She Got Stood Up... Twice?! | Season 4 Episode 8 | First Dates

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and to be loved. This is no ordinary restaurant. Your date is here. No one in it besides the staff has ever laid eyes on one another before. Oh my god. I'm very pleased to meet you. I'm so gonna wet my pants. Do you curtsy? Is that a thing? All the diners are single and on a real blind date. I'm pleasantly surprised. Yeah, yeah. You're really gorgeous. You're really good looking. I'm extremely sweaty. I do apologize. They've been brave enough to let us eavesdrop. He's handsome. On one of the most intense meals of their lives. Do you want to play carpenters? First you get hammered, then I nail you. Some of them will crash and burn. How old are you? I'll be 26 in two weeks. I thought you're older. Others are about to strike it lucky. Stole that one. They've been brought together. Everyone told me I look like Buzz Lightyear. Based upon their likes and dislikes. I mean, I am a nerd. Would you say you're a boob man? Well, I am at the moment. What happens next is down to them. Why does stuff like this happen to good people? The saying goes, there's someone out there for all of us. These people are all hoping that it's true. You're going to kill me because I forgot your name already. Goddess. That'll do. How are you? It's been said that first impressions count. Nice to meet you, I'm Steve. We make a lasting impression within seven seconds of meeting someone new. You all right? But what if in these seven seconds, everything we think is true about that person is wrong? Do you get nervous? Who doesn't get nervous? Everyone likes to initially judge who you are. Then the hope is that you can break them down. That's the fun thing about it, really. I wouldn't think of you as particularly nervous. Completely wrong. Really? Very nervous. Henceforth, the ridiculousness. In the search for love, you just can't judge a book by its cover. This is Hugo's second reservation at the first date's restaurant. I'm so picky. That's probably why I'm so single. You've got, yeah, you've got to kind of have that, you know, spark really, I suppose. So yeah, that was kind of the problem. What can we get you? Something stiff. Um, can I have a G&T? G&T? Coming up. Thank you very much. You can't be disheartened, if anything. So you've got to look at it as more of a challenge and be like, right, well, let's just try, try, try again. Right, what happened on your last date? We got on really well as, you know, she was a really, really nice girl. Didn't really fancy her, which unfortunately you can't really force. Would be ideal with the personality of last time, just put into someone who's small and blonde with a big ass. I mean, that's basically the ideal woman. Taking centre stage for Hugo's encore performance is opera singer Olympia. I mean, it sounds mad, but that's what you've got to do. Because I sort of moved in the music and arts world, you know, a lot of the guys I would associate with weren't necessarily of a heterosexual persuasion. And the ones that were of a heterosexual persuasion probably hadn't realised yet that they weren't of a heterosexual persuasion. What is your name, please? Olympia. Very good. Maybe that's why I haven't had a relationship, really. It's a good-looking chap. Hello. Hi. How you doing? Very well, thanks. Hugo. Olympia. Nice to meet you. Have a good date. Thank you very much. So how's your day been? It's been extremely hectic, actually. I had to go to Norfolk. I was going there for a singing lesson. A singing lesson? Is that what you do? What are you singing? Opera? Yeah, well, that's the kind of plan. So, yeah, classical. It's a bit like being an athlete, in a way, because... Train up the neck. Yeah, yeah. Got to get a warm-up. Burn up with a really... You just need a massive... Chunky neck is what we like. A good chunky neck on a girl is exactly what we like, yeah. So where are you based? Are you based in London? East London, but I just... Whereabouts, East London? Okay, nice, nice. I grew up down in... Do you know Guildford, Godalming? Oh, I know it well. There you go. My siblings went to school there. What school? Charterhouse. I went to Charterhouse? Are you kidding me? Sorry, sorry. Sorry, it's very loud, isn't it? You're going to have to get used to this. This is part of my thing. Please don't run away. He must have left when he was 18. What was his name? Xavier Hetherington. No ----. Is your another brother called Ralph? Yeah, Ralph. Yeah, Raphael. He was in my year at school. Oh, my God, that's so weird. That is bizarre. That's a horribly small world, isn't it? That is very odd, that is very odd. Sorry, are you ready to come through? