Welcoming hopeful singletons from all over the country.
Good evening.
The First Dates restaurant.
Hi. Hi.
Nice to meet you. You all right? I'm Max.
I do pole.
Gymnastic pole dancing.
So we've got a fine day. Hopefully.
In charge of proceedings, maitre d' Fred.
In a restaurant, it's a bit like an orchestra.
You have the conductor who makes sure that everybody plays in tune and together
and plays at the right time.
You have the waiters who are looking after the customers,
the bartender who are there to make cocktails,
and all this has to work in perfect harmony.
I mean, this restaurant is special.
Because we are not just a restaurant.
We're a dating agency.
Wow, she's not cold, this girl.
No jacket, no coat.
Just a dress.
This is Frankie.
She's a hospital caterer with a passion for poetry.
You're the first to arrive, Frankie.
Can I take you to the bar for a drink?
Yeah.
Then we'll fix you a nice drink.
Love is a breath of fresh air.
It sweeps you to a world full of flowers,
booming to the beat of your heart.
That's love, summed up.
I wrote that myself.
I'm really excited.
I thought you'd be here by now.
Hope he's not done a runner.
You look like someone, I don't know who.
Do you know Mr Bean?
You have got the same colour eyes and the hair and that.
But not in a bad way, by the way.
It is actually quite hard to be optimistic these days.
Especially because there's so many love rats
about everywhere you go.
I've been cheated on so many times, it's bloody awful.
You should never leave a lady waiting.
That's true.
Yeah.
I do get lonely.
I actually do get really lonely, especially at night.
I have to text people all the time or call people
because otherwise I'm sitting and I think,
what can I do? I just start cleaning.
There's only so much cleaning you can do.
I scrubbed my kitchen the other day for like five hours,
missed out on all the soaps because I was that bored.
Frankie's blind date is a recently qualified primary school teacher
with a winning smile.
Charlie.
Charlie, yes.
Can I just please take your jacket?
Yeah, thank you.
I used to be really intimidated by girls when I was at school.
Really intimidated.
Wasn't confident in myself, really insecure.
I'd say I've been quite brave recently
and that's why I think some people see me as being a bit cocky,
but actually I'm not.
I think over time if you keep speaking to girls,
one of them's going to like you at some point.
It's a numbers game.
One out of a hundred's got to like you at some point, surely.
Hello.
You all right? Charlie.
Frankie, nice to meet you.
Frankie, nice to meet you, all right?
Yeah, you all right?
Shall we go and have a drink then?
Yeah.
You left me waiting.
Did I? Sorry about that. I was delayed.
Have you got any WKD?
Don't have any WKD, I'm afraid.
I'll just have vodka, lemonade and lime then, please.
Where are you from?
Um, Essex, Chelmsford.
You've got to answer me.
Where are you from?
Lee.
You're from where?
Lee. Lee and C.
Are you?
Yeah.
Oh, that's quite near then.
Proper close.
Have you faked tanned?
Or are you just naturally brown?
I'm quarter Italian, aren't I?
Oh, are you?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Well, not really.
Oh.
Just had a bit of a sunburn.
Don't hate me, but from all the excitement when I came in,
it's Frankie.
Yeah.
Just wanted to make sure.
Yeah, what's your name again?
Harold.
Can I call you Eric?
Call me whatever you like, sweetheart.
I'm actually being real. What's your name again?
I forgot as well.
Derek.
No, what is your name?
It's Derek.
No, it's not Derek.
When you're with someone,
you just want to kind of do something exciting, a bit crazy.
You just want to mix it up a little bit.
And that's important in a relationship.
It's important to go and have sex somewhere crazy, I think,
round the back of home base.
We've got the nice, friendly questions conversation out the way.
Where's the craziest place you've had sex?
Oh, bloody hell, this is a bit too much.
It's getting a bit serious now.
Yeah.
I'm only joking, by the way.
You better be.
I'm a good boy, really.
Are you?
Mm.
Retired teacher Olive hasn't been on a date
since losing her husband ten years ago.
It would be lovely to be in love.
Now, I don't know if it happens when you're as old as I am.
So what kind of man are you looking for?
