00:00Action.
00:01The first date's restaurant.
00:03Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:06Where the art of matchmaking.
00:08Love potion roll.
00:09Don't be a little spell.
00:10Jodie, you can't call him that.
00:12Meets the chemistry of romance.
00:15You want to feed me?
00:17These hopeful singletons are about to take a brave step into the unknown.
00:22Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:24He has hair.
00:25He has hair.
00:27Sparks could fly.
00:28Bit more spice than I was coping for.
00:31I'm sorry, I can't stop looking at you.
00:33Passions could ignite.
00:35Her eyes are just like blue.
00:37Or burn to ashes.
00:39I was going to ask you who your favourite serial killer is later.
00:42I have a list.
00:43But if the conditions are just right, hearts melt.
00:49You're sweet enough to be dessert, like we don't need dessert.
00:52And magic happens.
00:55On behalf of the team, welcome.
00:58On behalf of the team, welcome.
01:00Welcome.
01:09I don't think there's anything worse than somebody whipping out a card game on a first date.
01:13Funny you should mention that.
01:15Oh!
01:16Guys, you've got to see this.
01:17What is it?
01:18This new app.
01:19It randomises who's going to be your date.
01:21Oh, like choose your fighter.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Oh, cool.
01:24Oh, cool.
01:25Oppa.
01:26Oh, you keep getting Alice.
01:27Did you get a message?
01:28Oh, time on up.
01:29Hey!
01:30See, I love games.
01:31So I'd say if I was on a date and he pulled out a game, I'd be like, oh yeah, let's, yeah.
01:40No, I actually.
01:41Oh my God.
01:42No, that'd be my worst nightmare.
01:43I've always had a crack.
01:44Yay!
01:45Yay!
01:46I'm going to date myself.
01:47Hey!
01:48One go.
01:49See?
01:50Do you ever find that when you play a game with someone, it brings outside to them that
01:53you'd never have known were there by conversation?
01:56Yeah, I, yeah.
01:57And do we actually have to go on dates with all the ones that are chosen on it?
02:01Well, I mean, I'm open.
02:03I didn't expect anything else from you.
02:06I think if you're playing games on a first date, it's not a good sign.
02:09It's different!
02:11I really, really enjoy the process of, like, getting ready to go out.
02:17Dancing in my room, listening to, like, my favourite tunes, all of that stuff.
02:22Kind of deciding what route I'm going to go down because how I physically express myself
02:28changes all the time.
02:30Despite that chameleonic approach to life, Sam does not blend into the background.
02:35Well, look at you, huh?
02:36Hello there.
02:37What's your name?
02:38Sam.
02:39Yeah, you pulled it off, huh?
02:42I think I've been growing over the past year to be, like, more and more creative and, like,
02:46finding other ways to creatively express myself.
02:48Do you like a cocktail?
02:49I do.
02:50I'm a bartender, so, yeah.
02:52Oh, God.
02:53No pressure here, then.
02:54Or I was, I guess.
02:55Like, I don't practice anymore.
02:57I will give you this.
02:59Like that.
03:00In school, there was a lot of judgment, obviously, because we were teenagers.
03:03That was always around me.
03:04And I didn't really become aware of it until I moved to New York.
03:07And I was like, oh, like, you can actually be whoever you want to be.
03:10I was a bartender in New York for years.
03:12Oh, wow.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Okay.
03:15So serious.
03:16Yeah.
03:17When I was in New York and I started, kind of, casually dating, it was the first time
03:20that I experienced, kind of, like, dating multiple people at once and, kind of, like,
03:23having that casual experience of it.
03:25And I have a lot of friends like that from New York that, like, started off as a possible
03:28date and it was just like, nah, we're better friends.
03:31Yeah, well, this is it.
03:32You know, here it's like, no, it doesn't work out.
03:33Block.
03:34Yeah.
03:35Block immediately.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Yeah.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Hey.
03:43Kathleen knows exactly what she wants.
03:46The perfect date.
03:47And that's not all.
03:49I want all the things.
03:51Yeah.
03:52All the bells and whistles that goes along with building something with someone.
03:56Action.
03:57We are biologically wired for connection.
04:02And whether or not we want to call that love or biology, I'll leave that to other people.
04:12It's hard.
04:13That's what I found.
04:14Kind of roadblock after roadblock where it's like, I feel like something's just missing
04:18here, just in terms of being able to find someone who's comfortable of, no, all we have
04:23to worry about is if we want to go on another date together.
04:26Hi there.
04:27What's your name, please?
04:28Kathleen.
04:29Kathleen.
04:30Davis.
04:31Oh, Miss Davis.
04:32Where's the accent from?
04:33North Carolina.
04:34Oh, cool.
04:35So how long are you here?
04:36Over two years now.
04:37Is it two years?
04:38Okay.
04:39But now if I find you somebody, you have to stay a little bit longer.
04:41Exactly.
04:42Exactly.
04:43So we don't need to be a champagne bottle, but maybe just a nice scotch that you sip on or
04:46something like that.
04:47Hello there.
04:48Good to meet you.
04:49Are you a hugger or a handshaker?
04:51A bit of both.
04:52Let's start with that.
04:53Yep.
04:54Let's just bring it in.
04:55Oh my goodness.
04:56The hooks calm the nerves.
04:58Okay.
04:59Okay.
05:00I'm glad we both went for the same thing.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Pleasantries.
05:04Hi, I am Kathleen.
05:05I'm Kat.
05:06What is your name?
05:07Oh my goodness.
05:08Yes.
05:09Sam.
05:10Sam.
05:11Very good to meet you.
05:12If there is that comfort in the conversation that we have, I'm more likely to eventually
05:20have that sexual desire for someone.
05:23I went all out with the nails too.
05:24I'm just like, no, I need to coordinate.
05:26And then my friends made these.
05:28Are you kidding?
05:29Oh my gosh.
05:30Fashion design and friends that make awesome rings and stuff.
05:33It's so cool.
05:34Oh my friend made this as well.
05:35My vagina earring.
05:36Which my nana will kill me if she sees it.
05:41Lead guitarist Jodie might just be Kildare's best kept secret.
05:50Catch her now, before she's discovered.
05:52Have one song or one album or a gig that a promoter happened to be at, blow up and to
05:59make it big one day.
06:00I'm struggling with the door.
06:01Hello.
06:02Why so disappointed?
06:03You know, come on.
06:04It's only door.
06:05Your name please?
06:06Jodie.
06:07Jodie, nice to meet you, Jodie.
06:08Nice to meet you too.
06:09Hey girl, welcome.
06:10Oh, is this eye looking at me, huh?
06:11It is.
06:12What is that, 035?
06:13It is guitar tablature.
06:14So like music.
06:15Ah, okay.
06:16You know the song Smoke On The Water.