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you are. Take a seat here. Thank you. How are you feeling? Nervous. Nervous? Yeah. It'll be okay, it'll be okay. This is your seat. Divorced mother of two, Jackie, works in a supermarket. Oh, thank you. Always a pleasure, my dear. But in her personal life, she rarely gets checked out. I will never meet anybody at work. Every relationship guru says, when you're shopping, look at what they've got in their basket. Listen, love, men in their 50s have got six basic pork pies, ten amends, and a packet of fags. And I think, well, come by. I've not been in a relationship for a long time. Reason being, I am quite choosy. Even though people say, oh, you're getting older, I don't think you should settle for something that you don't really want just for the sake of anybody. But I still think, I still want to look at somebody and think, yeah, I want to rip your clothes off. I don't. Tell you what, Fred, I'll swap in for you if he's no good. Oh, okay. We're going to give it 10 minutes and then it's like, sorry, you're substitute number one. All right. Is that all right? No, I'll be okay. Jackie's blind date is disc jockey, Ricky. He's no stranger to the odd wedding or two. There's nothing better doing a wedding and you're seeing the bride and the groom and the first dance and they're really happy. And I love that feeling. Hello, how are you? A shame it hasn't worked for me, but... Nice to meet you. All right? Yeah. You all right? Yeah, good, good. What's your name? Jackie. Yeah. Enjoy your date. Thank you. Can you be romantic? Can be. But yeah, of course you can. Everyone can be romantic. But I don't believe in love at first sight. Not now. I think lust at first sight. How many kids you got? Two. Yeah? What about you? One. That I know of. So have you got a son or a daughter? Son. Yeah, he's wishing me well today, bless him. So do I, you know, just be yourself. I says, what, get pissed up and roll around on the floor? Is that your party face? You're going to kill me because I forgot your name already. Goddess. That'll do. I feel a bit strange about the fact that you kind of, you don't know who I am, but you sort of know. We potentially could have crossed paths. Yeah. I think it may have happened. Yeah, we probably have. Oh, we've been brought together by fate, it's one and all. Ah, what a dream. It is easier to date someone who comes from a similar background. I'll give you that. I've been to your chapel. What did you think of the chapel? It's very lovely. It's a not a bad chapel. You go to the same places, you'll know the same people, you've had the same sort of upbringing. That all makes it a lot easier than perhaps, you know, someone who doesn't understand your world and you don't understand their world. So I know the opera very well because my mother is an opera singer or was an opera singer. Back in the day. So I went to like, Tosca, Madame Butterfly, I went to all these things. It was so much fun. I wouldn't have guessed that. Do you like it or was it one of those things where you're like, Mum, I've got to go to Tosca. Tosca, I love. Tosca. Tosca is a bad boy opera. My godmother was an agent for like Pavarotti, these kind of people. So she was very much involved in the whole thing. Wow, oh yeah. Never been of opera. Oh my god, okay. Yeah, a little bit of singing. I'm looking for someone who is just alive to the world, you know, interested in culture. Someone who can make me laugh and who is prepared to kind of take the piss a bit. That kind of lightness is very like sexy and attractive. That feeling that you can josh a bit with each other. So give me a wave if you need anything else. Can I ask you one question before you leave? Yes. Are these edible, these flowers? They are, indeed. Go for it. Crack on with the shrubbery. Crack on with the shrubbery, my dear. Crack on. Sorry, sorry. We've got to be calm, we've got to be calm. Should I turn it down? No, no, no, no, no. Should I be a normal human being? Oh god, no. No, no, no, far too boring. Would you... I mean, you're just going to have to say yes to this. Well, eat some of your shrubbery. I want... That's a bit forward. Sorry, sorry. A very inappropriate joke I did. Have this nice pink one. Actually eat this? Yeah, come on, let's go. It's absolutely vile. Oh god, it's like I'm chewing the countryside. Like a cow ---- on my face. What do you do at work? I work in a supermarket. Really? What are the jobs? I've worked in a few nightclubs. What sort of bar was it? Topless. And if you were, I'd come in. You swiped a playboy? Yes. I used to strip. Shut up. Do you teach the dream boys, are they not? They