00:01This is the first date's restaurant.
00:04And we're back.
00:05Finally.
00:07A place where anything...
00:10Garçon.
00:12Okay.
00:13Breathe.
00:14...is possible.
00:15You've piqued my interest.
00:17There's two of them.
00:18There's two of them.
00:19No, nobody's losing their cool.
00:21An instant attraction.
00:24Your gorgeous eyes.
00:25Stop it.
00:28A match made in heaven.
00:32I'm a big fan of your parents' work.
00:34Or a sudden shock to the senses.
00:37Ah, Scott!
00:39None of these daters know what to expect.
00:42I'm in a village all muff.
00:45What?
00:48What happens next...
00:53...is up to them.
00:54Cupid.
00:56Would you like to see each other again romantically?
00:59Yeah, no.
01:02Yeah, I would.
01:03I don't know about her.
01:10There were nights when the wind was so cold.
01:15Woo!
01:16Beneath her whimsical Canadian charm, the real Mariah is also charming and whimsical.
01:23Sometimes when people first meet me, they'll be like, oh, she's so fun and bubbly and she's a ditz.
01:29But like, no, I'm not.
01:31I typically go for personality, 70%, look, 30%.
01:35I still need a hottie.
01:37He has to describe himself as hot.
01:38Just to make sure he says, I am hot.
01:40Baby, baby, baby, when you touch me like this.
01:46And when you hold me like that, you won't storm away.
01:50I just think I'm fun.
01:51I have a lot to offer.
01:53And yeah, I think I'm going to have a great time with this.
02:01Hello.
02:04Your name, please?
02:05Mariah.
02:06Mariah?
02:06Yeah.
02:07American accent?
02:08Canadian.
02:09My apologies.
02:10It's so nice to meet you.
02:10I'm actually so excited to be here.
02:13You go, girl, you're ready.
02:14You look lovely.
02:15Yeah, thank you.
02:16It's always a bit nerve-wracking meeting new people and hoping that they like me and hoping
02:20I like them, so I'll be nervous, but I think it will be like good nerves.
02:25What brings you here?
02:27Well, love.
02:28But obviously that didn't work out, so here for the vibes now.
02:31I was in a four-year relationship with an Irish guy who I met in Toronto, moved here,
02:37and then two years after moving here, we broke up, and I have been here since.
02:42So all he was was a stepping stone to your real dream.
02:45You said that, not me.
02:48What type are you looking for?
02:51Really, like, fun person, outgoing, has a good head on his shoulders, confident in
02:55himself, has a good life, good friendships.
02:57Nice, yeah.
02:58Nice family, ambitious.
02:59You already did ten points.
03:00I think you should stop.
03:01Yeah.
03:02I can keep going.
03:03Okay.
03:04I'm going to draw my dream Irish man.
03:07We're giving him a bit of arm muscles, because I really like, like, a nice arm.
03:12I'm going to give him a pink shirt, because I think a man that wears pink is very confident.
03:16A lot of the Irish guys have, like, you know the Irish haircut, where it's like, shh,
03:21it's like shaved here, and then it goes up.
03:24This guy doesn't have that.
03:27Here we go.
03:28Meet Owen.
03:31Getting to know Ireland by myself, building my community.
03:35That's cute.
03:35It's actually been amazing.
03:36Yeah.
03:37You have to find your bearings all the time, which is tough.
03:40Yeah.
03:40So I found my bearings, and now I need to find my man.
03:45It's the one fault of mine, two for sure.
03:48You need to get ready now, go, can't go, but don't you, step on my blue sweatshirt.
03:53Thank you very much, is what Connor might say to his guitar.
03:59You got chopped up.
04:00Sometimes.
04:01With the guitar, that's a cheat code there, isn't it?
04:07I like a girl who knows what she wants, you know.
04:10Somebody who's confident and quite self-assured, and kind of has a bit of a presence.
04:15I think I'm very particular.
04:16I have to have, like, that spark.
04:19You look great, man.
04:20We're okay.
04:21We're kind of casual.
04:22Casual.
04:23This is who I am.
04:23Take it or leave it.
04:24What do you want?
04:26You ready to go?
04:27I'm ready, man.
04:28Yeah, let's go.
04:28Go with it.
04:29Okay.
04:29Anybody that knows me knows that I don't go on dates.
04:33No blind dates are scary as it is.
04:36You made it.
04:36You brought someone.
04:37Yes.
04:37Hello, how are you?
04:38Hey, how are you?
04:39Nice to meet you, Connor.
04:40Lovely to meet you, Mariah.
04:43Where'd you come from?
04:44I live in Dublin.
04:46Yeah, how about you?
04:46I came from Galway.
04:48Oh, really?
04:48Yeah, yeah.
04:49I've been to Galway a good few times.
04:50Yeah?
04:50Like it?
04:50Yeah, I love it.
04:51Oh, wait, so you're from Galway?
04:53No, I'm originally from Brighton in the UK.
04:55Oh, you are?
04:55Yeah, can you tell me my accent?
04:57Yeah, of course.
04:59About ten years ago, I moved here fully.
05:02Didn't mean to.
05:03And actually stayed.
05:05Connemara got me.
05:06I think it does that to a lot of people.
05:08Do you usually date, do you?
05:09Or what's your...?
05:10Do I usually date?
05:11Mm.
05:13Regularly date?
05:13Oh, no, absolutely not.
05:15I just date my dog.
05:17I just date myself, so...
05:20That sounded really bad.
05:22I mean, I don't date.
05:24I don't date, so...
05:30Well, how are we getting on?
05:32Some people merely claim to be old school romantics.
05:37Said keeps detailed accounts.
05:41I think it's really important in a relationship to be really romantic.
05:45Like, I've done terribly cringy stuff.
05:47Like, I've had, like, art commissioned and stuff of them.
05:50And there was one relationship I was in.
05:52I saved every receipt from every single date we went on
05:55and put it in, like, a big scrapbook on our first anniversary.
06:00I'll never forget the moment we kissed...
06:03Just, like, a telltale of every single date we've been on.
06:06Oh, fuck.
06:09It's a trick.
06:10It's a trick, man.
06:11I got tricked.
06:12How are you getting on?
06:13Mr.
06:14Your name?
06:14Said.
06:15Matteo, nice to meet you, Said.
06:16Absolute pleasure.
06:17Where are you coming from?
06:18Uh, Ranley.
06:19Yeah.
06:19Okay, I used to live in Northern for seven or eight years, yeah.
06:22It's gorgeous, isn't it?
06:23Yeah, it's beautiful, yeah.
06:24My favourite part of Dublin.
06:25Oh, Ranley, it's expensive, eh?
06:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:28I live in the tiniest box room ever, so, you know, we don't pay too much, but...
06:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:32It's good.
06:32I know I don't really come across as a nervous person a lot, but deep down...
06:36Would you like a drink?
06:37I'd love a drink.
06:38What would you like?
06:39I would love a Negroni.
06:41Oh.
06:41Respect.
06:42He's in love with you now.
06:43Yeah, already.
06:44Good, good.
06:45Let's just skip this.
06:46Right, we'll go on a day together.
06:47Come on, let's go.
06:47Shall we?
06:47Let's just get out of here.
06:48Yeah.
06:49I just find it's a great way of getting to know someone better and delivering some kind
06:55of rapport.
06:56It's not like, if I'm there telling jokes and being funny, like...
06:59They won't know I'm shivering inside, like...
07:02We have, like, the most rubbish little box rooms with no insulation or anything.
07:06That sounds like every apartment in Dublin, so...
07:09It does.
07:10I wouldn't blame Ranelah for that.
07:11I'm not blaming Ranelah.
07:13Do you live with a lot of people?
07:14I live with four lads.
07:15Okay.
07:16Why don't you all just cuddle together in a bedroom?
07:18I've suggested it.
07:19They really...
07:20They keep turning me down.
07:22Like, lads.
07:23Why can't we just all cuddle?
07:24You know, if I was there, I would.
07:25I'd be like, yeah, no problem.
07:26It's fine.
07:27Thank you, finally.
07:28Anything to save money on electricity.
07:30Think about the bills.
07:31Yeah.
07:32What's the cheeky cuddle with the boys?
07:34I've had times where a girl has invited me over to her gap.
07:37I'm just sitting on this over together.
07:38She's making...
07:39Thinking back.
07:40She's making very obvious signs.
07:42And I'm just there like, oh no, I thought it was just friends.
07:45Someone who's a bit weird, like myself.
07:49That's good.
07:50A bit tapped in the head.
07:51I like that.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Honesty is good.
07:53You know, down to freak.
07:58Hey.
08:02Looks are personality.
08:04For Zaza, it's all about the beauty within.
08:09Definitely personality.
08:10They can be kind of goofy looking.
08:12I don't mind.
08:13They've just got kind of like an endearing sort of look to them
08:15or like some kind of charm or spark.
08:17Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
08:22I can be kind of silly and goofy, which I enjoy being.
08:24But I'm actually smart, hopefully.
08:26I think that I'm smart.
08:28And I think that can take a little longer to see
08:30because I just like to sort of goof around a lot.
08:33Hello.
08:33Nice to meet you.
08:34Beautiful.
08:35What's your name?
08:35Zaza.
08:36Zaza?
08:37Is that a short for something?
08:38Sure for Alexandra.
08:39Alexandra.
08:40Okay.
08:41In Croatia, we would call you Alex.
08:43Yes, yes.
08:44In the US too, we call me Alex, but...
08:46Zaza I did.
08:47I'm Zaza, yeah.
08:48Okay.
08:48I've gone on dates with like Irish guys, French guys,
08:51people from sort of all over because it is so international here.
08:54But you do need to have some sort of like stuff in common,
08:57you know?
08:57Your date is at the bar.
08:59Okay.
09:00No, no, no.
09:01You're not going without me.
09:01I'm going with you.
09:02Oh, you're coming with me.
09:03Sorry.
09:04Too eager.
09:06I feel like I'd be more nervous about what they thought of me
09:09than who the person is maybe.
09:12Hello.
09:12How are you?
09:13Good.
09:13Nice to meet you.
09:14Oh, are we going?
09:15What are we doing?
09:16Yeah, I think we're going.
09:16We'll do it all.
09:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:17Not too awkward.
09:18Yeah, no, all good.
09:19Great start to things.
09:20Great to meet you.
09:21You look stunning.
09:21Love the dress.
09:22Thank you so much.
09:23You look at yourself.
09:24You won't bear for lack.
09:25Yeah.
09:25How are you feeling?
09:26Feeling good.
09:27I'm a little nervous.
09:28Yeah.
09:28I suppose you'd have to be.
09:30Yeah.
09:30Love the cowboy boots as well.
09:32Look at those.
09:33Those are class.
09:34Thank you very much.
09:35And where's that accent from?
09:37I'm from the US, Arizona.
09:39I guess.
09:39I guess the US.
09:40Bringing a bit of culture.
09:41Culture.
09:42Yes.
09:43I freak out.
09:44I get my housemates to say, no, it's fine.
09:46It's normal.
09:47People go on dates all the time.
09:49What do you do?
09:50I'm a student.
09:51A student?
09:52And I work at a restaurant.
09:53What are you studying?
09:54I'm studying creative writing.
09:56Ooh.
09:56Yeah.
09:57A creative.
09:59Creative person.
10:00Yeah.
10:01How long have you got left?
10:02So you're...
10:03My thesis is due on Friday.
10:05Due on Friday?
10:06It's due on Friday.
10:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:07And you're here.
10:09Yes, I'm here.
10:10This actually was making me more stressed than my thesis.
10:12Yeah, I can imagine.
10:13Once I get this out of the way, I'll be like, oh, okay.
10:16That's finished.
10:16Just a thesis now, yeah.
10:20So how long have you been in...?
10:22Ireland.
10:22Oh?
10:23Three years.
10:24What brought you over here?
10:26Love, to be honest.
10:27Really?
10:28Yeah.
10:28You know, when I first came, it was actually really hard.
10:30Like, I'm not sure how you felt.
10:32When you...?
10:33Yeah, it was strange.
10:34Like, for me, like, half my family's in England.
10:36Half them are here.
10:37So I'm kind of between the two.
10:39About 15 years ago, my dad and step-in moved over here.
10:42Took over a business that my step-mom had.
10:45So do you work for your dad, then?
10:47No, I, um, I work as a musician.
10:50Wait, cool!
10:50Yeah, yeah.
10:52What do you, like, what do you do?
10:53I'm a singer.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:56Yeah.
10:56Yeah, yeah.
10:56You're like, yeah, I know.
10:57It's pretty cool.
10:58I grew up in music.
10:59So, like, my dad is a guitarist and my step-mom is a saxophone player.
11:03So I kind of had to play music.
11:06When I moved to Ireland, the music scene on the west coast of Ireland is so good that I just
11:11felt at home.
11:12Do you sing in pubs across Galway?
11:14Yeah, yeah.
11:15The west coast of Ireland, yeah.
11:16Oh, my God.
11:1760s, 70s stuff, you know, like, Eagles.
11:19Oh, yeah.
11:20Creedence Clearwater.
11:21Wait, oh, is that them?
11:21Oh, no.
11:22I don't know.
11:24Oh, here we go.
11:25We're getting the voice out now.
