00:01This...
00:01Romance.
00:02...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.
00:24You've 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.
00:37Score!
00:39None of these daters know what to expect.
00:42I'm in a village all moth.
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
01:28ditz.
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 let me like this.
01:46And when you hold me like that, you will start with me.
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.
02:14You're ready.
02:14You look lovely.
02:15Yeah, thank you.
02:16But it's always a bit nerve-wracking meeting new people and hoping that they like me and
02:20hoping I like them.
02:21So 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.
02:29So 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.
02:40And 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?
02:51He's really, like, fun person, outgoing, has a good head on his shoulders, confident
02:55in himself, 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, it's
03:21like 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 and building my community.
03:35It's actually quite amazing.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Yeah.
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.
03:47Get ready now, go, can't go, but don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
03:53Thank you very much.
03:55Is what Connor might say to his guitar.
03:59Is that trapped up?
04:00Sometimes.
04:01With the guitar, that's just a cheat code there, isn't it?
04:04Only play on them shoes and don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
04:08I 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.
04:14I 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.
04:25What do you want?
04:26You ready to go?
04:27I'm ready, man.
04:28Yeah.
04:28Let's go.
04:29Anybody that knows me knows that I don't go on dates.
04:33Blind dates are scary as it is.
04:36You made it.
04:36You brought someone.
04:37Yes, I did.
04:38How are you?
04:38Hey, how are you?
04:39Nice to meet you, Connor.
04:40Lovely to meet you, Mariah.
04:43Where did you come from?
04:44I live in Dublin.
04:45Yeah, how about you?
04:46I came from Galway.
04:48Oh, lovely.
04:48Yeah, yeah.
04:49I've been to Galway a good few times.
04:50Like it?
04:51Yeah, 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 not 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 or...?
05:13Oh, no, absolutely not.
05:15I just date my dog.
05:17I just date myself, so...
05:20I know that sounded really bad.
05:22I mean, I mean, I don't date.
05:25I don't date, so...
05:30Well, how are we getting on?
05:32Some people merely claim to be old school romantics.
05:38Said 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.
06:07Nope.
06:09It's a trick.
06:10It's a trick, man.
06:11I got tricked.
06:12How are you getting on?
06:13Mister.
06:14Your name?
06:14Said.
06:15Mateo, nice to meet you, Said.
06:16Absolute pleasure.
06:17Where are you coming from?
06:18Uh, Ranley.
06:19Hey, I used to live in Northern like, oh, seven, eight years, yeah.
06:22It's gorgeous, isn't it?
06:23Yeah, it's beautiful.
06:24My favourite part of Dublin.
06:25Ranley's expensive, eh?
06:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:28I live in the tiniest box room ever, so, you know,
06:30we 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,
06:35but 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.
06:41Respect.
06:42He's in love with you now.
06:43Good, 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.
06:49I just find it's a great way of getting to know someone better
06:53and delivering some kind of rapport.
06:56It's not like, if I'm there telling jokes and being funny,
06:58like, they won't know I'm shivering inside, like...
07:02We have, like, the most rubbish little box rooms
07:05with 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, why can't we just all cuddle?
07:24You know, if I was there, I would.
07:25I'd be like, yeah, no problem, it'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 gaff
07:37and we're just sitting on this sofa 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 we were 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.
08:11I don't mind.
08:13They've just got kind of like an endearing sort of look to them
08:16or like some kind of charm or spark.
08:22I can be kind of silly and goofy, which I enjoy being.
08:25But 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.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Hello.
08:33Nice to meet you.
08:34Beautiful.
08:35What's your name?
08:35Zaza.
08:36Zaza?
08:36Is that a short for something?
08:38Sure for Alexandra.
08:39Alexandra.
08:40Okay.
08:41Alex.
08:41In Croatia, we would call you Alex.
08:43Yes, yes.
08:44In the U.S. too, we call me Alex.
08:46But I'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
08:53here.
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.
09:00Yeah.
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.
09:14Nice to meet you.
09:14Are we going?
09:15What are we doing?
09:16Yeah, I think we're going.
09:16We'll do it on.
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.
09:22You look good yourself.
09:24You won't bear for lack.
09:24Yeah.
09:25How are you feeling?
09:27I'm a little nervous.
