06:06of this setting. What tour is that place? I think it's a type of saint. Are you spiritual?
06:14What are you believing? We're getting deep already aren't we? We haven't had dinner yet.
06:18What is it? I'm joking. I'm being silly. This is so deep. I feel like we should have
06:23some difficulties. You think this is deep. I don't even think this is deep. Really?
06:25So are you deep too though or no? You just keep everything light. I like to keep it light.
06:28Yeah. Why is that? Is it because I like to see you? I'm being deep. I'm curious.
06:32We'll figure it out later. It sounds like you're getting deep. We'll figure it out later.
06:34We'll figure this all out later. You know? Hey beautiful peoples. Now your table's
06:37ready so come over here with me. I'll take you a beautiful table. Lead the way sir. Lead the
06:42way. Jump in. Love that. Next up is Chad. A dog groomer who's looking for that special
06:51someone to cuddle up to at night. I'm a cuddler. I love cuddles. I just get cuddles from dogs
06:59every day. So being signal all you got is your pillow or my housemate and he doesn't really
07:05like to cuddle. Since I build the dog grooming business I basically work six days a week so
07:10the only time I really get to meet girls is if I go out to the pub on special occasions
07:16and unfortunately the girls you meet at the pubs usually aren't the ones that you want to take
07:20home to mum. So what do you do with yourself? I own a dog grooming business. Oh right. I did
07:25used to bartend though. Is there really? Yeah when I was traveling I did a bit of bartending. There we
07:29are my friend. Thank you very much. I like to travel so I'd like someone outgoing and fun and
07:35definitely have to love dogs and love animals in general. Could the woman of Chad's
07:40dreams be animal lover and intrepid globetrotter Steph. A waitress with a lot more to her than
07:47meets the eye. People probably think I'm very high maintenance and ditzy which I can be but
07:54not all the time. I've been single for about a year now. I guess I just always put dating
08:00is like not a priority. I like traveling. I travel a lot and always I'm like working. I'm workaholic
08:08so yeah I don't have a lot of time for dating. I love her. Look at you. Oh. You look
08:15incredible. Thank
08:16you. My ideal man would be anyone that loves animals as much as I do. Big tick, big plus. Someone
08:24that can also explore the world with me and someone who's handsome as well. It helps.
08:30We've got a very fine looking gentleman waiting at the bar for you. Oh really? Yeah so why don't
08:34you head down to meet him and hope you have a wonderful day. Okay thank you.
08:39How you doing? Hi. I'm good. How are you? Good. I'm Chad. I'm Steph. Nice to meet you.
08:44Nice to meet you. Can I drink? Oh yes. I definitely love one. Have a seat. Oh my goodness. Are
08:52you
08:52nervous? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But like as nervous as you are on a normal day. Yeah right. Okay.
08:59Maybe me a little bit more. Anyway. She's obviously gorgeous. Um. But you know looks will always
09:05fade. But that banter and if you have similar humour that's gonna last. So I very much focus
09:10on that. What have you been doing? Are you from? I'm from Brisbane actually. Oh Gold Coast.
09:14Oh really? Yeah. There you go. Brisbane is nice. But like Gold Coast is as busy as I can
09:18get. Yeah. Like I'm like a small town boy. Yeah. Whereabouts? Where from? Uh New Zealand.
09:23Okay. Yeah. Gold Coast for like the last 10 years. Yeah. And Canada for two in between.
09:28Oh really? Where in Canada? Uh like small snowboarding town called Banff. Oh my goodness I've been to
09:32Banff. No way. I love Banff. Yeah. What? Did you uh do any snowboarding and stuff there? Thank
09:36you. Um I didn't. I went through like LA and did like the Vegas and Arizona kind of. I did
09:42the exact same. Oh really? Yeah. Very handsome. He has the whole gentleman kind of vibe going.
09:50How old are you? Uh just turned 29. Oh nice. I'm 30 so yeah. 30? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
09:56You're good there. Thank you. With Chad and Steph's date off to a flying start. Let's see
10:04if Angelique and James are diving deep. Cheers. Cheers. I like your nails. Oh thank you so much.
10:09Yeah. White pink. It reflects my future because it has to be bright. Yeah I like it.
10:15Wow. Cool. Good sparkling water or what? It gets ya. It's like a zap. I don't need to go
10:21zip zip zip. Like it gets ya. You know what I'm saying? It zaps ya. I like it. You're funny.
10:25Oh you're
10:25lovely. You're a lovely human. Thank you. You're so wholesome. You know. Really? I feel like I'm a
10:29little bit more out there than most people. Oh wow. You do wow. Okay. No. Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh
10:37wow.
