09:54George, this is great

09:58No, no
09:59Jesus, no
10:01I've never actually been on a property
10:02My friends sent me up on Tinder before
10:04But I had no idea how to use it
10:06I was out shopping right
10:08Every board I walked
10:08But my man was like
10:09Oh, that could be her
10:10That could be her
10:11And I was like
10:11Oh my god, stop
10:13No, my man wants a phone call or not
10:15Yeah, so
10:15My man wants to talk to you
10:17Like

10:23And then after a drink or after arriving or?
10:26Ah, they're meeting me

10:30I got there before you
10:31Yeah, you did
10:31Well done
10:32Well done
10:33I was walking over and I could see two of you smiling
10:35So it was like
10:36Yeah, that's always a good start
10:37Well this man would make an empty room smile
10:39You know
10:40Just stop
10:40You're gonna make me blush
10:44What do you look for in a guy?
10:46They have to be over six foot

11:17What?
11:18Yeah, I felt a bit intimidated when you came over
11:20You gotta change your shoes for this time
11:30Anyone dating Linda should expect a little to and fro
11:34But they'll be all the richer for it
11:37Well, first of all, I'm a cheap date
11:42I usually play table tennis with like one or two bottles of beer
11:45So that's like what?
11:46Five euro

12:04I even put on the heel
12:06Oh, yeah
12:06I'm a quite bubbly, outgoing person
12:09I tend to date more introverted guys
12:12Because they kind of balance me out
12:14I have a dog
12:15And I'm facaded with
12:17Most of my spare time I spend with the dog
12:18And then I also play volleyball a little bit
12:20And I got my finger fractured earlier
12:22Oh, Jesus
12:23Oh my God
12:25Look
12:25I broke my finger while playing volleyball
12:28Was it painful?
12:30It's okay
12:30Stuff like that can happen
12:31So I had like ligaments, fractured fingers, everything
12:34Yeah, das macht nichts
12:36Das macht
12:36Ja, aber das ist echt normal
12:38How come you speak German?
12:40Ich habe unsere GebÃĪude schon 25 Jahre fa

13:39Hi, nice to meet you
13:40Linda
13:41Linda
13:41How are you feeling?
13:43Yeah, it's a bit of a weird experience, all right
13:45Like, you know
13:45At the moment, it's kind of deer in the headlights kind of syndrome
13:48I have to put myself in the frame of mind
13:49Look, this is important
13:50You need to have your game face on
13:53I've got a 21-year-old at home
13:54You've got a 21-year-old?
13:5621-year-old
13:57Yes, I've got an 18-year-old who's finished his Lehman search
13:58Wow
14:00And then I've got an 8-year-old
14:01Mmm
14:02He's a whirlwind
14:03My main life is just a busy household as well as work
14:06That's what I'm looking for
14:07A person who has a busy life too
14:09How are we feeling?
14:11Good
14:11Good, yeah
14:13Shake up all that nervous energy now
14:14It's all, you know
14:15That's all good
14:16Are you nervous, Martin?
14:17It's been a long while
14:19We're just going to have a nice evening
14:20Have a nice evening and see how it goes
14:21Exactly
14:22I'm sure we're away now
14:24Come, Martin
14:24Cheers
14:25Cheers
14:26Cheers, thanks very much
14:26Two hours to our day
14:28I know
14:28See how it goes
14:35No, wait, hold on
14:43Is that...
14:44It's outside here
14:46Oh, that's so small
14:48No, I don't know
14:49But that's how big it
14:50Should be like a white flag you can raise
14:52Question
14:53Yeah
14:54Yeah
14:54Do I have the big one and a little one?
14:56I have no idea
14:57I have no idea
14:58It doesn't matter which one is for the pasta
15:02You can't do anything wrong here
15:04It's not that like you have to follow a certain way
15:06Always like
15:07No
15:07It's a cardam and all that like
15:08No, not at all
15:09Get an all push
15:10Brenda Gibson out
15:15My last long term proper relationship was about two and a half years ago at this point
15:19Yeah
15:20What about you?
15:21It reminds me of five or six years
15:23Oh, years?