11:27Give me more bites then.
11:28They'll come.
11:28Yeah.
11:30Would you do Irish tunes or, like?
11:32Not Irish stuff.
11:33Especially my accent.
11:34Yeah, I was going to say, they must hate you.
11:37I was like, get off the stage.
11:38That's why they're booing you.
11:44All right.
11:45I'm sorry.
11:46I never asked your name.
11:48I didn't ask yours.
11:49Mine doesn't matter.
11:50Mine's Zaza.
11:51It is not Zaza.
11:53It is.
11:53It's short for Alexandra, but everyone calls me Zaza.
11:55Everyone calls you Zaza.
11:56Yes.
11:57That.
11:57And I was Zaza before it was a term for weed.
12:01Before it was Zaza.
12:02Just to be clear.
12:03Yeah.
12:03I'm the original.
12:05And what's yours?
12:08My name is Said.
12:09Said.
12:10A pleasure to meet you.
12:11Proper.
12:12A handshake now.
12:13We did a hug earlier.
12:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:14We're getting more formal as it goes on.
12:16Yeah, exactly.
12:17Will I just send you, like, an invite to, like, a Teams meeting?
12:19Yeah, that's fine.
12:20Yeah.
12:21That's all good.
12:22I could do anything for a first date.
12:23All that matters is sort of getting to know the person.
12:26I could go for a walk.
12:26I could go for a drink.
12:27I like to think I'm very sort of flexible and open-minded.
12:31So, what do you do?
12:33I didn't ask that.
12:33What do I do?
12:34I am a pharmacist.
12:36Okay.
12:36So I sell drugs.
12:37Cool.
12:38But, like...
12:39The chill kind.
12:40I really love it.
12:41I love being a pharmacist.
12:42And whereabouts do you live?
12:44I asked you this already.
12:44You did?
12:45Yeah.
12:45Yeah, no, no, no.
12:46I could piss some people off sometimes.
12:48Uh...
12:48Or annoy some people with the way I deliver things.
12:51You're from Ranala.
12:52Or you live in Ranala.
12:54And then you are from somewhere else.
12:57That's right.
12:58Okay.
12:59So you're asking me where am I really from?
13:01No.
13:02Nope.
13:02No, no, no, no, no.
13:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:05No, it's okay.
13:06Backtrack.
13:07It's okay.
13:07You can ask me that.
13:08Um...
13:09I was asking if we were really from Ranala.
13:11Or...
13:12Mostly I piss off my friends.
13:15Because then I'm with whoever they're with that I don't really know that well.
13:19And I'm delivering all these weird lines and saying weird crap to them.
13:22Okay.
13:23So, timeline...
13:25Timeline...
13:26Of your life.
13:26Let's do it.
13:27Timeline of my entire life.
13:28Is this another way of asking me where I'm really from?
13:30I'm not asking where you're really from.
13:32You just kind of...
13:33You just kind of did.
13:34You already asked me where I'm really from, so...
13:35I did actually, to be fair.
13:37I said so.
13:37To be fair.
13:38To be fair.
13:38So I said I'm from Cabra and you said, where are you really from?
13:40Nah, but actually like...
13:41You didn't say that.
13:41I was born in a place called Azerbaijan.
13:44Okay.
13:45But like...
13:45Know it?
13:46Know of it?
13:47Yeah.
13:47You know of it?
13:49Yes.
13:49Don't we all?
13:50No, we don't.
13:51Okay.
13:51Well, I do.
13:52Okay.
13:53How'd you know it?
13:54From, you know, the maps.
13:57From the maps?
13:58Also, I'm an F1 fan.
14:00There's a...
14:00Are you?
14:01Race there?
14:02Is there?
14:03There's a Grand Prix there.
14:04Yes.
14:04Yes, I thought so.
14:05Me and my dad both love Formula 1.
14:07Actually, I liked it first and then he got into it.
14:09I think he was like, finally she likes the sport.
14:11So, he started watching it too and now whenever there's a race on, we're like texting each
14:14other about it.
14:15We have races there.
14:17Yeah.
14:17Yeah.
14:18Yeah.
14:18I'm a race.
14:19You're a race.
14:20Okay, yeah.
14:22So, anyway, finally we hear where you're really from.
14:25Finally.
14:27I don't have to ask any more questions around that.
14:29No, just be silent for the rest of the night.
14:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
14:39no, no, no, no.
14:40There are two sides to Luciana and they're both a bit tasty.
14:45If you were a food type, what would you be?
14:50Sweet and sour chicken.
14:52It's sweet, but it's a bit sour because I could be a little bit, you know.
15:00I came here for holidays and then I met my ex.
15:05I started living with him like after two days.
15:08He could have been a serial killer.
15:12I was with him for four years.
15:14And then when I separated, I said, well, I'm going to stay.
15:20Look at you.
15:23I...
15:26I need to make an entrance.
15:29So what brings you here?
15:30I don't think you need any help of getting a man.
15:33Well, sometimes, you know, someone else that makes the choice for you could be a different perspective.
15:38I want someone, I have to say, honest, that wants to share,
15:43that wants to do things with me.
15:45Oh.
15:46If he's hot, wonderful.
15:48And how has dating been in Ireland for you so far?
15:52I mean, not bad, but not that good.
15:57Okay, yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:57I mean, that's why we are here today, right?
15:59Exactly.
16:00So...
16:00How do you find Irish men?
16:04That's the thing.
16:05Oh, they are gorgeous.
16:06I have to say some of them, they are very good looking.
16:11However, sometimes a little bit difficult on communication side.
16:15I am quite communicative.
16:17It always seems to work that way.
16:18It's like opposites attracts, you know?
16:19Yeah.
16:20But then it's like we are on a stage that it's like opposites attracts.
16:22Yeah.
16:23This is too opposite.
16:24It's too opposite.
16:24Yeah.
16:25Talk.
16:33Back in Civis after 20 years in the army, Dara is still doing his bit for the United Nations.
16:40I am looking for someone who is happy, outgoing and fun.
16:47I am divorced for three years and I have been dating Tinder, dating around.
16:52I had a relationship with a Brazilian woman, a relationship with a Polish woman.
16:57You know, I have met a lot of nice people, but I just haven't met like the one, I suppose.
17:03Mateo, nice to meet you, Dara.
17:03Yeah, it's a pleasure to meet you.
17:05The roles, huh?
17:06Yeah.
17:06Well done, buddy.
17:07Yep.
17:07I am just here for romance.
17:09I have my roles.
17:10I am looking forward to meeting my date.
17:11Believe me, when I show you your date, you are going to be happy.
17:14If you don't capture this chance, I'm after you.
17:17Okay.
17:18Let's do it.
17:18You'll make me proud, eh?