10:37I love James's energy. He's awesome. And his cats are cool too. But I want to get into the hard
10:43stuff. Okay. I want to see who you are. I'm not beating around the bush no more. When's your birthday?
10:47May 1st. What's the start sign? Oh so you're not a sheep. You're a wolf. Wow. Sheep sounds boring eh?
10:53Yeah. It's like meh. But tourists are very friendly. Are you? I feel like you're an optimist.
10:58What's that? Like an optimistic person. What does optimistic mean? Optimistic is like a happy
11:02person. Like you're very happy. I feel like we've already met before. What is this? See? I'm
11:06gonna read. I'm gonna check right now. You are gonna read people. I'm actually like a psychic. Really?
11:10So I can see things before it happens. Really? I've got like intuitive gifts.
11:16Are you into your crystals? Yeah. You're a crystal girl? Yeah. Do you have a dream
11:20catcher on the side of the bed? Angelique is a big crystal person. When I first thought
11:26about it I was like I did some weird stuff. She's definitely out there but I don't like
11:30her. She's a funny girl. Coming up. I used to play NRL football. It's Matty Cooper.
11:40Matt sets hearts aflutter. Do you reckon I could get a photo? And it's not just his date.
11:46He was the date crusher. I think he's got a man crush. Will the stars align for our kooky
11:54couple? Well she's cute but I don't know anything about free spirit and bloody star song.
11:58No. You're one of those? Yeah. She's a crystal lady. Then later. Luke here is gonna make you
12:02drink for you. The perfect icebreaker is in the cocktail shaker. Perfect. And has Luke off
12:09to a great start. It feels like I'm in a romantic comedy.
12:22At the first date's restaurant love is on the menu. Are you vegan or anything like that?
12:27No. Are you vegan? Oh thank god no. And while some couples find common ground others find
12:33middle ground. I am vegetarian so I can't have a lot of things. I'll eat anything. Okay. I don't
12:40even know what I can have. Oh yeah I can have this thing. Okay. If it's like gnocchi it'll
12:43be good. I'll try the exact same thing. Oh really? Yeah. He did order the same
12:47vegetarian meal. Did he do that on purpose? Oh my god. He didn't need to do that. That's
12:52nice. What do you do for a job? I'm a waitress. I was a waiter and a bartender for like
12:56four
12:57years when I did travelling. Yeah. I've done it for 10 years. I used to live in London
13:02and I did the exact same thing when I was out. Oh sick. So you don't heaps to travel? Yeah.
13:06How
13:06many countries? It's close to 90. What? No way. I've been around. Yeah. Oh now I feel
13:12like I haven't done anything at all. No. My goal is to see the entire world before I go. Every
13:16single country. I'm about to go to Antarctica. I'd love to go to Antarctica. Yeah. Well it's
13:21the only continent I've been around. What can you do there though? Like look out for polar bears? There's no
13:26polar bears in the south.
13:28No? No. Penguins. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. You can hunt some penguins. Is it like a commonly known thing and
13:34I just stand dumb? Yeah. You're stupid. I just think snow probably. No. No. No. Yeah. I love banter. When
13:41you're going back and forth and if you roast me a little bit. Like when's your favourite country? Living in
13:47Canada was incredible. Yeah. I learned to snowboard there and then just got hooked on it. Yeah. You snowboard? I
13:52snowboard too. Really? Yes. Nice. I just got back from New Zealand. Oh. Snowboard trip in Queens. Oh.
13:57Oh my goodness. Did you go to Snow Machine? No. That's what was there? So good. They do it in
14:01Japan as well. They're doing it in February in Japan. That's my next trip. Oh really? Snowboarding in Japan. I
14:06haven't been snowboarding there yet and that's, that is on my to-do list as well. Yeah.
14:11Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool.
14:17Next in the First Dates restaurant is single mother of two, Cherie. I've had a very long marriage. I was
14:26with my husband from 15 till 42. Then not long after I met somebody else and had a five year
14:34relationship and they're basically the two significant relationships of my life.
14:41Ultimately, what I would like is to find a long term relationship. Done. Spicy margarita. Spicy margarita. I was hoping
14:49it would be on there.
14:51Having somebody to come home to or they're coming home to you. Dinner's together. Someone to wake up next to.
15:00Somebody who's humble.
15:01Okay. Self-confident, but you know, quietly, quietly confident. Physically, I'd be proper. Somebody who looks like they look after
15:10themselves without being over the top. Like, say, Jason Momoa.
15:20Well, Cherie, it's no Jason, but he's the next best thing. Former professional NRL player also voted the sexiest. Single
15:31dad, Matt Cooper.
