00:09It's fine, it's cool
00:12You can say that we ain't nothing
00:15But you know the truth
00:17And guess I'm the fool
00:20With your arms out like an angel
00:24Through the car sunroof
00:26And I cry
00:27It's not fair
00:29I just need a little love
00:32And I just need a little air
00:35I think I'm gonna call it art
00:37Even if you call it love
00:39I just love someone who calls me, baby
00:42You can crush on me, boys and boys
00:46Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
00:50You can say it's just the way you are
00:55Make a new excuse for the stupid reason
00:59Good love for you
01:00Well, good love for you
01:03You're out to stop the world
01:05Just to stop the feeling
01:07Good love for you
01:08Well, good love for you
01:11You're out to stop the world
01:13Just to stop the feeling
01:31With a killer attitude and a badass role
01:35You may be shocked to learn that Lisa's terribly nice
01:39Do you think you're a good date?
01:41Come on, really?
01:42What are you talking about?
01:45And I'm sound, aren't I?
01:47I've no ill intention towards any human
01:48And I just wanted everybody to have with her and be happy
01:51Like the feeling can't hold us
01:54Like the feeling can't hold us
01:56Hey, girl
02:01That one?
02:02No?
02:05My God
02:08Pleasure to meet you
02:09Pleasure to meet you too, brother
02:10You definitely brought positivity and style
02:14I've been described as a hit of dopamine
02:17Because I'm so hyper
02:19But I've also been described as a wrecked head
02:23This is your place
02:24This is like a video coming to do a UFC fight or something
02:27Everybody's square up to me here
02:31My man
02:33I'm like Barbara
02:34I love her head
02:36So tell me, tell me what you're looking for
02:39The Jacobite
02:41This is your date, I'm afraid
02:43I mean, I requested something a little different
02:46Do you have any strategy on the date?
02:50No, I'm an absolute mess
02:57No picking
02:58Stop it
03:00You're embarrassing me
03:12I need to feel the attraction
03:20It's more of an energy for me
03:22I think an energy can be more attractive than how someone looks
03:29It's really the vibe when I meet them
03:31It's really the vibe
03:38It's really the vibe
03:39Hi there
03:40Hi, how are you?
03:41Hey, boo
03:42Good to see you again
03:43Thank you

03:46Yeah, a little bit
03:47Yeah, okay
03:47Stay here with me
03:48We'll put you at the end
03:49And then I'll get you there, okay?
03:51I think I'd like someone who is open-minded
03:54Someone who I can be myself with
03:57And who's comfortable being themselves
03:59Someone who's just confident
04:00And really well assured of themselves
04:03Hey, how are you?

04:29I was drinking
04:31Would you like a drink?

04:35Love potion, absolutely
04:36Yeah, please, thank you
04:38Here, where was
04:39Are the chips chunky in here?
04:44What was the genuine question?
04:47You'll be too busy chatting
04:48You won't care about the chips
04:55Not every love song is a duet
04:58Ask Dermit
05:00It's a one-man band
05:05Shameless more of the trends at Ben
05:09Just kind of a one-man show
05:10There's becky tracks on the keyboard
05:12So I have speakers, microphones
05:13All the other crackers
05:15The gear isn't nothing too offensive
05:18Gets the job, though
05:25What's your name?
05:25How are you doing?
05:26Dermit
05:26Dermit, nice to meet you
05:27Where's the accent from?
05:28Cork
05:29North Cork
05:30I'm from Reeling
05:31A small village in North Cork
05:33It's actually the highest village in Ireland
05:35What brings you on?
05:36Hopeless romantic
05:37Well, look, there's no such thing as a hopeless romantic
05:39There has to be hope somewhere
05:41I will try it over
05:42I'd like someone that's good Craig
05:44Someone from the country
05:45If it was possible
05:46I'd be more able to have a conversation with them
05:48Because they'd kind of get what
05:49They'd get what I'm on about
05:52Where Shannon comes from
05:54Life isn't just sweet
05:56It's sweeter by a country mile
06:00I'm from Turnavalla
06:01So it's a small village
06:02In West Limerick
06:04And it's actually the longest village in Ireland
06:07I do like someone who is a bit of a culty
06:12Towny people
06:13They just don't have the same personality
06:15That a culty person would have

