25:44i've never felt comfortable with my skin
25:46i've never actually wanted to be here
25:48once i had started drinking
25:51i just fell in love instantly

26:00the way i felt you know

33:14You know what they say

33:18And it's true
33:19Up to a point

33:21Yeah
33:21Would you like a taste?
33:23Hmm

33:49Awww

33:52No, I'm not gonna feed you
33:53I forgot
33:54Oh, feed me, fuck it
33:55Really?
33:56I don't know what I'm doing
33:57I don't know what I'm doing
33:58This is shocking
33:59You don't even do this
34:00I never do it
34:01I'm gonna feed you
34:02You're gonna feed me
34:03You're gonna feed me?
34:09Feeding and holding hands
34:11Oh, my God
34:12Give me your hand
34:15You've got nice hands
34:16Oh, honey today
34:17Yeah, only for that
34:19You know
34:20If your lady is into this kind of game
34:21It's a problem, you know
34:23Never know I'm a decade
34:26No, I can't say that
34:29I was gonna say how crazy it would be if we kissed
34:32Wouldn't be too wild
34:36When you kiss me, fever
34:38When you hold me tight
34:41Fever
34:42In the morning
34:43Jesus, why don't my mother take me?
34:48Public displays of affection
34:50They're not for everyone
34:52Thankfully for the sake of both their mummies
34:54Sorcha was just happy to admire Jennifer
34:57As Jennifer admired the view
35:02Gorgeous eyes
35:06Stop it
35:07Yeah, you're looking good
35:08Thank you
35:09Like a snack
35:10Yeah
35:11Dessert
35:13My mom killed me
35:14I need to behave
35:14Because my mother was like
35:15You two better not be fucking talking dirty
35:17My sister said don't kiss and tell you
35:19Oh, my friends all said do kiss
35:21They were like
35:21If we don't see you shifting in the smoking area
35:23It's a fail
35:25If there's a vibe and it comes naturally
35:27I don't think there's anything wrong with having a kiss
35:29I don't think so either
35:33You could definitely feel the chemistry between us
35:35My glasses are steaming up now and everything
35:38Romeo love you
35:39Just enjoy the views like
35:40You know what I mean?
35:41Some view
35:42Some view babes
35:45Yeah, okay fair
35:46He is a hottie
35:47I can't, I can't
35:48You know that one
35:49All the good things are illegal, immoral or they make you fat
35:52Isn't that the song?
35:53That's perfect, isn't that so true
35:56I'm definitely prudish in ways
35:58Even though I'm very open-minded
36:00It's like the Catholic Church teaching comes up in your mind all the time
36:05I think we're kind of slightly coming out of it
36:08But sex is taboo, taboo, taboo
36:10I keep saying we're a strange species but we're all similar
36:13Absolutely
36:15Everyone has the same feelings, emotions
36:18I love sex
36:20Of course I do, I'm human
36:22I love to just enjoy life
36:24You have to
36:27We're romantic and physical I would really like
36:29Definitely
36:30I have the energy
36:33Here's to that song
36:35Cheers
36:38Hello
36:39Hi, what's up?
36:42There are some things you just can't say in front of your date
36:46Like how your date is going
36:48Of course you can always phone a friend
36:51Or alternatively, ask an expert
36:54He didn't agree as you know
36:55No he didn't, that's exactly what I wanted
36:57And that's cool
36:58Yes
36:58Let me show you the real marriage
37:01Say no more
37:03It's been ten years since this hair was messy, isn't it?
37:06It has to
37:07It's been ten years since I hit a headboard anyway
37:11I feel like he's maybe looking for something a little bit more kind of serious
37:15A little bit more, you know
37:17Like commissive
37:19Commogamous
37:19Commogamous
37:21Commogamous
37:22That's it, I'm going with it
37:24How are you getting on?
37:25Happy also
37:26Very good
37:27The matchmakers have done a good job
37:29I'm sorry
37:29I thought his brother was in Bora B and his sister in the Parker was this year
37:34What are the chances?