15:34I was with my wife for 21 years. It has been good being single for a bit over two years
15:39now. But I think everyone needs someone, you know, in their life. It's a cool feeling, you know.
15:47The reason I'm single at the moment is because I feel like I don't know what the girl's intentions are.
15:54Are they in the relationship because they actually like me as a person?
16:00Not Matt Cooper, the footy player. Not Matt Cooper, the person who's been on TV. You know, Matt Cooper, just
16:09the dad.
16:12So what I'm looking for in a partner would be someone who's honest, is themselves. Don't put on a persona
16:19just because you sit next to me. I like brunettes, nice eyes, pretty face.
16:28Hello.
16:29Hi, how are you?
16:30I'm good. I'm Matt.
16:32Nice to meet you.
16:33Yeah, you too.
16:34That wasn't awkward, sorry. I haven't had enough to drink yet.
16:38That's all right.
16:39He is obviously attractive.
16:43Yeah.
16:44What can I get you to drink, Matt?
16:46Matt, could I get a sparkling water, please?
16:47No problem at all.
16:48Yes. Yeah, I don't drink.
16:51I was about to say, do you not drink?
16:52Yeah, no.
16:53Okay.
16:54Sparkling water, Matt, this for you.
16:56My pleasure.
16:56Cheers, man.
16:58He looks familiar.
17:00Cheers.
17:01Cheers.
17:04He fully is.
17:06It's Matty Cooper.
17:08Come on.
17:09I'm trying to compose myself.
17:11It's really difficult.
17:12I didn't even think you were that important.
17:15There's many things you don't know about me.
17:18What do you do?
17:19I manage social workers and we help to keep families together.
17:24Awesome.
17:25Awesome.
17:25Yeah.
17:26That's great.
17:26And you?
17:28So I do a bit of everything because I used to play NRL football.
17:35So I do stuff for the NRL still.
17:39I don't really watch a lot of sport.
17:41I model for Lowe's.
17:44Clearly, I was unaware.
17:47He was an NRL player.
17:51Yeah.
17:51So I don't actually have a job.
17:54You don't have a Monday to Friday.
17:55Yeah.
17:56I don't have a Monday to Friday.
17:57Yeah.
17:58I just get jobs here and there, which is good.
18:04I was really excited about having a date with Cherie.
18:07She didn't know who I was.
18:08She didn't know what I did.
18:10It was more just getting to know me, really.
18:13That was great.
18:16As Matt enjoys Cherie getting to know the real him, James wants to get to know the real Angelique.
18:22I've got a question.
18:23Is your real name Angel?
18:25My middle name's Angel.
18:26What's like your...
18:27Real name's Angelique.
18:28What do you want me to call you?
18:29You can call me Ting.
18:30That's my Vietnamese.
18:31It means Angel and be it.
18:32Tim?
18:33Ting.
18:34Ting.
18:34Ting.
18:34Like a little ting?
18:36It's like ting.
18:36Yeah.
18:37Ting.
18:37Ting.
18:38Ting.
18:39Ting.
18:40Okay, ready?
18:41Ting.
18:42Ting.
18:43Ting.
18:45What I like about Angelique is the fact that she's definitely something different.
18:49She's out there.
18:50Yo.
18:52She's quite more of a hippie feel, a little bit more out there than what I'm normally used
18:55to.
18:56What's that tattoo there?
18:57On your hands?
18:57They're swords.
18:58Or like, I feel like it's like straight.
19:02There's no meaning to any of them, to be honest.
19:03Serious?
19:04I just like the look of them.
19:05Do you believe that this world is all symbolism around us?
19:10Do you ever see things and you keep seeing certain signs and stuff?
19:12Do you mean like a stimulation?
19:14Like, no, like, you see an animal all the time.
19:17Like, that could be your spirit animal.
19:19I don't really see, like, animals, but, like, sometimes I'm like, I want to get that car.
19:23I like that car.
19:24I feel like James.
19:26He's more light-hearted.
19:27I'm a woman that likes to dig deep.
19:28I'm going down in the ocean.
19:29He's just staying on the waves.
19:31Yeah.
19:48It's hot in here.
19:49Yeah, you can fan me.
19:50Oh, love that.
19:51Is that better?
19:53Three couples are in the market for love.
19:55Can I get an espresso martini, please?
19:57You want an espresso?
19:58Okay, you know what, I'll have another one.
19:59Two espressos?
20:00Yeah, two anxiety juices.
20:02On the way.
20:03While first date jitters get to some...
20:05I'm a bathroom quickly.
20:06Others have a little help to break the ice.
20:09I like the hairstyle, brother.
20:10Yeah, man.
20:11It's really cool.
20:11I've been growing it for about three years.
20:14Yeah?