08:17So what do you do for them?
08:19I was doing home care

08:24Because I was just like burnt out and I'm a single parent and I don't have any help with her
08:28Now that I've had more time to myself I'm like hmm

09:32I actually went for the Limerick Rose this year as well
09:35Oh yeah?
09:35It's so funny
09:36Yeah
09:37I didn't get it now but it was a great experience
09:40Yeah
09:40Yeah
09:40I got sponsored by my job in the Sentra
09:42My escort is lovely in fairness
09:45The poor creator he had to walk four of us up
09:47So he had to like run up back down again and get the next girl
09:50Because there wasn't enough escorts for all of us
09:53I used to play the concertina and when I went for the Rose like that was my party piece
09:58Yeah
09:58I stood there in front of like a full ballroom in a deer in Count Limerick like it was crazy
10:05I played a keyboard and a fiddle
10:07Oh really?
10:08Yeah I had a more country music in myself
10:10You were able to jive some?
10:12Yeah I'm fairly well able to jive
10:14Oh very good
10:14I actually done classes
10:17We went for a couple of weeks but I still can barely jive like
10:21And I left the teacher that's it
10:22Yeah exactly
10:24I like going out Saturday night like any regular country fella
10:28We'd always go to a pub where there's a bit of music on
10:31No matter who the bend is I'll end up singing a few songs in a way
10:34I'm in school and how do you feel like?
10:35My father's first cousin was the principal
10:36No way
10:38Liam
10:40I was saying that to the girls before I came up to
10:41Imagine if I actually know this person like
10:43I've seen them before
10:44I literally said that last night
10:45If I drove all the way up the Dublin
10:47She would probably like half an hour over the road
10:51I don't know you at all that
10:52No I don't
10:53I don't know you there
10:54I don't know you there
10:54I don't know where it's a journal
10:55No
11:02It's been a while
11:03I haven't done it sober
11:08Are you okay?
11:09Yeah, it just landed on my forehead
11:14First meeting me
11:15I think some people are like
11:16Oh my god
11:17Is he alright?
11:18Did he have a bunch of Red Bull or something?
11:25Some people think I'm like a dog running around
11:28You know I kind of have that golden retriever brain
11:35I can't sit still for a long time, you know
11:37I'm excited
11:38I like the flowers
11:39Thank you
11:40A few brownie bones
11:41You're going to help there, huh?
11:43Yeah
11:43What do you do yourself for a living?
11:44What is your trait?
11:45I am a doctor
11:46Have you a catch for the lady?
11:49Oh, thank you
11:49Thank you
11:50I don't know about that
11:51But we'll see
11:52I've never gone too far astray from just being myself
11:56Unapologetically myself
11:58Wow
11:58These actually cost a penny
12:00Fair play
12:00It did
12:00I bought them off the ladies in Grand Street
12:02She tried to talk me out of them
12:03She was like
12:03They're too expensive now
12:04And I was like
12:05What's going on?
12:06First dating?
12:08And how vulnerable does dating make you feel?
12:12Brutal at times
12:12You know
12:13It is like marketing for your soul
12:15You know
12:17You
12:17Want this forever?
12:18I was like talking to my mum on the way here
12:20And she's like
12:20Keith
12:21Just
12:21Be you
12:22But a little less
12:28Onya's had just about enough of a little less
12:31What she really wants
12:33Is a little more
12:35You'll ask for clarity on the third or fourth date
12:38And it's not like
12:38Listen
12:39No one's asking you to settle down
12:40Like hand out a ring
12:41Nothing like that
12:41But it's like you're just kind of asking for like
12:43A little bit of clarity
12:44And then they're like
12:44Whoa
12:44Like
12:45Oh
12:45Take chill pill
12:51I thought
12:52As I got older
12:53Oh yeah
12:53Like now I'll find somebody who's like
12:55You know
12:55Ready to settle down
12:56Like ready to I suppose get married
12:58Have kids
13:01I feel like it's worse they're getting at this point
13:07No
13:07That doesn't matter
13:09I knew I was going to get it wrong
13:13Yeah well perfection is boring
13:16Hi Onya
13:19I like someone who's active
13:21Like I would be very like go go go
13:22I do like a bit of facial hair as well

