FunTranscript
00:00:10It still doesn't feel real.
00:00:12He's become one of the most important people in my life in just two months.
00:00:18And now we're standing here about to get married.
00:00:21There's a lot at stake.
00:00:23Oh, baby, it's gonna be okay.
00:00:30And it's love.
00:00:32And I didn't think I'd ever find it.
00:00:35That somehow we both feel that we are meant to be in love.
00:00:38It feels like magic is magical.
00:00:40Yeah!
00:00:42This experiment is the best thing I've done in my entire life.
00:00:45Oh, my God!
00:00:48You're talking to somebody behind a wall, and you realize, my God, they're the one I'm looking for.
00:00:54You're the best thing in the world.
00:00:56This is crazy.
00:01:01I just want your love.
00:01:04I'm down on one me.
00:01:06No!
00:01:07Will you marry me?
00:01:09Yes, I will!
00:01:10Let's go!
00:01:11You can't really love me!
00:01:15This could be the biggest mistake ever.
00:01:18Let me go.
00:01:18I need space.
00:01:19I don't get anything.
00:01:20I'm done.
00:01:21Why should I have to prove that I deserve love?
00:01:24Oh, my fucking God.
00:01:26I can't take it.
00:01:28It's just so toxic.
00:01:28Leave me alone.
00:01:30It's feeling like you don't get it.
00:01:32No, you're right about that.
00:01:33The worst thing that could have happened, happened.
00:01:37Everyone runs into hurdles in their relationships.
00:01:41But, as long as we say I do, I'll be the happiest girl ever.
00:01:54School for me!
00:01:55Cheers, everybody!
00:01:57Cheers!
00:01:58Cheers!
00:01:59Cheers!
00:02:01Cheers!
00:02:01Cheers!
00:02:02You're here!
00:02:02Good luck!
00:02:05How's everybody feeling right now?
00:02:06You good at dating multiple men?
00:02:08Well, no one can say I haven't tried.
00:02:10I'm judged on how I look, so I'm curious.
00:02:13I tend to end up in weird situations, so that's...
00:02:16But I do want somebody with some self-awareness.
00:02:19Hmm, yeah.
00:02:19Hey!
00:02:21Hey!
00:02:24Hey!
00:02:24Hey!
00:02:26Hey!
00:02:27Hey!
00:02:27Come, come sit down.
00:02:28Hey!
00:02:30Hey!
00:02:30Hey!
00:02:32It's wonderful to see you all.
00:02:35My name is Jessica Almanes, and it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Sweden's biggest
00:02:41love experiment.
00:02:44Love is blind, Sweden.
00:02:52What really brought you here to the experiment?
00:02:55I obviously can't choose guys by myself, so it'd be good if someone else helps.
00:02:59Yes, we need that.
00:03:00Exactly.
00:03:01That's what's so great about this experiment.
00:03:04And you know that.
00:03:05Hopefully everyone here is committed, you know?
00:03:07Exactly.
00:03:08I also want a pillar of support.
00:03:11Someone safe.
00:03:12It's been proven to work.
00:03:13There are a lot of happy couples and parents out there that are evidence of that.
00:03:18I think it's so amazing.
00:03:20You have to take some risks.
00:03:22To think we might get married?
00:03:24Ah!
00:03:24Here come the tears again.
00:03:28What are you feeling, Joanna?
00:03:30Yeah, yeah.
00:03:31It's the anticipation.
00:03:32It's exciting.
00:03:34My mom calls every day asking the same thing.
00:03:36Have I found someone?
00:03:38So now I will tell her.
00:03:39Yes, I will.
00:03:41My mom said, don't bother.
00:03:43Nobody wants to meet you, Daniel.
00:03:47You sound like you drive a Subaru wearing flannel and rain boots.
00:03:50So, yeah.
00:03:52I've got an unattractive accent that I can't get rid of.
00:03:56I hope I've got something else to offer.
00:03:59There you go.
00:04:01Here in the pods, you will spend ten days dating.
00:04:05Without seeing each other.
00:04:07Hopefully the love of your life will be on the other side of the wall.
00:04:12If so, and you get engaged, you get to see each other for the first time.
00:04:16Is love blind?
00:04:19The adventure begins.
00:04:22The pods are now open!
00:04:25Woo!
00:04:27We're getting married!
00:04:30Here we go.
00:04:40Come on, guys.
00:04:41Let's go!
00:04:43Nervous?
00:04:44Are you excited?
00:04:47Good luck.
00:04:48My God.
00:04:50Good luck.
00:04:59Let's go, girls.
00:05:01Go for it.
00:05:02Go get them.
00:05:03Let's go.
00:05:04Good luck, guys.
00:05:05Hello.
00:05:07Hello, hello.
00:05:08Oh, my God.
00:05:09Hi there.
00:05:10Oh, sorry.
00:05:11I'm yelling.
00:05:12What an impression.
00:05:13What does love mean to you?
00:05:15Oh, God.
00:05:16I'm totally stressed out.
00:05:18Sometimes I wake up with a girl or two in bed.
00:05:21Yeah.
00:05:22The cats.
00:05:28The biggest red flag is creativity, and I just feel...
00:05:30Do you mean green flag?
00:05:32Oh, yes.
00:05:33Yes, that.
00:05:33Yeah, I'm a history nerd, so I like learning all kinds of stuff about random kings and Mongolians.
00:05:39Do you know that I can do a kula?
00:05:41What do you mean, kula?
00:05:43Oh, yoo-hoo!
00:05:46You, yoo-hoo!
00:05:50What do I do for work?
00:05:52I have my own basketball business.
00:05:55I used to play ball.
00:05:56So I guess you've got to be pretty tall then, huh?
00:06:00Yep, pretty tall.
00:06:01Like 6'2 or 6'0?
00:06:03Yep, more.
00:06:04More?
00:06:05And then some.
00:06:06Oh, 2 meters?
00:06:076'4?
00:06:086'5?
00:06:08Keep going.
00:06:09Oh, my Lord.
00:06:11You want to know?
00:06:12No.
00:06:13No.
00:06:15I'm 6'8.
00:06:23I'm here simply because I feel like the dating thing, for me, just hasn't been working out.
00:06:29I've been put in this box as just one thing, just a guy that's a ball player.
00:06:34I'm tall, and I guess I'm relatively good-looking.
00:06:38I'm a basketball player, and nobody takes my profession seriously.
00:06:42They see it as something that's just fun.
00:06:44One more step into this whole thing.
00:06:47Good luck.
00:06:49Nobody ever gets to know me for the guy I really am.
00:06:52I am misunderstood.
00:06:54Very misunderstood, and always have been.
00:06:56Who am I talking to?
00:06:58Angelica.
00:06:59Hi, Angelica.
00:07:00God, this is so nerve-wracking.
00:07:02I'm Aaron, by the way.
00:07:03God, I didn't even ask.
00:07:05No.
00:07:06Just, hello.
00:07:07Okay, hello, Aaron.
00:07:07You're like, whatever.
00:07:09My God.
00:07:10Okay, Aaron.
00:07:11Describe yourself in three words.
00:07:14Passionate, uh, big heart, and, I mean, I'm in love with life.
00:07:23Mm-hmm.
00:07:23Yeah.
00:07:24You passionate about anything?
00:07:26Do you have anything like that?
00:07:28Um, oh, that's a hard one.
00:07:31My family and my friends.
00:07:32I'd say one big thing for me is that I'm also really looking forward to starting a family.
00:07:38Oh, yeah?
00:07:39Yeah.
00:07:40Do you?
00:07:41I want kids.
00:07:42I love kids.
00:07:43Oh, good.
00:07:44Good.
00:07:46What else is important to you, aside from?
00:07:50In a relationship?
00:07:51In a relationship.
00:07:52I really want somebody who's secure and confident with themselves, and stable.
00:07:56What do you mean by stable, exactly?
00:07:59Somebody who knows what they want.
00:08:02I don't know about stable.
00:08:03If you put on a Disney movie, I might cry a river.
00:08:07Well, hell yeah, guys that cry at movies, I just love that.
00:08:11Oh, yeah?
00:08:12Yes.
00:08:13I can already tell I'm going to want to meet you again.
00:08:15Okay, stop it.
00:08:17What the hell?
00:08:17I'm getting so excited over here.
00:08:18Where did you come from?
00:08:20Yeah, who are you?
00:08:21Shit, this is crazy.
00:08:23Okay.
00:08:24Bye.
00:08:24Bye, Angelica.