20:14Yeah.
20:14It looks really, really healthy.
20:16Is it straight or curly?
20:17It's a bit curly at the bottom.
20:19A little uniqueness.
20:22Meanwhile, James is not quite convinced he's found the one.
20:27Yeah?
20:27Hey, what's happening?
20:28I'm up for you.
20:29Have you done?
20:29Oh, no, no.
20:30I'm in the bathroom.
20:32Oh, right.
20:33Yes.
20:33You met her?
20:34Yeah, I met her.
20:34She's a nice chick in all that.
20:36Bit of a free spirit.
20:37Don't really know what that means, but she's cool.
20:38Is it going well?
20:39Oh, she's cute, but I don't know anything about free spirit
20:42or the free world and bloody star signs and all that stuff.
20:45No, you one of those?
20:46Yeah, she's a crystal lady.
20:48It's all right.
20:49She's a nice chick, but we'll see how it goes.
20:50Get back out of the area.
20:52Okay, bye-bye.
20:56While James questions his differences with Angelique,
21:00Chad and Steph explore how to overcome theirs.
21:04Enjoy.
21:04This looks beautiful.
21:05How long have you been vegetarian?
21:07About a part of 10 years, I'd say.
21:08Just like a dietary choice?
21:10Um, I just really like animals.
21:13Me too.
21:14Oh, you do?
21:15Yeah, of course.
21:15She loves animals.
21:17That's awesome.
21:18My dad has a farm.
21:19Actually?
21:20Oh my God, my parents have a hobby farm too.
21:24I love that.
21:25The more we were talking, the more I was like,
21:28yeah, we weirdly have a lot in common.
21:30You have pets?
21:30I live in an apartment building.
21:32Oh, okay.
21:33I am a dog groomer though.
21:34Oh, really?
21:35Yeah, so I own a dog grooming business.
21:37I love that.
21:37So I get my dog fix every day.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Seeing as I don't have one.
21:41If you were to get a dog, what free would you get?
21:43A staffer.
21:44They're the cutest face.
21:45Super affectionate.
21:46I'm very much like a come lick my face all the time and I'll paddle you all day.
21:51Love that.
21:52Do you have a...
21:52I have a cat.
21:54Do you have a cat?
21:54Are you more of a cat person or dog?
21:56I'm more of a cat person, but I love all animals.
21:59Me too.
21:59Yeah.
22:00I feel we had lots to chat about.
22:02Like, yeah, conversation was great.
22:04Yeah.
22:06All right, cool.
22:10With the conversation flowing, there's one final date set to arrive.
22:15I grew up in quite a religious household.
22:18Yeah, it was good because it gave me great morals in my life.
22:2224-year-old builder Luke hopes to find a nice Christian girl he can take home to meet his mum.
22:28Oh, my God.
22:28So, my perfect girl would be someone that's able to kind of have, like, the values that
22:33I have never actually brought a girl home.
22:36I definitely want to introduce someone to my parents, hopefully, in a future, but it
22:41just hasn't happened yet.
22:43I guess, like, everyone's, like, using dating apps and wanting just to meet up for, like,
22:48a coffee, but, like, not, like, the old way where, like, you'll just meet someone at
22:50a bar and, like, get a drink that way.
22:53So, I wanted to give it a try and see if maybe I'll find love in here.
22:58And how's dating been recently?
23:00Dating?
23:01Um, it's been all right, I guess.
23:03It's, um, I've had, like, a few long-term relationships.
23:06Yep.
23:06But nothing too crazy.
23:08Been single for a while?
23:09About a year now.
23:10Yeah.
23:12Ah, I'm just trying to think of some gestures, like, romantic gesture.
23:16Always about, like, something surprising, I guess, but, yeah.
23:19Um, look, you could make your date a drink if you want.
23:22Make a drink?
23:23Yes.
23:23I could teach you to make a drink if you'd like.
23:25Yeah.
23:25Let's do it.
23:26When she gets here, I'll get you behind the bar.
23:28All right.
23:29I'm definitely a romantic at all.
23:31My favourite movie ever is probably Forrest Gump, and I would describe myself as Forrest.
23:37Looking for Jenny.
23:40Could Luke's Jenny be architecture student Kosher?
23:44A hopeless romantic with old-fashioned values.
23:47I just love love.
23:49I love looking at elderly couples on the street when they're holding hands.
23:54That's gonna be me one day.
23:55I'm an old self, and I'm getting more into my vintage fashion.
24:00I just love looking like I've just stepped out of an old Hollywood movie, because it makes
24:05me happy.
24:06I want a love that it just feels like you're watching a rom-com, because I'm very romantic,
24:11so I just want a guy who's also romantic.