15:13I have a complicated family
15:14I was raised with my grandparents
15:16How was that?
15:18It was great
15:19Okay
15:19Until I died
15:20Oh, I'm sorry

15:26My grandmother passed away
15:27My mum
15:27Like I called my mum
15:29Passed away when I was 12
15:30So I was kind of
15:31It was upheaval from there
15:32Like you know
15:34So there was a lot of
15:36Windy roads
15:37My grandad had died
15:38And I was
15:39I was 23
15:40Oh I'm so sorry

15:51You know
15:52You're born
15:53With a number of breaths
15:55And every single breath you take
15:57That number gets less
15:59So I will never waste the breath on the side
16:01Promise you that
16:04I was drifting my forklift
16:06I flew off the side of it
16:07And is that your forklift?
16:10God it is
16:10Why do you have a forklift?
16:12I want to have a forklift
16:13I want to have a forklift
16:13I want to lift things
16:14Right, so just have a forklift
16:15Okay
16:16Yeah
16:16I like to fork things
16:19I like to fork things
16:21I like to fork things

16:36Blah blah
16:36Have you all done up then?
16:38I would like to have a bit more to love than I have
16:40But
16:41I have like number plates
16:42And like

16:44Sea covers and stuff like
16:45But
16:45Do you get a little orb and piped?
16:47I don't know now
16:47Can you imagine me as a teacher coming into the school
16:49And the car is going
16:51You look well alright now
16:53I would have been the quiet child in school
16:55I would not have put up my hand light to answer a question
16:57And
16:59Now
16:59Going to be the teacher that will be teaching the class
17:01Like
17:02That's such a difference
17:03When I went on placement in the first year
17:04I was just out of the same school myself
17:06And then I would try and teach these 18 year olds
17:08Yeah
17:08The same age as yourself
17:09Yeah literally
17:10What did you think they made brothers there
17:12When you had them?
17:13Oh they were grand
17:13Oh great crackers
17:14I'm fairly troublesome
17:15I'd say hello to the children
17:16They were deadly cracking it
17:18I'm actually going back to the secondary school
17:20I went to myself
17:21So it's like a real full circle moment
17:24And how long have you been working in your job then?
17:27About a year it's
17:28Oh yeah
17:29Before that
17:29I had a bar myself in the market
17:32Nice
17:33I took over a bar when I was 19
17:35Really?
17:35Yeah
17:35Stayed at it for a year
17:37The tone kind of needed a lift
17:38You know I would say
17:40The tone was gone quite
17:41And when the opportunity came up I said
17:44Let's give it a shot
17:45But rural nightlife in general is
17:47Kind of gone
17:49Unless there's a party or something
17:50Yeah exactly
17:51I think I was the youngest publican in the country at the time I was told
17:55I don't know my half mind going back into bars again but
17:58I don't know do I want to go back down below till 2 o'clock every fucking morning
18:01It's tough enough like when all your friends are going out as well
18:04Yeah
18:04It's just two turning down from one person
18:06But look I had a great year
18:08I made great friends and everything all of it
18:09So I
18:10Not all don't know it says so
18:13Do you have any pets?
18:15We've dug it on
18:16We've cattle
18:17We had hens
18:18The hens went missing
18:21Oh no
18:23Nine of them
18:24Oh no
18:26I just can't figure out what happened then
18:30They didn't run away from the fox
18:32Don't know
18:39I'm so excited I'm kind of hungry
18:40Yes I'm excited too
18:42Yeah
18:42And I only have like three default states
18:44It's excitement or hunger
18:45What's the third?
18:47Sleep
18:47Sleep?
18:48That's fair enough
18:49That's fair yeah
18:50I have had a lot of relationships
18:53It's like a running joke and my friends are like
18:55Oh classic
18:55This guy is better than the last guy
18:57He's amazing
18:58And then it just falls to shit
19:00Because I have like rose colored glasses on
19:02And I just completely like dismiss other stuff
19:04So I've stopped doing that now
19:05Thank you so much
19:06Thanks
19:07I've kind of stopped settling
19:08If the person isn't right for me
19:09They're not right for me
19:10Can I ask how old you?
19:12I'm 34
19:12I'm 31
19:13You are 31?
19:14Yeah
19:14God I thought
19:15Well you look easily 25
19:18Or you've got this aura about you
19:20It's beautiful
19:21You're by far the hottest girl I've ever gone on a date with
19:25I move every six months or so for my work and emergency hours are bad
19:29It doesn't really allow too much for dating
19:32And you're living in Shremore?
19:33I am
19:34I just moved there two weeks ago
19:35It's so nice
19:36Yeah
19:37You've got to come down
19:38It's really cool
19:39I do have to go down
19:40I'm training to be a GP now
19:42So I'm at a place in my life and my career where I can say
19:45You know what?
19:45I'm going to take a little bit for me now
19:47And so hopefully all that changes
19:50I haven't even looked