17:19I will.
17:19I will.
17:20Let's go.
17:21I'm definitely not for everybody, but I'm a chatterbox, so there won't be any awkward silences
17:26or anything like that.
17:27And I think whether we hit it off or not, we'll still have a good date.
17:32Hi.
17:33How are you?
17:34How are you?
17:35That's for you.
17:36Nice to meet you.
17:37How are you?
17:38Good.
17:38Great.
17:39Would you like a drink?
17:39I would love a drink.
17:40I love a whiskey sour.
17:41Whiskey sour, coming up.
17:43Nice.
17:43I like your tattoos.
17:44Look at all those tattoos.
17:45Yeah, yeah.
17:46They're so nice.
17:47Do you have any tattoos?
17:48I do, yeah.
17:49I like David Bowie, so it's like Bowie things related.
17:53Nice.
17:53And it's like...
17:58So, did you travel far?
18:00How did you came here?
18:01Yeah, I just got the bus, so...
18:03Oh, the bus.
18:03Yeah.
18:03Okay, good.
18:04Yeah.
18:05I came under Lewis.
18:06It's like the same.
18:07It's not that spot afar, yeah.
18:13Are you a little bit...
18:14You're a little bit nervous.
18:15Are you?
18:16No, no, I haven't been nervous, no.
18:17No, I've just been looking forward to it.
18:20And, you know, I didn't know what my date would be.
18:23And I was a little bit nervous about that.
18:24But now seeing you, I'm very happy.
18:25Oh, okay, thank you.
18:26I'll have it.
18:27That's good.
18:31Oh, yeah.
18:42So...
18:51We live on the farm.
18:53In...
18:53Connemara.
18:54Like my family home.
18:55Oh, really?
18:55Yeah, you know, it lands.
18:56We used to have chickens.
18:57What do I do with them?
18:58Do they lay eggs?
18:59They all die.
19:00They all die.
19:02Why?
19:03That's so sad.
19:03Badger.
19:04Road badger.
19:05What?
19:06A badger ate them.
19:07What's a badger?
19:09You know what a badger is?
19:10Oh.
19:12Never heard of a badger?
19:13No.
19:14You know, like, uh...
19:15How do I explain a badger?
19:18How do I explain a badger?
19:21Um...
19:22Do you like a fox?
19:22Yeah, of course I know foxes, yeah.
19:24Yeah, it's similar to a fox, but they're, like, more aggressive.
19:28What's an animal?
19:29I thought it was, like, a car rager or something.
19:30Like a badger.
19:31It's an animal, isn't it?
19:32I'll show you a badger.
19:33Okay, okay.
19:46So, what do you do?
19:49I work in the tech industry.
19:51Okay.
19:51Yeah, I do, like, coding and stuff like that.
19:53Okay.
19:53Well, what do you do?
19:55I work in recruitment.
19:56Procurement?
19:57Recruitment.
19:58Oh, recruitment.
19:59Yeah.
19:59Recruitment, yeah.
20:01Hmm.
20:03So...
20:03But, yeah.
20:05How would I know if your date's going well?
20:08I would say, like, you know, there'd be, like, a lot of smiling and eye contact would be good.
20:13Like, I've been told sometimes my eye contact isn't very good.
20:16But, like, I think if I'm, like, feeling someone I would be looking in their eyes and smiling and stuff.
20:21So, if you see me doing that, it's probably going well.
20:25Um, tell me something about you.
20:28Well...
20:29We're matching for everything.
20:31Um, I'm a, like, sporty guy, you know.
20:34I like doing sports.
20:35Okay.
20:35Like, you know, I was a boxer for a long time.
20:37Okay.
20:37And, uh, recently, in the last year or so, I've started dancing.
20:41I've started doing dancing.
20:42Okay, what dancing?
20:43Eh, like, fojo.
20:44Like, Brazilian fojo.
20:46I go to this dance studio, like, multiple times a week, basically.
20:49Which was a big barrier for me, by the way.
20:51Yeah.
20:52When you see the people down there, they're really good at, like, expressing themselves and they don't care.
20:56Yeah.
20:56It's, like, liberating.
20:58Yeah, yeah.
20:58Like, I would say, like, feel sexy and dancing and, you know, not feel embarrassed about it and stuff.
21:09When I was two years old, myself and my parents moved here.
21:13Okay.
21:13Eventually settled down in Dublin.
21:15In Soran.
21:16Famously.
21:17Well, see, this is the thing.
21:19This is the thing.
21:19I say Still Oregon, but, like, we move from place to place to place to place to place constantly.
21:24Okay, okay, okay.
21:24Yeah.
21:25We were put with other asylum seekers in, like, this old B&B out in Tip.
21:31Then we eventually moved up to Dublin.
21:33And, like, it wasn't easy, because there really wasn't many immigrants around back then.
21:36The only reason I say Still Oregon is because my school was there.
21:41Okay, yeah.
21:41And we just kept moving around.
21:43Yeah.
21:43Just kept moving around.
21:44Yeah.
21:44It was challenging growing up, but, you know, you get on with it.
21:51I went to college in Trinity.
21:53Okay, cool.
21:54Yes.
21:55And become a pharmacist.
21:56Which you are, currently.
21:57Which I currently am.
21:57Yes.
21:58I was working in a pharmacy in Coolock when the Dublin riots broke out.
22:05And I just remember it happening.
22:06And I remember people coming in.
22:08And the looks I was getting just felt different.
22:11And as someone who's, like, lived in Ireland their entire life, I love Irish culture.
22:18Like, if someone asks me where I'm from, I say I'm Irish.
22:20I work hard for this place.
22:21I work hard for its people.
22:24And then to say, no, you don't belong here.
22:27Yeah, it just doesn't feel great.
22:35Oh, wait.
22:36You could bring three dinner guests to this table.
22:39I'm gone, because I'd be number one.
22:40But who would the three dinner guests be?
22:44Prince.
22:45Okay.
22:45And I would like to sit down with Brian Adams.
22:48I saw him live, literally, two months ago.
22:51He's so good.
22:52He's Canadian.
22:53At the concert, he, like, made everyone, like, flash.
22:55Really?
22:56And I was like, thank God, I didn't do it.
22:58Because an hour later, I was walking and I saw my boss.
23:01But anyways, Brian Adams, Prince, and last person.
23:04I thought it was you, the last person.
23:06No, no, no.
23:06I said, that's a given.
23:07So, like, I'm gone.
23:10Well, I said I'm a Gordon Ramsay.
23:11He made this meal.
23:13He made this meal.
23:14He made this meal.
23:18What's it like to perform?
23:19Like, you know, say, you're not working.
23:20You've got a weekend yourself.
23:22You can do anything you want.