06:17Yeah.
06:18That's what that is.
06:19You don't have to be a player to be into music.
06:20If you can talk to me for half an hour about your favorite band, why they're your favorite
06:23band, where they're from, why they're from.
06:24You can say a name.
06:25Can you say a name, please?
06:26Jodie.
06:27Jodie.
06:28Jodie, nice to meet you too.
06:29Jodie.
06:30Jodie, nice to meet you, Jodie.
06:31Good to meet you too.
06:32Hey girl, welcome.
06:33Oh, is this eye looking at me?
06:34It is.
06:35What is that, 035?
06:36It is.
06:37It is guitar tablature, so like music.
06:39Oh, okay.
06:40You know the song Smoke On The Water.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Yeah.
06:44You know why they're your favorite band, where they're from.
06:46Like, I love that.
06:47Hair done.
06:48Makeup done.
06:49Lovely dress.
06:50Here I am.
06:51Slaying.
06:52I heard plenty about slaying this year, and I finally know what it means.
06:56Let's slay it, will we?
06:57We shall.
06:58We shall.
06:59I'm looking for someone that can take a bit of a slagging, because it will be given,
07:03but someone that's caring, generally nice, but a bit cheeky.
07:07I like your cut.
07:08This thing is cool.
07:09I'm going for a bit of an alternative look.
07:13You slaying it, girl.
07:14Slaying?
07:15Yeah.
07:16I'm going to walk away now.
07:17This was cool.
07:18It's lovely to meet you.
07:19He's never used that word before, ever.
07:21That's his first time to use it.
07:22He just learned it.
07:23He said it to me there, that he'd only learned what it was a little while ago.
07:26He only learned what it was, yeah, yeah.
07:27Oh, phenomenal.
07:28He's a very new age man.
07:29What would you like to drink?
07:30Mmm.
07:31When you're in a situation, let's say, where you're at a gig, or you're putting on a gig,
07:34you know, you're not thinking about who's looking at you, or who's good-looking
07:38out here.
07:39I love all things 90s.
07:40Oh, yeah.
07:41Rock, grunge, R&B, jazz.
07:45I'm obsessed.
07:46The 90s was the best for music, for sure.
07:50Everyone wants to strike the right chord on a date.
07:54For Dara, it's all about harmony.
07:56I know they say that opposites attract, but you need to have some common interests, right,
08:03or else what are you going to talk about?
08:05I went to the wrong one.
08:06Don't worry, she did the same thing.
08:11You're meant to be together.
08:12Great, wonderful.
08:13How are you?
08:14Your name, please?
08:15Dara.
08:16Mateo, nice to meet you.
08:17Nice to meet you, Mateo.
08:18Nice to meet you, Mateo.
08:19Nice to meet you, Mateo.
08:20Nice to meet you, Mateo.
08:21Nice to meet you, Mateo.
08:23Music is my love.
08:25We've had a very long-term relationship with one another.
08:28I'm keeping my eyes at you, Neil.
08:29That's exactly.
08:30Just laugh loud.
08:31You don't even notice him in the room.
08:35Is he in the room with this right now?
08:37He's cute.
08:38That's good.
08:39Right, what do you see?
08:40He's got curly hair.
08:41I don't see any tattoos from here.
08:42He's dressed well.
08:43I like a sharp-dressed man.
08:44He looks after himself.
08:45You know what I mean?
08:46It's natural to be feeling the butterflies right before a first date.
08:49Nice to meet you.
08:50Lovely to meet you.
08:51My name is Dara.
08:52Dara.
08:53What's your name?
08:54Joe.
08:55Joe, nice to meet you.
08:56Hello, how are you?
08:57How are you doing?
08:58Nice to meet you.
08:59How are you doing?
09:00Not too bad, yourself?
09:01Good, good, good.
09:02I'm a huge fan of the jacket.
09:03You're...
09:04He's cute.
09:05That's good.
09:06He's cute.
09:07That's good.
09:08Right, what do you see?
09:09You're looking absolutely lovely.
09:10Thank you very much.
09:11I appreciate it.
09:12I like your person.
09:14It's very cool.
09:15I've got one myself, but it's not...
09:16It's gorgeous.
09:17I love it.
09:18It's a baby step.
09:19It's a starter pack.
09:20It's a starter pack.
09:21It only goes down from there.
09:24Now, where are you from?
09:25I'm from Monash Raven and Kildare.
09:27Oh, cool.
09:28Where are you from?
09:29I'm from Lucan, so not too far down the road.
09:31Lovely.
09:32What are you doing yourself for you in college?
09:33I'm a music student and a music teacher.
09:36Oh, cool.
09:37We'll get to talk more about that on the table.
09:39Yeah, yeah.
09:40Cool, cool.
09:41Yeah, it's fun.
09:42What do you do yourself?
09:43I'm a radiographer, so I just graduated myself.
09:45Oh, my God.
09:46You never know what's gonna walk in that door.
09:48What sort of person, what sort of injury.
09:51And that's what's great about it, you know?
09:53Every working day is different.
09:55And if you're working in A&E, like, you never know.
09:58I love teaching.
09:59And what do you teach?
10:00I teach guitar and ukulele lessons.
10:03Oh, cool.
10:04Yeah, I'm a musician as well.
10:05What do you do?
10:06What are you gonna tell me about that?
10:08I play the piano, the guitar, I sing.
10:11Yeah, yeah.
10:12Singer.
10:13I was doing, like, corporate design in Oregon.
10:25Yeah.
10:26And out of a job.
10:28So I found a grad school program in Maynooth and then relocated here.
10:34Oh, my goodness.
10:35It's like, oh, wow.
10:36Okay, two degrees later.
10:37And then it's like, oh, so we don't want to go back to corporate.
10:40Okay, cool.
10:41So, yeah, I'm trying to transition into, like, tattooing.
10:45I called a tattoo studio when I lived in New York.
10:47Yeah.
10:48I didn't do the actual tattooing.
10:51I did, like, the business side of it.
10:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:54I did a course last year and just completely fell in love.
10:57And I actually ended up tattooing latte art that one of my best friends did on her arm.
11:02So it's like she carries a piece of me.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:06It's like I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
11:08Yeah.
11:09I've got slantia and soness.
11:11Because my bartending, every time I would give a drink, I'd get slantia.
11:14So health and happiness.
11:16At this point, it's just sticker sleeve for me.
11:18So you said you're getting into tattooing, right?
11:20Yes.
11:21Yes.
11:22But at that point, it's all, like, portfolio work and stuff right now.
11:25As anxious I get, which is worrying about the future, having something that is so grounding
11:30in the now is so important for me.
11:32So I host an open mic night in town.
11:35Where?
11:36In Wigwam.
11:38Stop!
11:39Yeah.