23:36I'll have to like see how like
23:39The rest of my life goes
23:40How vulnerable does dating make you feel?
23:43The vulnerability of probably a two year old child lost in the middle of a city
23:47When it comes to being like in an actual romantic setting
23:49I just lost confidence
23:51You know
23:52Like that
23:53I'm 36
23:54Nothing's ever worked out
23:55I was really quiet in my 20s to be fair
23:57Erm
23:58I er
23:59Yeah I remember mentally in my 30s
24:01You can feel vulnerable
24:02But
24:03It makes me feel optimistic also
24:05If the person's not right for you
24:06You're one step closer to the person who is
24:08I was mental in my 20s
24:10I loved succession
24:11I was a bit of a rape

27:07I've worked in Aboriginal rural communities
27:10Working with Aboriginal adults
27:12And disengaged teenagers
27:14That love of teaching is still there
27:16So it's something that I still wish to continue
27:19So two wives
27:20Come on
27:20I'm curious
27:21Oh yes
27:22I have to be honest

27:25Oh
27:26Me and you both
27:27Yeah
27:27We had 16 wonderful years
27:29But I think we both changed
27:31Yeah our lives were different
27:32As individuals
27:33Um
27:34Yes I was married a second time
27:36But that relationship lasted nearly two decades
27:39Yeah
27:40I think I'm a better person partnered
27:43Of being single many years
27:45And now I'm ready to fill that void
27:47I was married for 27 years before I got separated
27:51The first thing I did when I got separated was
27:55I signed up to do a degree
27:56I did a degree in marketing part time
27:59Oh done yeah
28:00I had been in a relationship from such a young age
28:04That I just needed to find myself
28:07Like come back to the person I should have been
28:10If I
28:10I would have been
28:11If I hadn't have gotten married
28:13When I got married
28:14Do you travel?
28:15Yeah
28:15Like last year or now

30:14I was
30:20I'd say yes
30:21What if he is at it after?
30:23I don't know much.
30:27Do you think he could be boyfriend material?
30:30He definitely could be, yeah.
30:32Yeah.

30:52Yeah, no, get them out.
30:54No.
30:56Don't go behind the bear.
30:57Why?