15:24Yeah
15:24Great, okay
15:24Nice
15:25I had one kind of serious relationship that was about four years
15:29So like we lived together in Australia and stuff
15:31Look, things finished up over there and I came back on my own
15:33But I suppose that was the biggest moment in my life where I just thought like, yeah, look
15:38You need you need to just grow up now like, you know, you need you need to decide what you
15:41want from yourself
15:42I'd love to meet someone around that but I'm quite independent so
15:45Yeah
15:46Maybe I think probably the same like that
15:47Yeah, yeah
15:48Obviously, it would be nice to someone to step in as well at the same time so
15:50100%
15:51You want someone that compliments your life
15:52Exactly
15:53Yeah, yeah
15:53And can add to it, you know
15:55I'd love to find a best friend that I fancy
15:57Like someone to wake up in the morning and be like, wow
16:00I can't believe I get to spend my life with you. This is brilliant
16:03If you bought it the same interest and you're never going to really learn it
16:06Then it's going to be a bit boring
16:07Whether as you could teach me something new that I'm not used to or try a new experience
16:11And I'm going to be excited to do that because it's something you enjoy
16:14You want to try pole dancing?
16:17I don't have to call for that
16:19I need to go
16:24Were you in work today?
16:25I was only in 9 till 11
16:27So do you go around to the gaps or do you do it in a homely?
16:30Around to the houses
16:30That's the job, innit?
16:32Best job ever
16:34I absolutely love my job and my clients especially
16:37And all their stories about the olden days
16:40They've became more like family than clients
16:42I work in construction management as a site foreman
16:45I fucking love it
16:46When I go get out of bed like halfway in the morning
16:48Uh huh
16:49Skip out of bed
16:49Half six I go to bed
16:50Yeah
16:52Takes me a long time to get ready
16:53If I go on holidays with you, am I going to be sitting there for the hours?
16:56I was like, ah go out, would you?
16:58Have a nap while I get ready
16:59I can't sleep, I have ADHD
17:01So I'll be up the walls while you're getting ready
17:03Get a shot of that hair dryer, get a shot of that
17:05If I'm not busy, I struggle with my mental health
17:09So I need to keep myself constantly busy
17:12I was in therapy for a long time and all
17:14Love me therapy
17:15I go to therapy as well
17:16Do you?
17:17Yeah
17:17Love it innit?
17:17I love therapy
17:18Just an hour of venting
17:20Getting help was the best thing I've ever done
17:22I got diagnosed
17:23And now I can take tablets for ADHD
17:25And it all just keeps me brain quiet
17:29I suffer a lot of anxiety
17:30I think tablets like get me through the day
17:32Normally that's something that I'd like
17:33Wouldn't tell something about
17:35Nah, fuck it
17:35Proud of how you are, man
17:36Yeah
17:37Out straight
17:38Am I getting deep, deep like?
17:41I feel like maybe a good vibe though
17:42Cause like I'll make you a little bit fucking nuts
17:44Yeah
17:45And then like you'll just kind of like
17:46Sound fairly quiet
17:47I am out there as it is
17:49You take, I am who I am at the end of the day
17:52I've had my battles with it, I've tried to contain it
17:55I can't stop it
17:55I embrace it
17:56I could've came in here now and just
17:58Being real nice and real quiet
18:01One of those, like another fella
18:02And then like the second day you're like
18:05Are we going on the second day?
18:08What?
18:08Are you going on the second day?
18:12Are you?
18:13Who said that?
18:18In Berlin
18:19Is that where you're from, is it?
18:20Yeah, Berlin
18:20Right in the middle
18:21Right, wow
18:22I'm like from the previous Soviet part
18:24In East Berlin
18:25Watch the wall coming down as well
18:26Like that's fascinating
18:27People like kind of mocked us
18:28For like not having
18:30Access to bananas and stuff
18:31Yeah
18:32But it was good
18:33Like you know as a child
18:34You can't miss what you don't know
18:35I loved the unity in how I grew up
18:41And that's probably partly because everyone was spying on each other
18:45I grew up in an eleven story house
18:47With like they had four flats on each level
18:51Whoa
18:51Yeah
18:51And a great thing about it was that there were kids on each level
18:55Yeah
18:55And we all used to play with each other
18:57Yeah
18:57I had loving parents
18:59And I have an older sister that I was really, I am really close with still
19:03So it was a good childhood definitely
19:05We didn't have much in the eighties but it was a good life
19:07You have three children
19:09Mm-hmm
19:09And do they all live with you at all?