24:14I haven't been on a date in a while.
24:16I just don't like online dating.
24:18Being an old soul, I just prefer meeting people organically in the real world.
24:22So I just want something that's gonna feel real.
24:26Something I can experience, something more tangible, I guess.
24:29I just haven't had my luck yet, but hopefully soon.
24:40Hi.
24:41How are you going?
24:42Great.
24:43How are you?
24:43I'm good.
24:44I'm Luke.
24:44Nice to meet you.
24:44Nice to meet you, Luke.
24:45I'm Kosher.
24:46I'm gonna meet you, I'm gonna say.
24:48When she walked into the bar, it really took me back.
24:50It was like, I've never seen anyone dressed like that.
24:53The pearls and the flower, she's so gorgeous.
24:56I reckon it's really cool, like really cool.
24:59And you look stunning by the way.
25:00Oh, thank you.
25:01Oh, you look great too.
25:03So we've got a little surprise for you.
25:05Ooh.
25:06Luke here is gonna make you drink for you.
25:08Also, surprise me.
25:11Okay.
25:11Come around my friend.
25:13Oh, I love this.
25:16Oh.
25:17Okay.
25:19Oh, is he making my cocktail?
25:21Cranberry.
25:23Orange juice.
25:24Nice.
25:24You can add a little flair if you want to.
25:27There we are.
25:28That's it.
25:28Yeah.
25:29I love spontaneity.
25:30I love it.
25:31Now shake the hell out of it.
25:32Like you mean it.
25:34Come where you're from.
25:37Newcastle.
25:41Ooh, how's the technique?
25:43How's the technique?
25:46That's it?
25:46That actually looks really good.
25:47Thanks.
25:47I'm excited to try it.
25:49Thank you, Luke.
25:50Have a taste.
25:51Okay.
25:51I will.
25:51See what it's like.
26:02Perfect.
26:03Yeah?
26:03Ten out of hand.
26:05Thanks so much.
26:06No problem at all.
26:09Very nice to meet you.
26:11You too.
26:11I'll leave you guys to it.
26:12Thank you so much.
26:13Good job.
26:14It tastes delicious.
26:15I'm gonna do something like to surprise it.
26:18I love it.
26:19Aw.
26:20So sweet of you.
26:21How cute.
26:23Aw.
26:23Yeah, it was very romantic.
26:25It feels like I'm in a romantic comedy.
26:28Honestly.
26:29I love it.
26:31So, oh.
26:31Beautiful.
26:34Still to come.
26:35Warren Bay is the best.
26:37No, it sucks.
26:38The couples get real about how they feel.
26:41What's your necklace for?
26:43The key to my heart.
26:44No, not really.
26:45But Will, it's spelled the N for some.
26:47How was the date?
26:48I don't know.
26:49We'll leave it open.
27:02All four dates are on the go.
27:04So, how are you feeling?
27:05Are you all relaxed now?
27:06Well, now I'm feeling very tired.
27:08You seem alive as.
27:09Really?
27:09Externally alive.
27:10Internally dead.
27:11And the more the couples explore their connections.
27:14So, you studying or?
27:15Yeah, I'm studying architecture.
27:17I'm builder.
27:17I love that.
27:19Alyssa got that in common.
27:19It's so funny.
27:21Do you have any, um, like pet peeves?
27:25Yeah, I guess because I've been in the hospitality industry for other people that are route to
27:28wait stuff.
27:29You can tell a lot about them.
27:31It's my number.
27:32Yeah, oh really?
27:32Literally my number one.
27:34There you go.
27:35Yeah.
27:35The more they discover just how much they have in common.
27:39How many kids you got?
27:40Two.
27:41Daughter is 24.
27:42Ah, okay.
27:43And my son is 21.
27:45I've got two daughters.
27:46I've been separated for two and a half years.
27:49Okay.
27:50We met quite early.
27:51Like she was 20, I was 21.
27:55I was 15.
27:56Oh really?
27:57I was 15.
27:58Yeah.
27:59Yeah.
27:59That's young.
28:01Yes, that's young.
28:02It was great to talk to someone who's in the same position as me.
28:07He's got two kids.
28:09I'll show him my daughters.
28:12Oh, they've got the dark hair and blue eyes.
28:15Yeah.
28:15Yeah.
28:16Yeah, they're beautiful.
28:18I did like that he seems close with his family, which is always a good thing.
28:23Kids are number one, so you've got to make sure they're good.
28:27Yeah.
28:33Yeah.
28:34Yeah, that looks good though.
28:37So, are your parents still together?
28:40Hmm.
28:42They're still together.
28:43I think they've been together now for pretty crazy, I think 34 years.