11:40I would get up and I'd do my poetry and, like, that's kind of been my medium.
11:42But I'd see people get up and I'd see them try out different things.
11:46So, like, they come and they arrive and they do poetry.
11:48Yeah.
11:49And then maybe the next week they'll do comedy and the next week that they'll do singing.
11:52And I'm like, I kind of think I'm ready to start doing something musically.
11:56Pride, last year, I got the notion to do a queer open mic night.
12:00And that went absolutely amazing.
12:03And we've done it pretty much every two weeks since then.
12:06Like, I love it, but I can't do it in front of anyone else.
12:08Yet.
12:09Ah!
12:10Okay, so it's more just...
12:11And I say yet as, like, the keyword.
12:12Like, yet.
12:13I'm hoping that it will.
12:14So it's more just singing in the shower and stuff.
12:15Yes.
12:16Yeah, see, do you know what?
12:18I'm tempted because I'm a bit of a freak.
12:20And I like oysters.
12:21Ah!
12:22Oh, seafood is the bane of my existence.
12:25The bane?
12:26Why?
12:27I used to be the pickiest eater in the world.
12:29Really, yeah?
12:30Like, it's, like, beans, chips, fish fingers, chicken nuggets.
12:32No veg, no, no.
12:33Really?
12:34Oh, the biggest ick in the world is a picky eater.
12:38Like, the person who is asking for, like, chips and chicken coupons.
12:43And I'm like, pfft.
12:44Now I'm, like, living my best vegetarian life.
12:48I love vegan food, vegetarian food, all that stuff.
12:51Fish, I've never tried.
12:53I've never had sushi.
12:54Right.
12:55I've never done the oyster thing.
12:57Yeah.
12:58I'm not going to, I'm telling you that much.
12:59Okay.
13:00I might just stick to the main then.
13:01We're like, so oysters, salmon.
13:03Oysters, oysters, more oysters, please.
13:06You never know what I'm going to come out with in terms of,
13:11oh, by the way, I've just started brewing beer.
13:14I do have a food blog, so, yeah.
13:17You have to tell me more about that now.
13:19No wonder you like, like, oysters and stuff.
13:21Yeah.
13:22Started off over Covid.
13:23I was just really bored and had nothing to do.
13:25And I was cooking literally every day, because I love cooking.
13:27It's, like, one of my favourite things to do.
13:28Cook, yeah.
13:29Phenomenal.
13:30My favourite partner, they're going to be eating a lot of food,
13:34because that's my way of showing my love.
13:36They'll be getting starters, main courses, desserts.
13:39Is it good?
13:41It's, like, basil or something.
13:43Basil oil.
13:44I think it could be basil oil.
13:45Aglio Basilico.
13:47Should you come here often?
13:49Where is St. Jude?
13:51Because he's the patron saint of lost causes and hopeless cases.
13:55That's me, for now.
13:58If performing in an Abba tribute act has taught Callum anything,
14:02it's this.
14:03For every Fernando, there's a chiquitita.
14:09Fall in love with somebody, yes, but falling in love with somebody
14:11means that they're falling in love with you.
14:13Your negatives, your positives.
14:15That, to me, is love.
14:19People would say, why are you still single?
14:21Stop holding back.
14:23So now I'm not going to hold back anymore.
14:25Mamma mia, here I go.
14:27How are you?
14:28How are you, mister?
14:29I'm good.
14:30How are you?
14:31Your name?
14:32Colum.
14:33You're ready to go.
14:34Ready to go, ready to go.
14:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:36I'm saying enough's enough.
14:37Let somebody see my vulnerability,
14:38let somebody see my emotional side,
14:40let somebody see the fun side of me,
14:42and be part of whatever Colum's life is going to be.
14:46What are you in the mood for?
14:47Oh, I don't know what.
14:48I think I might have an old-fashioned.
14:49An old-fashioned good man.
14:50Yeah.
14:51How are you making them?
14:52Oh, the best you'll ever have.
14:53Oh, deadly.
14:54You know?
14:55Yeah.
14:56That's what I tell everybody anyway.
14:57Where are you from?
14:58Erm, Carvercross.
14:59Where's that now?
15:00In Monaghan.
15:01No real successful male relationship.
15:05Is there much action up in Monaghan?
15:07No.
15:08No?
15:09No.
15:10That's why I'm down here.
15:11Yes, that's why.
15:12Yes.
15:13It's small towns.
15:14They don't like different.
15:15No.
15:16You know, I come from the same thing,
15:17so it's exactly the same.
15:18Yeah, yeah.
15:19You still have your frown upon people, but...
15:22Well, that's going to take another 50 years,
15:23I think, to eradicate that.
15:24I don't think you'll ever do that.
15:25Do you know what I mean?
15:26No, you will.
15:27I think eventually.
15:28You can see a lot more now,
15:29but that generation is always still there.
15:30I feel lonely because of not having somebody
15:33sit beside you in silence,
15:35knowing that somebody has your back.
15:36Are you planning on staying down?
15:37Oh, I'm up for the night.
15:39Well, hopefully you won't be going alone.
15:40Well, I left the name blank, like, you know.
15:42Yeah, it's true to stay in town,
15:43so I'm not sure.
15:44Question mark.
15:45Well, that has to happen, you know.
15:51I lost my job bartending during the pandemic,
15:54and I was, like, full-time remote doing social media
15:57and kind of stuff like that,
15:58and I was like, I could do this from home.
16:00From being inside and being remote,
16:02my mental health kind of didn't go in grain of a space.
16:05So I was like...
16:06Oh, do you have spicy brain, too?
16:07Yeah.
16:12People are like, oh, wow,
16:13you're really good at reading other people.
16:14I'm like, thanks, it's the anxiety.
16:16And then I started up my events, like my open mic,
16:20and that's kind of what, like, got me out of it,
16:22was, like, mingling with other people
16:24and having an outlet like that.
16:27Perfectly capable of flying solo,
16:34Daniel doesn't need a wingman,
16:36or, for that matter, a wingman.
16:39She could ring him and be like,
16:40oh, I had so-and-so in today
16:42and they have a friend that's single,
16:44so I've showed them your Instagram and all this,
16:46and I'd be like, ma'am, seriously, stop.
16:48Nice to meet you, Daniel. How is everything?
16:50Grand, not a bother, how's all?
16:51Not a bother with me, neither.
16:53More bother with you, I would say.
16:54Exactly, exactly.
16:56The date is at the bar, so let's not keep here waiting.
16:59Thank you very much.
17:00Follow me, follow me. You're eager to run, huh?
17:02You can look good and look great,
17:04but if there's no connection or there's no chemistry there,
17:07it's just not going to work.
17:09Hi, how are you?
17:10How are you?
17:11Good, thanks, how are you?
17:12Good.
17:13Daniel, how's everything?