00:08:28Holy shit.
00:08:32What have we gotten into?
00:08:46I'm really nervous.
00:08:48I don't know if that's very macho, Latino, masculine of me, but I'm just being honest about
00:08:56that, and I hope it won't throw me off.
00:09:02Ah, shit.
00:09:06I want to meet my partner and get married.
00:09:11So if I meet somebody on the other side of that wall, that's a good match.
00:09:16That's all I want.
00:09:19There's a possibility I won't have to be alone for the rest of my life, and that's enough.
00:09:26Son of a bitch.
00:09:30Hello?
00:09:31Hello?
00:09:32Howdy.
00:09:33Hi.
00:09:34Who do I have here?
00:09:36Well, uh, Fabian, and you?
00:09:38My name is Ellen.
00:09:39Hi, I'm kind of nervous.
00:09:41Is that okay?
00:09:42But is it less than before you came in?
00:09:44Yes, but I did think I wouldn't be able to open the door.
00:09:46Oh, sweetie, oh.
00:09:48Yeah, I told them I can't do this.
00:09:51It's a weird thing we're doing, so it's no wonder.
00:09:54I was nervous, too.
00:09:55Hmm.
00:09:56But tell me, where are you from?
00:09:58Yes, uh, oh, good God, straight in.
00:10:01That's great.
00:10:02Uh, well, I am from Argentina.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:05I studied medicine there for two years.
00:10:36Yeah?
00:11:03What's your relationship?
00:11:35I'm being looked after.
00:11:37Hmm, this feels weird, but hey, it's a flag.
00:11:40I'm like, that's fun.
00:11:42Is this how the players live?
00:11:44Hi.
00:11:46Who have I got in front of me?
00:11:48Well, you have a wall in front of you.
00:11:50No, my name's Daniel, and I live in Norr Shopping right now.
00:11:53Hey, I can hear it.
00:11:55Yeah, some people say I talk like a contraceptive.
00:11:58Let me tell you, it's been a real challenge, but I can't get rid of the dialect.
00:12:03This is what I sound like.
00:12:04I like the Norr Shopping dialect.
00:12:06My sister lives there.
00:12:07Oh, really?
00:12:08How about that?
00:12:09There we go.
00:12:10Have you been there, then?
00:12:11Lots.
00:12:12Where do you live, Ellen?
00:12:13I live in Stockholm.
00:12:14Nice.
00:12:15What do you do for work?
00:12:16Right now, I've always worked in sales.
00:12:18Okay, yeah.
00:12:19But I do have some side businesses.
00:12:21I co-own a little brewery with my brother.
00:12:24Cool.
00:12:25I import perfume vending machines from China with some friends of mine.
00:12:29Put them in restaurants.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:31Yeah, it's a big part of me.
00:12:33I really am a perfume lover.
00:12:34Just give me a spritz of anything.
00:12:36I love it all.
00:12:37Really?
00:12:39That's interesting,
00:12:40because it sounds like you're very ambitious.
00:12:42I definitely am.
00:12:44It's true.
00:12:44I've got a lot going on for sure.
00:12:46I love being Toastmaster if someone's getting married.
00:12:49I can see that.
00:12:50You have a real Toastmaster vibe, and that's great.
00:12:52I've seen Toastmaster at least seven or eight times in the past two years.
00:12:56Really?
00:12:56Yeah, I think it's just the best.
00:12:58Yeah?
00:12:59On the other hand, having to sit around the boring singles table is another thing,
00:13:03and it's obvious that they're single for a reason,
00:13:05and I sit there, and I'm not really interested in them.
00:13:08I want somebody to do all the fun things I do.
00:13:11I don't want to find someone to live with.
00:13:13I want somebody I can't live without.
00:13:15I really hope we meet again soon.
00:13:17I'd love to talk to you more.
00:13:19Hey, have a great day, Ellen.
00:13:21Okay, bye.
00:13:23Now that I'm 43 and older, I have a better idea of what I'm aiming for.
00:13:28I used to shoot with a shotgun, but now I have a really narrow sniper scope.
00:13:32Let's go, guys.
00:13:33There have been times I've met girls that were my exact opposite, very calm.
00:13:37Hey there.
00:13:38That do yoga.
00:13:39Now I think I should maybe find somebody that likes the same kind of things I do.
00:13:44We're having a beer tasting.
00:13:46No.
00:13:46I'm co-owner of a brewery with my brother.
00:13:49I would bring you to this cool little brewery that my brother and I are co-owners of.
00:13:53I'll arrange a beer tasting, if you're into beer.
00:13:56Yeah, that's nice, but I think maybe...
00:13:58Well, now there's also cider.
00:13:59I'll fix you up with ciders, no problem.
00:14:02If I see you again, I would love the chance to give you some lovely perfume.
00:14:06Yeah?
00:14:07I've dabbled with it a bit.
00:14:08I import perfume vending machines that I distribute.
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:11And what about perfumes?
00:14:13Do you like them?
00:14:14No.
00:14:14No?
00:14:15Didn't you hear that?
00:14:16No, I didn't hear that.
00:14:17No, because you talk so much.
00:14:19Oh, sorry.
00:14:20Bye.
00:14:21I need to learn to listen more in these days.
00:14:24I just felt it went quickly.
00:14:26I didn't have time to...
00:14:27I forgot to ask what her name was.
00:14:28But I do work in sales, so most of the time, that's an advantage.
00:14:32The customers also need to tell me what their needs are.
00:14:36If she has a fear of flying, maybe I don't have to sit and brag about my trips to Australia.
00:14:41What?
00:14:42What the heck?
00:14:43You really live in Australia?
00:14:45Yeah.
00:14:45I live in Sydney, in Neutral Bay.
00:14:47My God, that's crazy.
00:14:49I have family in Australia, and they live in Sydney.
00:14:52I've been there quite a bit.
00:14:54Oh.
00:14:54We have, or my family has a vineyard down there.
00:14:57What?
00:14:58Yeah.
00:14:58There's only one country on Earth where I feel at home, and that's Australia.
00:15:03Because everything works the same way as Sweden.
00:15:06Yeah, I feel like I could come back home to Sweden pretty easily and stay.
00:15:11But it would have to be for a good reason.
00:15:13Exactly.
00:15:14So...
00:15:14Like Daniel or something.
00:15:16Yeah, exactly.
00:15:17Exactly.
00:15:17So true.
00:15:18But hey, let's go to Australia then, and try to take over the vineyard instead.
00:15:22That sounds amazing.
00:15:24I feel like wherever my partner and I can have a better life is where I want to be.
00:15:29Well, sounds like a dream.
00:15:32Yes.
00:15:33I'm so ready.
00:15:38I live in Sydney, and I've lived there for 14 years now.
00:15:43It's like...
00:15:44It's just that dating in Sydney...
00:15:48It's...
00:15:49Yeah.
00:15:50It's a disaster.
00:15:52It's always next, next, next.
00:15:54You know, it's all just fun for now.
00:15:57So here I am.
00:15:59Hi.
00:16:00Good luck.
00:16:02When Swedish guys decide to commit, they commit.
00:16:06They just seem more ready and willing to have a long-term relationship with someone.
00:16:12So yeah, I've missed that.
00:16:15How do you feel about kids?
00:16:17I'm more kids.
00:16:18Definitely.
00:16:19You do?
00:16:19Yeah.
00:16:19If I can.
00:16:20When?
00:16:21As soon as I get married.
00:16:22Bang right away.
00:16:24Bang.
00:16:24Right away.
00:16:24I'll time the wedding with their ovulation.
00:16:28Oh my God.
00:16:30Okay, so how do you feel about dogs and cats?
00:16:33I love dogs.
00:16:34Dogs are great.
00:16:35I mean, cats, I could take them or leave them.
00:16:37They're just not as fun as dogs.
00:16:39I would normally agree with you, but I have one of those really big, long-haired cats...
00:16:44Okay.
00:16:45...that thinks he's a dog.
00:16:46I'm quite big and long.
00:16:47I mean, I'm not long-haired, but I do have a lot of hair on my body.
00:16:51Oh, okay.
00:16:52Oh, why'd I say that?
00:16:53How do we make that leap?
00:16:55You like long-haired things.
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:57I don't have long hair on my head, is what I mean.
00:17:00Yeah.
00:17:00So I'm not lying to you, but my body.
00:17:03I see.
00:17:04Jessica, it was nice to...
00:17:06Oh, sorry, Joanna.
00:17:08Yes.
00:17:10Sorry.