Intelligent, nice-looking, thin.
I don't want a fat man.
Her date is a former air traffic controller from Buckinghamshire.
Good evening.
You must be Terence.
I am Terence, yes. Welcome.
You read about all these lonely widows and you think,
well, crikey, you know, I'm a lonely widower.
I could help at least one of them.
Do you want to keep your hat? No, no, no.
Take it away. Thank you.
It's nice to go on holiday with somebody,
to go to theatre, cinema.
I mean, sex might be nice as well, but...
Hello. Hello.
How are you? Have you been waiting long?
Not too long. Your hands are cold.
Well, it is a bit cold outside, isn't it?
Well, I suppose it is, yes.
But I must apologise for the fact
that I'm not very glamorously dressed.
Oh, don't worry. I need to be warm.
Well, I'm casual as well, so I hope that's all right.
Yes, it's absolutely fine. What's your name?
I'm Terence, sorry. Terence. Terence.
And you are? Olive.
Olive. Very nice. Very nice, Olive.
My first...
My first serious boyfriend was Terence.
Really? Terence Smith.
Really? Yes.
Oh, well, I'm an S as well, actually, but...
He was lovely. He was a very, very nice man.
Did you meet your husband at university or later?
I met him afterwards, yes.
Because Geoff went to Cambridge,
where he read modern languages.
Where did you go to? London.
London, yes. Yes, I went to King's, King's College.
What did you study?
I studied theology. Really?
I think I should have probably done literature,
because I was really rather more interested in that than the Bible.
When you're 18, you don't really know
what you want to do with yourself, do you?
No, no.
I certainly think we're giving quite a few years away
to these younger people.
Nothing to be ashamed of. No, no, no, no.
Thank you.
What a genital, man. Thank you.
You beat me to it. Thanks, mate.
You're quite short, aren't you? Yeah, probably.
How short are you? About 5'1".
Shut up.
No, you're not 5'1". 5'1".
No, you're not, cos I've got heels on.
How tall are you? 5'4".
Stand up. Or 5'5".
I've got heels on. I'll pull the chair out for you.
They're like six inches.
How tall are you? I'm about 5'9".
Are you? No, you're not.
You're not 5'9". Let's say he's six foot.
Close. No, about 5'8", 5'9".
5'9' on a good day. You're about 5'6".
Light your earrings.
How are you feeling? Good.
How does my food? Oh, it's all right.
I thought you said, how do I feel? I'm like, good.
I used to work with dolphins. I used to shave them.
Are you lying? No, I used to shave them.
You never heard of that before? Dolphins don't have hair?
Yeah, because you shave them. People at the zoo shave them.
Really? Yeah.
Who do you think I look like, famous?
No-one. Cheers.
Being honest, who do you want to look like?
People I've said, on different occasions, Dave Beckham.
**** off.
No, I'm sorry, but you don't. That's fair enough.
I do like to look after myself.
Make sure I moisturise.
Might put a bit of tinted moisturiser here and there in the winter.
It has to be done. Teeth won't be stripped every once in a while.
I hate players. I hate guys that just want, just basically...
Sex. ..one-night stands, and that's it.
That annoys me.
Like, little things annoy me, like guys that love themselves too much.
If I said... Either way, you've got sanky teeth.
Have I? There.
Where? There?
No, the other one.
There? Yeah.
I have a phobia of teeth.
Like, honestly, I do.
Like, guys with horrible teeth just make me feel sick.
Like, I feel, clean your teeth, mate.
You've got a bit right there as well.
I can't see in this board. Got it.
I need a mirror. A what?
A mirror. A mirror?
What's a mirror? A mirror!
What's a mirror? Who's that?
Who's a mirror?
Is that, like, your friend that comes over and tells you...
No, it's a mirror.
You're a mirror.
There's a snort.
Have you got the snort? Oh, my God.
Do you know what I mean? Give me your finger.
Cos you've done it to me. No, I've got it.
You have got it. Yeah, you've got it.
I can see it.
I like the chase, and I think girls do as well.
It's not playing games, but it's just being a bit mysterious.
It's exciting to not know what's going to happen next,
what they're going to do next.