17:14Good, good.
17:15You here long?
17:16No, just about ten minutes.
17:17It's a bit of a laugh, isn't it?
17:18Yeah, yeah.
17:19Exactly, see how we go?
17:20Yes.
17:21Exactly, what are you drinking?
17:22An old-fashioned.
17:23Lovely, lovely.
17:24Can I get a drink now?
17:25Yeah.
17:26I'm relaxed around people,
17:27and people can find that there's a relaxing vibe off me,
17:29so if he's feeling a little bit tense and nervous,
17:32I think I can calm that a wee bit.
17:35I'm busy for the week at work and the horse show and all that,
17:37so it's grand.
17:38Oh, right, okay, yeah.
17:39So what do you do at the horse show?
17:41I show horses and a couple of glasses and all,
17:43so it's grand.
17:44And then I work with the horses then,
17:46all week at home.
17:47Very good.
17:48The one I would ride big time in the ODS though,
17:50he's known all over the country.
17:51And is he very handsome?
17:52He is, he is, he's lovely.
17:54There's a girl in here, she just bought a horse,
17:56actually, earlier today.
17:57She's in the room somewhere.
17:58Oh, really?
17:59Yeah, yeah.
18:00She bought a horse drunk.
18:01That can happen, that can happen.
18:03She didn't just buy a leg of it, no.
18:04No, no.
18:05Oh, no, no.
18:06Ha, ha, ha, ha.
18:13Completely separate.
18:14Do you mind me asking how many piercings you have?
18:1718.
18:1818.
18:19I counted yesterday.
18:20One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
18:23I'll learn to count.
18:24Twelve, thirty, four, five.
18:25I can only count sixteen.
18:27Ah, two more.
18:29Say no more.
18:32Livelabama loves me mother to bits.
18:34Yeah, mom's like my best friend.
18:35You know, it's literally just us.
18:37Do you know what type of thing, like, to have siblings and all that?
18:40How many do you...?
18:41I have a brother and sister.
18:42And then me and mom actually rented for a couple of years together,
18:44and then she moved back to Dublin.
18:46She'd love you to find someone.
18:47Do you know how one of the time is, right?
18:49I re-qualified as a personal trainer during lockdowns,
18:52and I work in a small community gym.
18:55You leave your sensitivity at the door and you can collect it on the way out
18:57because there's jokes in you and you're flying.
18:59Yeah, yeah, you're flying everywhere.
19:00People look like you're mad, they're on horses,
19:02and it's like, I don't know, it's...
19:04If you have the love of it, it's not a job.
19:06Yeah.
19:07And that's in your family the whole...?
19:08No, nothing to do with family at all.
19:10Okay.
19:11We moved to Wexford when I was probably nine or ten.
19:13Okay.
19:14And then started with the horses.
19:16I went to college then to be a secondary school teacher.
19:18And then went straight back to the horse.
19:21A groomer for, like,
19:22the international Irish teams and English teams,
19:24so it's an experience.
19:26Yeah, I love watching the horse show, like, the Aga Caan.
19:29The Aga Caan and the Poisson and all that, like, it's brilliant.
19:31The atmosphere alone is just...
19:33I don't get the dressage.
19:34Yeah.
19:35I don't get that, but...
19:36Now?
19:37Superfruit Thomas?
19:38Typical PT guy to sit through.
19:39Yeah.
19:40Yeah.
19:41Thank you so much.
19:43They're very matching.
19:44Yes, they're very, yeah.
19:51I got a dog during the pandemic, who now...
19:53Like, she...
19:54I moved her home with me.
19:55What kind of dog?
19:56She's a pit bull.
19:59She's my little baby.
20:00I have...
20:01Hold on.
20:02I have a picture of her.
20:03A little pity?
20:04But this is her.
20:05This is my baby.
20:06He's my little baby.
20:07So, yeah.
20:08Yeah.
20:09If you see an absolute child appear, then it's like, okay, I think...
20:14I think she's comfortable.
20:15This would probably go really well with your mashed potatoes.
20:17Yeah.
20:18And maybe even some steak fries.
20:19I prefer having that, though, because it might not fit in my mouth.
20:21Okay.
20:22I tend to kind of make the first move a lot of the time.
20:24Our friend kind of says, I guess, because I'm a little intimidating is what this is.
20:28Here you go.
20:29There you go.
20:30Thank you very much.
20:31You want your fourth?
20:34It's the same thing.
20:36Thank you so much.
20:41You're welcome.
20:42Gorgeous.
20:43It's going really well.
20:44I won't disturb you too much, because I know you're doing your nails, but I just want
20:47to get the general...
20:48It takes a lot of focus.
20:49When someone is passionate about something, whether it be cars, cooking, it could be anything.
20:55Okay.
20:56And what's his passion?
20:57He has a food blog.
20:58Oh, cool.
20:59He loves cooking.
21:00Now I'm sweating now, because I dropped his food down.
21:02I'm like, oh, no.
21:03He's going to be like...
21:04I was looking into Gibson lately, and it was awful.
21:06It was okay.
21:07Now he's into cooking, and he's into music, so that's a common interest.
21:11They're like two big ticks already.
21:12You see, big, big ticks.
21:14Sadly.
21:15Would he be a bit of you?
21:17I've never kind of gone for the real cute boy before.
21:21Okay.
21:22Usually I'm into real rugged, kind of dirty men.
21:25But no, he's real cute.
21:27He's real sweet looking.
21:28I like him now.
21:29Sometimes you have to change things up a little bit to find what works.
21:31Yeah, you know.
21:32I'm a strong believer of just give everything a go.
21:35Try everything once, you know.
21:36You never know what could happen.
21:37Exactly.
21:38Try everything once if you like it.
21:39Try it twice.
21:40That's what I say.
21:41Exactly.
21:42Except for the oysters.
21:43Definitely.
21:44Like when I first kind of realized that like, okay, I do like guys, but I also like girls.
21:53I was kind of like, oh, like I think that I'm bi.
21:55And then I started dating people of like other genders and everything else.
21:58And I was like, nothing really fits for me.
22:01But I've been more of a relationship person than not.
22:04Which is why kind of like the past few months has been like, really important to kind of take and put back into me.
22:10I think for me, if there was a non-label label that I guess is in and of itself a label, then it's like I'd go with that one.
22:19Because at the end of the day, I think love transcends every social construct.
22:26We have such a hard time defining it.
22:28Yeah.
22:29But we know what it is and when we see it.
22:31Yeah.
22:32Like if I could go on vibes and energy alone, then that's what I'm about.
22:35And then some people might say like, oh, well, that means you're bisexual.
22:37That means you're pansexual.
22:38That means you're pansexual.
22:39And that means...
22:40Yeah, yeah.
22:41And I'm just like, I don't want to be put in a box.