19:12We share custody
19:12So it's like 50-50 day
19:14Yeah
19:14Oh fair enough
19:15We got separated five years ago
19:16So I got a divorce there last month
19:19I met my next partner
19:20Got at work
19:21When I was apprentice
19:22Fell in love
19:23Married
19:23Kids
19:25And life kind of got very busy
19:2820 years kind of of marriage and it fell away then
19:32And basically common interests weren't so common then
19:34I thought once I got married
19:36You know you get 2.4 children
19:37You get the white picket fence in Labrador
19:38That's it
19:39Job done
19:39Boxing put on the shelf
19:40Work on
19:41I didn't respect that the marriage
19:43Kind of needed constant work
19:44Like you know
19:44I was totally self-centered on
19:46On work and providing
19:47Where I was working 2 jobs
19:49The kids were young
19:49I was conscious of providing
19:50But like I didn't
19:51I didn't see them grow up
19:52Well my core value is now
19:54To kind of
19:55Checking with the kids
19:56Make sure they're working fine
19:57Make sure everything's going on
19:58With them fine as well
19:58Like you know
19:59I have the children
20:00Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
20:03So then when Wednesday, Thursday, Friday kick in
20:06The house is empty
20:08I haven't dated now in what?
20:10Oh God
20:11Six, seven years
20:12And now you are here
20:13So
20:13Yeah I know
20:14Yeah
20:14No that's amazing
20:16Putting yourself out there
20:17Gotta get out of the comfort zone
20:19Uncomfortable here
20:20Yeah
20:21I feel you
20:29Once upon a time in Mexico
20:31Itzel longed to see the world
20:34But then she found herself
20:36Here
20:39I was very shy growing up
20:40But then I realized that I was missing out on a lot
20:47That's when I started to travel
20:48And then I started to become more comfortable in my own self
20:52When you feel comfortable in your own self
20:54You like yourself
20:55You want to share who you are with other people
20:59You're welcome
20:59You're welcome
21:00Well, look at you
21:01Thank you
21:02Thank you
21:02Damn girl
21:03I've seen your boots, huh?
21:04Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
21:05I'm from the north of Mexico
21:07My cowboy boots
21:08They are part of me
21:10Growing up, my parents
21:11They used to own kettle and horses
21:15So we used to go horse riding every single weekend
21:18And what brought you to Ireland?
21:20A relationship that didn't work out
21:23Ah
21:24But now I'm here
21:25We all have those
21:26We all have those
21:26Have you dated anyone since?
21:28No
21:29No
21:29Okay
21:30So you're really putting yourself out there
21:32I'm here on my own
21:34With my cat
21:35Now I'm just trying to
21:37Integrate myself into like the romantic life again
21:40What's your normal type?
21:42Hot
21:43Tall
21:44Okay
21:45I would like to meet like a soft
21:47Kind personality
21:49Gentle
21:50I meant to like
21:51You know like that like Irish type
21:53That is like brown hair
21:54Like blue eyes
21:56Someone that appreciates small things
21:58I just appreciate the beauty of
22:00Being alive
22:03With Kyra
22:04There's so much to appreciate
22:07Maybe too much
22:09I could probably do a bit more social anxiety
22:12Because like I just don't care
22:19I knew I was going to do that
22:21Everybody does the same
22:22I've been single like a year and a half
22:24And I just feel like I'm ready to put myself out there again
22:27And start dating
22:28How do you feel?
22:29Good
22:29I'm looking forward to just getting stuck in now
22:32Do you know what I mean?
22:33Yeah
22:33A bit apprehensive
22:34But I also like doing things for the plot
22:36And just thought it would be a good story
22:37Hey
22:38Hello
22:39Lovely to meet you
22:41Sorry

22:48Yeah
22:49Yeah
22:49Yeah
22:50Where are you from?