00:17:11Man, I just don't get it.
00:17:12I'm calmer during life-saving surgery than when I'm in there.
00:17:21I said some fucking weird shit.
00:17:23It's okay that you had a bad day.
00:17:27I don't think I've ever felt this neurotic in my life.
00:17:30How the hell are you supposed to show who you really are?
00:17:33When your future wife might be sitting on the other side?
00:17:39I'm a doctor, and I like being able to do all the hobbies that I have.
00:17:43Yeah?
00:17:43Brazilian jiu-jitsu, doing a lot of wrestling.
00:17:46My God.
00:17:47It can be chaotic sometimes.
00:17:48Okay.
00:17:49When I'm working on projects or doing some carpentry.
00:17:52You do carpentry?
00:17:53Furniture carpentry is something I really love.
00:17:55Well...
00:17:56I've done a lot of it.
00:17:56There's a bonus point for you, for sure.
00:17:59Oh, nice.
00:17:59Handymen, they are kind of sexy.
00:18:02Good.
00:18:03I'm very handy.
00:18:04Yeah?
00:18:04You had to emphasize that.
00:18:08So, what kind of person are you?
00:18:11I'm a complete music nerd.
00:18:13I've always been interested in music.
00:18:16Okay.
00:18:16My mom says I sang before I could talk.
00:18:19I love writing music.
00:18:20It's so much fun to write.
00:18:21Yes, nice.
00:18:23I work full-time at a record company.
00:18:25I run the A&R team.
00:18:27Well, that's an interesting job.
00:18:29Very social.
00:18:29Yeah?
00:18:30You know what it is?
00:18:31I do.
00:18:32I know some musicians.
00:18:33That's crazy.
00:18:34Yeah?
00:18:34Could we talk a little about...
00:18:36I'd like to see if I can get an idea of what you're like when you're in a relationship.
00:18:40Sure.
00:18:40Okay, so I like to talk a lot because I enjoy it.
00:18:44I share my feelings, my opinions, and my thoughts.
00:18:47What if something annoys you, then?
00:18:48I'll bring it up.
00:18:49Yeah?
00:18:50I'm not somebody that bottles things up.
00:18:52I just...
00:18:53I love that.
00:18:55I really do.
00:18:55Well, that's good.
00:18:56Yeah, I'm just...
00:18:57No, but it's...
00:18:57I'm exactly the same.
00:18:58Yeah.
00:18:59I have a very strong urge, an immense longing for meeting my person.
00:19:04My love for life.
00:19:05And I'm putting down the work to get a relationship to work.
00:19:08And I really do want to give all I have to a relationship.
00:19:14I think I do.
00:19:15But then I wonder if I go too far sometimes and it's too much.
00:19:18I get the feeling we'll see more of each other.
00:19:21Absolutely.
00:19:21Yes, bye.
00:19:23But I haven't found the right one yet.
00:19:24And I really do hope I will now.
00:19:27That would be like hitting the jackpot, actually.
00:19:30I've dated half of Stockholm, so...
00:19:33We were like, see you tomorrow.
00:19:35Oh, my God!
00:19:36It's so exciting.
00:19:37You okay?
00:19:38Yeah.
00:19:38It's finally starting to feel kind of good.
00:19:40Ready for day two?
00:19:42Yeah.
00:19:43Damn, bro.
00:19:43That's nice.
00:19:48Hi.
00:19:49Oh, my God.
00:19:51I've never felt so lonely.
00:19:54How did it go?
00:19:55So damn good.
00:19:56Did it?
00:19:57Yeah, so good.
00:19:58No.
00:19:58Really?
00:19:59Insane.
00:19:59Was it?
00:20:00You just here by yourself?
00:20:02Yeah, I'm going last.
00:20:03You excited?
00:20:04Yeah.
00:20:07Let's go, boys.
00:20:08Think zero-zero.
00:20:09I'm so freaking excited to do this.
00:20:11But I'm not kidding myself.
00:20:13I know it's going to get rough.
00:20:15When we're in the pods.
00:20:17Hello?
00:20:18Hi.
00:20:19You are?
00:20:19Ronia from Stockholm.
00:20:21How old are you?
00:20:21I'm 36.
00:20:23Nice, great.
00:20:24But wait, did you tell me where you live?
00:20:27Yes.
00:20:28So, yeah, it's hard for me to have long discussions.
00:20:32I have trouble concentrating.
00:20:34I think it's really important to be respectful.
00:20:37Hmm.
00:20:38And you?
00:20:39Uh, what do you mean?
00:20:41I can zone out and just be like, wait, what?
00:20:44It's hard for me to sit still.
00:20:46And so I'll just fidget or I'll do something else.
00:20:49No, no, no.
00:20:50I just got a nosebleed.
00:20:52This will work.
00:20:53I'll just shove this up my nose here.
00:20:56There.
00:20:57Yeah.
00:20:58I'll be fine.
00:20:59Have you been in a relationship before?
00:21:01I have.
00:21:02I'm a relationship guy.
00:21:04So I have missed it a lot, actually.
00:21:08So, yeah, that's why I'm here.
00:21:13I hope I can find somebody.
00:21:16Somebody to share life with.
00:21:18Somebody that's got the same kind of interests I do.
00:21:21Somebody that likes being active.
00:21:24Hello?
00:21:25Hey.
00:21:26But, yeah, I'm pretty flexible.
00:21:28Especially now that I've been single.
00:21:29I can't have too many requirements.
00:21:34I like being out in the woods and just hanging out in nature.
00:21:37Hmm.
00:21:38Are you an outdoorsy guy?
00:21:39Well, I wouldn't say so, I guess.
00:21:42No?
00:21:43Uh...
00:21:43No, you stay inside?
00:21:44I stay in? Is that what you said?
00:21:46Yeah.
00:21:47If I'm not outside, then what?
00:21:49I mean...
00:21:49Well, yeah, then I'm inside.
00:21:51No, but I like ball games and stuff like that.
00:21:54Oh, yeah?
00:21:55A lot of football.
00:21:56Yeah?
00:21:57I used to play it, but I don't anymore.
00:21:59But I like to watch a lot of football.
00:22:01Oh, yeah.
00:22:02Cool.
00:22:02And I love board games.
00:22:04Oh, me too.
00:22:05Quiz games, cards, quizzes and stuff.
00:22:08That's great.
00:22:09So do I.
00:22:10You're joking.
00:22:11No.
00:22:12Okay, your star's getting bigger.
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:16What else?
00:22:17What do you like doing?
00:22:18I like working out.
00:22:19I'm doing a lot of running right now.
00:22:21So, like, on the weekend, I usually try to go on a long run.
00:22:25Okay.
00:22:26Yeah.
00:22:27What...
00:22:27But do you like red wine?
00:22:30Do I like red wine, please?
00:22:32Isn't that the best thing ever?
00:22:34Okay, good.
00:22:34That's fucking nice.
00:22:36You found the right place.
00:22:39I like talking to you.
00:22:41Well, yeah, me too.
00:22:42You have a really nice...
00:22:43I've given you a big star.
00:22:45Oh, you have now?
00:22:46Oh, yeah.
00:22:47Okay, I'll give you one, too.
00:22:49My strategy is just to say yes.
00:22:51Say yes, yes, yes.
00:22:53I think I've been standing in my own way without knowing it.
00:22:57I've never really had a real relationship.
00:23:00Nobody that I would call my boyfriend or anything.
00:23:03What the hell?
00:23:05The idea that I could be married in a month is just wild.
00:23:09But, yeah, you should just be saying yes to life.
00:23:12So, of course, we will be.
00:23:15This is going good.
00:23:16It's happening now.
00:23:17Good luck.
00:23:18Number three.
00:23:19Ah, there it is.
00:23:22I became a Christian a few years ago.
00:23:24So, I said a prayer where I asked,
00:23:26God, I can't be going out and looking for a woman.
00:23:28So, if I'm meant to be with someone,
00:23:31please put me in a position where I can meet them.
00:23:34Now I'm here.
00:23:36That's the long and the short of it.
00:23:38Everyone in Stockholm that I hang with are Christians.
00:23:40I make a real effort to go to church every Sunday.
00:23:44Yeah?
00:23:44What do you think about that?
00:23:47How do you feel about me not coming with you?
00:23:49Yeah.
00:23:50Are you really religious then?
00:23:53I mean...
00:23:54Yeah.
00:23:56Oh.
00:23:57I've been celibate for three years.
00:23:59What?
00:24:00I was thinking that I wouldn't have sex before I was married.