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 U.S. Arizona.
09:38I guess the U.S.
09:40Bring in a bit of culture.
09:41Culture, yes.
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.
09:59A creative person, yeah.
10:01How long have you got left until you're...
10:03My thesis is due on Friday.
10:05Due on Friday?
10:06It's due on Friday.
10:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:07Thank you very much.
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.
10:16Let's finish.
10:16Just a thesis now, yeah.
10:20So, how long have you been in...?
10:22Ireland.
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 when you...
10:33Yeah, it was strange.
10:34Like, for me, like, half my family's in England.
10:37Half of them are here.
10:37Yeah.
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.
10:47I, 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.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:55Yeah, yeah.
10:56They're like, yeah, I know, it's pretty cool.
10:58I grew up in music, so, like, my dad is a guitarist,
11:01and 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
11:09is so good that I just felt at home.
11:12Do you sing in pubs across Galway?
11:14Yeah, yeah, the west coast of Ireland, yeah.
11:16Oh, my God.
11:1760s, 70s stuff, you know, like Eagles?
11:19Oh, yeah.
11:20Creedence Clearwater, like...
11:21Wait, oh, is that them?
11:21I don't know.
11:23You've seen the ring.
11:24Oh, there we are, getting the voice out now.
11:27Give me more points then, they'll come.
11:30Would you do Irish tunes, or, like...
11:32Not Irish stuff, especially my accent.
11:34Yeah, I was going to say, they must hate you.
11:37Get off the stage, that's why they're booing you.
11:45I'm sorry, I 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 Alexander, but everyone calls me Zaza.
11:55Everyone calls you Zaza.
11:56Yes.
11:57That.
11:57And...
11:58I was Zaza before it was a term for weed.
12:01Before it was Zaza.
12:02Just to be clear.
12:03Yeah.
12:03That good.
12:03I'm the original.
12:04And 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.
12:15We're getting more formal as it goes on.
12:16Yeah, exactly.
12:17Will I just send you like an invite to like a team's meeting?
12:19Yeah, that's fine.
12:20Yeah.
12:21That's all good.
12:21Yeah.
12:22I could do anything for a first date.
12:24All that matters is sort of getting to know the person.
12:26I could go for a walk, I could go for a drink.
12:27I like to think I'm very sort of flexible and open-minded.
12:31So...
12:32What do you do?
12:33I didn't ask that.
12:34What 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 today.
12:45Yeah.
12:45Yeah, no, no, no.
12:46I could piss some people off sometimes.
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.
13:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:05No, it's okay.
13:06Backtrack.
13:07It's okay.
13:07You can ask me that.
13:09I 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.
13:26Timeline of my entire life.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Is 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 it.
13:34You already asked me where I'm really from, so...
13:35I did actually, to be fair.
13:37You said so?
13:37To be fair.
13:38So I said I'm from Cavera and you said where are you really from?
13:40Nah, but actually like...
13:40You didn't say that.
13:41I was born in a place called Azerbaijan.
13:44Okay.
13:45But like...
13:45Know it?
13:46Yeah.
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...
13:54You know, the maps.
13:57From the maps?
13:58Also I'm an F1 fan.
14:00And there's a...
14:00Are you?
14:01Race there?
14:02Is there a...
14:02There's a Grand Prix there.
14:04Yes.
14:04Yes, I thought so.
14:05Me and my dad both love Formula One.
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 other
14:15about it.
14:15We have races there.
14:17Yeah.
14:17Yeah.
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.
14:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
14:40no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:40There are two sides to Luciana and they're both a bit tasty.
14:46If you were a food type, what would you be?
14:50Ooh, sweet 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.
15:07He could have been a serial killer.
15:12I was with him for four years.
15:14And then when I separate, I said, well, I'm going to stay.
15:20Look at you.
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, that wants to do things with me.
15:45If it'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.
15:57I mean, that's why we are here today, right?
15:59Exactly.
16:00How do you find Irish men?
16:05Oh, they are gorgeous, I have to say.
16:07Some 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.
16:19But then it's like we're on a stage that it's like opposites attracts.
16:22Yeah.
16:23This is too opposite.
16:24It's too opposite.
16:25I talk.
16:33Back in Sivis after 20 years in the army, Dara is still doing his bit for the United Nations.