22:52I'm living in Dublin at the moment
22:54I've been here for nearly a year
22:56How about yourself?
22:57I am from Mexico
22:58Oh yeah
22:59Are you living in Dublin?
23:00Yes
23:01Right now I'm childminding
23:02Like
23:03And I do like tours with
23:04You know like those groups of Italians
23:07Are like 15 year olds
23:09Oh no
23:10And they go around town
23:11Well I have to mind them
23:13Hey how are you?
23:15You both hit the jackpot I think here
23:17You're very well matched
23:23Enjoy
23:23Lovely thank you
23:24Oh how cute
23:25Will we just go right down the middle?
23:28Yeah do it
23:29Oh it's actually quite soft
23:31Go on
23:32Jesus we are years at this
23:34Look at this
23:35Look at this
23:35How are you married?
23:38How would you make it known that you fancy someone?
23:41I think I can't take this part
23:42You can tell by someone's eyes
23:44And if they're into you
23:45Or you're into them you know
23:46Cause you might be
23:47Catch yourself staring for a second
23:48You're like Jesus Christ
23:49Cooper Cooley I want you know
23:51I have a bread rack there
23:52Yeah
23:53Mmm
23:53I've just seen yours
23:55I was in the wars alright
23:56Kind of a mark here
23:58I was trying to kick a ball when I was younger
23:59And I fell
24:01Clung the rad
24:02Parents had to bring me to A&E
24:03Brust open
24:04Jesus
24:04But then in my twenties
24:06Out on a night out
24:07I went to go open a door
24:08And when the lads kicked it
24:09Swung shut
24:10Bang
24:10Split my eyebrow
24:12So all here?
24:13Yeah all
24:13This side of the head is not a good area for me
24:15Oh my god
24:17How about you?
24:18In the wars
24:19Actually I broke my neck last year
24:20When I was bull dancing
24:21Oh fuck
24:23I wasn't expecting to say that
24:25Yeah
24:25One day I went into
24:26It's called a shoulder mount
24:28Not a hard move
24:29It's one of the basic moves
24:30I do it all the time
24:31I do it now
24:31And I just went up
24:34And I came straight down
24:35When I got to hospital
24:36I got all my scans and everything
24:38It was absolutely terrifying
24:39I was so scared
24:41I was so so scared
24:43But luckily I didn't have any paralysis
24:45It was fixable
24:47I was out of work
24:48For about six months
24:49I couldn't train
24:50For like a year
24:52Yeah you did get back on the pole
24:54100%
24:54Yeah
24:55First thing I did was a shoulder mount
24:57Get on that horse
24:58I actually have a broken toe at the moment
25:00Oh really?
25:01I see why they paired us up there
25:03Yeah
25:03Two clutzes
25:04Two liabilities there
25:06Yeah
25:08So I've only ever had one relationship
25:10Besides myself
25:11I was 16
25:12Until I was 18
25:14And now 20
25:15I was in a 7 year relationship
25:16Oh
25:1714
25:18Until
25:1921
25:2022
25:20I feel like the whole time I was in that relationship
25:23I was still 15
25:25And since the breakup
25:26I feel like I've only grown up
25:28I am soft as fuck
25:30I love love
25:31I'm mad about
25:32So do I
25:32The next girl I'm getting with
25:34Is the girl I plan on being with forever
25:36Like I'm not doing this whole
25:38Situationships
25:38I'm not doing the same people
25:40I'm not getting my award
25:41And if I'm marrying her
25:42Oh God
25:43Just letting you know
25:45Bro
25:47I may have quick now
25:48We could be married in two years
25:49Like
25:50All things going well
25:51Married and three kids
25:53Do you want to get married?
25:55Yeah
25:55Yeah
25:55Definitely want to get married
25:56That's good
25:58Definitely want to have loads of kids
25:59I'm white to have kids
26:01I have a time when I'm having kids
26:04What's that mean?
26:05Yeah
26:05I have endometriosis
26:07You've probably never heard it before
26:08So it's like basically a thing
26:10Where it affects you having children
26:11Why?