23:23Well, I do, like, the same dancing.
23:26I do, like, um, heels.
23:28The pole dancing heels.
23:29Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:30Very sexy.
23:31I do pole dancing.
23:33I love heels.
23:34I love dancing with the heels.
23:37They are, like, this high.
23:39Eight centimeters.
23:41Very beautiful.
23:44And tell me this, tell me this, since you've come to Ireland, like, how's your dating been
23:47going?
23:48Well, it's not that I date a lot, actually.
23:51Well, I find it hard to believe, like, a woman like yourself is single and happy.
23:56Oh, well, I've been in long relationships.
24:00So I've been too long.
24:01Well, one long and the other one not that long.
24:03Um, but I entered a relationship.
24:05It was the same day that I was let go from my job.
24:09Bad timing.
24:10My God.
24:11Well, you know, when one thing happens, everything happens, right?
24:14It's like a range of parts.
24:15Yeah.
24:15Like, it was very tough because it was all the same day.
24:19Like, that's life.
24:20Also, it's acknowledging, right?
24:22Like, sometimes maybe it's me.
24:24So, that I'm going on the wrong way or doing the wrong thing.
24:28You know?
24:28Like, I don't know.
24:29Awareness of, okay, it's not only the other person because it's easy to blame the other.
24:33That's the communication thing, though, isn't it?
24:35Yeah.
24:36Oh, yeah.
24:37So you're just enjoying being single at the moment and...
24:39Oh, no.
24:39I was focusing more on myself.
24:41Like, uh...
24:41It's true.
24:42It's important to be happy on your... by yourself.
24:45Yeah.
24:46But it's a...
24:47It means...
24:47No one's meant to be on their own, either, you know?
24:49Mm-hmm.
24:56Try as she might, Fiona just can't seem to go out without attracting police attention.
25:03When we're going out, we say we're not going to go to coppers, and then the end of the night
25:07always ends up in coppers.
25:10You're not particularly looking for a guard, are you?
25:12Well, I wouldn't say no to a guard.
25:15I don't think anyone would say no to a guard.
25:18Or if you could find me a rugby player, that would be nice.
25:22Yellow, yellow, yellow is the colour of the summer.
25:25Oh, I'm such a hopeless romantic.
25:27Hello.
25:28I'd love to meet somebody, you know, at a bar or on the street.
25:31That's my ideal way that I'd meet my husband, but I'd...
25:33I don't know, in the century, is it going to happen?
25:36How you look lovely.
25:37Thank you very much.
25:39I'd like a gentleman, you know, somebody who's not cocky, can have the crack, but also
25:43is, like, really down-to-earth.
25:45Oh, thank you.
25:46A lot of yellow, I love it.
25:47Oh, thank you.
25:48I think you have to have a certain personality to pull off yellow.
25:51Do you know what?
25:52Me last year, like, would never have applied for this.
25:54Really? What changed?
25:56I broke up with my ex.
25:57I moved out of home, I started a new job, and I said, this is just the cherry on top.
26:03I'm just trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.
26:05Good. Fair play.
26:06Oh, God.
26:07Like, what have I done?
26:11There's been Susan and Jacqueline, and Karen was one.
26:16Angela's nice looking.
26:18She's dark and mysterious.
26:20To look at him, you'd never suspect that Tom has a passion for the auto-erotic.
26:27Angela is my most recent car.
26:30All my cars have names.
26:32I just think it suits them better.
26:35Nice to meet you, Tom.
26:36Nice to meet you, too.
26:36What a nice story, my man.
26:37How are you?
26:38I'm in the easy spot.
26:40How are you?
26:40Bit nervous.
26:41I'm fine.
26:42What is it that you are looking for?
26:45I want to find the love of my life.
26:46I think it's possible.
26:50Hi.
26:51How are you?
26:52Sorry.
26:52Nice to meet you.
26:53Nice to meet you.
26:54What's your name?
26:55Tom.
26:55Tom, Fiona.
26:56Nice to meet you.
26:57Where are you from?
26:57Kildare.
26:58Grant, Grant.
26:59Yeah, Kildare, but living in Finglas.
27:00Where are you from?
27:01Kilkenny.
27:02Fab.
27:03Yeah, lovely spot.
27:04Did you travel down this morning?
27:06No, I live in Dublin.
27:07Do you know Ashtown?
27:08Oh, yeah.
27:08I live, or I work on the Navin Road.
27:11That's outside my house.
27:12Stop.
27:14What do you do?
27:14I'm a nurse.
27:15No way.
27:16Yeah.
27:16So I work at the minute with adults with intellectual disability, so I work for a disability service.
27:22I actually love it so much.
27:24I used to do nursing.
27:26Did you?
27:27What type of nursing did you do?
27:29ID.
27:29Stuff.
27:30Oh, my God.
27:31I was in for a year, and then Covid came.
27:33Yeah.
27:33So I couldn't commit to it after that.
27:35So what do you do now?
27:36Uh, in data centres.
27:38My last job.
27:39I used to climb, like, radio towers.
27:41Oh, my goodness.
27:42That's bizarre.
27:43So you go from nursing to, like, you know, scaling buildings.
27:48That's bizarre.
27:48No.
27:51Hell.
27:52Okay, how long have you been single?
27:54Like, two and something years.
27:56That's a while.
27:58That's a long time.
27:59That's tough.
28:00I mean, I, like, there's been some dating in the middle.
28:02Mmm.
28:03I've been sitting at home, like, you know, twiddling my thumbs, but...
28:07No, that's fair.
28:08Yeah.
28:08What about you?
28:08I've, uh, 24 hours.
28:11Yeah, cool.
28:11Yeah.
28:12Yeah.
28:13Better than three hours.
28:13I kind of knew that this was coming down, so I just...
28:15You were like, let me just...
28:16Quickly just broke up with her.
28:17Cool.
28:18Yeah.
28:18Kind of this.
28:19I'll get back with her tomorrow.
28:20Clear the roster.
28:20Yeah.
28:21Clear the roster.
28:23Yeah.
28:24No, no, no.
28:24I've been single for a year and...
28:27A year and change.
28:28A year and change.
28:29Yeah.
28:30All right.
28:31I'd want him to be someone I could have a laugh with, you know, maybe split a bottle of
28:35wine, you know.
28:36Should we get shots?
28:37We could do one shot.
28:39Two shots.
28:42What would you do?
28:42Okay, what shot would you do?
28:43It would be tequila if I was doing a shot.
28:44It would be tequila.
28:46But then also have a serious conversation.
28:48I can trust him.
28:49You know, I want to feel like I really know him.
28:51I have an understanding of him as a person.
28:52And then I think, like, whatever problems come up, you can deal with them as long as
28:55you have that sort of baseline understanding.