31:02Sorry, son.
31:03Oh, my God.
31:04Can I get the roses dial up behind the bear, please?
31:06Yes, of course.
31:07Thank you so much.
31:09You hardly thought I was going to moonwalk behind the bear.
31:12There's something in the flowers that, eh.
31:15Oh, thank you.
31:18Just have a look behind the heart.
31:25What's this?
31:26My roomie.
31:27Huh?
31:38What?
31:41It was my room key.
31:43Oh.
31:44Well, I actually think you're nicer than that.
31:46So, there is a driver organised to bring you home.
31:49What are they talking about?
31:51I have a driver organised to bring you home.
31:52All the way home?
31:54It's on the web.
31:56Wow, okay.
31:58So, you were expecting someone to go up to your room tonight, were you?
32:01Yeah.
32:02You don't know who you're going to meet.
32:04Okay.
32:05Yeah, I think you're more respectful than that.
32:07No, you judge me right.
32:10Yeah, I think so.
32:14You're a nice girl.
32:20Do you like to cook?
32:21Sometimes.
32:22I wouldn't say I'm a great cook, but I enjoy feeding people.
32:24I like to cook.
32:25Love making bread.
32:27Sourdough?
32:27Yeah.
32:28Love sourdough.
32:29I tried once, I made a brick.
32:31Why do you think your mum would say you're single?
32:34She says I'm a bit all over the place.
32:36She always buys self-help books.
32:38How to manage ADHD and have a relationship.
32:41That was the last book she bought me.
32:44I write stories.
32:45You write stories?
32:46What kind of stories?
32:47Like fantasy mostly, but I also write funny stories.
32:51I'm big into fantasy books.
32:53Yeah.
32:54No way.
32:55I can't believe you write fantasy books.
32:57Yeah.
32:57It's shocking.
32:58I'm trying.
32:59What are you reading in the moment?
33:00I like The Wheel of Time.
33:02So good.
33:02The show, terrible.
33:03It's shockingly bad.
33:04It's so bad.
33:05I would be definitely a little bit nerdy as well.
33:07I love reading fantasy books.
33:08I do love cleaning as well.
33:10I hate to say it.
33:10My friends always know if something happened or if I ended,
33:13like a lot or something like that,
33:14they're like something in that house is getting deep cleaned.
33:17I'm going to feed you.
33:18No, I'm not going to feed you.
33:19I forgot.
33:19Oh, Phoebe.
33:20Fuck it.
33:21Really?
33:21I don't know what I'm doing.
33:23This is shocking.
33:24You don't even do this.
33:25I never do this.
33:27I'm going to feed you now.
33:28Are you going to feed me?
33:32Is this my fork or your fork?
33:33I don't give a fork.
33:35It's your fork.
33:36No, no.
33:36Oh my God, you didn't.
33:37I did.
33:38Just do it fine.
33:39That was actually pretty good.
33:40Do you like dad jokes?
33:41I do.
33:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:42Okay, so you make bread.
33:44I make bread.
33:44You're super hot.
33:46You read fantasy.
33:47My weird matches your weird.
33:49Let's do it.
33:50Yeah.
33:54She's a lovely girl.
33:55She's too lovely for me though.
33:57She's lovely.
33:57She's good looking.
33:58She's a mommy.
34:01She's like...
34:02She's still a really beautiful person.
34:03But I kind of felt really bad then.
34:05Because I gave her a bunch of flowers with my room key.
34:07And I was like...
34:09I think it's fine.
34:10I have a car organising to go home.
34:12Here, do you want to swap seats?
34:13Come on.
34:14Just, just, shut the swap seats to me.
34:17Of course.
34:17Just do it.
34:19I got flowers.
34:22I've never got flowers on a date before.
34:24Yeah, we'll just see how it goes.
34:26It's good fun at the moment.
34:28Like, she's really funny.
34:29And your chips are lovely.
34:32Listen.
34:33You just look forward and pinch me.
34:40Hi guys.
34:41Am I staying with you?
34:42I didn't go.
34:43This is, um...
34:45Lee.
34:46Sorry.
34:46I'm Boo.
34:48Are you Lee?
34:50No.
34:51What's your name?
34:52Callum.
34:52Hi, Callum.
34:53Hi, Ed.
34:54Hi, what's your name?
34:55Hi, Gabby.
34:56Nice to meet you.
34:58Lad, if you want mine, can I actually get my seat back?
35:00Yeah.
35:01My day is over there.
35:02Do you know what I mean?
35:02It's a bit rude.
35:08The hips are good.
35:09Oh, they are, aren't they?
35:09That's always a good start, yeah.