And, by the way, I've got children.
I don't know whether I'd have kids in my 20s.
I think your 20s are your time to be selfish,
to kind of enjoy being young and free.
I like to get it out there,
because some guys just think cos I've got kids that I'm either easy
or that, like, they just think I'm just, like, a shag.
When that's not the case, you know?
I wouldn't have kids, yeah,
but I work in a school, primary teacher.
I love to teach children.
I couldn't think of a better job. It's so rewarding.
I don't have one night stands or anything like that.
Me neither. I'm more classy than that.
Yeah, we're classier people.
Cos we're from Essex.
I spent a year in South Africa, in Cape Town.
Really? And that's a coincidence?
Yes. Cos I was evacuated to South Africa.
Really? Yeah, I spent the war in South Africa.
Lucky you!
If you're not what I might call a Lothario type,
you've got to wait for indications from the woman,
so you're looking for green flag,
green flag, green light, green light.
So were you in London during the war?
No, in Cheshire.
I enjoyed being single.
I enjoyed the attention of men.
I enjoyed going out with men, flirting with them and all the rest of it.
Sex, I suppose, is part of it, but...
It's been a long time.
Since I leapt into bed with anyone.
OK, I have your crab.
Oh, my goodness.
And for you, sir.
Thank you.
Mm-hm.
Mm, mm.
Mm.
You're making appreciative noises.
Does that mean it's quite good?
Yes, yes.
Quite a challenge, isn't it?
It's hopeless.
We should have opted for something simpler.
I think the crab is winning.
Mm.
Custard red.
Hoping that sparks fly on his blind date is electrician Mitchell.
Looking forward to today's date, then?
Very much so.
It's been a bit of a wet, but it should be good.
I've got to settle down.
Well, sometime, anyway, I think. Mum's hoping.
I think she's lost hope, to be honest.
Just girlfriends keep choosing the wrong ones, kind of thing, so...
Yeah, I've got, like, two brothers and a sister.
They're all married off with kids.
Can't win them all, can you?
Well, let's hope that changes today.
Yeah, cheers to that.
Mitchell's blind date is beauty technician Karen.
She's hoping to whip up her love life.
I'm OK, thank you. I'm Karen.
I don't want a vanilla relationship.
I want, like, mint chocolate chip or Neapolitan,
something a little bit jazzy, something with toffee in.
I don't want anything that's too average.
Please, would you like to follow me? Thank you.
All right? Hi! I'm Mitch. I'm Karen.
Nice to see you. Yeah, you too.
Enjoy your drinks. Thank you.
Oh, my God. What's up? What do you want to drink?
The cocktails are meant to be very nice. Go for it.
But I'll have a Cosmopolitan, please. Why not?
Just the one. So, nervous?
Er, I wasn't. No? And then I was.
And then, yeah, no, I think I'll be all right. Yeah. You?
Erm, a little bit.
I had the fairytale wedding, had the fairytale honeymoon,
had the, you know, the house with the husband
with the good job and everything else.
Here's to a good blind date. Hopefully.
What can possibly go wrong?
It makes you evaluate everything and you doubt everything
about yourself, cos you blame yourself.
It must have been me, that's why he didn't like me.
I don't wish it on anybody, cos it's the hardest thing to go through.
So, what do you do? I work for myself.
I do, like, eyelash extensions. All right.
And make-up and stuff like that.
Beauty stuff. Beauty things, yeah.
You'll be handy tonight. I might need you.
There you go, you see.
Unless you're into some really weird stuff, though.
Yeah, no. Well...
Sorry to trouble you. Are you ready to go through?
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
I love your leggings. Thanks.
And your shoes are not bad, either.
I've got a thing about shoes. Do you want to wear them?
Not unless they're size 11.
I used to play rugby for Essex.
I played for girls.
You legend.
No-one believes me when I tell them that, you know?
Like, everyone's just like, no, and I'm like...
Were you the winger?
Yeah, I was. How did you know that?
Your size.
And I used to score tries all the time.
Are you serious? Yeah, I'm not...
Got a bit of college bravery going on there.
I'm all right.
So you play for Essex?
Yes.
Your laugh is quality.