28:57Okay.
28:58All right.
28:59To a first date.
29:00How do they say cheers in American?
29:02Cheers.
29:03You guys say sláinte here.
29:04I am fucking with you.
29:05Yes, sláinte.
29:06Oh, okay.
29:07Sláinte.
29:10Mm.
29:11Mine was very salty still.
29:12That was worse than the shot.
29:13Yeah, I know.
29:18I literally look at all of my best mates.
29:20They've all been in relationships.
29:21Yeah.
29:22And I'm not.
29:23And here we are.
29:24And here we are, yeah.
29:26Have you had, like, a relationship before?
29:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:29We were together for about three years.
29:31I lived together on that.
29:33Nice.
29:33And it just didn't work out.
29:35Like, I kind of realized towards the end of it that we weren't really suited.
29:39Okay.
29:39And, like, I'm not one of those kind of people who just don't, like, stay in something because
29:43you feel like it's the right thing to do, you know.
29:45Yeah, you're like, good for him.
29:46It's hard.
29:46Yeah.
29:47It wasn't right.
29:48We weren't right for each other, but I still loved her.
29:50So it was kind of, it still hurt a lot, you know.
29:52And then I'm just not great at, like, online dating.
29:57Oh, it's awful here, isn't it?
29:58Online dating back home, you match with someone and 80% of the time they'll write you and
30:06at least say hello or come up with a pick-up line, whereas, like, on dating apps here,
30:10like, I match people and I'm like, it's a ghost town.
30:12I've downloaded it a few times for, like, just to see, but I've never gone on an online
30:17date.
30:18I'm not as confident as you think I am.
30:20Are you not?
30:20Oh, no, no.
30:21I'm surprised when you're not confident.
30:23I feel like being in position, you kind of have to be.
30:25When you're singing and you're playing music, it's like, you can hide behind it.
30:29Back home, we're very direct.
30:30So, like, if we like something, we say it.
30:32If we don't like something, totally fine.
30:34We say it and we move on.
30:35For me, personally, if I like someone, I'll say it.
30:38When I brought my friend Meg, who was visiting me from Canada to Galway, and we went to a
30:42few pubs, we went to one of the live music.
30:43It was really, really nice.
30:44It was you that was playing.
30:46Who knows?
30:46Imagine.
30:47That's why it was so nice.
30:48Imagine.
30:48Oh, my God, that guy's so hot.
30:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:51And now we're here, I'm like, like, damn.
30:53I've seen it.
30:54I may know his voice.
31:02I can't believe you're only working on the Navin Road.
31:03That's bizarre.
31:05My residents, like, we go out driving every day.
31:07So, like, I'd be driving down the Navin Road in, like, this big red bus.
31:10Oh, I've definitely seen a big red bus.
31:12Oh, my God, you definitely see me, like, driving the bus.
31:16That's so embarrassing.
31:17I used to love the bus.
31:19Get everyone out for a spin.
31:20Yeah.
31:21You build such big relationships with your residents, and it's very much about integrating
31:26them into community life and promoting independence for them.
31:29You can see the difference it's making in their life, so it's really nice to see.
31:34So, what does your parents do?
31:36Mom was an ID nurse.
31:38No way.
31:40Oh, my God, it's meant to be.
31:43And my dad was a guard.
31:45Mm-hmm.
31:46I actually wanted to ask him before, like, did you meet in coppers?
31:50I think they were weird and got married, like, in a shopping centre.
31:54What was the reason?
31:55I don't know.
31:56I think they just wanted to have fun.
31:58I love that.
31:59Oh, my God, like, don't stick with the norm.
32:02Who needs a church?
32:04How do you feel about, like, the whole, like, traditional marriage thing?
32:08I don't know.
32:09I don't know.
32:11Hi.
32:12Do you have anything?
32:14No, I like to believe I have, like, guardian angels.
32:18It's a bit comforting.
32:19That's lovely.
32:20I wouldn't be, like, a big God guy.
32:22Yeah, that's lovely.
32:24I feel like I'm on the fence about it.
32:26Some days I do and some days I don't.
32:28I think it's more of a comfort thing.
32:30Like, I want comfort in knowing that there's something else afterwards.
32:39I was over in Spain last week, actually.
32:41Oh, really?
32:41Yeah.
32:42Where did you go?
32:43Salute.
32:44Okay.
32:44Yeah.
32:45I have two kids.
32:46Okay.
32:47My daughter's just going ten.
32:49So you have a girl, ten, and a boy?
32:51Yeah, and a boy, seven.
32:53Okay.
32:54Like, last year we went to Disneyland.
32:56Oh, really?
32:56Yeah, every year I just bring them somewhere, like, you know.
32:59It's like spoiling them.
33:00They're having the best time at this point.
33:02That's what you have to do.
33:03That's their childhood, basically.
33:05You've got to have childhood memories and stuff like that.
33:07Yeah.
33:08I'd go without the kids.
33:09I love it.
33:09Oh, really?
33:10To, like, roller coasters.
33:12No?
33:12No, I can't.
33:13No, I don't want to suffer.
33:17Maybe I'm just a bit of a kid.
33:18I don't know.
33:22Days by myself.
33:23That sounded so bad, though.
33:25Right.
33:26Would you ever go for, like, solar dinners?
33:28Or, like, solo, like, lunches?
33:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:30I think a lot of people nowadays have a bit of a problem with it.
33:33Yeah.
33:33They think they have to be with someone.
33:35Yeah.
33:35I've kind of gone through that stage now.
33:37I'm, like, doing that all by myself.
33:39I think when you're single, like, 50% of the time, you're like,
33:41this is great.
33:42Out on the weekends and that is fine then, but it's when it hits,
33:44like, the Monday mornings or the Monday evenings and, like,
33:47you're by yourself.
33:49For now it would be more nice to, like, have someone to do it with.
33:52And not go by yourself all the time.
33:53Yeah.
33:53Because I probably am starting to look a little bit like a loser.
33:56You know when you meet people and you're like, there's energy there,
33:59but you don't want to make a move because then what if they're actually not into you
34:04and they're just being nice?
34:05It's just a minefield.
34:07I think it's about the dog honesty as well.
34:08I've got it.
34:09Are you sure?
34:10I've loved my time.
34:11It's so good.
34:12That's really sweet.
34:15Moment of truth.
34:17Would you like to see each other again romantically?
34:22Ladies first or see what me and you?
34:24I can go first.
34:25Yeah.
34:25I'd love to.
34:26Yep.
34:27I'd love to.
34:27Yep.
34:29Yeah, I thought we were going really well.
34:31Yeah.
34:31It was really fun.
34:33So what did you ask for tonight?