22:45So it's like the broadest term I could find, I guess maybe for myself was queer.
22:50Yeah.
22:51Just because someone's not wearing a ton of rainbows doesn't mean they're any less out or proud of who they are.
22:56Why can't people just expect the fact that like, wow, someone found someone that sees them at a level that no one else does.
23:05I used to be in an Abel tribute.
23:09Oh, really?
23:10Yeah.
23:11Oh, deadly.
23:12Yeah.
23:13I was in it for...
23:14So you can say...
23:15Five or six.
23:16Oh, well, I'll try.
23:17So we travelled length and breadth of the country, playing weddings, barter parties, outdoor concerts.
23:25One of my best mates.
23:26Yeah, yeah.
23:27He said if you were free any weekend or I needed you, would you step in?
23:30Would you step in?
23:31Yeah, yeah.
23:32So we were away in Cork last weekend.
23:33I still remembered all the dancer teams and...
23:35Yeah, well, I would...
23:36I thankfully wouldn't have to have too many.
23:38Would you like someone like that who likes a bit of performance?
23:41Oh, yeah.
23:42Bit of cracklick.
23:43My body was not used to it.
23:44Come nine o'clock, you want to go to bed?
23:46Well, four in the morning.
23:48Yeah.
23:49And who are you in the Take That tribute?
23:52I would have always liked to think that I could do a mark, but...
23:57Not as a singer, not...
23:59Well, yeah, yeah, look at...
24:02I have a brother and his girlfriend.
24:07She lives there most of the time because they've recently been engaged.
24:11My mum is hugely into just caring for the youth, the struggling youths.
24:17Amazing, yeah.
24:18She actually started a charity that was...
24:22Their main goal was to house kids that were leaving state care.
24:26Because once you turn 18 in the care system...
24:28You're finished.
24:29You're done.
24:30What an admirable thing to do.
24:32Your mum is a legend.
24:33I love my mother.
24:34I wasn't as close with my dad.
24:36And then, of course, it's about to get morbid.
24:39Oh, my God.
24:41My dad passed away when I was 15 years of age.
24:44Right.
24:45Stuff like that that kind of makes you realise...
24:47Yeah.
24:48Oh, my God.
24:49Like, why wasn't I closer with this person type thing?
24:52I know, yeah.
24:53My brother, he's three years ahead.
24:54So, I was in my junior cert.
24:55He was in my leaving cert.
24:56And it just happened out of the blue.
24:58Like...
24:59You're about an exam year.
25:00Jesus.
25:01That must have been so tough.
25:02I got a slap of maturity quite young, where it was just like...
25:06Look.
25:07We all get one life.
25:09We have one opportunity at this.
25:11If this is what happens unexpectedly, you know, it could happen to me tomorrow.
25:16So, take every single opportunity that is cut your way.
25:21And then I just crammed the guitar for the next three school years.
25:26Applied to music college.
25:27Said, fuck it.
25:28Let's go.
25:29So, you feel music kind of helped you through it?
25:32I picked up the guitar to cope with the stress and the grief of losing my father.
25:37And now I'm studying music in college.
25:39And I'm teaching music.
25:41And it's...
25:42It's just...
25:44It's really...
25:47It really has shaped who I am today.
25:50Like, and I owe everything that I'm currently doing with my life to him.
25:58Music in a way, like, connects you to your father still?
26:02Absolutely.
26:03That's special though, right?
26:05There was a moment where we were going through all old stuff of his.
26:09When there was piano grading certificates.
26:11I had no clue he liked music.
26:13Yeah.
26:14And it was then that moment that it was like, oh my God.
26:17Like, while I was playing random notes on the keyboard and he came in and he kind of laughed and smiled at me.
26:23You know, like he...
26:24He knew.
26:25For me, like, my granddad introduced me to music.
26:29He was in a show band at the time.
26:31The Dublin City Show Band.
26:32And he was a jazz pianist.
26:34And he always wanted, like, his grandkids or his kids to, like, follow that legacy on, but...
26:39Yeah.
26:40No one really bit, but he bought me a keyboard when I was, like, seven.
26:43Like, I do think that, you know, when I'm playing or singing, like...
26:47It was a part of...
26:48Yeah, it's a bit of him, you know.
26:49It's like kind of carrying on the legacy.
26:51It's always great to have people in your life who you can, you know, sing with and record music with and write music with.
27:00Have you ever seen the film Whiplash?
27:02Yes.
27:03It's one of my favourite films ever.
27:04It's my favourite film of all time, yeah.
27:05Oh, my God.
27:06Oh, it's incredibly good.
27:08Am I rushing or am I dragging?
27:10Yeah, no, it's insane.
27:12Hello there.
27:13How are you?
27:14I'm good.
27:15I'm in the middle.
27:16I'm in the middle of it.
27:18She's American.
27:19Yeah.
27:20So it kind of suits, you know, with the New Yorker in me and all.
27:22And how's the company?
27:23Really good.
27:24Yeah?
27:25Yeah.
27:26Great.
27:27It's like a nice exhale.
27:28Yeah.
27:29Oh, that's good.
27:30Is it?
27:31Is it?
27:32Is it?
27:33Is it?
27:34Is it?
27:35Is it?
27:36Yeah.
27:37Yeah.
27:38Yeah.
27:39Great.
27:40Yeah.
27:41I mean, at the end of the day, that's all you want.
27:43Where it's just like, oh, my God.
27:44Are you super awkward?
27:45Yeah.
27:46Exactly.
27:47If you can have a good conversation, it's a fantastic start.
27:49And then you can see from there.
27:50Exactly.
27:51Yeah.
27:52Okay.
27:53What horoscope sign is she?
27:54Oh, I don't know.
27:55I'll ask her.
27:56Girl, you need to go and ask her.
27:58Be like, are you a Pisces?
27:59Taurus?
28:00There you go.
28:01Yeah.
28:02Okay.
28:03I'll ask.
28:04Well, anything but a Gemini.
28:05Imagine if it's a Gemini.
28:06Just like, sorry, give me an X.
28:10And do you have an inkling of a feeling yet?
28:12Or do you think?
28:13I mean, yeah, I'd like to.
28:14So, yeah.
28:15Great.
28:16Just depends if I want to.
28:17It's like a little dance in the back.
28:22Dating in your mid-twenties.
28:26Yeah.
28:27Here in Dublin, anyway, is an interesting feat.
28:29Say that again.
28:30Yeah, you're telling me.
28:31A lot of it now is just for the one night, isn't it?
28:34Oh, absolutely.
28:35You're fooled into thinking that it's going to be longer.
28:38You know what I mean?
28:39And I think they believe it themselves, I think, at the time.
28:42Do you know what you do?
28:43And then the next morning you get up and you're like, actually.
28:45Yeah, exactly.
