00:09It's fine, it's cool
00:12If you say that we ain't nothing but you know the truth
00:17Then guess I'm the fool
00:20With your arms out like an angel through the dark sunroof
00:26And I cry, it's not fair
00:29I just need a little love and I just need a little air
00:35Think I'm gonna call it art, even if you call it love
00:39I just love someone who calls me, baby
00:42You can crush on the poison bars
00:46Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
00:50You can change just the way you are
00:55Make a new excuse for the stupid reason
00:59Good luck for you

01:05Just to stop the feeling
01:07Good luck for you
01:08Well, good luck for you
01:11You're out to stop the world
01:13Just to stop the feeling
01:31With a killer attitude and a badass role
01:35You may be shocked to learn that Lisa's terribly nice
01:39Do you think you're a good date?
01:41I'm unreal
01:41What are you talking about?
01:45And I'm sound, aren't I?
01:47I've no ill intention towards any human
01:48And I just want everybody to have a time to be happy
01:51Like the feeling can't hold us
01:54Like the feeling can't hold us
01:56Yeah, girl
02:01Another one
02:02No
02:05My God
02:08Pleasure to meet you
02:09Pleasure to meet you too, brother
02:10You definitely brought positivity and style
02:14I'll remember
02:15I've been described as a hit of dopamine
02:17Because I'm so hyper
02:19But I've also been described as a wrecked head
02:23This is your place
02:24This is like a video coming to do a UFC fight or something
02:27Everybody's just square up to me here
02:32My man
02:33I'm like Barbara
02:34I don't love it or you have it
02:36So tell me, tell me what you're looking for
02:39Are you Jacobite?
02:41This is your date, I'm afraid
02:43I mean, I requested something a little different
02:46Do you have any sense?
02:49Strategy on the date
02:50No, I'm an absolute mess
02:57No baking
02:58Stop it
02:59Yeah
03:00You're embarrassing me
03:06Magic
03:07If it's in the air
03:09Boo will sense it
03:14I need to feel
03:16The attraction
03:20It's more of an energy for me
03:22I think an energy can be more attractive than how someone looks
03:29It's really the vibe when I meet them
03:31With me
03:39Be your
03:40Hi there
03:40Hi, how are you?
03:41Hey, boo

03:46A little bit
03:47Yeah, okay
03:47Stay here with me
03:48We'll put you at the end
03:49And then I'll get you there
03:50Okay
03:51I think I'd like someone who is open-minded
03:54Someone who I can be myself with
03:57And who's comfortable being themselves
03:59Someone who's just confident and really well assured of themselves

05:01You're such a good little woman
05:05Shameless more of the transit then

05:09Just kind of a one-man show
05:10There's becky tracks on the keyboards
05:12I have speakers, microphones
05:14All the other crackers

05:33It's actually the highest village in Ireland
05:35What brings you on?
05:36Hopeless romantic
05:37Well look, there's no such as a hopeless romantic
05:39There has to be hope somewhere
05:41I will try it over
05:42I'd like someone that's good Craig
05:44Someone from the country
05:45If it was possible
05:46I'd be more able to have a conversation with them
05:48Because they'd kind of get what
05:49They'd get what I'm on about
05:52Where Shannon comes from
05:54Life isn't just sweet
05:56It's sweeter by a country mile
05:59I'm from Turnavola
06:01So it's a small village in West Limerick
06:04And it's actually the longest village in Ireland
06:07I do like someone who is a bit of a culty
06:12Towny people
06:13They just don't have the same personality that a culty person would have
06:19There's no such thing