16:40I'm looking for someone who is happy, outgoing and fun.
16:47I'm divorced three years and I've been dating Tinder, dating around.
16:52I had a relationship with a Brazilian woman, a relationship with a Polish woman.
16:57You know, I've met a lot of nice people, but I just haven't met, like, the one, I suppose.
17:03Mateo, nice to meet you, Dara.
17:04Yeah, it's a pleasure to meet you.
17:05It's a pleasure to meet you.
17:06Yeah.
17:06Well done, buddy.
17:07I'm just here for romance.
17:09I've got my rose.
17:10I'm looking forward to meeting my date.
17:11Believe me, when I show you your date, you're going to be happy.
17:14If you don't have this chance, I'm after you.
17:17Okay.
17:17I got it.
17:18Let's do it.
17:18You'll make me proud then.
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.
17:33Hi.
17:33How are you?
17:34How are you?
17:34Oh, thank you.
17:35Nice to meet you.
17:36Nice to meet you.
17:37How are you?
17:38Great.
17:39Would you like a drink?
17:40I would love a drink.
17:40I love a whiskey sour.
17:41Whiskey sour.
17:42Coming up.
17:43Nice.
17:43So, I like your tattoos.
17:44Look at all those tattoos.
17:45Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:46Yeah, 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...
17:54Yeah.
17:58Um, so, did you travel far?
18:00How is you came here?
18:01Yeah, I just got the bus, so...
18:02Oh, the bus.
18:03Okay, good.
18:04Yeah.
18:04Yeah.
18:05I came on the Lewis.
18:06It's like the same.
18:07It's not that spot afar.
18:09Yeah.
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, so...
18:25Oh, okay.
18:26I'm happy.
18:27That's good.
18:31Oh, yeah.
18:41So...
18:51We live on the farm.
18:53In...
18:53Connemara.
18:54My family home.
18:55Oh, really?
18:55Yeah, you know, it lands, we used to have chickens.
18:57What do I do with them?
18:58Do they lay eggs?
18:59They all died.
19:00They all died.
19:02Why?
19:03That's so sad.
19:03Badger.
19:04Road badger.
19:05What?
19:06A badger ate them.
19:07What's a badger?
19:09Do you know what a badger is?
19:10Oh.
19:12Never heard of a badger?
19:13No.
19:14You know, like, uh...
19:15How do I spin a badger?
19:18How do I spin a badger?
19:21Um...
19:22Do you know, like, a fox?
19:23Yeah, of course I know foxes, yeah.
19:24It's similar to a fox, but they're, like, more aggressive.
19:28What's an animal?
19:29I thought it was, like, a car rage or something.
19:30Oh!
19:30Like a badger.
19:31It's an animal, isn't it?
19:32I'll show you a badger.
19:33Okay, okay.
20:02Um...
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
20:13be 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, I 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, like...
20:42Okay, what dancing?
20:43Uh, like, fojo, like, Brazilian.
20:44Fojo, okay.
20:44Like, Brazilian fojo.
20:46I go to this dance studio, like, multiple times a week, basically.
20:49Which is 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.
20:58Yeah, like, honestly, like, feel sexy and dancing and, you know, not feel embarrassed about it and
21:03stuff.
21:09When I was two years old, myself and my parents moved here.
21:13Okay.
21:13Eventually settled down in Dublin.
21:15In Sauron.
21:15In Sauron.
21:16Famously.
21:17Well, see, this is the thing.
21:19This is the thing.
21:19I say Sauron, but, like, we moved from place to place to place to place to place to place constantly.
21:24Okay, okay, okay, yeah.
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.
21:37The only reason I say Sauron 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.
21:55I became a pharmacist.
21:56Which you are, currently.
21:57Which I currently am.
21:57Yes.
21:58I was working in a pharmacy in Kulak 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.
22:28It 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.
22:46And 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.
22:56Really?
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.
23:03Prince.
23:03And 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.
23:18What's it like to perform?
23:19Like, you know, say you're not working, you've got a weekend yourself, you can do anything you want.
23:23Well, I do, like, the same dancing.
23:26I do, like, um, heels, pole dancing heels.
23:29Oh, yeah, 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 going?
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, so I've been too long.