28:4830?
28:48Oh, no way.
28:49Yeah.
28:50I feel like everyone these days is like a short term thing, which is like pretty bad.
28:54I know.
28:54I feel like that's our generation now.
28:56I haven't met anybody like him before.
28:59And I think we both are looking for the same things.
29:02So, I feel like we both want a serious relationship.
29:05And that was very refreshing and lovely to hear.
29:08Yeah.
29:08I feel like you're very old-fashioned though.
29:10Hmm.
29:10Hmm.
29:11Lucky you picked up on that, because I am.
29:13I feel like I'm an old soul.
29:15I feel like you miss like the old way, like you meet someone at a bar at some time.
29:18Yeah?
29:19Mm-hmm.
29:19Mm-hmm.
29:21I've always wanted to meet somebody the organic way.
29:24This is pretty organic, but yeah.
29:26Hmm.
29:26It actually is organic.
29:27Yeah, it is.
29:28Like, we didn't know each other before coming in.
29:30Mm-hmm.
29:30So, I like this.
29:31It's almost like we're going back to the 1940s with these two.
29:35I know!
29:36Old Heart Couple.
29:37Yeah.
29:37It's so cool.
29:39I feel like you're a bit of a romantic as well.
29:41Hmm.
29:41I am?
29:42What's your favourite movie of all time?
29:45I do like the movie Forrest Gump.
29:49Oh my God.
29:51I can't believe she said Forrest Gump.
29:53That's actually my favourite movie.
29:54Is it actually?
29:55It's really cool.
29:56I just reckon it's amazing.
29:57Aww.
29:58Run, Forrest, run.
30:00I started jumping.
30:01You've got no legs.
30:04That's actually really sweet.
30:07I never found anyone like that who just loved Forrest Gump.
30:10That's so cool.
30:11No way!
30:12She was very unique.
30:14She like kind of came out of nowhere and just blew my socks off again.
30:22Do you know where I grew up?
30:24Where?
30:24Byron Bay.
30:26No way.
30:26Swear to God.
30:27Why do you move?
30:28Byron Bay is the best area.
30:29I know it sucks.
30:30I loved it there.
30:31I felt so connected to Byron Bay.
30:33Okay, what did you do after 9 o'clock?
30:36Tea tree late.
30:37Nothing, exactly.
30:37Tea tree late.
30:38I loved going out drinking.
30:39You're not spiritual.
30:40I like to keep it light.
30:42Maybe because you don't like getting vulnerable.
30:46The Dates with James is like going to the ice cream store and you find mango ice cream.
30:52It's very fun and light.
30:53Here's the build, guys.
30:54Thank you, sir.
30:55I'll be back in a moment.
30:57Are you getting it?
30:58Huh?
30:59Of course I am.
31:00What are you talking about?
31:00I'd be offended if you pulled your card out.
31:01Good.
31:02No, I'm not pulling it out.
31:02Thank God.
31:03I wasn't going to.
31:03I'm good.
31:04I'll be pissed off if you did.
31:06Yeah, good.
31:06He's being a gentleman, so I think that's a very good sign about him.
31:10Thank you, sir.
31:11I appreciate it.
31:13Angelique is cool and I don't think it could have gone any better.
31:16We didn't have like one awkward moment of silence or anything.
31:18It was actually really nice.
31:20Come on.
31:20Okay, done.
31:21Let's walk out together.
31:22Wait, wait.
31:22Should I get everything?
31:24Okay, let's go.
31:25See you guys.
31:26Have a good one.
31:28Have a fun night.
31:32Hey.
31:33Hello, Elia.
31:34Hello.
31:37You had a good time, guys?
31:38It was awesome.
31:39You look like you had fun.
31:43Tell me your thoughts on the date.
31:45I had a really good time.
31:46I had so much fun.
31:48I think it was very high vibe.
31:49Yeah.
31:50You know what I mean?
31:51Oh, it's getting...
31:52You're a little bit hot.
31:54Would you like to go on a second date?
32:01Would you like to go on a second date?
32:03I don't know.
32:03I feel like...
32:04The vibes are different.
32:05Like, I think your vibes in that are amazing.
32:08But I didn't see it as more...
32:09I didn't think we were into that.
32:10Personally, I like you as a person,
32:11but I don't think I'd be like,
32:12hey, do you want to come back to mine for a drink?
32:14Yeah.
32:15That's exactly the same.
32:16So it goes the same.
32:16Yeah.
32:17It felt like that.
32:19I don't want to look like the bad guys.
32:21No.
32:21No, honesty is key.
32:22I'm happy that we both felt the same.
32:24I'm very happy.
32:25Honestly.