28:46I've got what I want.
28:47You know?
28:48I'm incredibly open to falling in love.
28:50But, yeah.
28:51This time around, I'm definitely trying not to just fall into something.
28:53I'm definitely holding off until I meet the right person.
28:55So, when I was younger, I used to love Doctor Who.
28:57Like, obsessed with Doctor Who.
28:59Matt Smith, when I was about 14, 15, was like, I would have married the man.
29:03If I had, like, a make-a-wish wish, the right thing would have been to me.
29:06Really?
29:07Honestly, God.
29:08Yeah.
29:13Could actor Will be the one to regenerate Leona's teenage crush?
29:18Time will tell.
29:19How long have you been single?
29:21Uh, six years now.
29:24I think it's time now to settle down.
29:27Describe for me your ideal woman.
29:29I have to be quite feminine.
29:30Good energy.
29:31And also, it's a good sense of humour as well.
29:34How are you, sir?
29:35I'm welcome.
29:36Your name, please?
29:37Will.
29:38Will?
29:39Yeah.
29:40Nice to meet you, Will.
29:41Would you consider yourself someone confident?
29:42In this situation, yeah.
29:43Are you ready?
29:44Are you ready to go?
29:45Feeling fresh.
29:46Oh, you look fresh, man.
29:48Yeah, yeah.
29:49Appreciate it.
29:50When you are kind of handsome, people kind of think, oh, he must be gay or something like
29:53that.
29:54Yeah.
29:55I've got that a lot when I was younger.
29:56Make the best of it.
29:58Show me the way.
29:59It's just someone that keeps well-groomed.
30:00Looks after themselves.
30:01So I kind of hope to get that in return as well.
30:04Hello.
30:05Hey, how are you?
30:06How are you?
30:07What's your name?
30:08Will.
30:09Will, Leona.
30:10Leona, nice to meet you.
30:11It's so nice to meet you.
30:12I'm very nervous.
30:14You'll be fine, don't worry.
30:16It's not a job interview, don't worry.
30:17Stop it.
30:18Stop it.
30:19I think he looked quite like Matt Smith.
30:23Very chiseled.
30:24Structurally sound.
30:25Very too good looking for me.
30:28How would you like to do this?
30:29Yeah, I'm paying.
30:30You're going to pay for this?
30:31Perfect.
30:32Very kind of you.
30:33He radiates passion with a bunch of different things and I could pick that up instantly and
30:43it was just, yeah, it was very attractive.
30:45It was great.
30:46Kind soul.
30:47Jesus.
30:48Old fashioned.
30:49It's my second favourite cocktail.
30:51Whiskey sour or?
30:52No, old fashioned.
30:53What's number one?
30:54Negroni.
30:55Negroni.
30:56Nice.
30:57Spagliato.
30:58With Prosecco in it.
31:01Apparently it's the drink of psychopaths.
31:03Oh really?
31:04So if you both like it then you have something in common.
31:06We had a lot in common with music and our passion for it and yeah, she seems to be very
31:12much a free spirit up for trying new things.
31:15Now guys.
31:16Thank you so very, very much.
31:22See you now.
31:23Bye the best.
31:28Do you want to see each other again romantically?
31:31I do think there perhaps just wasn't really a spark perhaps.
31:36That's fair, yeah.
31:37But I do think we really got on really well though.
31:39Yeah, 100%.
31:40And we have a lot in common.
31:41Yeah.
31:42I do wish you all the best and hope you meet someone who.
31:46That's fair enough, yeah.
31:47Yeah.
31:48I take that.
31:52I would have said yeah, I would have liked to have seen you romantically again, but I'm
31:55coming from the place where this date seemed real surface level.
31:59And my place was like I would have liked to have gotten to known you a little bit more.
32:04The deeper.
32:05Yeah.
32:08You can't really make a formula for love.
32:11Sometimes it just happens, sometimes it doesn't.
32:14I think in this instance it didn't really amount to the equation perhaps.
32:20I think it's all that comes.
32:21But I hadn't really liked it.
32:22And I wouldn't have worried about the Super Mario.
32:24I think it's awesome, I'd love to be very good.
32:25I don't know.
32:26Yeah, I think.
32:27Yeah, I think, it's awesome, is that I think it all helps.
32:28Not that it is.
32:30I think it's a bit rough and it's fun.
32:31You can take it tight.
32:32I think it's a company that has never been to.
32:33Yeah.
32:34You can take it, you can take it, and you can take a lot of it.
32:35You can take it, OK.
32:36But you'll have it.
32:37It's free for the first time.
32:38You can take it, you can take it, and you can take it, and it's a
32:39small business to help someone with you get it.
32:40It will happen. My mother's from America
32:42Where about in New York?
32:44Where are you reaching from?
32:46You tell it's not Dublin
32:48Me it's like me the cabin like I'm on the border or cabin, but I would never say that I'm from that. Oh, what's wrong coming?
32:57No, what you know what I like to my loved open. It's just my friends are all up here. Yeah
33:01Let's just say you met a dull money couldn't let Gary you wouldn't know couldn't leave I was like I'm stuck here now
33:06So what do you do now? I'm in a salon at the minute
33:09So it's a fancy fancy salon in the middle town. Did you ever go to the hair shows the hair shows? Yeah
33:15L'Oreal ones. Yeah, so you're over there in
33:18Day of Colour Trophy back in November. Did you yeah? Yeah, I did one of them. Did you? Yeah
33:24What were you doing? They had like a blonde in her hair like blonde streaks and stuff
33:28I was like, I was like I'm back being 16 again for blonde floss tips like I was Jesus
33:32Did you not keep it? Oh God no, blonde's not for me. I was gonna say it might suit you. No, really?
33:37I like blondes, but I don't like my hair blonde
33:44How's everything class? Yeah, all going good. Yeah, yeah, and how are you getting on? I'm getting on really well good. Yeah, that's important
33:53Do you have any expectations coming in I wouldn't have a type because I wouldn't have been
33:58dating much because I'm busy and just certain things, but yeah
34:04So you just go with it and let the first-age restaurant figure out who absolutely and do you feel like there might be a spark?
