My first and only relationship last nine long days.
But they're very happy days though.
I'm not sure if you can really call that a real relationship
because, you know, you're 11.
I was a joker in school.
That was kind of my role.
Maybe if the girl found me funny, you know, she would be willing to go on a date.
But no.
Budding actor Danny has been waiting a long time for his leaving lady.
That always happens. Push or pull.
How do you feel, man?
I'm good.
Your name is?
Daniel.
I say when people look at me, they don't think I'm an actor
because most actors are good looking.
And I don't think I'm good looking at all.
Far from it.
I just, I don't know.
I just, yeah, I just feel ugly.
I think it's just the acne.
And I'm not tall and I'm not muscly.
And, you know, all the things that on TV is a plus, I'm not, you know.
Does it feel OK if I stick with water?
Yeah, of course.
You know, I don't want to get bladdered, you know.
It's all right.
Me asking the girl out, that was impossible for me
because I felt like if you can't love yourself,
how can you, you know, love someone else, you know?
When it comes to love, film student Cailin knows the difference
between real life and the silver screen.
Romance, I don't think it is the way it's portrayed in, like, films and stuff.
I waited for that Cinderella moment and it's just never going to happen
because I don't think that's real.
I think finding somebody who's funny, who's a good listener,
who can also talk, I think that should be easy enough to find.
Cailin.
Long time no see.
Thank you.
First time I hear this thing.
Thanks, it's Irish.
Long, long time, long time.
You have a little bit of make-up here, is that it?
Yeah, well, let's see.
And you're ready.
Let's go, let's go.
All right.
I'm always, like, a real self-conscious person.
Like, I think I've got really, really low self-esteem sometimes,
but, like, not all the time.
So sometimes I will look in the mirror and be like,
ooh, but other times I'll be like, oh, my God, what is that?
Hi.
Hi, Cailin.
I'm Danny.
How are you?
Grant, how are you?
You nervous?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Somebody that's got something quirky about them under the surface,
I think, is, like, a really nice thing.
Something that you don't expect.
What are you studying?
Performing arts.
Trying to be an actor, so...
Yeah, I'm studying film.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
So do you want to be a director?
I think so.
Yeah.
I don't really know.
If we can find a common interest,
then the conversation will be to-ing and fro-ing.
I hope that's the proper way of saying it.
Thank you.
This is yours, Bob.
OK.
No, please.
After you.
I will be excited, and it will be, for me, a huge step forward.
I think it will be good, you know?
And I just want to have a good time, you know?
How long have you been single for?
Erm, good question.
Quite a long time, actually.
Erm...
..ten years.
Ten years.
I'm 21.
So, you know...
Since you were 11?
Yeah.
Sorry.
No, you're fine.
Since you were 11.
I don't think you can even count.
They don't count.
No, they don't.
Primary school boyfriends and girlfriends don't count.
Then zero, then.
It's not bad.
I'd say, like, I haven't really had, like, any, like,
proper relationships, I don't think.
I don't think I am undateable,
but it's just I never had the chance to date.
I know, I just wasn't really lucky, you know?
Not like I haven't tried, you know?
It's just...
I just seen your eyes go, like, oh, God.
Honestly, like, don't take it to heart,
cos, like, I do that without realising.