26:12I start experiencing very bad pain
26:15In my early teens
26:16And I was in the hospital for years on end
26:18And they didn't know what was going on
26:20They told me it was all in my head
26:22And sent me home
26:24At 16 I was diagnosed
26:26And then at 18 I had my fore surgery
26:28Which needs to happen a lot
26:31For it to actually stay at bay
26:33Knowing that I wanted kids
26:35Knowing that that can affect it
26:37Was hard for me
26:39But I've gotten to accept that
26:41Yeah, this is going to be the way it is
26:4425, 26 is probably the age where
26:47It will be harder
26:49No, it will be much harder
26:50That happens
26:51I don't want to get busy
26:52Come on, we just like it
26:56Might as well get going
27:02Are you nervous?
27:03I am a bit nervous
27:04Yeah, I am
27:05I feel like it takes a bit of time
27:07To like, you know
27:08Get to know someone
27:09And chat away
27:10Physically
27:11I don't really have a type
27:12But I guess
27:13A nice smile is something I really like
27:16Nice hair
27:17But yeah, overall I think
27:19Personality is more important to me
27:21I'm in the border
27:22I'm in Juarez
27:23Like it's like next to El Paso, Texas
27:26What is Texas like?
27:27I would say like
27:28Texas is Mexico
27:29Texas West Mexico
27:30So in my brain it's like
27:32We won't get into colonization
27:33Oh yeah
27:34That's nice
27:35I have a Native American heritage
27:39Through my dad
27:42He's 80% Chiricahua
27:45There's this whole little story
27:46That we come from a reservation in Texas
27:49And then we were running away
27:50In the 1800s
27:53We ended up in Chihuahua
27:54And we had to change our name
27:56Do you go to Texas much?
27:58I would go every single weekend
27:59To visit my auntie in El Paso
28:01Oh no way
28:02Yeah
28:02We have like a border crossing visa
28:05I have a permit to go there
28:07And I usually fly through the United States
28:10To get to my city
28:12Like I just have to cross the border
28:13And now I'm like
28:15Should I go through the United States?
28:18Like are they going to look through my phone?
28:20Are they going to see them for a policy?
28:21Yeah
28:22Are you into politics?
28:24Ah
28:24Everything is political
28:26Everything is political
28:28Every single thing is political
28:30I actually
28:31I did my undergrad in political science
28:33And then I did a masters in public health
28:36Which I loved
28:37Like I really wanted to go
28:38I was going to do a PhD
28:40Girl
28:41Yeah
28:41You're doing a lot
28:42I love that
28:43I love that
28:44You're educated
28:44I know
28:45I would have loved to go into that kind of sphere
28:48And make a difference
28:49But
28:50I'm in tech sales now
28:52So
28:53Your soul
28:54I've sold my soul
28:55But
28:56I'm involved in like other aspects in the company
28:59Like I run their pride and employment resource group
29:03So I feel like that kind of feeds my soul
29:05I would love to be in that sector
29:08Maybe further down the line
29:10But I definitely enjoy doing it on the side
29:12And it's something I'm very passionate about
29:15Yesterday I was at the botanic gardens
29:17And we were looking at the squirrels
29:19And I was telling the kids like
29:21Those grey squirrels are colonizer squirrels
29:24The redhead squirrels
29:25Like they were killed by them
29:27Just bringing it back to what you're saying
29:29Like everything's political
29:31Like everything is political
29:33Yeah, it is
29:35I just see the sun outside
29:36I go right on the bike
29:38So if you go right on the bike
29:39And that's it
29:39Then they're back in
29:39So when you say mountain biking
29:41Is that then there's
29:43What's it called?
29:43Like when you're in the woods
29:44And then you do
29:45Yeah, that's it, yeah, trails
29:45Yeah, all trails
29:46Yeah, yeah, no, I love that
29:48Yeah
29:49That's amazing
29:50And I'm not hurt when you're bummed
29:51You need to have a really good
29:53Well, you probably do, yeah
29:55Do you get chatted up at all?