34:34Somebody who's, like, chatty, likes music, nice person.
34:39How about you?
34:41I asked.
34:43Oh my God, no.
34:44What is this?
34:45This is.
34:46I had a massive look.
34:49This is my dream man.
34:50I like someone who is a family man.
34:53Yeah.
34:54Someone who's confident, but I think you're very confident.
34:57Even though you're like, I don't know.
34:58Should've split the belly and should've left.
35:02A really nice smile.
35:04You have a great smile.
35:06That was so fun, wasn't it?
35:07That was great.
35:09Who is Owen?
35:10Owen is the old Mariah.
35:12Oh.
35:15Good boy, Owen.
35:16Hello, Connor.
35:17Yeah.
35:22What's happening with the hair?
35:24I'd like to see you draw me.
35:25I would love to.
35:26Have a good one more.
35:30Will you keep on...
35:37Thank you ladies.
35:38All the best.
35:41Hello.
35:42Hi.
35:43How are you?
35:44Good. How are you, more importantly?
35:46Oh, my God, he's so nice.
35:49Is he? Yeah.
35:50He studied a year as an intellectual disability nurse.
35:53No way!
35:54And his mother is an intellectual disability nurse.
35:57I know. That was a match made in heaven.
36:00Fucking hell, I know.
36:02I don't know, though, is he my type?
36:04Really? And what does he do?
36:06He does stuff with cables, I think.
36:09I don't really understand his job.
36:15How do you like Dublin city?
36:17Oh, I think it's wonderful.
36:18I have, like, 10 million inhabitants where I'm from.
36:21In just that city?
36:22Only Buenos Aires, 7 million more, yeah.
36:24Now here, for me, I don't have the countryside.
36:27Yeah, I love it here.
36:30Ireland has changed so much now.
36:31Like, you know, in the 80s and 90s, people used to leave Ireland,
36:34you know, because there were no jobs here.
36:36Oh, yeah.
36:36That's why there's Irish immigrants all over the world, you know,
36:39but now people are coming here because, you know,
36:41there's opportunities here,
36:42and I think it's, like, better.
36:44All the different nationalities.
36:45I think it's great.
36:46I like that, too.
36:48That mix of cultures.
36:50It doesn't matter where you go.
36:52Like, Irish people itself are very welcoming.
36:55I remember when I arrived and I went to a pub.
36:58First time I was on my own.
37:00There was a group of people there.
37:02They see me on my own and say,
37:03Oh, join us for drinks.
37:04And they start getting drowned.
37:05And I was like...
37:07I thought that was very nice, right?
37:09It's the place that makes you feel part of.
37:11So, for me, I needed that feeling of belonging,
37:14and I got it here in Ireland.
37:16Cool.
37:17It's good here.
37:18Mmm.
37:21I love just, like, a plain cheesecake.
37:23That's nice, yeah.
37:24Have you ever been to the...
37:25Have you ever been to the U.S.?
37:26I've actually never been to the States.
37:27Okay, that's okay.
37:28No rush.
37:29No, I'll wait until they're less racist over there.
37:32Yeah.
37:33Hopefully it goes eventually the less racist route.
37:36Just a bit.
37:36Currently it's going the other way.
37:38It's going very much so the other way.
37:40Yeah.
37:40Racister.
37:41More racister.
37:42To be fair, I have family over in the U.S.
37:45Where does?
37:45In D.C.
37:46Mm-hmm.
37:48So, I...
37:49I was born there, actually.
37:50You were born in D.C.?
37:50Yeah.
37:51Well, like, the suburbs.
37:52Like, in Virginia, the suburbs, but...
37:54Like, I'd want to know we were kind of aligned politically, hopefully.
37:57Religion doesn't matter to me as much.
37:58I'd be more flexible about.
38:00Would it be, like, your dream job?
38:02That's an interesting question.
38:04As a writer, there's none.
38:05There's no jobs.
38:06Oh, sorry.
38:06Yes, you're a writer.
38:07Yeah, so...
38:07You will never be employed.
38:09Yeah, no.
38:09You know, I like my restaurant job, but I don't think that I'd want to be in a restaurant
38:12forever.
38:13Working at a restaurant is great inspiration for writing, because so many different people
38:16come in, you know, you hear something and you're like, you know.
38:20If I could just, like, be a writer and survive, that would be ideal.
38:23That's what I was going to ask.
38:24Yeah.
38:24Do you read, or...?
38:27Both my parents are writers, so lots of books in our house.
38:32So they definitely supported me being a writer.
38:34They might have supported me less if I wanted to be a doctor or something.
38:37It's, like, the opposite.
38:38Favorite book ever?
38:40Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, you know?
38:43You're pulling out some niche stuff.
38:46It's so fair.
38:47It's really not that niche, I hate to say.
38:50I actually think it's really not that niche.
38:52All right.
38:52Now you're just making me look stupid.
38:54It's not that niche.
38:55My mom had a brain tumor for about eight months before she passed away.
39:00She always loved everything I did that was even, like, kind of out there.
39:03She, like, she was so supportive.
39:05And me moving to Ireland, she was the one who was like, you should absolutely do it, you know?
39:09Repeat the name of the book.
39:11Never Let Me Go.
39:12Never Let Me Go by...
39:13Kazuo Ishiguro.
39:14They're clones, but it's a sad book.
39:19Oh, that's the one where they, like, use their bits and other people's bits.
39:23I have heard of this.
39:24Yeah.
39:25Their bits are for sale.
39:27Their bits are for sale.
39:28Bits are for sale.
39:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:28They put the bits in the other bits and then...
39:30And then they die.
39:31Then they die.
39:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:32I haven't read it in years.
39:33Like, maybe I'd read it and think it was shit now.
39:35I don't.
39:35Yeah.
39:37Sometimes you do need to revisit the same place to figure out how much you've changed.
39:41Wow.
39:42That's very touching.
39:49So, I'm now an auntie.
39:51Really?
39:52He's only four days old.
39:54Four days as well.
39:55He's so small.
39:56He's growing by the minute.
39:58Four days.
39:58He's so new as well.
39:59Like, it's...
39:59Like, yeah, like, he's really new.
40:01He's precious.
40:02Yeah, he's gorgeous, like.
40:03So, who's your brother?
40:05No, my sister.
40:06So, it's just me, my sister, and my mom at home.
40:08So, yeah.
40:09He's gonna grow and be like, Jesus Christ, I'm surrounded by women.
40:12What's it like for me?
40:14I have three sisters.
40:15They definitely were in charge of the house.
40:18But I would still get away with everything and still be the favourite.
40:21Do you get it?
40:23I kinda do.
40:24Yeah.
40:25You know, oh my God, I love him so much.
40:27Like, I literally love him like he's my own child.