37:36Genuinely, what are the chances?
37:38I'd be terrified to talk to her if I saw her in the nightclub
37:40Really?
37:40But yeah, yeah
37:41I don't think I'd have the balls to talk to her
37:44Yeah, but now that I'm here, 100%
37:46Oh my god, he's so fucking cool
37:48And like I swear like five minutes in we were already talking about marriage
37:52He is so funny
37:54He's going to the bathroom, yeah
37:56Is he?
37:57Yeah
37:57You look gorgeous
37:57Are you a star?
37:58I am
37:59Georgina
38:00How are you Georgina?
38:01I'm just saying he's very, very nice your father
38:05Yes
38:05Very nice
38:06I'm glad
38:06I'm glad
38:08How's it going with it?
38:09It's going good
38:10Yeah, I know it is going good
38:11He's in love
38:11He does know what to do
38:13He's pitching a tent in his pants and everything
38:16He can't be saying them things
38:19We met great people anyway I think
38:21Both of the lads are lovely
38:23We got lucky didn't we?
38:25Yeah
38:26Be gentlemanly
38:27Offer her some of your dessert
38:29Be a gentlemanly
38:30I mean stay gentlemanly
38:32Quick fire
38:33Yes, no
38:35I think so
38:36Or
38:36You think potential
38:37Maybe
38:38Yes
38:40I think she's lovely, yeah
38:41Oh, I love it
38:42That's what we want to hear
38:43I'll leave you keep chatting
38:44I see the four of us going after this
38:46I don't think so
38:47I didn't even go back
38:48I think so
38:48There was definitely like no awkward really moments
38:51John, take a seat
38:53I feel like usually I'm really good at thinking like what they're thinking
38:56But I actually cannot tell
38:59No
38:59I'm really embarrassed to say it's going good in case he doesn't think it's going good
39:03I'd say he thinks it's going good as well
39:06Mmmmm
39:07No real awkwardness again
39:09Nice lips
39:09I don't really shut up anyway
39:10So
39:12She seems like she talks a lot as well
39:13She has a lot of energy as well
39:15Yeah, so it's nice
39:15Is he getting your sense of humour?
39:17I don't know
39:18Not a lot of people get my sense of humour
39:20I think that's why I'm single
39:21Yeah
39:21I didn't feel like
39:22He was overly excited about me being at the table
39:26Would she be your normal type?
39:29Have you seen her?
39:30She's gone
39:31She's gone
39:32Oh yeah
39:33This girl is amazing
39:36She makes bread
39:37She likes fantasy books
39:40She's a marine biologist
39:41Super hot
39:42She is absolutely stunning
39:44She is a 10 out of 10, Leah
39:45She is perfect
39:47Well, I'm glad nobody's really losing their cool
39:49No, nobody's losing their cool
39:53Yeah, I enjoyed it
39:53I enjoyed the company as well
39:55Cool
39:55Cool
39:55This is going well
39:58Yeah, there's no quiet moments
40:01He's into mountain biking
40:02And he's also loving his freedom and stuff
40:05It's just not my type
40:08I hope it's not going to be awkward later on
40:10You know, when we do like
40:12Do you want to see each other romantically again?
40:15Maybe just be like
40:16Oh, he was super nice
40:17And I really liked him
40:18But no spark
40:19Can I say that?
40:21Can you please lift the bill?
40:23I will
40:23That's a fair thing to do now
40:25Oh, we're okay
40:27No!
40:29If he wants to pay, then okay?
40:32Ah, yes
40:34The paying of the bill
40:35A revealing transaction
40:37Highly significant
40:38To split
40:40Or not to split
40:42Who pays the bill?
40:44That question
40:45That old nutshell
40:46That comes around every year
40:48All I wanna do
40:49Is
40:52I'm gonna
40:52Take your money
40:53If you have no intention of seeing somebody again
40:55I think you should split the bill
40:56We're gonna do 70 each
40:58Lovely
40:58Is that okay?
40:59Absolutely
40:59Thanks
41:00I didn't feel there was a lot of flirting
41:03You know
41:04Are we split it?