35:11Look, cheers.
35:11And your company's been lovely so far.
35:13Oh, thank you.
35:16Oh, you're allowed. I want to.
35:18That's OK.
35:19How's that?
35:19OK.
35:22My mother was Italian.
35:23We all had fish and chip shops,
35:25so we all lived over fish and chip shops and whatever.
35:27Italian heritage.
35:28Yeah.
35:29They would have come over as immigrants,
35:32and they had nothing.
35:33Mum used to say, we did have land.
35:35We'd land, yeah, no, we'd land initially.
35:37It was great for growing rocks.
35:43Do you ever get lonely?
35:45I call it Sunday blues,
35:47that Sunday feeling when everybody's with their family,
35:50everybody's with their other half.
35:51Everybody has somebody except you.
35:54This is my fierce, and I have a cat on a swing.
35:58See, it's a bit of a joke, because...
36:01Oh, yeah, yeah.
36:01A big swing.
36:02Uh-huh.
36:03You've got to embrace it.
36:04Being single can be lonely.
36:06I enjoy going to gigs on my own.
36:08Or the cinema on my own.
36:10But I think having company would be a better thing.
36:14Do you like your live music?
36:15Yes, I love music.
36:17I love my live music.
36:18I love everything from opera to pop,
36:22and anything in between.
36:23Music makes you happy.
36:25Yeah, yeah.
36:25I find music medicinal.
36:27Yes.
36:28I'm a member of a four-part harmony chorus.
36:31Yes.
36:32So in Melbourne, but there's a group here
36:35that I've been to one of their meetings,
36:37and so that's a group that I'd be joining.
36:42Coming up, there's performing.
36:44Could be Wexford.
36:45Okay.
36:46It's down the road.
36:50So, yeah, if there's a second date,
36:52perhaps we can go there.
36:58This girl is amazing.
37:01She makes bread.
37:02She likes fantasy books.
37:05She's a marine biologist.
37:06Super hot.
37:07She is absolutely stunning.
37:09She is a 10 out of 10, Leah.
37:10She is perfect.
37:13This is so good.
37:17Well, I'm glad nobody's really losing their cool.
37:19No, nobody's losing their cool.
37:22As I jump up and down.
37:25Nice and calm.
37:26Yeah, nice and calm.
37:27Cool it down.
37:27No, but I really like her.
37:28She's doing this.
37:29If I can just nail this next bit,
37:33I think I've got a winner.
37:36I don't like being in situations with people like me.
37:41Like you?
37:42Yeah, people like me who are a little bit wild.
37:45And people that are calmer than you handle you?
37:49No.
37:50And that's the problem.
37:51You seem very calm.
37:55Or is there a wildness there?
37:57Yeah, me.
37:59I had a really good time.
38:00Really pretty girl.
38:01Really quiet.
38:03Total opposite of me.
38:06You put the whole thing in your mouth?
38:07Yeah.
38:08Stop it.
38:10I can be a little bit like all over the place.
38:13And like it's fun to me,
38:14but it could be embarrassing to some other people.
38:16I think she deserves a bit better.
38:19I would like to play in the village.
38:20That's okay.
38:20Are you sure?
38:21Absolutely.
38:21Honestly, you've been a delight.
38:23I'll tell you that.
38:26Would you like to see each other again romantically?
38:30Go ahead.
38:32Harley, ladies first.
38:36Um, I would say we'd be good as friends.
38:41For sure.
38:42Do you agree?
38:42Yeah.
38:43Yeah?
38:43I think I'd make a showy everywhere we go.
38:47Thank you, my flowers.
38:50It is.
38:51That's right.
38:52And like, I think sometimes it's just not there.
38:56And this time it wasn't.
38:57Yeah.
38:58But it doesn't mean there wasn't a spark of like, similarity.
39:01Interests.
39:02Yeah.
39:02Yeah.
39:02Definitely, man.
39:04It was a pleasure.
39:05See ya.
39:05See ya.
39:06Bye.
39:07It was a really fun day.
39:08It was a great crack.
39:09But I think we'd be really good as friends.
39:11Yeah, for sure.
39:12Yeah, for sure.
39:13Definitely.
39:13Here, go on then.
39:15You might as well.
39:17Ha ha.
39:26Can I just say I love your accent?
39:28And I love yours.
39:30I can understand yours.
39:31So, picturing how the day could go horribly wrong, I thought there'd be lots of instances
39:36in me asking, sorry, what did you say?
39:38Sorry, what did you say?
39:40But that never happened.
39:41That's years of education lessons.
39:44No way.