00:24:04For real?
00:24:05Well, I'd never be able to sleep around.
00:24:07That's something I don't get in our society today.
00:24:10Yeah?
00:24:10Well, that people just sleep with each other, no matter how messy it gets.
00:24:14I think people can do whatever they want.
00:24:16The way I see it, it could be harmful.
00:24:19It's one of the seven deadly sins for a really good reason.
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:23Yeah.
00:24:24Thank you so much for this date.
00:24:25Yeah, same to you.
00:24:28You and I have good vibes, and I could see you being a really good friend.
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:32But I'm not quite sure it could be more than that.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:36Uh, okay.
00:24:37And I hope you find what you're looking for.
00:24:40Yeah, thanks.
00:24:41Bye.
00:24:42Bye.
00:24:45Ay yi yi.
00:24:47It's fine if I'm friends with everybody, but that's not realistic if I'm trying to have
00:24:51a relationship with somebody.
00:24:52I hope through all of this that I find the woman who is made for me.
00:24:57And I do hope there's one that is.
00:24:58Where do you live?
00:25:00Uh, I moved to Stockholm because I wanted to live near family.
00:25:04Yeah?
00:25:04Nice.
00:25:05Family is something I think you should, uh, hold close.
00:25:09Yeah.
00:25:10I would say, I mean, I'm a Christian.
00:25:14I'm a Christian too.
00:25:16Mm.
00:25:16Mm.
00:25:22That got, it got kind of awkward because it was feeling so good.
00:25:26I know.
00:25:26No, I felt comfortable too.
00:25:28Yeah, I was comfortable too, so it didn't really matter.
00:25:30Yeah, exactly.
00:25:35I usually fall, for the most part, for someone's personality.
00:25:41I hope I meet someone that matches my energy.
00:25:44Someone that walks around with a big smile like me.
00:25:47And who appreciates life no matter what.
00:25:50I try not to take life so seriously anymore.
00:25:53It can be frustrating sometimes, and sometimes it's exciting, and sometimes it's too much.
00:25:58I know firsthand that I can be all of that.
00:26:06Hello, hello.
00:26:07Holy crap.
00:26:08You scared me.
00:26:09Oh, sorry.
00:26:11I don't usually.
00:26:14I'm so glad you're coming in with energy.
00:26:16Don't get me wrong.
00:26:17It sounded a little aggressive when you said it.
00:26:20If my hello, hello is aggressive, I apologize.
00:26:22No.
00:26:23Who am I talking to?
00:26:25My name is Lars Eric.
00:26:27Lars Eric.
00:26:28May I ask your name?
00:26:29My name is Ronia.
00:26:31Where do you live?
00:26:32I live in Stockholm.
00:26:34And you?
00:26:34I'm in Stockholm too.
00:26:36Are you born and raised in Stockholm?
00:26:39I'm shocked you can't tell I'm from Dalarna.
00:26:41Ah.
00:26:44I should have known.
00:26:46I've played games with folks from there.
00:26:48Really?
00:26:49What kind?
00:26:50Yeah, it's...
00:26:52I don't want to say computer games.
00:26:55I see.
00:26:56So you're a computer nerd.
00:26:57No, not now.
00:26:58That was back in the day.
00:27:00Back in the day?
00:27:01Two months ago?
00:27:02Yeah.
00:27:04It's a sweaty computer nerd.
00:27:06This was a nice date.
00:27:07Next.
00:27:10But what do you do when you're not at a LAN party?
00:27:13When I'm not at a LAN party, I drink Coke.
00:27:15Definitely not Coke Zero.
00:27:17Gotta be regular Coke too.
00:27:18No, no, no.
00:27:20I have to watch my calories because of all the cheese curls.
00:27:27I have a very clear picture in front of me now.
00:27:30And I'm Lars Eric on top of that.
00:27:31That doesn't help.
00:27:32It doesn't help at all.
00:27:36I'm like LAN parties, cheese curls.
00:27:38Perfect.
00:27:39We haven't got anything serious out of this date.
00:27:46That was so, it was so magical.
00:27:49I started saying that I go to LAN parties and eat cheese curls and drink Coke and eat crisp curls.
00:27:56Crisp curls?
00:27:57Yeah, yeah, you know crisp curls.
00:27:58You're high on something else now.
00:27:59I know.
00:27:59Hell yeah.
00:28:00That was a blast.
00:28:02I'm here because for a long time now, I've been missing that last piece in my life.
00:28:07And that's him.
00:28:11That was so damn funny.
00:28:13I have everything else.
00:28:14The only thing missing in my life is that real special and safe feeling of it's the two of us.
00:28:22And we support each other 100%.
00:28:25I've missed that.
00:28:26Yeah, but now, now my smile is ear to ear.
00:28:31Oh, that's amazing.
00:28:33Imagine if one of them.
00:28:34Is your husband?
00:28:35Yeah.
00:28:35That's crazy.
00:28:39Thanks, guys.
00:28:41Again tomorrow.
00:28:42Damn it.
00:28:43I lost my pen.
00:28:44It's on the table.
00:28:45Yeah.
00:28:46Uh, no, that was a knife.
00:28:53Good day.
00:28:55Good morning.
00:28:56Oh, wow.
00:28:57Look how nice.
00:28:58Look at that.
00:28:59Damn.
00:28:59Cheers, girls.
00:29:00Cheers.
00:29:02Good luck.
00:29:04It wouldn't be fun if it was tequila.
00:29:08I'll do a magic trick for you, Hytham.
00:29:10Here you go.
00:29:11Okay.
00:29:12Choose any color you want.
00:29:13Don't show me.
00:29:14Then close the box and give it to me.
00:29:16There you go.
00:29:17Put it in my hand.
00:29:18You thought about it?
00:29:20Yes.
00:29:20I think you have thought of a color that has something to do with what we're doing here.
00:29:26Love.
00:29:26Can you do magic?
00:29:27Of course I can.
00:29:30Red.
00:29:33How did you know, you bastard?
00:29:39Are you ready for the rest of these, guys?
00:29:42Cheers, then.
00:29:43Good luck.
00:29:44I'm not.
00:29:46Yeah, good luck yourself, man.
00:29:50Yeah, what a hell of an emotional thing this is.
00:29:53What a journey.
00:29:54Good luck.
00:29:55This is me.
00:29:56Okay, good luck.
00:29:57Thanks.
00:29:57I have found my top one, top two, and top three.
00:30:02Problem is, it's the same person.
00:30:04Her name is Ellen.
00:30:05Is it Ellen?
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:06It is.
00:30:08Ellen, my lady.
00:30:10I know her name, where she lives, and what she does, and that was enough.
00:30:14I didn't think you could have chemistry with only your voice.
00:30:18I hope we feel the same.
00:30:20I kind of feel creepy now, but you were the one that made the best impression on me.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:25You just did.
00:30:26There's something about you.
00:30:28If I could put a finger on it, I'd point it out right now.
00:30:31But I can't put my finger on it.
00:30:34No, that...
00:30:34And that's what I like about you.
00:30:35How interesting.
00:30:36But now I'd like to hear why you wanted to see me again.
00:30:39Yeah, I feel that we...
00:30:40Well, I'll say this.
00:30:41I've always wanted somebody I could laugh with.
00:30:44Mm.
00:30:44And I do feel like we have a lot of fun.
00:30:46Yes.
00:30:47But then at the same time, I still feel very curious that I'd like to keep digging a little deeper.
00:30:52Mm.
00:30:52I mean, you come across as a very happy guy.
00:30:56You seem positive.
00:30:57And you're exuberant, you know?
00:30:59Like, you have a great main character energy.
00:31:02Yeah.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:03That's nice.
00:31:04So, I want to know how you came to be like that.
00:31:07How I became who I am today?
00:31:09Yeah.
00:31:10Yeah, I don't know.
00:31:11I've been working in sales since 14, you know?
00:31:14Yeah, interesting.
00:31:15And everyone says to me, Danny, you could sell sand in the Sahara.
00:31:19As soon as I open my mouth, people listen.
00:31:23Mm.
00:31:23Um, I suppose that's what made me who I am.
00:31:26That's why people call saying, we're getting married and you're Toastmaster.
00:31:30I like playing that role.
00:31:31It's fun and I enjoy making people happy.
00:31:34Yeah.
00:31:34And making people laugh.
00:31:35Mm.
00:31:35I can totally see that with you.
00:31:37So, if you're asking what's my strength, that's it.
00:31:42Mm.