I swear to God.
When I'm in a relationship and I care about someone,
I'm 100% loyal.
I'll never cheat.
It's just the way I've seen other people treating people
when I was younger and I've always grown up thinking,
no, I want to behave the right way.
Basically, I've got, like, two dads.
My real dad, that I don't really see at all.
And I only found out it was my real dad when I was 13.
Oh, really? Yeah, he's a traveller.
OK.
And I've got my dad that brought me up since I was little
and I always thought he was my dad.
It's only been me, my sister and my mum, like, my whole life.
He didn't really get in touch.
It was mainly my mum, you know?
And she done it on her own?
Yeah, actually. What a legend.
I know.
Bit like me.
Yeah.
Yeah, I commend women that are doing it on their own.
Cos it's hard enough doing it as a family, you know?
Yeah.
So I admire you a lot for that.
Thank you.
What a touching moment this is.
Sweet line.
It was a touching moment,
so you, like, thought about the cheesy line again, you know?
You just cut them out.
I just kill conversations, I'm sorry.
I ruin it, I ruin the mood.
I'm a proper mood killer.
Well, at least you admit it.
I do fancy him a little bit,
but at the bar, the very first thing he said is,
where's the craziest place you've had sex?
And I was thinking, ******* hell, shut up.
But he is actually a nice guy.
Like, when I was sitting there talking to him,
I thought he's actually a really nice guy.
Especially when he said about his mum.
That was really cute, actually.
OK.
It's £114.
Put your wallet away, sweetheart.
No, I need to pay this.
No, no, no.
I do.
If I can embarrass me.
I thought it went well.
OK.
I thought it was ----, but OK, no joking.
See you later.
I'm joking.
Have you ever had braces?
Yeah.
Good job.
And he still went wonky afterwards.
Do you want to see me again or not?
Shit.
I'm scared now.
You could have been taller.
**** off.
So will you guys see each other again?
We'll go for a few drinks, if you want.
So is that a yes?
Yeah.
I'll go for another date, yeah.
Why not have a couple of drinks?
See you later.
Oh, my God, it's so cold right now.
So, where to now?
I actually met my wife
at the local amateur dramatic society.
Oh, really?
And we did Blythe's Spirit.
I did Blythe's Spirit.
Which, of course...
I was Elvira.
Oh, yes, yes.
The elderly couple, I just think they are adorable.
I was just thinking it gives you hope, literally, for the future,
because I keep thinking, like, if it doesn't work out now,
you know, when you're, like, 70, 80...
Oh, how adorable they are.
They are love.
Oh, lovely, thank you very much.
Thank you.
How long is it?
Since you lost Geoff?
Ten years.
But you must have had memories of Geoff.
But memories are no time good, are they, really?
No.
Except, you know, they can be a consolation, don't you think?
No, not really.
No.
I would have liked it to go on.
He got cancer.
And I could see him sort of fading away before my eyes,
and I think they must have told me he was going to die,
so I was prepared for it.
It was awful.
Horrible.
I mean, all we did at the end, when he was ill,
was hold hands and say, I love you,
and that was all there was to be said, really.
It's just loneliness.
You know, which is a bit of a problem, isn't it,
when you've been married and it's all worked?
Yes, yeah.
I'd say it's just having someone to share things with.
Well, I suppose when it ends,
you realise that you haven't always put in
quite what you should have done.
I mean, you can't do anything about it,
but you do feel that you should have been more appreciative
while they were alive,
because when they're gone, you realise what you're missing.
Lovely. Cheers. Thank you.
Some girls, they want this perfect fairy tale, you know,
where they meet the prince in shining armour,
who sweep them on their beautiful white horse,
and they live happily ever after and have a lot of children.
A date can be a life-changing moment, you know.
I mean, it can change your life forever.
Pretty woman coming through
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, no, no, no, no
I'm not going to give up my day job, that's for sure, for singing.
Not for me.
Hello, I'm good, thanks. I'm Izzy.
I definitely believe in love and marriage, and not the scary words.
I'm a completely hopeless romantic.
David Tennant, as Doctor Who, is my ultimate man.
I'm anything he wants me to be. He's incredible.