40:41I know.
40:42I'm looking for it now.
40:43But it's something that I, like, I can't wait for.
40:46I suppose, like, it's the milestones, isn't it?
40:48Like, because it was only my mom and me.
40:50Like, obviously, you go through these milestones and being like, God, like, I wish my dad was
40:54there.
40:56And what happened with your dad, if you don't mind me asking?
40:59So, when I was, I think I was 12, he had a stroke.
41:05And my mom found him.
41:07And he was rushed to hospital.
41:09And then he was in ICU for a long time.
41:11And then he went to rehab for a few months.
41:13He lost the power of his right arm and his left leg.
41:16But they got him to be able to put himself in a wheelchair.
41:20And they got him his speech back, not completely.
41:24But he never got the capacity back, his brain capacity.
41:28So, he ended up in a nursing home.
41:30And then he passed away when I was 17.
41:32It's tough.
41:33That's really tough.
41:34It's tough.
41:34But, like, you're so resilient when you're younger.
41:36Like, you kind of just go into overdrive when you're that young.
41:39You don't even think about it.
41:40But when you stop when you're older and you're like, God, like, that actually has really shaped
41:44me as a person.
41:45You know, it's tough.
41:47But, like, now that there's a baby involved, you're kind of like, God, like, this is life.
41:51You know?
41:51Yeah.
41:58And did you, like, speak English before you came to Ireland?
42:00Oh, yeah, I did.
42:01Yeah, yeah.
42:01Because your English is, like, perfect.
42:04Do you speak Irish?
42:06Well, we learned at school, yeah.
42:07Like, but I haven't, I don't speak regularly.
42:10But I'm okay.
42:12Yeah, but I'm okay is, like, the people that say, oh, I speak Spanish.
42:15And they say, hola, que tal.
42:16I can have a bit of a conversation.
42:18Okay.
42:18But I say, like, kind of start to you.
42:20How are you?
42:22I'm Dara, I'm done.
42:25It's my long.
42:28I'm, I'm data.
42:29The date, maybe.
42:30This date.
42:31I'm enjoying this date.
42:32Okay.
42:32Of course, that's good.
42:33That's important.
42:34We're here to have fun.
42:35That's the important thing.
42:37Yeah.
42:38Oh, just gonna pop this here.
42:39Oh, thank you.
42:40I'm gonna get that, by the way.
42:41Oh, no, we could share.
42:42We could share.
42:43Yeah, no.
42:43We're not gonna have an argument on live television.
42:45But really, I'm not that like it, really.
42:47I know, I know, but I wanna get it.
42:49Please let me.
42:49Okay.
42:52First impression, I thought she looked amazing.
42:54And getting chatting to her, she seemed really nice.
42:57Did you fancy her?
42:59Absolutely.
43:06So, would you guys like to see each other again romantically?
43:12I can go first.
43:14I think, as a friend, yes.
43:17But I think romantically, maybe not.
43:19I mean, I have a lovely date.
43:21I have a lovely time.
43:22But I don't think there was that spark, maybe.
43:25But, yeah.
43:26Yeah, I'd have a lovely night.
43:28Like, I would have said, it would have been a yes for me, but...
43:31So, that's fine.
43:32I pretty respect that.
43:34You know, you gotta have that spark and stuff like that.
43:36Yeah, yeah.
43:37But I think I have a great time.
43:38Thank you so much.
43:39Thank you very much.
43:40Pleasure to have you.
43:41It's been great to have you both.
43:42Thanks again.
43:42We tried to get along, lovely.
43:44But, yeah.
43:45It was something missing on that conversation, right?
43:50How he pays.
43:51Yeah.
43:52I always would do that anyway, so...
43:53I don't know, but I always...
43:55I know you wanted to, but...
43:56No, I wanted to pay for it, honestly.
44:00Safe home.
44:00Have a great night.
44:02I didn't feel there was any awkward moments.
44:05For me, there definitely wasn't.
44:06I definitely enjoyed just kind of getting to know her and chatting, you know.
44:10I had a really nice time.
44:21Yeah, I, I...
44:23Are you sure we can go splitsies?
44:24I can get it.
44:25You get the next one.
44:26I felt relaxed.
44:27I felt chilled out.
44:28I hope that she did as well.
44:30Perfect.
44:31Thank you very much.
44:33All good?
44:33Thanks.
44:34All good.
44:35Lovely.
44:35Lovely.
44:36He was very funny and very nice.
44:38Like, it was very easy to talk to him.
44:39Like, very personable.
44:41After you.
44:41Oh.
44:43Wow.
44:44Any jackets?
44:45Mine is just over there.
44:46The one, the black one with the orange inside.
44:49Hello.
44:50Well.
44:51Here we are again.
44:52Best of luck.
44:53Cheers.
44:53All the best now.
44:55Yeah, straight ahead.
44:56Straight ahead.
44:58Would you like to see each other again romantically?
45:04Yeah.
45:06I'm not sure.
45:07I think no.
45:09That's fair enough.
45:10I'm sorry.
45:11I had a lovely time though.
45:13Oh, good.
45:13We had a great chat.
45:14No, I think we had a really good chat.
45:15Yeah, I was laughing.
45:16You should be a stand-up comedian.
45:19Sorry.
45:21Right, so...
45:22This is, this is the end.
45:23Did you have a lovely...
45:24I actually, I did.
45:24You made me feel very calm and like relaxed and I really appreciate that.
45:28Good.
45:29Good.
45:29It was a lovely time.
45:30It was actually, yeah.
45:31The initial thing was more friendly.
45:34For sure.
45:35And we will...
45:36Pleasure.
45:36Stay in touch.
45:38We'll stay in touch.
45:38Yeah.
45:40Do you crack it or what do you do?
45:42I think we're, yeah, we're supposed to crack it.
45:46It's actually really good.
45:48Ooh.
45:54Are you happy?
45:55Yeah?
45:56Happy with the date?
45:57I'm very happy.
45:58I'm very confident I'm going to say yes.
46:00What I was going to say now, I don't...
46:01I'd be panicking so much.
46:08Erm...
46:08Do you know what I was going to say?
46:10I'm just...
46:11I've taken your words away.
46:12I do a little bit.
46:13I like that.
46:20Let's go Hobbs.
46:21Are you sure?
46:24Okay, I don't...
46:25I'm okay.
46:25Yeah?
46:26Is that what you're saying?
46:26No?
46:28I didn't say that.
46:32Okay, so would you guys like to see each other again romantically?
46:38You were raised.
46:39I would, yeah.
46:41Yeah, I would.
46:47Do you want to just do it down the middle?
46:49Yeah.
46:50Yeah.
46:50Perfect.
46:51She's really, really pretty.