08:01Can you hear more?
08:07I've been single over four years now
08:08In the last few months I've opened myself up a lot more
08:12I was closed off and I was busy last year so I had no time for dating at all
08:17So what do you do for them?
08:19I was doing home care
08:20Really?
08:21Yeah, I just got out with that for a break
08:24Cause I was just like burnt out and I'm a single parent and I don't have any help with her
08:28Well now that I've had more time to myself I'm like hmm
08:31I actually could think about it now and you know I've been more optimistic
08:36What do you do for fun?
08:37I'm a spiritual girlie
08:38I love me tarot cards and crystals and stuff like that
08:41I'm also creative
08:42I write poems and I write like lyrics and stuff
08:45I'm a musician
08:46No way
08:48I'm a tattoo artist as well
08:49I own a bus company, I have a barber, I'm a musician
08:52And whatever you want me to be really
08:54Yeah
08:55Friendship is so important
08:56I want to be best friends with someone
08:58Let's go
08:59I have to have a good time, don't you?
09:02I want someone to have the absolute crack back
09:03I was working all together now
09:05Was it good?
09:06I don't know
09:07I got kicked out
09:09You got kicked out working there?
09:11Oh my god
09:12That was yesterday
09:13Oh no way
09:15And you rolled over into here today?
09:17Nah bro
09:18I had it
09:18Maybe an hour
09:19You seem fresh enough like
09:21It's Botox
09:27Her sister Nancy is the cockroach, really
09:30No way
09:31Oh my god
09:32I actually went for the Limerick Rose this year as well
09:35Really?
09:35It's so funny
09:37I didn't get it now but it was a great experience
09:40Yeah
09:40I got sponsored by my job in the Sentra
09:42My escort is lovely in fairness
09:45The poor creator had to walk four of us up
09:47So he had to like run up back down again and get the next girl because there wasn't enough escorts
09:52for all of us
09:53I used to play the concertina and
09:55And when I went for the roles like that was my practice piece
09:58Yeah, I stood there in front of like a full ballroom in a deer and count Limerick like was crazy.
10:05I
10:06Played a keyboard and a fiddle
10:08Yeah, we had a more country music and metal
10:10Yeah, I'm fairly well able to do it
10:15I actually done classes. We went for a couple of weeks, but I still can barely drive like
10:21And I love to teach you that so
10:24I like going out Saturday night like any regular country fella
10:28We'd always go to a pub where there's a bit of music on no matter who the bend is I'll
10:32end up singing a few songs
10:33Anyway, I'm in school and how do you feel like? My father's first cousin was the principal
10:36No way!
10:38Liam
10:40I was saying that to the girls before I came up and I was like, imagine if I actually know
10:42this person like
10:44I literally said that last night
10:45If I drove all the way up the Dublin, she'll probably like half an hour over the road
10:51I don't know you at all that
10:52No, I don't know, I don't know you there
10:54Not in the West of Journal
10:55No
11:02It's been a while, I haven't done it sober
11:08Are you okay?
11:09Yeah, it just landed on my forehead
11:13When I first meeting me, I think some people are like, oh my god
11:17Is he alright?
11:19Did he have a bunch of Red Bull or something?
11:21Let me go wild
11:23Like I could sit
11:25Some people think I'm like a dog running around, you know
11:29I kind of have that golden retriever brain
11:32Let me go wild
11:35I can't sit still for a long time, you know
11:37I'm excited
11:38I like the flowers
11:39Thank you
11:40A few brownie points
11:41You're going to help there
11:42Yeah
11:43What do you do yourself for a living?
11:44I am a doctor
11:47And you are cash for the lady
11:48Oh, thank you
11:49Thank you
11:50I don't know about that
11:51But we'll see
11:52Yeah
11:52I've never gone too far astray from just being myself
11:56Unapologetically myself
11:58Wow
11:58These actually cost a penny
12:00Fair play
12:00It did
12:00I bought them up the ladies in Grand Street
12:02She tried to talk me out of them
12:03She was like
12:03They're too expensive now
12:04And I was like
12:05What's going on?
12:06First dating?
12:08And how vulnerable does dating make you feel?
12:11Ah
12:12Brutal at times
12:12You know
12:13It is like marketing for your soul
12:15You know
12:15You're like
12:16Hi
12:16Do you want this forever?
12:18I was like talking to my mum on the way here
12:20And she's like
12:20Keith
12:21Just be you
12:22But a little less
12:28Onya's had just about enough of a little less
12:31What she really wants is a little more
12:35You'll ask for clarity on the third or fourth date
12:38And it's not like
12:38Listen
12:39No one's asking you to settle down
12:40Like hand out a ring
12:41Nothing like that
12:41But it's like
12:42You're just kind of asking for a little bit of clarity
12:44And then they're like
12:44Whoa
12:44Like
12:45Oh
12:45Take chill pill
12:47You need to calm down
12:49You're being so loud
12:51I thought
12:52As I got older
12:53Oh yeah
12:53Like now I'll find somebody
12:55Who's like
12:55You know
12:55Ready to settle down
12:56Like ready to
12:57I suppose
12:57Get married
12:58Have kids
13:01I feel like it's worse
13:02They're getting at this point
13:07No
13:07And that doesn't matter
13:09I knew I was going to get it wrong
13:13Yeah well
13:13Perfection is boring
13:16Hi
13:16Onya
13:17Hi
13:19I like someone who's
13:20Active
13:21Like I would be very like
13:22Go go go
13:22I do like a bit of facial hair as well
13:25A little bit of confidence
13:26Someone who's just I suppose