29:56No
29:58I don't get out much
29:59I know
30:00I get out
30:01Like I do mountain biking myself
30:02And I go up to the mountain
30:03For two or three hours
30:04And stuff like that
30:04And you might meet the odd sheep
30:06That's about it
30:07You know the reservoir lake
30:10In Bohrnabrine
30:11I do
30:11So that's where
30:12I cycle it out there
30:13Yeah, the whole loop
30:14I love that loop
30:14That's what I do once a weekend
30:15So I bring my dog to that
30:17And it's like
30:18That's like five minutes from my house
30:20Oh wow
30:20And then you
30:22Kind of drive into that scenery
30:24Yeah
30:24And I have to pinch myself sometimes
30:26And I'm like
30:27I live like that
30:28Yeah
30:28Like this is so amazing
30:30Dating over here
30:31Is a little bit different
30:32Than at home in Germany
30:33Um
30:33You know as Germans
30:35We tend to be quite forward
30:37Um
30:38And direct
30:39Also in Germany
30:40You'd usually split the bill
30:42So I ended up kind of having arguments
30:44Then with the dates
30:45Can I take these plates out
30:46They're really free
30:47Are you finished?
30:48Perfect
30:48Did you enjoy it?
30:48It's good
30:50Outside in or inside out?
30:52What did you start?
30:52Outside in
30:53Small forks
30:54For the starters
30:55Yeah but the small forks
30:57Are for the starters
30:58Yeah
30:59And I took the big ones
31:01So we didn't have a starter
31:02So what I should have done really
31:04Is taken away the small ones
31:06Because that was the first planet
31:07Can I say
31:07Okay we'll look like idiots here
31:15I'd love to own my own restaurant as well
31:17Oh yeah?
31:17Yeah that's my long term dream
31:19The old kind of Berlin style
31:20And then have that kind of
31:21The really good music in the background
31:22Yeah yeah I like that
31:23You know just that nice vibe
31:24I'd go there yeah
31:25Going on best
31:26Me the bigger
31:28I enjoyed myself
31:29Yeah she was stunning
31:30I think there was a bit of a spark there
31:31Yeah so
31:32She might be able to show me around Dublin later on we'll see
31:34Yeah
31:35I never really come to Dublin
31:36Unless it's like
31:37There's a gig on or like
31:38The odd time I go to the Vivo
31:39My dad to watch a match
31:40Oh lovely
31:41Like I wouldn't have any
31:42At the moment
31:43Have any reason to go up to Dublin

32:24That we're going to have a nice time together

32:28So
32:28I knew that maybe within the first 30 seconds

32:54Really?
32:55On her 19th birthday
32:56My mum is like my best friend
32:57I love that
32:58It was great growing up having a young mum
33:00Like since I got older she's more like my sister and my best friend
33:04And your mum is young isn't it?
33:05My mum is 29
33:06My mum is going to be fuming

33:34If one of them doesn't approve you
33:35It's like
33:36I'm very lucky though
33:37Right
33:38I'm a bit of a charmer
33:39You know what man?

34:30With the kids and stuff like that
34:32My life is busy, you know
34:33So if I involve someone else into the puzzle
34:35I want to be able to have someone that I respect
34:37And respect my time
34:38I get that
34:39That's where I told you from, you know
34:40I just have one child with just my dog

34:45Only that
34:46Only that
34:47I'm fully settled in my life
34:49So I'm looking for a connection that is really convincing
34:52So you kind of make space for that other person
34:55In my twenties and thirties
34:56I was always looking for my place
35:00And now I feel like I've found it
35:01Like I live in this cute little house on the outskirts of Dublin
35:04It's like living wise
35:06I finally feel like I have arrived
35:08Yeah, so what's the next phase for you then?
35:12Um...
35:13Have you thought about that?
35:14I'm sorry, that's going 15
35:16I don't feel like I don't want to
35:17I'm not necessarily the person who says
35:19I want to be married
35:20Yeah, I know that too
35:21I do love my freedom
35:23But I want to share life
35:24Yeah
35:25Whatever I put into a relationship now
35:27Would be lessons I've learned from the past
35:29I'm not the same kind of guy who was five years ago
35:31I'm more independent, more stronger
35:32I have an older sister
35:34She has two boys
35:34They are nine and twelve
35:36Love them to death, absolutely
35:38But her whole life evolves around the children
35:41There's literally no time for her
35:42No time to go to the hairdresser, do her nails, nothing
35:44Yeah
35:45It doesn't look like an attractive way of life
35:48Mm-hmm
35:50Yeah
35:50It's still...