32:26Yeah.
32:28Thank God we got it out.
32:29Jesus Christ.
32:29Yeah, we needed that.
32:30We needed that.
32:33Yeah.
32:34So are you going to go on a second date?
32:36Probably not.
32:42Anyway, I've had a really good time.
32:44Bye.
32:45Have a good one.
32:45See ya.
33:02It's love o'clock in the First Dates restaurant.
33:05Any injuries?
33:07Too many.
33:08How many injuries?
33:09Too many.
33:14Too many.
33:15What do you think?
33:16They have lots of goats, pigs and chickens.
33:21Means getting to know if your date is Mr. Right.
33:24What's your necklace?
33:25Is it like something sentimental?
33:29Yeah, me and my mum have the same necklace.
33:30Oh, that's so sweet.
33:32To keep us connected, I guess.
33:33Oh, I love that.
33:34That sounds super cringy, but yeah.
33:36No, not at all.
33:38Don't be embarrassed.
33:39I love it.
33:40That's really cute.
33:42So how's your table going?
33:44It's really cute.
33:46Yeah.
33:46It's like annoyingly cute.
33:49You know what I mean?
33:50It's giving like Disney romance.
33:52Yes.
33:52Do you have any like family traditions at all?
33:56Like how were you raised?
33:57Are you religious at all or anything?
33:59Yeah.
34:00I guess my family, um, my family's pretty religious.
34:05Pretty intense.
34:06Yeah.
34:06I grew up in a strict household as well.
34:08I went to Catholic schools and Christian schools growing up.
34:11You should do really good ballads.
34:12Definitely.
34:12That's the thing.
34:13Like I just want someone that's honest.
34:15Someone that has integrity.
34:17Someone that is just loving and caring.
34:20All those values is what I look for.
34:22We definitely have a lot in common.
34:24It's crazy how like our values align like perfectly.
34:27Have you ever brought like a boy home to your parents?
34:30No, actually.
34:31Guys haven't met my parents.
34:33I'm the same.
34:34I still have them.
34:38I feel like because I want to wait for the right guy.
34:41Yeah.
34:41Cause like meeting the parents is a big deal.
34:43Exactly.
34:43You don't want it to like go to waste.
34:44You want to make sure like that's the one.
34:46Definitely.
34:46Yeah.
34:55Here we go guys.
34:57Our candy flowers and our oysters.
35:01Thanks my man.
35:02You were voted the NRL's sexiest player.
35:06Were you?
35:07Twice.
35:08Were you really?
35:09Better than one.
35:10I'm just going to go Google.
35:12Nah, don't Google it.
35:17Wow.
35:19That 2010 Premiership game.
35:23That was impressive.
35:24Did you see me ring?
35:26Oh, real?
35:27The way she was kind of part of our date.
35:32Are you a Dragon supporter?
35:34Um, I'll say today sure.
35:37Today?
35:37Yeah.
35:38She's a Dragon supporter for the day.
35:39We take that.
35:40He was the date crusher.
35:44Honestly, I felt bad for her.
35:47Look, if the date doesn't work out, you know, I can always slot in.
35:50I thought so.
35:51I thought exactly that.
35:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:54Cheers, Rob.
35:54Cheers, guys.
35:56He was very friendly toward the waiter.
35:59I think him being so humble was nice knowing that he has had a successful football career.
36:05I think he's got a man crush, maybe.
36:10Yeah.
36:11Probably.
36:18I love having no shame.
36:27So who do you live with in Brisbane?
36:29I live by myself.
36:30That's awesome.
36:30Yeah.

37:20Yes.
37:21Nice.

37:24Yeah.
37:25About three years.
37:26Three years?
37:26Oh my God, why have you been single that whole time?
37:28I haven't been busy, man.
37:30Yeah?
37:30Are you still busy though?
37:32Yeah, but if I had a person that I'd want to leave more time to, then you know?
37:38Yeah.
37:38Yeah, yeah.
37:43Hello.
37:43Hello again.
37:44Hello.
37:50How was the date?
37:53What's the plan for the rest of the evening?
37:55I don't know.
37:56What about you?
37:58I don't know.
37:59We'll leave it open.
38:00I was just really surprised how much we had in common.
38:02Mmm.
38:04Yeah, definitely.
38:04I enjoyed it.
38:06Alright guys, tell me.
38:07Would you guys like to go on a second date?
38:10Do you want to answer first or should I?
38:12I would.
38:13I would like to go on a second date.
38:17I would also like to go on a second date.
38:19Oh God!
38:20I was literally going to storm out if you said no, I'm kidding.
38:23What's your necklace for?
38:26The key to my heart.
38:27I don't really.