24:01Well, one long and the other one not that long.
24:03Um, but I entered a relationship, it 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 ports.
24:15Yeah, like, it was very tough because it was all the same day.
24:19Like, that's life.
24:20Also, it's acknowledging, right, like, sometimes maybe it's me.
24:24So, that I'm going on the wrong way or doing the wrong thing.
24:28You know, like, I don't know, awareness of, okay, it's not only the other person,
24:32because it's easy to blame the other.
24:33That's the communication thing, though, isn't it?
24:35Yeah, yeah.
24:36Oh, yeah.
24:37So, you're just enjoying being single at the moment, and...
24:39Oh, no, I was focusing more on myself, like, uh...
24:41Oh, it's true.
24:42Yeah.
24:42It's important to be happy on your, by yourself.
24:45By, yeah.
24:46But it's a bit, it means...
24:47Yeah, no 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,
25:05and then the end of the night always 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,
25:33but I don't know, in the century, is it going to happen?
25:36Yeah, you look lovely.
25:37Thank you very much.
25:39I'd like a gentleman, you know, somebody who's not cocky,
25:42can have the crack, but also is, 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, me last year, like, would never have applied for this.
25:54Really, what changed?
25:55I broke up with my ex, I moved out of home,
25:59I started a new job, and I said, this is just the cherry on top.
26:02I'm just trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.
26:05Good, fair play.
26:06Oh, God, like, 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 them, 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, Tom.
26:36Oh, nice to meet you.
26:36Oh, nice to meet you, Tom.
26:37How are you?
26:38I'm in the easiest spot.
26:40How are you?
26:40I'm nervous.
26:41I'm fine.
26:42What is it that you are looking for?
26:45I want to find the love of my life.
26:47I 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.
26:55Fiona, nice to meet you.
26:57Where are you from?
26:57Kildare.
26:58Grant, Grant.
26:59Yeah, Kildare, but living in Fingerless.
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.
27:09I 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.
27:16So, I work at the minute with adults with intellectual disability, so I work for a disability
27:21service.
27:22I actually love it so much.
27:24I used to do nursing.
27:26Did you?
27:27Yeah.
27:27What type of nursing did you do?
27:29I do.
27:30Stop.
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 centers.
27:38My last job, I used to climb, like, radio towers.
27:41Oh, my God.
27:42That's bizarre.
27:43So, you go from nursing to, like, you know, scaling buildings.
27:48That's bizarre.
27:51Bill.
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.
28:00That'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 broke, quickly just broke up with
28:17her.
28:17Cool.
28:18Yeah.
28:18Kind of this, I'll get back with her tomorrow.
28:20Clear the roster.
28:20Yeah.
28:21Clear the roster.
28:23Yeah.
28:23No, no, no.
28:24I've been single for a year and.
28:27A year and change.
28:28A year and change.
28:30Yeah.
28:31I'd want him to be someone I could have a laugh with, you know, maybe split a bottle
28:34of wine, 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.
28:55As long as you 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.
29:10Mmm.
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 had a relationships.
29:22Yeah.
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.
29:29Like, we 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
29:42because you feel like it's the right thing to do, you know.
29:45Yeah, you're like what?
29:45Good 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 at
30:06least say hello or come up with a pick-up line.
30:08Whereas, like, on dating apps here, like, I match with people and I'm like, it's a ghost town.
30:12Well, I've downloaded it a few times for, like, just to see.
30:16But I've never gone on an online date.
30:18Like, I'm not as confident as you think I am.
30:20Are you not?
30:20No, 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.
30:38But I brought my friend Meg, who was visiting me from Canada to Galway.
30:41And we went to a few pubs, went to one that played music.
30:43It was really, really nice.
30:44It was you that was playing.
30:46Who knows?
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.
30:52I'm like, like, damn.
30:53I've seen it.
30:54I know his voice.
31:01I 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.
31:13Oh 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.
31:23And it's very much about integrating them into community life
31:27and promoting independence for them.
31:29You can see the difference it's making in their life.
31:32So 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.
31:45I 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?
32:09I don't know.
32:12Do you have any faith?
32:14No, I like to believe I have, like, guardian angels.
32:18That's a bit comforting.
32:19But I wouldn't be, like, a big God guy.