14:17Thank you
14:22I'm a bit of a loner
14:23Like a bit of a lone wolf
14:24That's fair
14:25I've got like
14:26My like couple of best friends
14:29And then I've got a group of acquaintances
14:31Do you know what I mean?
14:32I love my own company
14:33I love that
14:34Would you consider yourself somebody confident?
14:37I've worked on it
14:38I'm still socially awkward sometimes
14:40I don't think that will ever go away
14:41But I think my confidence is something that's growing
14:43I come across as this big confident person
14:46Like as I look a certain way
14:47Obviously fantastically good looking
14:48And really really really sexy and all
14:50Yeah
14:51Right
14:51That's fair
14:52Okay
14:56And
15:00There's a lot of that
15:01I know
15:02I'm going to look at
15:03End it
15:05Always been class clown
15:07There was always so much going on in my life
15:09When I was younger
15:09That I created the person that had to be liked
15:13I have a complicated family
15:14I was raised with my grandparents
15:16How was that?
15:18It was great
15:19Okay
15:19Until I died
15:20Oh, I'm sorry
15:21Hey, it's a problem with the grandparents, isn't it?
15:24Fucking holding your parents
15:24Yeah
15:25Who knew?
15:26My grandmother passed away
15:27My mum
15:27Like I called my mum
15:28And passed away when I was 12
15:30So
15:30So I was kind of
15:31It was upheaval from there
15:32Like, you know
15:34So there was a lot of
15:36Windy roads
15:37My granddad
15:38And I was 23
15:40I'm so sorry
15:41And dad, yeah
15:44That's awful
15:45I'm so sorry
15:47But you know what?
15:49It is what it is
15:50Yeah
15:50It happens
15:50You know
15:51Yeah
15:52You're born with a number of breaths
15:55And every single breath you take
15:56That number gets less
15:58So I will never waste the breath
16:00I say
16:01I promise you that
16:04I was drifting my forklift
16:06My phone flew off the side of it
16:07And is that your forklift?
16:10God, it is
16:10Why do you have a forklift?
16:12I want to have a forklift
16:13I want to lift things
16:14Right
16:14So just have a forklift
16:15Okay
16:16Yeah
16:16I like to
16:18Fork things
16:19Yeah, I like to forklift
16:22Oh my God
16:23You made the funniest joke
16:25I'm raging
16:26I'm raging
16:29I love driving
16:30Really, yeah
16:31Do I drive you?
16:32My father is always giving out to me
16:34He's like
16:34You have so much mileage for up in your car
16:36Blah, blah
16:36Have you had all done up then?
16:38I would like to have it a bit more done up than I have
16:40But I have like number plates
16:42And like pink sea covers and stuff like
16:45But
16:45Do you get a little urban vibe?
16:47I don't know now
16:48Can you imagine me a teacher coming into a school
16:49And the car is going
16:51Not quite all right now
16:53I would have been the quiet child in school
16:55I would not have put up my hand like to answer a question
16:57And
16:59Now
16:59Going to be the teacher that will be teaching the class
17:02Like that's such a difference
17:03When I went on placement the first year
17:04I was just out of second school myself
17:06And then I'd try and teach these 18 year olds
17:08The same age as yourself
17:09Yeah, literally
17:10What did you think of my brothers there?
17:12When you had them?
17:13Oh, they were grand
17:13I had great crack at them
17:14They were deadly crack at it
17:18I'm actually going back to the second school
17:20Until I went to myself
17:21So it's like a real full circle moment
17:25And how long have you been working in your job then?
17:27About a year I'd say
17:28Oh yeah
17:28Before that
17:29I had a bar myself in the market
17:32Nice
17:33I took over a bar when I was 19
17:35Really?
17:35Yeah
17:35I stayed at it for a year
17:37The tone kind of needed a lift
17:38If you're not what I would say
17:40The tone was gone quite
17:41And when the opportunity came up
17:43I said
17:44Let's give it a shot
17:46Rural nightlife in general is
17:47Kind of gone
17:49Unless there's a party or something
17:50Yeah, exactly
17:51I think I was the youngest publican in the country at the time
17:53I was taught
17:55I don't know
17:55I'd half mind going back into bars again
17:57But
17:58I don't know
17:59Do I want to go back down the route of 2 o'clock every fucking morning?
18:01It's tough enough
18:02Like when all your friends are going out as well
18:04Yeah
18:04It's just
18:05It was two tiny down for one person
18:06But look
18:07I had a great year
18:08I made great friends and everything
18:09All of it
18:09So
18:09I
18:10Not all
18:11Don't know
18:11It's
18:11So
18:13Do you have any pets?
18:15We've dog it on
18:16We've cattle
18:17We had hens
18:18The hens went missing
18:21Oh no
18:23Nine of them
18:24Oh no
18:26I just can't figure out what happened
18:28They didn't run away
18:31I'm so excited
18:40I'm kind of hungry
18:40Yes
18:41I'm excited too
18:42And I only have like three default states
18:44It's excitement or hunger
18:45What's the third?
18:47Sleep
18:47Sleep?
18:48That's fair enough
18:49That's fair, yeah
18:50I have had a lot of relationships
18:53It's like a running joke
18:54And my friends are like
18:55Oh classic
18:55This guy is better than the last guy
18:57He's amazing
18:58And then it just falls to shit
19:00Because I have like rose-colored glasses on
19:02And I just completely like dismiss other stuff
19:04So I've stopped doing that now
19:05Thank you so much
19:06Thanks
19:07I've kind of stopped settling
19:08If the person isn't right for me
19:09They're not right for me
19:10And it's like
19:11Can I ask how old are you?
19:12I am 34
19:12I'm 31
19:13You are 31?
19:14Yeah
19:14God
19:15I thought
19:15Well you look easily 25
19:18You've got this aura about you
19:20It's beautiful
19:21You're by far the hottest girl I've ever got on a date list
19:25I move every six months or so for my work
19:28Emergency hours are bad
19:29It doesn't really allow too much for dating
19:32And you're living in Shremory?
19:34I am
19:34I just moved there two weeks ago
19:35It's so nice
19:36Yeah
19:37You've got to come down
19:38It's really cool
19:39I do have to go down
19:40I'm training to be a GP now
19:42So I'm at a place in my life
19:44In my career
19:45Where I can say
19:45You know what?
19:45I'm going to take a little bit for me now
19:47And so hopefully all that changes
19:50I haven't even looked
19:51Oh my god
19:52We forgot to look
19:53You haven't even looked
19:54I thought you were hungry