38:28Can I have it?
38:30You're cheeky.
38:35That was a good date.
38:36It was.
38:38It was a really good time.
38:38Thank you for dinner.
38:39And I was still younger.
38:41Do you want to get a cocktail?
38:42Yeah.
38:43Let's go.
39:00With the ref about to blow full time on the night, will it be a fairy tale ending for
39:05NRL star, Matt, and single mum, Cherie?
39:10What do you do in your spare time?
39:12I've been doing, um, KX Pilates.
39:14Is that the one where you...
39:15The reformer on the slider bed.
39:16The slider bed, yeah.
39:17Yeah.
39:18Yeah.
39:18I recently just had a boxing fight on...
39:21Okay.
39:22...Pay-Per-View.
39:23I bet my son would have watched it then.
39:27We got on really well to the lovely lady.
39:30So there's our bill for today.
39:33Sweet.
39:33Who's taking that one?
39:34Are we taking it, man?
39:35The big man.
39:36Don't be silly.
39:37I'm feeling good.
39:38It was a very relaxed day.
39:41Did you put your pin in, man?
39:42I won't look.
39:43You'll never get the card off me anyway.
39:46I don't think I could.
39:47I liked his confidence.
39:49He has quite a, um, presence, but he's softly spoken.
39:53There you go.
39:54Now, if it's not too much to ask, do you reckon I could get a photo?
39:58Yeah, of course.
39:59Do you want me to take it?
40:00Oh, if you could.
40:00That would be lovely.
40:02Of course.
40:02Thank you so much.
40:12Thoughts on the date?
40:18We had a good time, yeah.
40:19A good chat.
40:20It was, um, yeah, really cool.
40:22Yep.
40:23I agree.
40:29Would you guys like to go on a second date?
40:34Um, I had a really good time.
40:36It was great that you really didn't know who I, like, who I was, and it was awesome just to
40:43talk to someone who's in the same situation.
40:46But I just don't think there was the chemistry there.
40:51Yeah.
40:52Yeah, I don't think there was any sparks or anything.
40:56Yeah.
40:56I think the waiter had all the chemistry.
40:59He stole it all.
41:00He stole it all.
41:05While Matt and Cherie amicably part ways.
41:07Hi.
41:07Yeah.
41:10Could old-fashioned couple Kosha and Luke walk hand-in-hand into the sunset?
41:16So, if you were going to make me a vintage outfit, what would you recommend?
41:19I feel like something similar to what you're wearing.
41:22Yeah?
41:22Yeah, because polo shirts were in back in the 50s with high-waisted abs.
41:27I feel like that star would really suit you.
41:29I could be your next project man.
41:32He's just a great guy.
41:33I feel like we had a lot of banter.
41:35What's your shirt made out of?
41:37I think a fabric of some kind.
41:39What is it?
41:40Boyfriend material.
41:43It felt like I was in a rom-com.
41:47Which is just what I wanted.
41:51I hope that he appreciates me and likes me as I am.
41:56Got butterflies.
41:57God, that went by so quick.
41:59I know.
41:59They were like the last ones.
42:01I feel like the date went really well.
42:03We've got so much in common.
42:04Which is very hard to find with someone these days.
42:07Especially with an old soul like me.
42:14Yeah.
42:15Hello.
42:22So, do you guys want to see each other again?
42:26Yes.
42:27I would like to see Luke again.
42:29Lovely.
42:30Luke?
42:32Yeah, I'm Kate.
42:33I thought it went pretty well.
42:35Yeah.
42:37Two old souls.
42:39I know.
42:41I've enjoyed getting to know you.
42:43I reckon it's actually wild how much we have in common.
42:46I know.
42:46What would you want to do on a second date?
42:49I was thinking roller skating.
42:50Oh.
42:51Do you have roller skates?
42:53I don't.
42:54We'll find some.
42:55So, I was actually thinking.
42:56Do you want to go have a drink?
42:58Okay.
42:58Let's go.
43:01Are you going to make me another cocktail?
43:03Maybe.
43:06Second date.
43:07Maybe Antarctica.
43:09Yeah, of course.
43:09Isn't that where most people go on their second date?
43:11Yeah.
43:12I would say so.
43:12Perfect second date.
43:22What was the highlight?
43:24Had to have been the waiter, right?
43:26Definitely the waiter.
43:27Second date for the waiter.
43:28Yeah.
43:29I was going to say.
43:29I think these guys are catching up after.
43:32Yeah.
43:41You want to build your own?
43:43I know.
43:44We can build our own dream house.
43:48Which is vintage.
43:49True.
44:02The other day.
44:03The other day.
44:03The other day.
44:05The other day.
44:06The other day.