34:10Yeah, there's a good connection. Yeah, we're talking a lot. So you could do it asking a few like
34:16Questions about my family, but anyway look at this. I might come yet. Yeah. Other than that. Okay. All good
34:22I
34:26Have a cat no way. Mm-hmm. My child Merlin is his name
34:34I'm gonna be a shameless cat mom here for a second there. I am a full-time cat mom single mom poor thing doesn't even pay rent
34:40It's very important. I
34:42Give him benefit that I just have told me so
34:44That's him
34:47He's so cute, but he's huge
34:50What are you feeding him protein powder and like raw chicken? That's my son
34:55He is first priority and he also be first priority so I rescued him during lockdown like during 2020
35:00I was gonna need something to get me up in the morning to keep me in routine
35:03I think like many people they kind of got animals to get them over that kind of hump and I know myself
35:08I
35:09Specifically got him to give me a reason to get up every morning and he definitely helped. Yeah, he's a great little guy
35:13I love him. That's something I love about them
35:15They're so curious about things and they learn
35:18Boy on their own like he kind of sits beside you wouldn't sit on here wouldn't sit near you
35:23He just he's like this woman feeds me and that's all she does. I might like her sometimes and that's all
35:31So what are your stars on
35:33Okay, so in Gemini Sun Taurus rising Sagittarius moon
35:46The way you're looking at me you've probably heard some things about Gemini's so don't even don't even
35:52This is discrimination
35:54It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. What's yours?
35:56I'll give you a moment. I'll give you a chance
35:58Okay. No, okay. I'm a Libra
36:00I haven't met a lot of Libras
36:02It's usually Sagittarius
36:04Aquarius
36:05You're just going through all your exes and sort of figures
36:08I don't have any exes. No. No
36:10So what's the longest relationship you've been in?
36:12Maybe over a little over a month
36:14type thing and then it's just
36:16Any reason?
36:18Just hasn't happened. Yeah
36:20So I've been single 29 years
36:24Yeah, if I'm lucky maybe a full 30
36:28I always felt that there was like this countdown clock of when you had to be like certain stages of physical intimacy and stuff
36:35And I was so anxious about that and I was never around
36:41Someone where I could
36:44I guess safely explore that express that articulate that out loud
36:49Without it turning from
36:52Okay, you're kind of an experience like that's cute to
36:55You're kind of a tease now
36:57And it's just like if you're making me feel bad for who I am
37:01Then
37:02Bye
37:03It's like trust and intimacy take time
37:05And I think that's a very healthy outlook in terms of
37:10Adding people to your life
37:12This smells lovely
37:13It's lovely isn't it?
37:14Great job. Great job. Thank you
37:16Thank you so much
37:17You know what?
37:18You're multi-talented
37:19I don't just run in, quickly throw on another apron
37:22I don't break a sweat
37:23No, it doesn't need to touch up
37:24I don't break a sweat
37:25Super
37:26You've got that hairspray thing, have you?
37:27All over
37:28All over
37:29Brilliant, brilliant
37:31Thank you so much
37:32Enjoy and let me not be these anything
37:33Cheers, thank you
37:34Thank you
37:35So
37:36What are you looking for?
37:38I have no idea
37:39No idea, yeah
37:40No, because I wouldn't be dating that much
37:42You know, I think I'm in the same boat as well
37:44It's kind of always career goal driven
37:46Like I was a special needs assistant for 14 years
37:49No way, really?
37:50What would your friends say about why you're single?
37:52They'd probably say he doesn't trust himself
37:54Trust himself to be open enough to have a relationship
37:56I would have been a very quiet kind of
38:01You'd be trying to keep everyone happy and please everyone
38:04And you'd end up backwards for this one and that one
38:07And the time you're in need
38:09Do you notice everything?
38:10You're looking and it's like
38:11Where is so and so?
38:13The biggest regret I would have is probably
38:15I should have came out of it 10 years beforehand
38:17Now everyone probably knew
38:19There was a couple of things going on
38:23Family wise
38:24Like the best upbringing we never wanted for anything
38:27I kind of didn't want to put the burden on everyone then
38:29So I actually when I went away working
38:31I got to the stage like you know life's too short
38:34I'm 25 now
38:35I've lost 10 years of being who I am
38:38Have you just got brothers?
38:39I've erm...
38:40Oh you've a sister myself
38:41I have a sister and a twin brother and two older
38:43Oh you're a twin are you?
38:44Yeah, yeah
38:45Ah, no way
38:46I'd be extremely close to my sister
38:48Yeah
38:49Yeah
38:50She means the world
38:51The world
38:52Yeah, yeah
38:53Same with me and my sister but
38:55My sister and my mam are literally like
38:57It's important for me that they get to know
38:59How I got to where I am today
39:01And would you have had many relationships then or?
39:03No
39:04No?
39:05I did
39:06My longest relationship was with a girl like
39:08Because I was playing the whole hetero cards
39:10I should have won Oscars for all them years I did that
39:13Nothing to do with the girls were lovely and stuff like that
39:16Exactly, exactly
39:18It's finding yourself in life isn't it?
39:20I loved playing football and in order to play it
39:26Yeah
39:27Yeah
39:28Growing up in the 90s I knew some lads my age that struggled, that were bullied
39:34And
39:36Seeing them cry at school
39:38Wanting to go home from school because
39:40There was stuff written on the desks
39:42Because everybody knew what their lifestyle was outside of school
39:46It was horrible
39:47You go into this classroom and you see
39:49Faggot or queer and stuff like that
39:51And I was going
39:52I wouldn't be able to cope with that
39:54When I became 17 and 18
39:56That's when I started becoming better at soccer
39:58I definitely wouldn't have been able to change in the dressing room
40:01Because you'd have stuff said about you behind your back
40:04God only knows if I wasn't able to play football
40:08You'd never know what would be the next thing
40:11Because I won lots with it
40:13And in the club I coached
40:14I was secretary
40:15Oh brilliant
40:16Full on into it
40:17Full on into it
40:18I went out with a girl for her
40:19She was my friend
40:20And
40:21Now it was the hardest thing
40:25It was the wrong thing to do
40:27I led her up the garden path
40:29As they say
40:30But
40:31Selfishly I did it for myself
40:33But I did it for the
40:34Right reasons for me
40:38He's really cute
40:40Yeah, he's very cute
40:43Gee, do you know what?
40:44He fucking kind of looks like Matt Smith
40:46Yeah, he's gourd
40:48So if you saw her on Tinder
40:49You'd go, yeah, I'd swipe on this
40:50Swipe? What ways is it?
40:51Yeah, I met my wife on Tinder
40:53Oh, okay
40:54You should know then
40:55It's right swipe, I'm pretty sure
40:56White sweater
40:57I need to ask him again what he did
40:58Because he told me when he like
40:59Landed at the bar
41:00But I honestly think I spaced out
41:02I was just like staring at him
41:04And I can't remember what he said
41:06So
41:07You did tell me what you did
41:08When we were at the bar
41:09But I think I spaced out a little bit
41:10Because I was very nervous
41:11Oh yeah?
41:12So give me another go
41:13What did you like?
41:14What did you do?
41:15What did you do?
41:16I did acting
41:17Acting?
41:18Yeah
41:19Okay, I'm intrigued
41:20I did drama when I was younger
41:21As a kid
41:22It's like that thing you kind of forget about
41:23And life gets in the way
41:24So then I kind of went back to it
41:26About four or five years ago
41:27And I said, you know what?