39:46Love to me is when you're not trying to change somebody to be who you want them to be.
39:51Is it okay to be vulnerable wanting to spend time with them and being happy when they're
39:58doing something they want to do without you, that it's, that's okay too?
40:01Sounds like you do a lot of traveling.
40:03I can see, um, perhaps some, you know, if we were to have a second date and beyond, it's
40:09something that we could do together and, and apart and we'd both be okay with that.
40:13Absolutely.
40:14I have to be very honest.
40:17Please.
40:19I'm not looking to get married again.
40:21I'm looking for a companion.
40:23I hate that word because it makes you sound very old, but I don't mean it in that sense.
40:27I get exactly what you've just said.
40:29Yes, that's, that's it.
40:30You don't have to think about being in love.
40:34It's just comfortable.
40:36Having the confidence in another person that they get you.
40:41Now there's a period of my life that I recognize that, you know, there's, am I lonely?
40:47No.
40:48But would I like to be in a relationship?
40:50Yes.
40:50Okay.
40:51Yes.
40:52Yeah.
40:52I get you.
40:54I get you.
40:55That's me.
40:56I'm not lonely.
40:58I'm very content.
41:00But when I'd love somebody in my life.
41:02There you go.
41:02Yeah.
41:03Because all I wanted Margaret out of this was to meet someone who got me.
41:07Yeah?
41:08And, um.
41:09And that's all I wanted was somebody who got me.
41:19That umami is so good.
41:22Sorry.
41:23I watch a lot of Gordon Ramsay.
41:25I'm not going to lie.
41:25Of course.
41:26Of course.
41:26It's my emotional support show.
41:28That and The Office.
41:29The Office is my comfort show.
41:30Yeah.
41:30It's my comfort show.
41:31I watched that last night.
41:33I did too.
41:35Oh my God.
41:37Oh my God.
41:38That's amazing.
41:39Why did we both watch it?
41:41We're both nervous.
41:42What would you love to come out of this?
41:44Honestly, it'd be great to find a partner.
41:47I have six siblings.
41:48I was seven of us all together.
41:49Seven.
41:49Big family.
41:50Are you close to your family?
41:51Yeah, yeah.
41:52We're very close.
41:53Five of them live in America.
41:54Me and my little sister live here.
41:55And my parents live here as well.
41:57I grew up in a very, very loving household.
41:59You know, it was just hugs.
42:01Laughter everywhere.
42:02It's hard to go and be alone after a lifetime of that.
42:06And where do you fall on that?
42:08Do you want to have kids?
42:09Yeah.
42:09Do you want to settle down?
42:10Yeah.
42:10I want to have kids.
42:11I want to settle down.
42:11Yeah.
42:11Whatever to sell.
42:12Me too.
42:13Yeah.
42:13Yeah.
42:14How many do you want?
42:16Um...
42:17Oh.
42:18If you fucking say seven.
42:22It's not happening.
42:23Okay, I'll settle for five.
42:24Oh my God.
42:25I'm only joking.
42:26I would like just to go home to someone and, you know, no matter what life throws at you,
42:30there's always your best friend at home, you know.
42:33So it'd be nice.
42:35How do you find the moving around?
42:37That's awful, yeah.
42:38I'm not going to lie.
42:39Like, it has to be done.
42:40We have to do every position.
42:41For how long does it have to be done?
42:42So I have a year-long post in Tremor, and then I'm back in the hospital on medical call
42:48for four months.
42:49Don't worry, I'll come back every weekend.
42:50If you're crossing me.
42:53No.
42:54No.
42:54No.
42:55Honestly, I travel a lot for work as well.
42:57Do you?
42:58So maybe we could, you know, circuits could work.
43:01Yeah.
43:01If you want to go on more dates, I would love to go on another date.
43:05I really love it.
43:07This is perfect.
43:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:08You're perfect.
43:10Perfect.
43:11Exactly.
43:15Oh, that looks gorgeous.
43:17White chocolate hearts.
43:18Oh, look at you.
43:18Enjoy.
43:20Look at you.
43:22Now.
43:23Go for it.
43:23Go on.
43:23Okay, do I crack it?
43:24I don't know.
43:25Does it be a trick?
43:26Oh, no, it doesn't crack.
43:28Oh, it's soft.
43:28Oh, look at you.
43:30Is that?
43:31Did you feel a spark?
43:33I did.
43:33Yes, I did feel a spark.