That sounds really obsessive.
Hoping to sweep Izzy off her feet
is Hong Kong-born market research consultant, Claire.
My sexual preference is lesbian who likes David Tennant.
That is how I would define my sexuality.
What is your name, please? Claire. Claire.
When I was ten, eleven,
the word gay was flying around the playground.
Please follow me.
And I was like, what's gay?
And then my friend was like, it's when a boy likes a boy.
And then I was like, well, what if a girl likes a girl?
They're like, that's gay too.
And I was like, oh.
Hiya, I'm Izzy.
Hi, I'm Claire.
Hello.
Good afternoon.
I was going to be like, should I do tequila?
Maybe it's a bit too much.
That would be incredible.
Should we?
I'm in. Yeah, I'm up for that.
Let's go. Two shots of tequila.
Why not?
So, tell me, what's your story?
I'm a uni student.
OK, cool.
I'm a drama student.
OK, cool. That's cool.
What do you do?
I'm a market research consultant.
Nice. That sounds so much more fancy.
No, it's really not.
I'm on Excel, like, most of my day.
That's amazing.
OK.
This is, like, fanciest tequila I've ever had.
This is good. I'm having fun already.
Right, so it's lick, drink, lime.
Lick, drink, lime.
Cheers.
Well done.
I went down the wrong way.
So, drama?
Yeah, I do drama, but I do pole.
Gymnastic pole dancing.
Reactions to pole are very interesting.
When I first started pole, they were...
They weren't very good.
Like, no-one had really heard of it as pole fitness.
It was just pole dancing and you must be a stripper.
Most people understand it a little bit better
and don't think I'm just a slut, because I'm not.
I'm more of a gymnast than a slut.
I'm, like, quite tipsy.
Yeah, the tequila really set me off.
Are you someone that needs to be with someone all the time?
Yeah. Oh, yeah?
I'm a softie.
You see, now...
I need to be loved.
I'd love to have kids.
Marriage is, you know...
That's my, like, family values kind of thing, innit?
I've got a daughter. She's just turned six.
My daughter's the only, like, grandchild as well,
so she gets totally spoiled.
Are you...
..friendly with the dad?
We've been together a while. We had been, yeah.
What happened? Did you screw a part up?
He went off with someone else. Oh, wow.
It's devastating to have your heart breaking.
But I think you have to go through that to get to the end and go,
actually, I'm all right now.
Men are twats.
Yeah.
I'm slowly starting to realise...
It's taken me 34 years to realise this.
Like, for ****'s sake, really?
That's an end result for me, then.
I've only had, like, three or four dates since last year.
I don't know how much I've been trying.
It's hard to nail one down, especially when I was telling, you know,
something you really shouldn't know about me.
Like what?
Oh, God.
I like to have a bit of fun,
and I used to dress up in my girlfriend's clothes.
Oh, my God!
You get away with a lot more when you're a woman, a crude woman.
Well, a man dressed as a woman, you know.
You get away with stuff with women and men, you know,
that you wouldn't normally do.
How do I explain this?
My mate had a birthday party, and it was, like, Action Man and Barbie,
and I was like, I'm going to go as Barbie.
I think my mum and dad thought I was, like,
properly coming out or something.
I was, like, trying to tell them it was a bit of fun,
but then every weekend there'd be, like, photos plastered across Facebook
of me, like, in a wig or in a miniskirt or...
I've got an alter ego.
What's her name? Michelle.
My mum told me not to tell them that, but...
Tennis was my game.
Mm-hm.
Well, I'm a tennis addict, I'm afraid.
Are you? Yes, absolutely addicted to tennis.
Yeah. I mean, it is a lovely game, I think.
I must admit, I don't know what I should do if I don't play tennis.
There's no reason why you should, is there?
Well, as long as you've got a good partner, especially.
Yes, yes. Yes, I have.
Do you think that Olive fancied you?
I don't think so.
I didn't get that sort of feeling somehow.
She might have been too intellectual for me, I don't know.
Lovely.
But it's very difficult for us at our age.
We're not teenagers any more.
All right, here we are.
Hello again. Hello again.
Are you warm enough? Yeah.