35:53You really gotta want it
35:54Oh, I know that too, yeah
35:55There's no going back
35:56Once you go down that route
35:57There's no going back too as well
35:58No!
35:59You can't shove it back in
36:02Maybe
36:03I'm not sure if I'm really into...
36:10I think I'm happy with the dog
36:11Yeah
36:19Can you cook?
36:20No
36:21Oh, my bollocks
36:22Why, can you not cook?
36:23No
36:23I'd fucking burn water
36:25No, my man's great though
36:26My man has me dinner on the table
36:27Every time I'm home
36:28That's like my nanny
36:29Your nanny cooked through that, is she?
36:31Love just makes you feel proper
36:32You know what I mean?
36:33That's what I want
36:33I want a reason
36:34To go home and be happy
36:36When they say
36:37Oh, will you walk late tonight, James?
36:38I'll be like
36:39No, I'm going out on my board
36:40Do you drive?
36:41No
36:42No?
36:42Not at the minute
36:43You live in town, though, so it's Grant
36:44But you're living in some Dawkins a bit like
36:46Yeah, we walk in town, so...
36:48We're grand
36:48Others come over like
36:49What's up after work?
36:51Up to my nanny's
36:52Up to your nanny's
36:52Up to your nanny's for dinner
36:53She can cook me dinner
36:54I think love is having someone
36:56That you can feel safe and content with
36:58Someone that you can just start your own life with
37:02And your own family with
37:03Four people you have to impress before I can say it
37:05My mom
37:06My nanny
37:07Alex
37:07My best friend
37:09And my auntie
37:09When am I meeting them?
37:10Give me a ring there
37:11We'll meet them somewhere now
37:12We'll get it all out of the fuck away
37:13Like...
37:14Did a whole lot of them?
37:15I'd rather be travelling to the deep end here
37:16Like, do you know what, ma'am?
37:22I've been single like a year and a half
37:25And I was seeing a girl for a while
37:27Maybe a year ago
37:29And then I just kind of realised
37:30I just wasn't ready today
37:32And as you know
37:33Lesbians move very quickly
37:35Yeah, they do
37:36Okay, are you bi or are you lesbian?
37:38I'm bi, yeah
37:39I'm bi too
37:41Perfect!
37:42Throughout my whole date and history
37:44And definitely now
37:45I'm very avoidant
37:46Like it definitely takes me a while
37:48To get to that level of giddiness and love
37:52When did you come to Ireland then?
37:54Two years ago I was solo travelling
37:56Met a guy
37:58So I came to Ireland on and off like for that
38:01They were Irish
38:02Oh, they were Irish
38:03And where were you living then?
38:05In Mexico
38:06Yeah, I had like a full on like engineer job
38:09Put my career on pause
38:11The thing that I shouldn't have done
38:13And then I moved into Ireland like full time six months ago
38:18And then like the relationship didn't work out
38:21So I just like moved into on my own
38:23Like did my own thing
38:25It's a bit crazy how like
38:28He went to Mexico four times to visit me within a year
38:32Then I came here and then like within months like that
38:35It was like okay
38:36But you fell in love with Ireland?
38:38Oh, I fell in love with Ireland
38:40Yeah
38:40So at least
38:41Super linings
38:42When you've been through a relationship and then you break up
38:45There is a gap that you have to go out there and find yourself
38:49And you'll feel lonely
38:51But then when you find yourself again having fun and being happy doing you
38:56Then you don't feel sad and lonely
38:59Why would you be into like girls?