00:31:42What's your strength?
00:31:42I'm very caring and I'm good at it.
00:31:45I love that part of myself.
00:31:47I genuinely do.
00:31:47It makes me happy to see others happy.
00:31:50And I suppose that's why I'm so committed to children's rights, human rights, and social
00:31:57justice.
00:31:57Mm.
00:31:58Those are important to me.
00:32:00That's nice.
00:32:01Are there things you really care about?
00:32:03Let's see, things that I really care about would be, I mean, well, I think that common
00:32:09sense is a big thing for me.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:11To know what is right and wrong.
00:32:13Mm.
00:32:14Like, when you were a kid, something like, no, don't pour milk on the carpet, that's wrong.
00:32:19Um, that was a horrible answer, Ellen.
00:32:22But I do mean what I said, because I'm not all that into politics.
00:32:26No.
00:32:26I don't know anything about religion.
00:32:28Common sense.
00:32:29Mm.
00:32:29That's what I care about.
00:32:31That's it.
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:33Of course.
00:32:34And that's a reasonable expectation to have on people, to have common sense.
00:32:41Absolutely.
00:32:41Well, okay.
00:32:42So we're trying to dig deeper with each other.
00:32:44Yes.
00:32:44And we are.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:45Slowly but surely, we're getting there.
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:48But I do want to say that I think you really should go back and think a little bit on
00:32:54how
00:32:54you became who you are and what has shaped you.
00:32:57Yeah.
00:32:57Because I feel like you're holding back a little.
00:33:00I don't think I am.
00:33:01No?
00:33:02But I could maybe open up a little more.
00:33:04Yeah, I think so.
00:33:05You know?
00:33:05Because I'm so very much ready for this.
00:33:07Mm.
00:33:07I really hope we see each other again.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:10And then I will be the absolute deepest version of myself.
00:33:13Then you can grade that.
00:33:15Yeah, good.
00:33:23I already know that Daniel is a very lovely, bubbly, and funny person.
00:33:28There's chemistry there because I can feel it in my chest.
00:33:32We still have to get to know each other better.
00:33:34And so now we have those little, those three little dots to be continued.
00:33:43We do have time to explore.
00:33:45And I think it's also healthy for me to practice really trying to feel what feels good and reflect
00:33:51on that.
00:33:53Hello?
00:33:54Hello.
00:33:55Hi.
00:33:56Who's there?
00:33:57It's Ellen.
00:34:00Hi, Ellen.
00:34:01Hi, Fabian.
00:34:02How are you?
00:34:03It's good.
00:34:04It's good.
00:34:04That's nice.
00:34:05You?
00:34:06Yeah, I'm good.
00:34:07I'm going to drink some water.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:09It's been a long day.
00:34:11Yeah.
00:34:11Oh, let's see.
00:34:12I'm just sitting down here now.
00:34:14I'll do the same then.
00:34:15Well, yeah, please do.
00:34:17I think you should.
00:34:19Did you get any sleep?
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22Yeah?
00:34:23That's good.
00:34:24It's nice to hear your voice again.
00:34:26Oh, thank you very much.
00:34:29That's nice of you.
00:34:30Mm.
00:34:30But hey, I was hoping to ask what things in your life do you think have shaped you?
00:34:38Well, this is something, but it's kind of hard.
00:34:42Um, but it happened in Buenos Aires.
00:34:45Yeah.
00:34:46And I lost my parents in an accident when I was 18.
00:34:51Oh, wow.
00:34:53That was really rough.
00:34:54But, yeah, I lost my mom and dad, and that was very traumatic.
00:35:01Yeah.
00:35:02And it was tough to stay in Argentina by myself.
00:35:08I was a teenager, so it wasn't easy.
00:35:13I miss my dad so much.
00:35:16I still would look around the streets to see if I would see him.
00:35:20Or when I was shopping around, buying my first car, oh, I'll call dad and ask him about this.
00:35:25And then, oh, right.
00:35:26It took me a long time to realize they were gone.
00:35:29And so I decided to take my backpack and travel around the world.
00:35:35Mm.
00:35:36And I tried to take all my feelings of frustration and loneliness and try to do something good, directed at
00:35:46something that wasn't just good for me, but for others, too.
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:50I went to Mexico first.
00:35:51I went to help with a natural disaster that had happened there in the emergency response unit.
00:36:00And then I did that in Peru and in Chile.
00:36:03Oh, that's so nice.
00:36:05I tried to fill up all that emptiness with love.
00:36:09And I feel that when I give, I get a lot back.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:15So.
00:36:16Sorry, I'm so, I'm just so moved by that.
00:36:19I'm sorry.
00:36:20No, you don't need to, my God.
00:36:22I just think it's so wonderful to be able to go through something that's so difficult and then be able
00:36:29to, to turn it into tenderness and warmth.
00:36:33Yes, but it's, thank you.
00:36:36You should be very proud of how you have handled your, your story, so to speak.
00:36:42You're so sweet.
00:36:43I feel really inspired.
00:36:44I think it's awesome when people go through such tough stuff and then choose to become a better person because
00:36:51of it.
00:36:52It was brave of you to share that.
00:36:54And I apologize because I'm just sitting here sniffling.
00:36:57No, no.
00:36:58I didn't mean to.
00:36:59It feels so good talking to you, so I'm just following my feelings, saying that it feels like I can
00:37:07talk with you about whatever.
00:37:09I hope we get to talk again.
00:37:10Me too.
00:37:11Yeah, and I won't have such a runny nose.
00:37:17Oh.
00:37:20I just opened up and said everything.
00:37:23And she just respected that.
00:37:25And she even said she was inspired by me.
00:37:31I can't believe it.
00:37:34The feelings I'm having for Ellen are coming so easily.
00:37:37She really takes me in, and that lets me open up and be myself in all the ways that I
00:37:44am.
00:37:45And that's something I've been looking for my entire life.
00:37:51It's just so crazy.
00:38:00I feel like this date just changed a lot.
00:38:03This last date has raised the bar for me.
00:38:06My expectations have definitely been raised.
00:38:08Give him a hug.
00:38:09Yeah.
00:38:10That's great.
00:38:11Nice, Fabian.
00:38:12I just can't believe it.
00:38:17So, can I know yours?
00:38:19Yes, Ellen.
00:38:20Oh.
00:38:21She's my number one.
00:38:24Do we have time to go to the bathroom?
00:38:29Ah, shit.
00:38:35I have insider information.
00:38:37Yes?
00:38:38Okay, then.
00:38:39Not that I think you need to be worried, but...
00:38:42Fabian?
00:38:43Fabian?
00:38:44Ellen?
00:38:45Mm.
00:38:45His top choice.
00:38:47Okay.
00:38:48She's definitely been my number one.
00:38:54It's starting to get real now.
00:38:57I decided to end things with Joanna, because she basically said that a lot of the guys might
00:39:03not choose her because she lives in Sydney.
00:39:08Uh-huh.
00:39:09I feel kind of guilty about it now because I didn't give her a chance.
00:39:14Mm-hmm.
00:39:17Bye.
00:39:19Okay, where are you going?
00:39:20I'm going to seven.
00:39:21Oh, really?
00:39:22I'm going to eight.
00:39:23Oh, you are?
00:39:23Are we neighbors?
00:39:25I've thought about it, and I totally understand that it might be a problem or could be stressful
00:39:30for them that I live in Sydney right now.
00:39:32And I think that I've been clear about, I mean, that I'm ready to move back here and
00:39:38start a family.
00:39:39So I don't think it should be seen as an actual problem, because it's not a problem for me.
00:39:44There are so many feelings right now.
00:39:46Mm.
00:39:47About what?
00:39:48About the fact that I live in Sydney.
00:39:52Most people know that you're fine moving, right?
00:39:54Yeah, I'm just hoping that I got that part across clearly.
00:39:58I think you were clear to me about that.
00:40:00That's good.
00:40:00Yeah, for sure.
00:40:01Then I can let that go.
00:40:03With me, you can.
00:40:04Are there things you miss about Sweden?
00:40:06I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic.
00:40:09Mm.
00:40:09My mom has been together with her husband for 30 years.
00:40:13Mm.
00:40:13Till this day, they're still like they just fell in love.
00:40:16That's sweet.
00:40:17I hear how they talk to each other with so much respect.
00:40:21It's important to me to have that, too.
00:40:23To be very honest about what your feelings, thoughts, and opinions are.
00:40:27Yeah, that's definitely what I want, too.
00:40:30Mm-hmm.