23:35She's, I don't know
23:36I'll have to like see how like
23:39The rest of my goes
23:40How vulnerable does dating make you feel?
23:42The vulnerability of probably
23:44A two year old child
23:45Lost in the middle of the city
23:47When it comes to being like
23:48In an actual romantic setting
23:49I just lost, lost confidence
23:51You know
23:52Like that
23:53I'm 36
23:54Nothing's ever worked out
23:55I was really quiet in my 20s
23:56To be fair
23:58I, yeah
23:59I remember mentally in my 30s
24:01You can feel vulnerable
24:03But it makes me feel optimistic also
24:05If the person's not right for you
24:06You're one step closer to the person who is
24:08I was mentally in my 20s
24:10I loved recession
24:11I was a bit of a rape
24:12So you were a recession when were you?
24:14I was a bit of a recession when
24:18I was a bit of a recession when I was in my 20s
24:19Would you go out local or that?
24:20I've often gone out to Newcastle as well
24:21Because I would know a lot of people from Newcastle
24:24I still can't get over all fucking close
24:26I don't know what's mad
24:28My parents separated when I was young
24:29So my dad is remarried and my mom has a new partner
24:32And they both have three children each with their new partners
24:36So I have two sisters and four brothers and they're all under the age of eight
24:41It is crazy at every house
24:43But it's a crazy that I love
24:47Do you think you'd like to stay in Ireland
24:48And like settle down in Ireland like her?
24:50I would think so
24:52Yeah
24:52I'd like to stay very close to home
24:54Yeah
24:55I've always lived to my life
24:57I'm actually planning to build a house on a site at home
25:01In the near future
25:03Your sister, she works in Bob's bar, doesn't it?
25:06Brian is the manager there
25:07He sure is
25:08His, like, fiancee is, like
25:11Like, I've grown up with her
25:12Like, she's best friend of my whole family and everything, like
25:15So, yeah
25:16And his best man is closing away
25:19The way he is a small world
25:20I'm telling you