39:02I don't overly have any physical preferences
39:04I said a nice smile but she definitely have gorgeous teeth
39:07So that was a view of type
39:09I said like brown hair
39:12I mean
39:14Blue
39:14Oceany
39:15Irish eyes
39:16Yeah
39:18Say that
39:22So he's very kind
39:24He's very friendly
39:25He lives in Carling Fort
39:27Yeah, I enjoyed it
39:28I enjoyed the company as well
39:29Cool
39:30As soon as I've seen you chatting
39:32I said this is going well
39:33Yeah, there's no quiet moments
39:36Into mountain biking
39:37And he's also loving his freedom and stuff
39:39Um
39:41It's
39:41It's just not my time
39:42I hope it's not going to be awkward later on
39:48You know
39:49When we do like
39:50Do you want to see each other romantically again?
39:52Uh
39:53Maybe just be like
39:54Oh, he was super nice
39:55And everything
39:56But no spark
39:58Can I say that?
39:59Please
40:00That's a fair thing to do now
40:03You know
40:04Oh, okay
40:06No
40:07If he wants to pay
40:09Then pay
40:12It's really outgoing
40:14So
40:14I'm so glad
40:15Because if he was really quiet
40:16I'd be like
40:19And he's like
40:20I'm gonna ring my man
40:21And I'm in any of the talks
40:22I'm like
40:22What?
40:23But my man would be the exact same
40:25My man I'd want to talk to
40:27It's going well
40:28It's going well
40:28But I can tell that it's like a
40:30Like it's slowly building up
40:32I do feel like we're both like slow
40:34Like
40:34We're both like
40:36Okay
40:37Girlies like
40:37Feminine energy
40:38So we have to take our little time
40:41I'm down for it
40:42I like it
40:43We're very like
40:45Similar
40:46Like beliefs wise
40:47And morals
40:48Nice
40:49Like I know we probably shouldn't be talking politics on the first date
40:52But we are
40:53Well if it's working that's grand
40:55I wouldn't be with someone who's kind of my values and morals weren't like similar
40:59I think you're right
41:00You know
41:00Because your values affect everything
41:02Yeah
41:05What do you think makes for a good relationship?
41:07I think it's just when the two individuals can completely be themselves
41:13When they just have a happiness aura to them
41:17I love like going getting a coffee in a coffee shop before work
41:22Reading my book
41:23Are you a reader?
41:25Yeah
41:25I read at night before I go to bed
41:28Choosing every single day to love that person
41:32Choosing every single day to stay there
41:35Yeah
41:36So that's what my sister's hat looks like
41:38He's an angel
41:39He's an angel
41:40They're so mesmerizing aren't they?
41:42How old is he?
41:43She 12
41:43Oh
41:44Oh
41:45I got him when I was 15
41:47I brought him to Ireland with me like how could I not?
41:50No
41:50They're such a huge comfort
41:53They're the best friend
41:55Yeah
41:55They're your children
42:04Oh
42:04Are we there already?
42:05We've come to the end
42:06I'm so sorry
42:07Yeah
42:09Can we split?
42:10Can we split the bill?
42:13I'm gonna pay for all of it, alright?
42:14Alright, alright
42:15Yeah, I'd rather do that
42:16You know?
42:19Yeah
42:19Make my treat, alright?
42:22Whatever you wanna do it
42:23My Irish friend told me not to argue
42:25Don't
42:26Yeah
42:26Don't
42:26Yeah
42:26Cause it just ends up being desperate
42:28You know that's it
42:29Yeah
42:29Thanks very much
42:30You're very welcome
42:32No problem at all
42:33No problem at all
42:37So
42:38Would you guys like to see each other romantically again?
42:42Um
42:43I thought you were definitely engaging
42:45Very attractive
42:46Um
42:47Totally respectful
42:47And it's great company
42:49I just kinda
42:50Values kinda more or less didn't align
42:53I think it was a very nice evening
42:55So I would love to kind of get to know you better on a friendship level
42:58If that's alright
42:59Yeah
43:01Felt the same kind of
43:02Yeah
43:02Yeah
43:03Felt the same
43:05Beautiful lady
43:06Couldn't fault anything about her
43:07But
43:07Lin is coming from a background with no children
43:08I'm coming from a background with children
43:09So
43:10Values differ
43:11Totally enjoyed the experience
43:12And time went by so quickly as well
43:15If you ever get too loud with this
43:16Just look us up
43:17Oh for sure
43:18That's about it
43:19And mountain biking