You're not, you're cold, poor man.
I'm all right.
Shall we hold hands? I'm cold.
Well, I'll keep you warm.
Well, we'll hold hands, shall we? Yes, yes.
OK, well, thank you very much for the evening and all that.
I suppose I'm looking for some physical contact.
I'm a great believer in hugs, actually.
I think...
I don't know how Olive feels about hugs.
You're all right.
I mean, it's, I think, very nice.
And this is probably something that we are both missing,
in that I don't have a close relationship with another chap there.
Take care.
Have a good afternoon.
I think it might be nice if we met and had a little chat
and possibly a tea or something like that.
Without any pressure.
No, no pressure.
Unless you want to propose to me, of course.
Oh, not yet. Not immediately.
OK, well, lovely evening, Olive.
If Terence asked me to go out to the theatre,
I think I would probably accept with alacrity and delight.
Good night, Night. Bye-bye.
Mind how you go. Yes.
Are you a gold star lesbian? Yes, I am a gold star.
I am a gold star.
I'm not. Really? Yeah.
So, what was it like? You had boyfriends, like?
I feel like I had to try and be straight.
Oh, OK. Is that what it was? Yeah.
Like, I need to... Don't knock it till you've tried it,
that sort of thing. Oh, OK.
This summer I did get an accidental boyfriend.
And that is the only way I can describe it.
How do you get an accidental boyfriend?
You must have said something to make him go,
oh, yeah, she likes me. Oh, I did.
I really went the full way, but... But why?
It was rebound. 100% rebound.
So you bounced off the backboard onto a dick.
Yeah. Yeah, I rebounded so far...
Onto a penis. I wanted to get so far away from my ex-girlfriend
that I moved gender.
I'm going to show you a picture of me as Michelle.
Oh, my God.
A lot of women, they find it a bit weird when I'm Michelle,
you know, but it's part of who I am.
I just want someone, you know, to be there.
I want to come home to someone. I want to cook for someone.
I'm quite worried.
You've actually gone in front of me. Come on, it's true.
Oh, my God, you look like you're enjoying that far too much.
I was.
Yeah, there's a very feminine side to you, to say the least.
It's good to be in touch with your feminine side, innit?
Someone once asked me if I've ever had sex as Michelle.
I was like, no. Yeah, have you?
No. I'd be weird.
If someone asked you to, would you?
Come on! You've brought your clothes with you, haven't you?
I think she liked me. I'd like to think so.
I'm not overly confident, but, like, 90% sure.
I've not been that bad, have I?
No, you've been nice.
And you're pretty hot as well.
If you don't mind me saying.
I would say there was definitely chemistry between the two of us.
Thank you very much. Thank you. All right?
Very, very nice, yeah.
I think... I think you know who you are.
And it takes probably someone with a bit more of a broader...
..appreciation for that.
You're narrow-minded.
I've probably realised that I am a little bit, yeah.
There should be a dress hung up in the...
Don't get me started!
Do you want to see me again?
I think...
You look like I'm telling you off!
I think you make someone really happy.
But not you. We're just in different places.
Totally.
Thank you. Cheers.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Take care.
25-year-old Anita knows precisely what she wants
from tonight's blind date.
Hi, how are you? I'm very well, thank you.
What's your name, please? Anita.
I would say I'm quite specific in what I'm looking for.
I have a list.
The first thing is they need to be laid back, so really chilled,
but they need to be firm,
because otherwise I will walk all over them.
Shall I take your jacket? Thank you very much. Thank you.
They need to be affectionate, but not overpowering,
because I don't do public displays of affection.
Enjoy your drinks. Merlin will look after you.
Hi, how are you? Thank you, Fred.
Very good, thank you for asking. How are you?
I'm very well. I'll be even better when you get me a rum.
Tell me a little about yourself.
What puts you into a blind date situation?
Oh, right, you lot!
It's your sex that have brought me here, actually.
Say it again?
Your sex. Not your sex, as in...
Males in general.
Ah! So what sort of colour are you looking for, then?
Tall, dark, handsome, bit of stubble, nice eyes.
No.
I need somebody who is strong,
not just in themselves, but in their stature.