00:40:30And you're one of my favorites.
00:40:32Okay.
00:40:32I think it's because you're really easy to talk to.
00:40:35Huh.
00:40:36Is that because I'm so quiet?
00:40:38No.
00:40:39I just feel like you have a really great energy.
00:40:42Well, I'm really happy to hear that.
00:40:44That's good.
00:40:44I've been in my head thinking, oh, I need to let loose a little bit.
00:40:48There's a goofy side of me that I don't think comes out very much.
00:40:52But you can't ever really show every side of yourself at once.
00:40:56No.
00:40:56I mean, like, I'm super clumsy.
00:40:58So I fall over a lot.
00:41:00I walk into doors.
00:41:01I fall over.
00:41:02I've literally left face prints on doors because my...
00:41:07I remember this one party I was at.
00:41:09I walked out on the terrace, didn't know they closed the door behind me,
00:41:14realized I had forgotten something, and just ran back into the door.
00:41:19So then I kind of had to peel myself off.
00:41:23But my face was still stuck to the glass.
00:41:30I was like, God, this is embarrassing.
00:41:34Roll with the punches when you're clumsy.
00:41:36That's it, yeah?
00:41:38I'll stick you back together.
00:41:41Oh, yeah.
00:41:41I totally need somebody like you.
00:41:44I'd be like, take me to Ibrahim.
00:41:48Holy baby, Lana.
00:41:50Hey, I'm going to put down that I'd like to see you again.
00:41:52I hope you do, so we can laugh again.
00:41:57If I can laugh with somebody like that every day of my life, I'll live until I'm 142.
00:42:03My whole life's ahead of me.
00:42:08I've been skeptical about this experiment.
00:42:11Did wonder how the hell we were going to hit it off with somebody.
00:42:14But it works.
00:42:16Feels like it does.
00:42:17There are definitely some women here that have what I'm looking for.
00:42:21It's Ibrahim.
00:42:22I knew it, but you're eBay in my notes.
00:42:25You have a nickname?
00:42:26Some of my friends call me Annie.
00:42:29Yeah, that's pretty.
00:42:30What didn't we have time for yesterday?
00:42:33Uh, other than music, are there other things that you like to do?
00:42:38I'm a big fan of doing stuff at home.
00:42:41Sometimes, like, I build custom stuff.
00:42:45I repot all my plants.
00:42:46What kind of custom build?
00:42:48I've got a custom-built bookshelf with my TV in it.
00:42:51That you built?
00:42:52Yeah.
00:42:52No way.
00:42:54And also, I've been doing a little bit of boxing.
00:42:58For real?
00:42:59You mean real boxing?
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01Oh.
00:43:02Yeah, nice.
00:43:03But also, like, I decided I wanted to try pole dance.
00:43:07So I also thought I should try that at the beginning of the year, too.
00:43:12So...
00:43:13Oh.
00:43:14But I'm like this.
00:43:15I'm always doing things like that.
00:43:17But that's what I've been looking for.
00:43:19I mean...
00:43:19You want to do things?
00:43:20I definitely want to be doing things.
00:43:22And I do love trying all kinds of new things, too.
00:43:25I love it.
00:43:26I never want to feel like I'm done learning or be satisfied.
00:43:29No.
00:43:29I just want to keep growing and learning, you know?
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:33That's great.
00:43:34Can you tell me more things I don't know about you?
00:43:37Okay.
00:43:38Yeah?
00:43:38Did I mention to you that I've co-authored an article together with a Nobel Prize winner?
00:43:44Oh, my God.
00:43:45That is so cool.
00:43:47Yeah.
00:43:47It's pretty cool.
00:43:48I've also lived in South America and lived in New York.
00:43:51Oh, okay.
00:43:52I play basketball.
00:43:54I do furniture carpentry, and I think I'm pretty good at it.
00:43:57Yeah.
00:43:58I'd love to hammer and sand with you, but you'd probably have to take the lead.
00:44:03Absolutely.
00:44:03I mean, I think you're better than me at that.
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:06I don't know about that.
00:44:08Probably.
00:44:09Probably.
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:12Oh, I like that.
00:44:13This is good stuff.
00:44:15It is.
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:16It seems like we agree on a lot of stuff.
00:44:19God.
00:44:20Yeah.
00:44:22But, I mean, I've got a whole lot of bad sides to me, too, I guess, so...
00:44:26We all do.
00:44:27Yeah, true.
00:44:27I can be ridiculously stubborn.
00:44:29Me, too.
00:44:31What?
00:44:31We agree on that, too?
00:44:34Oh, but who are you?
00:44:37You're my dream girl.
00:44:38No, stop it.
00:44:38I'm not joking.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:43But, like...
00:44:45Tell me.
00:44:47There's a lot more I want to know about you, but...
00:44:50Yeah, if it doesn't feel like this, I don't want to date anybody else.
00:44:56Somehow, it feels pretty obvious to me.
00:44:59Mm-hmm.
00:45:00Not gonna be satisfied with anything less.
00:45:05Uh, I'm still dating a few people.
00:45:07Mm-hmm.
00:45:08Um, but I'm having an exceptional time here.
00:45:13Time here?
00:45:14Really?
00:45:14I think you're very nice in every way.
00:45:17Thanks.
00:45:17You are, too.
00:45:18I'm also really enjoying just being in this field.
00:45:21Yeah, me, too.
00:45:22Just lying here and smiling.
00:45:23It's crazy.
00:45:24Hey, have a fabulous day.
00:45:26Same to you.
00:45:27Have a good day.
00:45:28Bye.
00:45:34Ibrahim, Ibrahim Mobic, how are you?
00:45:36You in love?
00:45:37I'm in love.
00:45:38Are you now?
00:45:38I am.
00:45:40It's crazy that you can feel such an attraction to someone's personality like this.
00:45:46But, I mean, my dad told me to follow my brain, not my heart, but...
00:45:51I don't know.
00:46:00I'm so hot.
00:46:02I love it when you come back, because every time you do, you're like this.
00:46:05Aww.
00:46:06My God.
00:46:08Like you're under a spell.
00:46:09But it's still so early.
00:46:11Only day two.
00:46:12Come on.
00:46:13Yeah.
00:46:13I mean...
00:46:14Think of it like this.
00:46:15Just keep on dating?
00:46:16Yeah, just keep going.
00:46:17Don't overthink it.
00:46:18Just be present.
00:46:19Whatever happens...
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:21Happens.
00:46:22This experiment does get kind of scary and confusing.
00:46:26So, it's important to keep some hope alive.
00:46:29Some faith, as I say.
00:46:31It'll be okay.
00:46:42I believe in God.
00:46:51There's a few things that you have to be compatible with to be able to manage a family life together.
00:47:00And I think there is only one man on the other side of the wall that I'm the most compatible
00:47:05with here.
00:47:06I'm a very moral person.
00:47:10Like...
00:47:10What's the Bible say?
00:47:12How to treat each other?
00:47:13Things like that.
00:47:14Yes.
00:47:15That's a pretty big part of what I'm looking for.
00:47:17Yeah?
00:47:18Those values that you said.
00:47:20That's nice.
00:47:21Mm-hmm.
00:47:22Yeah.
00:47:23I was raised in a very Christian home.
00:47:25Mm-hmm.
00:47:26But, uh, my mother's passing made me...
00:47:29Brought you closer?
00:47:30Yeah.
00:47:30Mm-hmm.
00:47:31Uh, she died three years ago.
00:47:33Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:35Yeah.
00:47:35And she was...
00:47:36Until she died, she was...
00:47:38Mm-hmm.
00:47:39She didn't complain at all.
00:47:40You could see how...
00:47:41Yeah.
00:47:42How painful it was for her.
00:47:43Mm-hmm.
00:47:45It's tough to see someone close go through something and you can't even take the pain away from them.
00:47:50No, exactly.
00:47:51I can relate to that a little bit.
00:47:53Yeah.
00:47:54There was this time when my brother got sick.
00:47:56Um, a few years ago.
00:47:58And I had to be his caretaker.
00:48:00So I was the one that was there for him and took him to the hospital.
00:48:04And also to his treatments.
00:48:07And I tried my best to make him feel better.
00:48:10You were there at his darkest time then, it sounds like.
00:48:13Exactly.
00:48:13And that was when I got closer to God.
00:48:15Yeah.
00:48:16And I just felt like someone has to take this.
00:48:19It's too heavy for me to carry alone.
00:48:21Yeah.
00:48:21Yeah, so it helped me during that time.