32:22Yeah, that's lovely.
32:24I feel like I'm on the fence about it.
32:25Some 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.
32:46Yeah.
32:47My daughter's just going ten.
32:49So you have a girl, the ten.
32:50You have a boy.
32:51A boy.
32:51Yeah, a boy of 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 are having the best time.
33:02That's great.
33:02That's what you have to do.
33:03Yeah.
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?
33:10Yeah.
33:10Do you 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.
33:27Would you ever go for, like, solo dinners?
33:28Or, like, solo, like, lunches?
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 of, like, doing that all by myself.
33:39I think when you're single, like, 50% of the time, you're like, this is great.
33:42Out of the weekends and that is fine then, but it's when it hits, like, the Monday mornings
33:46or the Monday evenings and, like, you're by yourself.
33:49But now it would be more nice to, like, have someone to do it with.
33:52Not go by yourself all the time.
33:53Yeah.
33:53You're like, okay.
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, but you don't
34:00want to make a move because then what if they're actually not into you and they're just
34:04being nice?
34:05It's just a minefield.
34:07I mean, it's about the long honesty as well.
34:08I've got it.
34:09Are you sure?
34:10I've loved my time.
34:11It's all good.
34:12That's really sweet.
34:15Yeah.
34:16Yeah.
34:16Moment of truth.
34:17Would you like to see each other again romantically?
34:22Ladies first or see what it means?
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.
34:42Oh my God, no.
34:44What is this?
34:45This is.
34:46I had a massive look.
34:49I think it did.
34:49But this is my dream man.
34:50I like someone who is a family man.
34:53Yeah.
34:54Someone who's confident.
34:55But 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.
35:02Really 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.
35:31Will you keep?
35:37Thank you ladies, all the best.
35:41Hello.
35:42Hi.
35:43How are you?
35:44Good.
35:45How are you more importantly?
35:46Oh my God, he's so nice.
35:48Is he?
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.
35:58That was a match made in heaven.
36:00Fucking hell, I know.
36:02I don't know though, is he my type?
36:04Really?
36:05I know.
36:05And 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 can feel like 10 million inhabitants where I'm from.
36:21In just that city?
36:22So, only Buenos Aires.
36:23Wow.
36:24Now here, for me, nothing.
36:26Yeah, it's nothing.
36:27Countryside.
36:27Yeah.
36:28Yeah, 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, you know, because there's
36:35no jobs here.
36:36Oh yeah.
36:36That's why there's Irish immigrants all over the world.
36:38You know, but now people are coming here because, you know, there'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.
36:47That mix of cultures.
36:50It doesn't matter where, you know, 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, oh, join us for drinks.
37:04And they start getting drowns.
37:05And I was like, I thought that was very nice.
37:09Right.
37:09It's the place that makes you feel part of.
37:11So for me, I needed that feeling of belonging and I got it here in Ireland.
37:16Cool.
37:17It's good here.
37:18Hmm.
37:21I love just like a plain cheesecake.
37:23That's nice.
37:24Yeah.
37:24Have you ever been to the U.S.?
37:26I've actually never been to the States.
37:27Okay.
37:28That'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.
37:45And in 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.
37:54But...
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.
38:00What would 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 like 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.
38:19If I could just like be a writer and survive, that would be ideal.
38:22That's what I was going to ask about.
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 and it's so fair.
38:47It's really not that niche, I hate to say.
38:50I actually think it's not that niche.
38:52All right, you hear that.
38:52Now you're just making me look stupid.
38:54It's not that neat.
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 was so supportive and me moving to Ireland, she was the one who was like,
39:07you 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 for sale, yeah.
39:28Yeah, they put the bits in the other bits and then...
39:30And then they die.
39:31Then they die, yeah.
39:32Yeah, I haven't read it in years.
39:33Like maybe I'd read it and think it was shit now.
39:35I don't know.
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.
39:48So 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 as well.
39:58He's so new as well.
39:59Like, yeah.
40:00Like he's really new.
40:01He's precious.
40:02He's gorgeous.
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 up and be like, Jesus Christ, I'm surrounded by women.
40:12What was 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 kind of do.
40:25No.
40:25Oh my God.
40:26I love him so much.
40:27Like I literally love him like he's my own child.
40:30I know.