As long as they look like they've had a good wash,
I'm not particularly too concerned with what they're wearing,
but I do like them to look quite smart.
A lot of the dates that I arrange,
within the last month, I would say probably in excess of 20 arranged,
and two have actually showed up,
so the attendance isn't looking very good at the moment.
Make sure I'm in.
I don't want to be having any accidents.
Anita's date is here,
and he's a slice of prime northern beefcake.
Good evening, how are you? Hiya, Max.
Max. First date? Yes.
She's been expecting you, actually. Yeah, has she?
My grand is from Slovenia.
Play rugby for Slovenia, international.
My four brothers, it's good fun.
Guinness World Record holders
for five international brothers playing on the same pitch at the same time.
Is that him? If it is, tell me what you think.
Is that her over there? I think so.
His hair's a bit long, but we can sort that out.
My mum wants me to be courting,
but she might have lost faith,
maybe six to eight years ago.
This way, please.
Hi. Nice to meet you, you all right? I'm Max.
Nice to meet you, I'm Anita. Hi, Anita, nice to meet you.
Hi, you all right? Yeah, very well, thanks.
You smell lovely. Cheers. You look great. Thank you.
A few years have passed,
and my dad passed, just a sudden heart attack.
We were all horrendously down at the start,
but the house is starting to settle family-wise,
so I think I'm at a good point in my life right now
that I want to start looking for a relationship.
Cheers. Yeah, cheers.
So, what do you do for a living, then?
I'm a graphic designer.
Oh, right, OK, so you're, like, artistic and quite creative.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah? I do portraits and stuff.
That just comes with you.
Not like the Titanic, like, naked?
Right, that was in college.
You're not going to ask me to strip up and put a necklace on it yet?
Not tonight. OK.
How about you? I'm a mental health support worker.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, I enjoy it, but it's hard work.
I mean, I did quite a long shift last night, so I'm a bit buggered, yeah.
Did you? Wow. I used to do that as well.
Did you? In Liverpool.
Really? Yeah.
That's a hands-on worry, then.
Yeah, I was on the ward all the time with the patients.
So it's like a mental health ward? Yeah, yeah.
I did some time there, then I got a full-time job, graphics,
and I thought I enjoyed it, but my real passion was in graphics,
so I went back, but I enjoyed it.
What star sign are you?
Erm... Oh, ****, I'm going to get this again.
How do you tell? Oh, you're not really, like...
Hey, you're into what you're into.
OK, so, are you quite competitive, then? Yeah.
I don't know much about all the other ones,
but I do know the ones that I'm compatible with.
Surely you can't section everyone in humanity into 12 personalities.
Yeah, you can. You can? You think so?
I think that's absolutely awful.
OK.
I think I've nailed my English accent.
It sounds very English. Is it very English?
I think you sound very London.
I have a very good Chinese accent myself,
but we'll crack that out later. No, I want to hear that.
We've had tequila, it's time for the accents.
No, no, I need the bathroom.
Are you out to your family and stuff?
Yep, yeah, very, yeah. Are you fully?
Yep, I'm watching TV with my parents,
and I was just wondering somehow
I was probably going to break up with this particular boyfriend,
and then neither of them were looking at me.
I just said, and to be honest, guys, I'm pretty sure I'm a lesbian.
And they both just kept watching telly, and they went, OK.
A little bit of me still has the dream
that I'm going to meet Prince Charming,
and that he will resolve all of the problems
around me not actually liking men
and me being really attracted to women.
Not that I... I don't want to be straight,
but there's still a tiny bit of me that wants to be swept off my feet
by a man, even though I don't actually want a relationship with a man.
I'd far rather be swept off my feet by Princess Charming,
but there are no films about that,
so I can't romanticise about it as easily.
Are your parents less cool with it? No.
I came out to my parents before my friends.
Because they were comfortable with it?
No. Oh. OK.
I told my mum after school,
just yelling it down the corridor of the flat,
I think my dad took it better than my mum.
She's a bit of a traditional Chinese mum.
But you were lucky, right?
I was quite lucky. My parents were very cool with it.
My granny, when I told her, even though she's, like, 80,
her reaction... Was?