25:25Definitely do

25:43I, well, yeah, I think so
25:44There you go, okay
25:47How would I know that you fancy your date?
25:50I would probably be staring intently into their eyes
25:54You don't like me to feed you, so I'll put it on the little leaf
25:57Yeah
25:57I'm gonna put it on the leaf
25:59Do you like it to mass?
26:02It would be really obvious, yeah
26:03I'd be very excited
26:04To speak in a mile a minute
26:05If I didn't get a laugh, I would not stop until I did
26:09From North Carolina, originally
26:11We moved when I was a little kid
26:12So I could come up
26:13It was kind of like a self-dub, you know
26:14All my mates are like, hey, what are you getting on?
26:16We're all finance bros
26:18Here's a go, and accountants and all
26:20Sorry, do you work for KPMG?
26:21Like, man
26:24It's just that golden retriever mentality, you know
26:26Here's like, this is gonna be the greatest thing ever
26:28I got to talk to you like a South Atlantic
26:30What do you see?
26:31What do you do?
26:32I'll get you the moon
26:33Hey, listen here, darling
26:34Why don't we take this drink to go?
26:44I have four children
26:46Oh, wow
26:47I've been married twice
26:48Okay
26:49There's two children from my first marriage
26:51Mm-hmm
26:51And I inherited two children in my second marriage
26:54Oh, okay
26:56And you're commuting at the moment?
26:58Just sold the family home
27:00Oh, did you? Okay
27:01Started the registration process to be a teacher in Ireland
27:04For the last 23 years I've been a teacher
27:07I've worked in Aboriginal rural communities
27:10Working with Aboriginal adults
27:12And disengaged teenagers
27:14That love of teaching is still there
27:16So it's something that I still wish to continue
27:19So two wives, come on, I'm curious
27:21Oh, yes
27:22I have to be honest
27:24First marriage was at 21
27:25Oh, me and you both, yep
27:27We had 16 wonderful years
27:29But I think we both changed
27:31Yeah, our lives were different as individuals
27:34Yes, I was married a second time
27:36And that relationship lasted nearly two decades
27:39Yeah
27:40I think I'm a better person partnered
27:43I've been single many years
27:45And now I'm ready to fill that void
27:47I was married for 27 years before I got separated
27:51The first thing I did when I got separated was
27:55I signed up to do a degree
27:56I did a degree in marketing part-time
27:59Well done, yeah
28:00I had been in a relationship from such a young age
28:04That I just needed to find myself
28:07Like, come back to the person I should have been
28:10If I, I would have been if I hadn't gotten married
28:13When I got married
28:14Do you travel?
28:14Yeah, I, like last year or now
28:16I would have been in Houston
28:17And I would have been in Geneva
28:19And Dubai
28:20But I do love to travel
28:22I travel a lot on my own though
28:23I go on holidays on my own
28:25So
28:25Would you travel on your own?
28:27Everything I've done recently is on my own
28:29Is on your own?
28:30Yes
28:30Yes
28:36How are you getting on?
28:37Happy Oscar
28:38Yes
28:38Very good ladies
28:39The matchmakers have done a good job, sorry
28:41Yeah
28:42You'll actually never guess
28:43His sister is the car girls
28:45No way
28:46I swear to God
28:47I thought his brother is in Bora B
28:49And his sister is the car girls this year
28:54What are the chances?
28:55Genuinely, what are the chances?
28:59Oh
29:01Did you go all out of the outfit for us?
29:03I did, yeah
29:03I saw the amount of stuff I had
29:05Now you think I was staying up here for about a week
29:07Like