40:30I can't wait.
40:31There's no pregnancies yet.
40:34Yeah.
40:35I actually cannot wait.
40:37Family is like huge to me.
40:39I'd be terrified of having kids, because I'm too young for it now.
40:43But it's something that 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 there.
40:56What 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 and he was rushed to hospital and then he was in ICU for a long
41:10time.
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 and then he passed away when I was 17.
41:32It's tough.
41:33That's really tough.
41:34It's tough, but 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 me as a
41:44person.
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, you know?
41:57And did you like speaking English before you came to Ireland?
42:00Oh yeah, I did.
42:01Because your English is like perfect.
42:04Do you speak Irish?
42:06Well, we learned at school, yeah.
42:07But I don't speak regularly, but I'm okay.
42:11Yeah, but I'm okay.
42:13It's like the people that say, oh, I speak Spanish.
42:15And they say, hola, que tal.
42:16I'm going to have a bit of a conversation.
42:18Okay.
42:18They say like, um, conestatu.
42:20How are you?
42:21Okay.
42:22Dara, Sam, I'm done.
42:25It's my long.
42:28And data, the date maybe.
42:30This date.
42:31I'm enjoying this date.
42:32Okay.
42:33That's good.
42:33That's important.
42:34We're here to have fun.
42:35That's the important thing.
42:36Yeah.
42:38I'm just going to pop this here.
42:39Oh, thank you.
42:40I'm going to get that, by the way.
42:41Oh no, we could share.
42:42We could share.
42:43No, we're not going to have an argument on live television.
42:45But really, I'm not that I'd like it.
42:47I know, I know, but I want to 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.
43:07So, would you guys like to see each other again romantically?
43:11Um, I 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.
43:28I would have said it would have been a yes for me, but...
43:31Salve, that's fine.
43:32I pretty respect that.
43:34You know, you've got to 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.
43:40It'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?
43:50Oh, he pays.
43:51Yeah.
43:52I always would do that anyway, so...
43:53But, oh, no.
43:54But 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.
44:04For 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.
44:22Are you sure we can go split seats?
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 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.
45:10Sorry.
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 the end.
45:23Did you have a lovely...
45:24I did.
45:24You made me feel very calm and like relaxed.
45:27And I really appreciate that.
45:28Yeah.
45:29Good.
45:29It was a lovely time.
45:30It was actually.
45:31The initial thing was more friendly.
45:34For sure.
45:35And we will...
45:36Pleasure.
45:36Stay in touch.
45:37We'll stay in touch.
45:38Yeah.
45:40Do you crack it or what do you do?
45:42I think we're supposed to crack it.
45:46It's actually pretty good.
45:48Ooh.
45:48Hmm.
45:54Are you happy?
45:55Yeah?
45:56Happy with the date?
45:57Yeah?
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'll take your words away.
46:12Do a little bit.
46:20Let's go Hobbs.
46:22Are you sure?
46:24Okay, I'm okay.
46:25Yeah?
46:26Something you're saying no?
46:28I shouldn't say that.
46:31Yeah.
46:32Okay, so...
46:33Would you guys like to see each other again romantically?
46:38You were raised.
46:39I would, yeah.
46:41Yeah, I would.
46:43Yeah.
46:44Yeah, I would.
46:46Yes!
46:47Do you want to just do it down the middle?
46:49Yeah.
46:50Yeah, perfect.
46:51She's really, really pretty.
46:54Erm...
46:54Yeah, we got on really well.
46:56I said to the girls today, I was like,
46:58my husband is somewhere getting ready.
47:00Like, he's talking to his friends.
47:01He's talking to his family.
47:01He's nervous.
47:05So do you fancy each other?
47:07Yeah.
47:08Yeah, I think there's potential there.
47:10Yeah.
47:11I do fancy you.
47:12I only have potential, but that's fine.
47:18He did a year of nursing,
47:19and he has three sisters,
47:21which is like, you know, tick, tick, tick.
47:23So it's good.
47:24Like, he's really nice.
47:27What do you like about each other?
47:29You were very passionate about your family.
47:32That's...
47:32Like, really passionate about me.
47:34Like, it makes...
47:34It's nice to hear someone talking about it.
47:37I like...
47:38He's half a nurse,