41:05No
41:05Are you sure?
41:06I'm positive
41:06Off-fashioned, I like this
41:08Off-fashioned, that's it
41:09If you pay or you don't
41:11For me there is no splitting
41:12Yeah
41:12That's a big dollar
41:14Do you not go half?
41:15No
41:15Why?
41:16Do you think I'm somebody else?
41:20I'm absolutely not
41:21No, I've got it
41:22I would never ever take a girl arm
41:23And make her pay
41:24You're joking
41:25I would've paid half
41:26Like I actually don't
41:27That doesn't bother me at all
41:29Can we split the bill?
41:32I'm gonna pay for all of it, alright?
41:33Alright, alright
41:34Yeah, I'd rather do that
41:35My Irish friend told me
41:36Not to argue
41:37Don't, yeah
41:38Cause it just ends up being
41:40Desperate
41:40The awkwardness is worse
41:41Than just sitting there going
41:42Oh, just let me get this
41:43You know, all the time
41:44You know
41:45This is not awkward
41:47Why is it awkward?
41:48Not at all
41:49He's made this very easy for you
41:50Perfect
41:51Awesome
41:52It was like
41:53That's an arm
41:54I'm like
41:55Dublin fellas take no
41:56Are we happy to settle up?
41:58Yeah
41:58Yes please
41:59No, we split it
42:01I can pay for it
42:02I don't mind
42:04No, we split it
42:07I would really like to see him again
42:09Yeah, I would like to see him again as well
42:12I thought you were going to say no
42:14Really?
42:14I thought you were going to say no
42:16Because when I offered to pay the bill
42:17You were like
42:17No, no, no, we'll split it
42:18We'll split it
42:19And I was like
42:19Oh, okay
42:20I see
42:20I was
42:20Thank you
42:24Thank you very much
42:26I want to have a look at that
42:27And see how much it is
42:28There's no hurry
42:31He's a lovely man
42:32I think he was interested in some of the things I was interested in
42:36I think he was interested in some of the things I was interested in
42:52I think he was interested in some of the things I was interested in
43:04I thought women didn't have money
43:05Now I know women do have money
43:07But he didn't even offer
43:08Can we split it?
43:10Of course
43:10Please
43:11It shows a lot about his character to me
43:16Would you like to see each other romantically again?
43:20I wouldn't
43:22Particularly
43:23I wouldn't jump at it
43:24Yeah
43:26Yeah, I agree
43:28I totally agree
43:29I totally agree
43:29Shoo-bee-do-bee-wop-wop-doo-doo
43:34Negative feedback
43:36Some daters could see it coming
43:38Others would only learn the truth when it was too late
43:43Letting go
43:44Would you like to see each other again?
43:46Oh my god, you're going straight for it
43:48Straight for it
43:48Straight for it
43:49That's going to be so cringe
43:50I would, yes
43:53Start to slip down
43:54Oh no
43:59I don't think I would
44:01We were disappointed so many times
44:03That's true
44:04That's true
44:04That's very true
44:05They're like, oh, this is being written
44:06Yeah
44:07There's a lot of that to happen
44:12The best first dinner day I've ever been on
44:14You've never been on a fucking dinner day before, so shut up
44:17Like, and you set the bar
44:20Erm
44:22I don't know if there was like
44:23A lot of chemistry going on
44:26Okay
44:27Thanks
44:28There was no spark
44:29Yeah, yeah
44:30It's very hard to find a spark like immediately anywhere
44:33The spark wasn't there, huh?
44:39That's it, you know
44:40That's life
44:41I don't like
44:43Being in situations with
44:45People like me
44:47Like you?
44:48Yeah, people like me
44:48You're a little bit
44:49A little bit wild
44:51A little bit wild
44:51Can people that are calmer than you
44:53handle you?
44:54No
44:59I would say
45:00We'd be gone as friends
45:02Would you agree?
45:04Yeah
45:04Yeah?
45:04What are you going to make a showy everywhere we go?