29:10Where I was going
29:11Did you?
29:11I called back to me in a few days
29:13Then I picked it up
29:14And all that right here to go
29:15Oh, brilliant
29:16Yeah
29:17What was the best thing about your date?
29:19Let's say figuring out if we were so close to each other
29:22Can I give you cash?
29:23Yeah, yeah, of course it's okay
29:24Yeah, yeah

29:29I like this guy
29:30All fashioned, that's it
29:31Thank you
29:32Not at all
29:33That's one thing I was actually worried about last night as well
29:35Like, will they take cash?
29:38Very nice girl
29:39Very good looking girl
29:40I was very nervous of course
29:42But

32:41That was the last book she bought me
32:44I write stories

32:47Like fantasy mostly, but I also write funny stories
32:51I'm big into fantasy books
32:53Yeah
32:54No way
32:55I can't believe you write fantasy books
32:57Yeah
32:57It's shocking
32:58I'm trying

33:07Like I love reading fantasy books
33:08I do love cleaning as well
33:10I hate to say it
33:10My friends always know
33:11If something happened
33:12Or if I ended with like a lad
33:13Or something like that
33:14They're like something in that house
33:15Is getting deep cleaned

33:57She's good looking
33:58She's a mommy
34:00She's like
34:02She's a really beautiful person
34:03But I kind of felt really bad
34:05Because I gave her a bunch of flowers
34:06My room key