00:48:23Mm-hmm.
00:48:23A lot.
00:48:25Um, so I hear what you're saying.
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:29Um, I don't usually open up just like that.
00:48:33Yeah.
00:48:34Um, so, yeah, I want you to know that I like talking to you.
00:48:40It's comfortable.
00:48:41Yeah.
00:48:42And being here with you is like being at home.
00:48:46Yes, I feel the same way.
00:48:48Mm, cool.
00:48:50I mean...
00:48:54I'm just smiling over here.
00:48:55Me too.
00:48:58This is...
00:49:01This is crazy.
00:49:03See you tomorrow.
00:49:04See you.
00:49:05I can't wait.
00:49:06Me neither.
00:49:12It's weird to be dating again, I gotta say.
00:49:14A lot's happened in a short amount of time.
00:49:18I'm feeling things that I haven't felt in a long time.
00:49:23I clicked with the net.
00:49:25Amazing person.
00:49:27Similar values.
00:49:28It's good.
00:49:29Same faith.
00:49:31Promising.
00:49:34Good luck.
00:49:38Rania is another person that I'm really into.
00:49:41She's very easy to talk to, and there's lots of laughs.
00:49:44But I haven't told her I'm a Christian.
00:49:47That worries me.
00:49:49I think my faith's a wonderful thing, but I'm actually a pretty wonderful person, too.
00:49:53So it would be really great not to be cast out because of it.
00:49:57Good luck.
00:49:58Have fun.
00:50:01Hello, hello.
00:50:02Hello, hello.
00:50:05This is the sweetest thing I've seen so far.
00:50:08The LAN party guy who eats cheese curls and drinks Coca-Cola.
00:50:12Yeah.
00:50:13Perfect.
00:50:14How are you?
00:50:15I'm good.
00:50:17Better hanging with you.
00:50:19Well, I'm happy to hear that.
00:50:20Let's see if we've got any deal breakers, then.
00:50:24Let's do that.
00:50:25So is there something really out there that...
00:50:28I mean, the only thing I...
00:50:31I don't know if I mentioned it.
00:50:36I am a person of faith, so I want a very stable family, a husband and wife.
00:50:44And I haven't been intimate with anybody in years.
00:50:49Because I think your body is the most sacred thing there is.
00:50:53So we shouldn't give that away too freely.
00:50:59This feels like...
00:51:01How do you feel?
00:51:02Do you not care how people treat their bodies and sex?
00:51:07I really don't care what other people choose to do.
00:51:10And I suppose that's what I'm thinking about.
00:51:14Because if you judge people for choosing how they want to live regarding sex,
00:51:20we're very different that way, and I wanted to say so.
00:51:23I don't judge anyone for how they live their lives.
00:51:26Absolutely not.
00:51:27And I'm not religious.
00:51:29It's important to me to be with somebody that,
00:51:32aside from your beliefs and how you want to live,
00:51:35that you have an open mind when it comes to other people.
00:51:38Yeah.
00:51:39Yeah.
00:51:40I do.
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:41I accept everyone for who they are.
00:51:43A good example is one of my best friends is a gay man,
00:51:48and he only talks about sex when we hang out.
00:51:51I still want to understand the world.
00:51:53Yeah.
00:51:54I read a lot of different religions, different philosophies.
00:51:58I became a Christian when my mom passed.
00:52:01She was a Christian her whole life, and then...
00:52:07Sorry, I got quiet.
00:52:09I'm just...
00:52:09No.
00:52:11She passed away three years ago?
00:52:13I'm so sorry to hear that.
00:52:17It's just that whenever I open up to somebody that I'm interested in,
00:52:24I get more emotional than I would saying it in passing.
00:52:28This is more intimate.
00:52:28It makes sense.
00:52:31Yeah.
00:52:32Um...
00:52:33And I want you to know that if we decide to continue meeting...
00:52:36...and keep going,
00:52:38I really want to know everything.
00:52:40It's important you know that you can feel understood by me, too.
00:52:44Yeah.
00:52:44Because my mother passed away five years ago now, in November.
00:52:50So I know what it feels like to lose someone that you've loved so completely,
00:52:55and what it does to you, and the journey you have to go through.
00:52:59I also needed a break from everything for a while, because I felt I had lost myself.
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:05So I want you to understand that even though your mom had her path and my mom had hers...
00:53:11Yeah.
00:53:12It sounds like we both loved our mothers very much.
00:53:15For me, it was like my mom was the only woman who loved me unconditionally.
00:53:22I mean, whatever I did, she'd say, I love you, son.
00:53:26As a mother, she did the best thing ever.
00:53:33But...
00:53:35God, I mean, I...
00:53:38I feel very emotional.
00:53:40It's really special.
00:53:41It's important that we're talking about this,
00:53:43to be allowed to be sensitive and soft and vulnerable, too.
00:53:48I don't want this state of land
00:53:54These streets, they make me feel alive
00:53:58For the first time in a very long time, I'm left speechless.
00:54:02And that's so cool.
00:54:06Wow.
00:54:08He's amazing.
00:54:12He's the one I've been laughing with this whole time.
00:54:15And then he was also able to show me a lot of his softer side.
00:54:19He said he'd lost his mom, too.
00:54:22No.
00:54:23Yeah.
00:54:24And God, I'm getting sad again.
00:54:27And I felt like, wow, now here's somebody that really gets me.
00:54:32Tell me who it is.
00:54:33Okay.
00:54:34Okay.
00:54:35Lars Eric.
00:54:37What?
00:54:38No, our guys are different guys.
00:54:40Yeah, that was...
00:54:42Damn, that's good.
00:54:51From a very young age, I've always been the kind of girl that wanted family and kids early.
00:54:58That didn't happen.
00:55:00That's the only thing I feel is missing in my life.
00:55:03So I'm on here to find the one.
00:55:08How are you feeling?
00:55:11When I think about Aaron, the chemistry's there and my gut feels good.
00:55:15Good luck, boys.
00:55:16He feels exciting.
00:55:20I love cuddling.
00:55:21You?
00:55:22Yeah, I mean, yeah.
00:55:24If you're still in bed when I get up in the morning, I will come back to kiss you goodbye.
00:55:29You can always kiss me goodbye.
00:55:31Yeah, I mean, I will be kissing you goodbye every day.
00:55:34And I'll always kiss you goodbye before I leave.
00:55:37And, well, if I have a lot of extra time that day, I will get into bed for a little
00:55:41bit before I have to leave and cuddle you and kiss you.
00:55:45That's gonna be tricky.
00:55:46Stop it.
00:55:47Then you'll have to shower again after that.
00:55:50What?
00:55:51Oh, God.
00:55:52What did you say?
00:55:56Now I've got a certain image in my head.
00:55:59Oh, you do?
00:55:59Yeah.
00:56:01It sounds nice.
00:56:05Can I ask you something?
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:08I just want to be super clear about what I feel that I need from a partner.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:15I'm still establishing myself, the business I have now.
00:56:19Mm-hmm.
00:56:20But there's parts that are very much up in the air, and it's not a sure thing yet.
00:56:26So, because of that, I feel like I need somebody that can be supportive.
00:56:31Yeah.
00:56:32And that is, for me, that means, are you open to possibly, at some point, living abroad in order to
00:56:38manage some of it?
00:56:40Mm.
00:56:44You mean for short periods?
00:56:47Or long?
00:56:48Or long?
00:56:49Long periods.
00:56:50Maybe.
00:56:50I see.
00:56:55Well...
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:59Sure, I would be willing to do that.
00:57:01No problem.
00:57:02Yeah?
00:57:03No.
00:57:03I mean, what I really want is that we motivate each other, that we prioritize enjoying life together, and that
00:57:13we have fun together.
00:57:15I love that you say that.
00:57:17Yeah?
00:57:18Because that's so important.
00:57:21But I have a lot more to say.
00:57:23Hear it tomorrow?
00:57:24Yeah, I really hope so.
00:57:27Or are you unsure?
00:57:28No, that's up to you.
00:57:30Why?
00:57:30You know I want to see you.
00:57:32But you know I want to see you, too.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:35Talk tomorrow.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:37Okay, bye.
00:57:38Bye.
00:57:38With the power of us.
00:57:42I can't believe it.
00:57:43Oh.
00:57:44Oh, they're crazy.
00:57:47What's going on?
00:57:48Oh, shit.
00:57:49Okay, Don Juan.
00:57:52When I think about Aaron, there's chemistry and a really good gut feeling.
00:57:57He's warm and can give a lot of love.