She went straight in and asked about strap-ons,
and I was like, oh, my God, like, we're in a restaurant, granny.
OK, OK.
So what do you do over the weekend?
I love my funk and my soul music and... Yeah?
I went to see Stevie Wonder live on my own. Did you? That was good.
Yeah, no-one would come with me. I'd have gone with you.
I went to see Four Tops with my mum and my auntie.
What?! Really? Yeah.
So your mum's like a bit of a 70s queen, then?
Yeah, 60s, 70s queen. Yeah.
What about your dad?
He loved that sort of music. Not with us any more.
Sorry. No, it's all right.
That's why I moved home from Manchester.
I was living there and went home to move with my mum.
When people, of course, on dates are like,
oh, you live with your mum? It's not like that.
I still have a career, my friends,
but I've just decided to live at home and help out of the nest.
Some girls don't like the fact that you live at home,
but that's them to take or leave, you know?
I'm not saying it's going to be like that forever.
I don't want to be 40 still living at home.
It's not a weakness. No, no. Thanks.
You know, that'll change, but I just need a good girl to change it.
That's why I'm so into rugby,
cos my dad sort of brought us up on it.
Just rugby's what I'm all about.
It's pretty significant, then.
Deep, deep story for us, that, isn't it?
Nah, it's not too deep. That's all right. It makes sense. Yeah.
Do you sort of, I know, play into it isn't the right word,
but, like, the whole butch femme thing? No.
I think I'd go for chapstick,
cos I wouldn't say I'm a lipstick lesbian,
nor would I call myself a butch.
You know, you fit a stereotype of lesbian,
but I don't think it has to be butch or femme.
I know I'm not butch, but I'm going to be like,
yes, I can pick up a ham.
I like girls which are feminine, more feminine than me.
If she can cook and clean, that'd be good.
I'm just kidding. I can do those things.
I can fix something, but at the same time, I will cry.
Like, I'm like, I will also be, you know, really emotional.
I think she's the type that I've kind of wanted to have,
but I've never quite got there.
Now I'm going to say, yes, she is my type.
Live feedback. It's been fun.
Live feedback. It's been all right.
She's hot as ----.
She's really fit, yeah.
Shall we go for drinks after? Yeah, yeah. Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm just going to go for it and say yes.
Hi. Hello.
Hello.
Was there anything bad from the...?
Did you have, like, a bit of a bad time? No.
No, I had a good time.
Yeah, perfect. Thank you very much.
She's quite cool.
I'm not cool.
She just said...
Excellent. Very good.
Thank you.
I think it would be cool to see each other again.
Yeah. I want to find out more about you.
Yeah, me too.
Do you guys want some dessert?
I've got mine. You've got yours.
Is it coming? Oh!
I didn't get it!
You've got good legs.
You have good player legs.
Yeah. When are you next playing?
Erm, Saturday.
Saturday? How do you feel about me turning up and cheering?
Do it. Do it? Yeah.
Why not? Absolutely.
What do you want me to cheer?
Sagi.
No way. Sagittarius.
Go, Max. Go, Max. Go, Max.
I'm a Sagittarius banner, and then I know the truth.
No-one else really knows what you're doing here.
Everybody else just sits on a ******* loom, isn't it? Yeah.
What's the time?
4 to 12.
Oh!
What were your anticipations?
What could have been the worst-case scenario?
Not like this at all.
This is, like, the best-case scenario ever.
SHE LAUGHS
Sometimes you're aware that people are very attracted to each other.
It's obvious, the body language, you know, the touch of a hand,
or the way people look at each other.
It's about that connection. It's about that bond.
It's about that warmth.
There's always, you know, a table or a couple,
and they are so lost in the moment
that they just forget everything around them.
Obviously, I wasn't hoping for miracles.
That is definitely a ******* sign.
Can I draw a picture of you?
That's what I want to see.
What colour eyes have you got?
Burgundy.
Why are you laughing?
This is brilliant.
You ready? Absolutely.
I did not know I had hairy cheeks.
Oh, wow.
Do you like it? Are you going to show everybody?
Everybody I know.
Thank you. See you.