43:35I'm very happy with my choice.
43:37Do you want to taste?
43:38Would you like a taste?
43:39There was just so many connections that it was like, tick, tick, tick.
43:47Cheers again.
43:49Cheers.
43:50To our first date.
43:51First.
43:52We were both wanting the same thing.
43:55It just started to feel right.
43:58Thank you very much.
44:00You're very welcome.
44:01Gentlemen.
44:02Absolutely.
44:03Flowers and dinner.
44:05I know.
44:06I've been looking forward to this for a while.
44:11Would you guys like to see each other again?
44:14Do you want to go first or should I?
44:16Please do.
44:17I'd like to.
44:18Yes, very much.
44:20And I'd like to also.
44:22Yes.
44:28Appreciate it.
44:28Bye now.
44:32Vicino mare.
44:34He's so nice.
44:36Handsome.
44:37Beautiful eyes.
44:38Oh, and I love the accent.
44:42Absolutely love the accent.
44:47We were ticking off boxes of the different things that we had in common.
44:52Lots to learn about one another.
44:54It was all, it was meant to be from there.
44:56Yeah, yeah.
44:58Do you think Robin is boyfriend material?
45:00Yes.
45:01It's exciting.
45:02It is exciting, yeah.
45:07Where will date number two be?
45:10I think it will include red wine.
45:12Yes.
45:12Live music.
45:13Yes.
45:13And I think I'll maybe invite you out to Malahide.
45:17Malahide.
45:17Yeah.
45:18It's happening.
45:39Now, so I'm here to tell you lovely people.
45:42We've got to go.
45:43Are you serious?
45:44Oh my God, it actually flew.
45:46I thought it was just beginning.
45:49Tell me, what went through your mind when you first saw her?
45:52Oh my God, I was like, oh God, way out of my league here.
45:56Do you want to spit it?
45:57Absolutely not.
45:58Thank you so much.
46:00The chats were absolutely amazing.
46:02She is exactly my type of girl through and through.
46:05Thank you so much.
46:06The service is great.
46:07Everybody's great.
46:08Ten out of ten.
46:09Ten out of ten.
46:10Thank you so much.
46:11Would recommend.
46:11Such a pleasure to have you, love.
46:13Yeah.
46:13Such fun.
46:15Would you like to see each other again romantically?
46:18Three.
46:19Two.
46:20One.
46:20Yes.
46:21Oh, you didn't?
46:23Did you plan that?
46:25No, I thought you were going to say it first.
46:26The man always has to answer that.
46:27Oh, do I say it first?
46:28You have to say it.
46:29The man has to say it first.
46:29Yes.
46:30Yes.
46:30A hundred percent yes.
46:31A thousand percent.
46:33Yes.
46:34Yes.
46:35I'm really glad we met.
46:37Me too.
46:38I'm really glad too.
46:39Yeah, honestly.
46:39I think this is going to be, this is something special.
46:42I just want to know you better know, you better know, you better now.
46:47It was amazing.
46:48He's so nice.
46:49He's so genuine.
46:50Very similar values.
46:52Wants to get married, wants to have kids.
46:54I just can't believe he hasn't been kind of like snapped up at this point in his life,
46:57to be honest.
46:58All I know is that I have jackets.
47:01I actually brought a jumper for you, in case you wanted to go and drink with me.
47:05Yes.
47:05Thank you so much.
47:06Could he get any more golf balls?
47:10I have a wedding coming up in Italy I need a plus one for.
47:12When's the wedding?
47:13And September.
47:14And there's another one in Edinburgh.
47:15Do you want to go?
47:16Let's go.
47:16Okay, let's, let's.
47:18Oh my God.
47:19Swan-dived into this.
47:23Where are you, darling?
47:25Where are you going?
47:26If life has taught me anything, it's that you don't know what's around the corner.
47:31I had definitely kind of given up for a while, and I did have a good feeling about this date,
47:35but I didn't fully know.
47:37I'll take him down, take him down, and open up the door for you.
47:40I feel like I've always wanted someone like her, you know, not to jump the gun or anything,
47:44but I felt she, I could definitely wake up to her someday.
47:48He ticks literally all the boxes.
47:54He's definitely boyfriend material, yeah.
47:57Woo!
47:58Woo!

48:46I would like to take you to places that you'll like and just see you smile.
48:49I like being taken to places.
48:51Let's do it.
49:04Everything has changed.
49:34Let's do it.