00:57:59I will feel seen in this relationship.
00:58:01Feeling good?
00:58:02I'm tired now.
00:58:04He's in the middle of setting up his own business, and he doesn't know what that's going to look like
00:58:10down the line yet.
00:58:12And the person I want to leave this experiment with, I imagine would be somebody that's already got all that
00:58:21figured out.
00:58:22We'd move in and go for it.
00:58:24Just settle down and start a family.
00:58:26But I get the feeling that that might not be the case if I choose to continue with him.
00:58:33And that's scary.
00:58:35Mm.
00:58:36Because the chemistry's good.
00:58:38Uh.
00:58:41Who knows?
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:43I mean.
00:58:44Fuck.
00:58:48I think I'm done if it's not an easier one.
00:58:51What a mess.
00:58:52Ida.
00:58:52I want your right hand on yellow.
00:58:56Okay.
00:58:56Can you?
00:58:57Yes.
00:58:58Yes.
00:58:58No, I can't.
00:58:59No!
00:59:01Oh, but that still looks great, though.
00:59:05I just want a ten-hour date with my number one.
00:59:09Who is it, then?
00:59:11Aniela.
00:59:12I see.
00:59:14Pretty sure she likes me.
00:59:16She said it anyway.
00:59:17But I know she's got a few others, too.
00:59:20A few others?
00:59:22But it's still so early, so I get it.
00:59:24It's not that weird.
00:59:26I'm not into anybody else, really, so I'll just end it with them today.
00:59:30Maybe that's stupid.
00:59:32Who knows?
00:59:32But right now, I don't see myself caring more for anybody.
00:59:36You know?
00:59:38Do you feel like you have any more clarity on where you stand with anybody?
00:59:43No.
00:59:43No?
00:59:45It's still so early.
00:59:46It's so early, and I think I'm still having fun.
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:51I've had a number one the whole time.
00:59:53We've laughed until I cried.
00:59:55He's so funny.
00:59:57Get your man and get your ass home, so we can hang out.
00:59:59Right?
01:00:00That'd be so nice.
01:00:01Yes, nice.
01:00:02Of course we should hang out.
01:00:03Of course we should hang out.
01:00:04Yes, damn it.
01:00:05Come home, girl.
01:00:09I mean, I feel excited.
01:00:11I was a little worried at first.
01:00:14Can I feel through a wall?
01:00:16But now it's feeling like I probably can.
01:00:19And there's somebody that's really standing out.
01:00:27And I'm feeling like I want to dig a little deeper emotionally on this next day and see what's there.
01:00:36This is such a crazy big chance for me to find the love of my life.
01:00:42And I will try my best to be brave and open up.
01:00:49Hello.
01:00:50Hey.
01:00:50Hey.
01:00:51A favorite on the other side.
01:00:55I'm glad we're here so we can be a little more serious than we were before.
01:00:59Yeah.
01:00:59I've had lots of fun with you.
01:01:01I haven't laughed more with anyone else.
01:01:04I love that you think I'm funny.
01:01:06I definitely do.
01:01:08And I had so much fun.
01:01:09We were really able to share a laugh.
01:01:12You did jump up to second place.
01:01:14Oh, yeah?
01:01:15Great to hear.
01:01:16But I still feel that the first place is pretty...
01:01:26I don't know what to say.
01:01:28No?
01:01:29But you were talking about your first place.
01:01:32Mm-hmm.
01:01:33Yeah.
01:01:34I think I'm feeling like my first place has become more obvious.
01:01:41And I'm sad about it because I had fun and enjoyed my time with you.
01:01:46It's really hard because, I don't know, because it's so early.
01:01:49And I told myself to be really open and...
01:01:53I don't know.
01:01:54I feel what I feel.
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:57But that's okay.
01:02:28You leaving?
01:02:30It's over.
01:02:31God damn it.
01:02:33Yeah.
01:02:34You can say whatever you want about the fact that we haven't known them very long, but it's
01:02:38just not about that.
01:02:39We've built this up and we have high hopes and expectations.
01:02:42Yeah, that's how I feel.
01:02:44And then it's sad that it didn't come true.
01:02:46I'm not sad about that I didn't.
01:02:49About that guy.
01:02:50No, exactly.
01:02:51I'm sad that...
01:02:53Your future plans?
01:02:54Yeah.
01:02:54I mean, I was ready to meet my man and get married in a few weeks and now that's gone.
01:03:00And now I'm going back to the dating circus that I hate.
01:03:05Oh, it's crazy.
01:03:07I'll put all my eggs in one basket and...
01:03:10I don't know.
01:03:12Could have dated her forever.
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:14Time just flew by when we meet.
01:03:16But do you regret what you did?
01:03:18I think I should have given her a chance.
01:03:21Yeah.
01:03:21I get it.
01:03:24I'm going to lie down for a bit.
01:03:25Go for it.
01:03:27I'll be here.
01:03:28Yeah, thanks, bro.
01:03:35I think it's going to be okay.
01:03:37I've got that feeling.
01:03:40Thanks.
01:03:41Fabian says all the right things.
01:03:44But then I've had this little feeling, this funny little feeling with Daniel.
01:03:49What sort of weird thing is that?
01:03:52Yeah.
01:03:53I'm excited.
01:03:54I gave him homework.
01:03:55We talk a lot about what does she need.
01:03:59Like, in a relationship.
01:04:01But that's not deep.
01:04:02What?
01:04:03I'm talking about the shit that makes you both weak.
01:04:06What?
01:04:07I can't make shit up that didn't happen.
01:04:08But that's what I mean.
01:04:09I'm sorry.
01:04:10I wish I'd been in a goddamn plane crash or something.
01:04:13Just have something to say.
01:04:14My God, how deep of you to tell me.
01:04:16Now I've got to make something up.
01:04:20Ellen.
01:04:21She says we have to get deep to know each other.
01:04:24But, uh, deep, what does that mean?
01:04:27I mean, some people open up.
01:04:30But I haven't been through any trauma.
01:04:32Am I not deep then?
01:04:34Because I can't talk about that kind of stuff.
01:04:36I can't look for something that's not there.
01:04:39We're sitting out there, the boys, and they're all saying,
01:04:42I got deep today with my date.
01:04:45Oh, just like that.
01:04:47And they've been telling me some sad story.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:51I don't have anything in my life that would be considered tragic.
01:04:55No, but I think that maybe that's a common misconception that many people have.
01:04:59That you need to have been through some deep trauma to be able to talk about meaningful things.
01:05:06But I'm more interested in learning how you became who you are.
01:05:10Exactly.
01:05:11And the feeling I get from you is that you have a very big heart in that chest of yours.
01:05:17But you might not find anything that I need help with.
01:05:21And I'm worried because maybe there's someone else here that makes you feel like.
01:05:25This person's actually, he needs me.
01:05:28I need someone to share my life with.
01:05:30Yes.
01:05:30But I don't need a therapist.
01:05:32I'm not looking for someone to help me.
01:05:35I want someone to live with.
01:05:36It wasn't my intention to make you feel like you were talking to a therapist.
01:05:41And if that's how you felt, I'm sorry.
01:05:43Let's put it this way, Ellen.
01:05:45Imagine I was in a car crash when I was a kid.
01:05:48And I lost my best friend.
01:05:51And I'm sitting here crying.
01:05:53Wouldn't you feel like we have a special relationship?
01:05:56Yes, of course.
01:05:57Yeah, so the guy that experienced a car crash is ahead of me.
01:06:01Just because I haven't been in a car crash.
01:06:04No, I really don't agree with that at all.
01:06:06No, but tell me.
01:06:07Tell me how I'm wrong.
01:06:09That trauma isn't everything that person is.
01:06:12It's a tiny part of a person.
01:06:13There are so many aspects of what makes you...
01:06:15But that wasn't...
01:06:16That didn't answer my question.
01:06:17The question I asked was,
01:06:20if I had cried and told you about this car crash when I was a kid,
01:06:23and then another guy came in and didn't cry or become emotional,
01:06:28wouldn't you feel you had a deeper connection with the first guy?
01:06:31I just want a yes or no answer.
01:06:33I can be a trigger.
01:06:37Standing on the line till the fire is out.
01:06:42I can be a trigger.
01:06:45Taking a fire for your hope on the ground.
01:06:50I can be a feeling.
01:06:53I will light the fire.
01:06:57I can be a trigger.
01:07:10I can be a trigger.
01:07:14I can be a trigger.
01:07:28you
01:08:11you