34:56Nice to meet you
34:58Ladd if you want mine
34:59Can I actually get my seat back?
35:00Yeah
35:01My day is over there
35:02Do you know what I mean?
35:02It's a bit rude
35:08Hips are good
35:09Ah they are aren't they?
35:09That's always a good start
35:10Yeah
35:11And your company's been lovely so far
35:13Oh thank you
35:15You need to speak with my mouth
35:16Oh you're allowed
35:17I will too
35:18That's okay
35:19How's that?
35:19Okay
35:22My mother was Italian
35:23We all had fish and chip shops
35:25So we all lived over fish and chip shops
35:26And whatever
35:27Italian heritage
35:28Yeah
35:29They would have come over as immigrants
35:32And they had nothing
35:33Oh yeah
35:34We did have land
35:35We'd land
35:36Yeah no we'd land initially
35:37It was great for growing rocks
35:38Yes
35:43Do you ever get lonely?
35:45I call it Sunday blues
35:47That Sunday feeling
35:48When everybody's with their family
35:50Everybody's with their other half
35:51Everybody has somebody except you
35:54This is my fierce
35:55And I have the cat on a swing
35:58See it's a bit of a joke
36:00Oh yeah
36:01Big swing
36:02Uh huh
36:02You've got to embrace it
36:04Being single can be lonely
36:06I enjoy going to gigs on my own
36:08Or the cinema on my own
36:10But I think having company
36:11Would be a better thing
36:13Do you like your live music?
36:15Yes I love music
36:17I love my lives
36:18I love everything from opera
36:20To pop
36:22And anything in between
36:23Music makes you happy
36:25Yeah yeah
36:25I find music medicinal
36:27Yes
36:27I'm a member of a
36:29Four part harmony chorus
36:32So in Melbourne
36:33But there's a group here
36:35That I've been to one of their
36:36Uh meetings
36:38And um
36:38So that's
36:40That's a group
36:41That I'd be joining
36:41Coming up there's
36:43Performing
36:43Could be Wexford
36:45Okay
36:46So down the road
36:48So
36:49Um
36:50Yeah
36:51If there's a second date
36:52Perhaps we can
36:53Go there
36:58This girl is amazing
37:00This girl is amazing
37:01She makes bread
37:02She likes fantasy books
37:05She's a marine biologist
37:06Super hot
37:07She is absolutely stunning
37:09She is a 10 out of 10 Leah
37:10She is perfect
37:13This is so good
37:17Well
37:17I'm glad nobody's really losing their cool
37:19No
37:20Nobody's losing their cool
37:22As I jump up and down
37:25Nice and calm
37:26Yeah nice and calm
37:27Cool it down
37:27No but I really like her
37:28She's really nice
37:29If I can just
37:31Nail this next bit
37:33I think
37:33I think I've
37:34Think I got a winner
37:35I don't like
37:37Being in situations
37:38With
37:39People like me
37:41Like you
37:42Yeah people like me
37:43Who are a little bit
37:43A little bit wild
37:45And people that are calmer than you
37:47Handle you
37:48No
37:49And that's the problem
37:51You seem very calm
37:55Or
37:55Is there a wildest day
37:57Yeah me
37:58I had a really good time
38:00Really pretty girl
38:01Really quiet
38:03Total opposite of me
38:06Do you put the whole thing in your mouth
38:07Yeah
38:08Savage
38:09I can be a little bit like
38:12All over the place
38:13And like
38:13It's fun to me
38:14But it can be embarrassing
38:15Some other people
38:16I think she deserves a bit better
38:18I would like to play in the middle
38:20If that's okay
38:20Are you sure?
38:21Absolutely
38:22Honestly
38:22You feel a delight
38:24I'll tell you that
38:26Would you like to see each other again
38:28Romantically?
38:30Go ahead
38:32Harley
38:32Ladies first
38:34Erm
38:37I would say
38:38We'd be good as friends
38:41For sure
38:42Do you agree?
38:43Yeah
38:43I think I'd make a showy everywhere we go
38:47Thank you
38:48My flowers
38:50There is
38:51That spark
38:52And
38:52Like
38:53I think sometimes
38:55It's just not there
38:55And this time it wasn't
38:57Yeah
38:57But
38:57It doesn't mean there wasn't a spark
38:59Of like
39:00Similarity
39:01Interests
39:02Yeah
39:02Definitely
39:03Thank you
39:04It was a pleasure
39:04Thank you
39:05See ya
39:05See ya
39:06Bye
39:06It was a really fun day
39:08It was grey crack
39:09But I think we'd be really good as friends
39:11Yeah for sure
39:12Yeah for sure
39:13Definitely
39:14Here go on then
39:15You might as well
39:26Can I just say I love your accent
39:27Thank you
39:28And I love yours
39:29I can understand yours
39:31Thank you
39:31Thank you
39:47It's when you're not trying to change somebody
39:48To be who you want them to be
39:50Is it okay to be vulnerable
39:53Wanting to spend time with them
39:55And being happy
39:56When they're doing something they want to do without you
40:00That it's
40:00That's okay too
40:01Sounds like you do a lot of travelling
40:03See
40:04Perhaps some
40:05You know
40:05If we were to have a second date
40:07And beyond
40:09It's something that we could do together
40:10And apart
40:11And we'd both be okay with that
40:13Absolutely
40:14I have to be very honest
40:17Please
40:19I'm not looking to get married again
40:20I'm looking for a companion
40:23I hate that word
40:24Because it makes you sound very old
40:26But I don't mean it in that sense
40:27I get exactly what you've just said
40:29Yes
40:30That's it
40:31You don't have to think about
40:33Being in love
40:34It's just comfortable
40:36Having the confidence in another person
40:39That they get you
40:41Now there's a period of my life
40:42That I recognise
40:43That you know
40:45There's
40:45Am I lonely?
40:47No
40:48But would I like to be in a relationship?
40:50Yes
40:50Okay
40:51Yes
40:52Yeah
40:52I get you
40:54I get you
40:55That's me
40:56I'm not lonely
40:57I'm very content
41:00But I'd love somebody in my life
41:02There you go
41:02Yeah
41:03Because all I wanted Margaret
41:04Out of this was
41:05To meet someone who got me
41:07Yeah

41:07And um
41:09And that's all I wanted
41:11Was somebody who got me

47:31I had definitely kind of given up for a while
47:34And I did have a good feeling about this date
47:36But I didn't fully know
47:36Take him down
47:37Take him down
47:38And open up the door for you
47:40I feel like I've always wanted someone like her

47:45She
47:46I could definitely
47:46Wake up to her someday

48:37I know since yesterday
48:39Yeah
48:40Cause everything has changed
48:43All I know is to tell her