41:28I want to do it
41:29But yeah, it's good fun
41:30You meet a lot of new people
41:31You were asking me earlier about rejection
41:33You become numb to it as an actor
41:34Because you're used to getting rejected quite often
41:36So
41:37If you correlate that to relationships
41:39It really doesn't
41:40You're like, okay, on to the next
41:42So do you have somebody who like represents you?
41:44Yeah
41:45It's kind of like
41:46It's one of the hardest things to get as an agent
41:47And you've got that sword
41:48You're up and coming
41:49Yeah
41:50You're good
41:51So I'm on the right path
41:52Yeah
41:53Partners or romantic people
42:00They should be an addition to your life
42:01Not an instead of
42:02If someone's coming in going
42:04I'm uncomfortable with your relationships
42:06Yeah
42:07Thank you very much
42:08Thank you
42:09I guess judging a book by its cover
42:11I liked the book that I was about to start reading type thing
42:15Did you really just take the bill?
42:17Yes I did
42:18Rascal
42:22I wouldn't really go for as feminine as she is
42:27So yeah, it was a pleasant surprise
42:31It was nice to be with someone that I wouldn't usually go with
42:33Well thank you
42:34Maybe at some point I will return the favour
42:36Yes
42:37Make a decent cup of coffee or something
42:39Yeah
42:40How do you like your coffee in the morning?
42:46That's my style
42:47You're just in the middle of the DMC
42:48I'm just watching and I'm like
42:51Oh they're leaning in
42:52They look like they're in really good conversation
42:54Okay, I'm on my way over
42:56Would you like to see each other again?
43:00Romantically speaking
43:02Yeah
43:03Yeah
43:04Yeah
43:05Yeah
43:06Yeah
43:07I would
43:08I would like to be
43:09I would like to know more about you
43:11Same
43:12Yeah
43:13Yeah
43:14I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening
43:15Thanks again
43:16Thank you
43:17Goodbye
43:18I feel like I didn't talk to you about anything
43:20Yes
43:21Cause that's how it started
43:22We're just like
43:23Oh so like
43:24What's the story with the mental health stuff?
43:25Yeah
43:26It's like you got spicy brain too
43:27Let me know
43:28What kind of spice?
43:29I think we should shop for onesies for your pitbull
43:34I would agree
43:35I think that would be a great next date
43:37Yep
43:38When is the first question?
43:39I think we're moving too fast
43:41Yeah
43:42I'm already meeting the dog
43:50Have you found navigating single life?
43:53It's been kind to me
43:54Has it?
43:55Yeah
43:56You're lucky
43:57You seem quite easygoing and friendly
43:58So I can't imagine why
43:59I think that's probably a big problem
44:00I get on too well with people
44:01Oh really?
44:02I definitely think that
44:03Because I'm more open to being emotional
44:05I definitely fall in love easily
44:07And I definitely get into relationships easy as well
44:09What's the craziest date you've ever been on?
44:12This man said he'd bring me to a cocktail bar
44:15I was absolutely delighted
44:16Me being 19
44:17Never been brought to a cocktail bar in my life
44:19I was like this is going to be great
44:20He then got up, went into the bar
44:22Me assuming that he'd get me a drink
44:24He came back
44:25The bar's in there
44:26I was like okay
44:27So I went in, got myself a drink
44:29Came back
44:30Did it a second time
44:31And then I was like you know what
44:32I was like this is just not going anywhere
44:33And he was like
44:34Will we go back to my house?
44:35I was like okay
44:36I should have just got up and left
44:38But I was like at this point
44:39I'm getting something out of this
44:40We went back to his house
44:41We had done whatever we had done
44:44And then he was like oh
44:46Will I call you a taxi?
44:47I was like I'll get myself my own taxi
44:49Thank you very much
44:50So I got up and I got in the taxi
44:51Went home
44:52I proceeded to send my friend videos
44:54Absolutely tearing this man to shreds
44:56And I sent them to him
44:58By accident
44:59Now I put my phone in airplane mode immediately
45:02I don't know if they sent
45:03He's blocked on every social media that I have
45:05To this day
45:06So I don't know if he ever got them
45:09So do you have any other dates lined up?
45:11No not at the minute
45:12Yeah?
45:13Apart from maybe the second one with you
45:15But nothing else
45:16Okay
45:17I think you're just going to have to let yourself be treated
45:22It's happening
45:24Yeah
45:25You're very good
45:26Thank you so much
45:27It's the client now
45:28I'm only joking
45:29It was really really interesting
45:31Like his background
45:32And like me
45:33Life's too short
45:34That
45:35It just got full steam ahead
45:36You're multi-talented
45:38I've been waiting all my life for someone to tell me that
45:41Multi-talented
45:42You can wait at tables
45:43You have a smile
45:44And you can cook
45:45The type was
45:46Kind of somebody who
45:47Looks well
45:48And looks after themselves
45:49And is
45:50Kind of open to chatty
45:51And stuff like that
45:52So that was
45:53That was good
45:54Have you got a significant other?
45:56I do
45:57Okay
45:58There you go
45:59He's a lucky man
46:00Unless you tell him that too
46:01No I just
46:02Where is it?
46:03Where is it?
46:04Would you like to see each other again romantically?
46:08You can go first
46:09No
46:13If it was a night out for a bit of fun
46:14And a bit of
46:15A few drinks
46:16And a bit of a laugh
46:17Absolutely
46:18But unfortunately no spark
46:19For me
46:20Daniel what would you have said?
46:22Probably would have said yes
46:23Just to see
46:24But as I said
46:25It's grand
46:26Life's too short
46:27Take care
46:28You too
46:29Don't work too hard now for the rest of the night
46:30We laughed and stuff like that
46:32So it was
46:33Easy
46:34That way
46:35So it would make
46:36A night out even easier
46:37Like you know
46:42I had a great experience
46:44Now I probably will
46:45Date that bit more
46:46Because it's put me at ease
46:55Have you been over to America?
46:56Yeah I used to go back and forth
46:57Really?
46:58Yeah
46:59Have you been over?
47:00No I haven't been over
47:01What?
47:02Yeah I'm not very well travelled
47:04Sure we'll go over
47:05I got you know
47:06Yeah
47:07Done deal
47:08There you go
47:10I'm intent on splitting this by the way
47:12You want to split it?
47:13Absolutely I do
47:14I was going to do the bathroom trick
47:15Where you go up to the
47:16Wait just go believe it
47:17Yeah
47:18No no dude pay the bill where you're going
47:19No no don't
47:20No no please don't
47:21I appreciate the offer though
47:22Yeah
47:23Very gentleman like
47:24Always offer
47:26You know
47:27I don't think you should be going on dates
47:28If you can't afford it
47:29You buy the flights to New York