45:08It was a very nice evening
45:10So I would love to kind of get to know you better on a friendship level
45:13If that's alright
45:14Felt the same kind of
45:15Yeah
45:16Yeah
45:19Still
45:20For every no there was a
45:22Well, you know
45:27Sounds like you do a lot of traveling
45:28Sounds like you do a lot of traveling
45:29So you
45:30Perhaps some
45:30You know
45:31If we were to have a second date
45:33And beyond
45:33It's something that we could do together
45:36It just started to feel comfortable
45:39Feel right
45:41When you know you know
45:41So what does it feel like to know?
45:44You can't describe it
45:46It's something just clicks inside
45:47It's like a puzzle
45:47And the piece goes together
45:48And it just makes sense
45:50It just feels right
45:51Like I wouldn't have any
45:52At the moment
45:53Have any reason to go up to Dublin
45:55Yeah
45:58Now you do
45:59Yeah
46:01Didn't feel like a first day
46:03I suppose
46:03Which is the best thing
46:04You can sleep on a sofa
46:05In my friend's house
46:06Which is where I'm sleeping tonight
46:08Sure
46:08Is their house accessible?
46:11No
46:13Didn't think so
46:14My house is
46:15Yeah
46:17It was easy
46:18It was very easy
46:19There was no awkward silence
46:21No
46:21Four people you have to impress
46:22Before I can say it
46:23My ma
46:24My nanny
46:25Alex
46:25My best friend
46:27And me, Andy
46:27Why don't we meet them?
46:28Give no ring though
46:29We'll meet them somewhere now
46:30Get it all out of the fuck away
46:32He was like
46:33My man wants to speak to you
46:34And I was like
46:35Really?
46:35Cause like my man wants to speak to you
46:37So what helps?
46:37So we gave each other
46:39Each of his phones
46:39What's the crack?
46:41How are you?
46:42How are you?
46:43Yeah
46:43How are you?
46:44How are you?
46:45How are you?
46:46How are you?
46:46How are you?
46:46Your son's a lovely young play
46:48Yeah, daughter's gorgeous isn't she?
46:50What's your name?
46:51Yeah, we're still on a name
46:52I'll be all over the camera
46:53I know
46:54You're going to get you a few seconds of fame
46:58Yeah
46:59That's the first hurdle
47:00Do you know, man?
47:01You meet the Maya
47:01What happened like?
47:04You can never tell
47:05How a first date will go
47:07Or
47:08What will happen next?
47:10But there's one thing
47:11You can be sure of
47:12Nothing
47:13Gets in the way
47:14Of true love
47:16What's going on?
47:16What's going on here?
47:17Mary said
47:18Experience over the youth
47:19So off I go
47:21I want to be
47:22The one you got
47:24He made me feel comfortable
47:25And I'm really grateful for that
47:27Shall we all see each other again anyway?
47:33It definitely ticks all boxes of their number
47:36You fucking match me
47:37I'm not
47:37Do you guys want to see each other again romantically?
47:40Ladies first
47:41I think so
47:42Yeah
47:42Hell yeah
47:47Oh, that was beautiful it was
47:49You still have it
47:51What was there will always be there
47:52You were very, very well matched weren't we?
47:57She kind of ticked all those boxes definitely
47:59So I knew that maybe within the first 30 seconds
48:01You guys fancy each other?
48:03Yeah
48:06I want to see you
48:09Thank you so much
48:11See you
48:11I feel like I had a smile on my face the whole time
48:13And still
48:15There's a lot to explore there
48:17And I think we should go for a drink now
48:18Keep talking
48:19I'm really glad we met
48:21This is something special
48:22A hundred percent yes
48:23A thousand percent
48:25Yes
48:27I think she is spectacular
48:29Yeah you do
48:29Yes I do
48:33The day continues
48:34I think so
48:36Where will your second date be?
48:38I'll be close to my home
48:39In my short
48:41Put it to make it easy
48:42And bring it in your lap
48:48Oh
48:49She's too
48:49She
48:53I just love you I love you
48:54I just think like you have to be grounded a little bit