got their figures from me, obviously, yeah. At dinner, normally let's talk about sex. Sex, your weight, your age. No, I didn't know about either of those, but we can... You can never ask a woman to weigh to dinner. How much do you weigh? Let's get you on the scales. I'm sure there's one in the kitchen. One thing I'm interested to know about is, you're single, I'm single. What's been your deal kind of relationship-wise? Just a lovely, lovely rollercoaster of fun. I've only ever had two proper girlfriends. Okay, wow. One was at school, at Charterhouse, and one was at university a bit after. Both were a lot of fun, but didn't work out. Why do you think it didn't work out? I'm sure it's mostly my fault, as per usual. What about you? Checkered? Disastrous? Well, I've never been in love, for example. That's quite sad. Yeah, it is. I suppose having not been in love, I feel as though I've missed out on something. I've missed out on this great, you know, this great adventure that's so much poetry and music, and you know, everything is written about love. When it does eventually happen, I think it'll be all the sweeter, because it will, yeah, it'll be this thing that, you know, has sort of, you know, been kind of hoped for. Okay, talk to me. You have a curry, and what do you order? Cormac. Me too. Absolutely. There's no other option. Yes, I know what I want for a meal, something that's going to make my face explode with pain. Also, whoever thought curry before a night out was a good idea? I did it once, and I stagned him. You're sat down, you're in a position whereby your stomach is at rest. Standing up, game over. Have you ever tried it? What, standing? No, I bloody hope so. Never in my life. Ah, that wheelchair just disappeared. No, the... I'm struggling, I apologise. She's losing her mind over here, I can't deal with it. Send her off, bring in another one. I do apologise. You were supposed to come for a lovely evening, and you've got me. Married three times. Like wedding cake, all right? Oh my God, right, okay. Wife number one is my boy's mum. Yeah. We're too young. Wife number two, 11 years. And wife number three, 11 years as well. Why am I single? I lost my nerve with it all. You know, I lost, you know, my confidence. Then a week later, I thought I got cancer. What? Yeah. Seriously? You've been through it then? Yeah, but there's people worse off. Just had all the symptoms. I thought I was going to die. I was sat at the doctors on the computer, and it's cancer, cancer, cancer, cancer. I'm all clear now, so I was a bit worrying. Now I'm good. And that actually turned my life around last year. So life's too short, one shot. Enjoy every minute. Have you got a bucket list? No. No, why? There's nothing that I feel I have to do before I die. I don't have a burning ambition to, like, do anything, skydiving or anything like that. Done that. Go on, what else have you done? Kayaking with great white sharks. What? Sharks? No. Whenever I'm on a plane, I'm going on holiday. I think if that drops now and we land in the sea, I'm hoping I'll just drown straight away. I don't want to be in the water, blowing a whistle with a light attracting everything. That, ooh, fresh meat. If you're flying to Tenerife, I don't think you're going to crash in the sea and get eaten by sharks. Steven Spielberg, have I ever seen him? He's got a lot to answer for. No. I just like beach holidays. I'm not an adventure person. I wouldn't do bungee jumping, because you can't beat parachuting. I wouldn't do either. Because I work that hard, I just want to do nothing when I'm off. Right, that's zip, zip wire. Yeah, I've done zip wire. Yeah, I've done that. Thank you. Do you want sweet or anything? I'm all right for the minute. Are you? I don't normally do sweets. We've got something in common. You enjoyed yourself? That's been nice. Yeah, it's been nice. Could have been worse. Yeah. You hesitated then. No, I just, yeah. Hesitated then, like, ooh, got it. I was pleasantly surprised. Thought he's not bad looking. He looks like he's looked after himself, yeah. I liked him. I'd see him again, yeah. I would. So what time's your train back? Whenever. So I might just stay and have a wonder about why I'm down here. Yeah, hello. Hello again. All right, yeah. Quick, get that moth. Back in here. Come here. Do you fancy each other? I fancy you. Do you? But I knew I wasn't your type. Yeah. I knew that. I do. I think you're very attractive. I knew I wasn't your type. So no hard feelings. Your half is 85 pounds. And mine, well, not very much. I enjoyed it, honestly. Yeah. I did. I feel really bad now. Don't feel bad. Thanks very much. Have a good afternoon. See you. Bye-bye. It's fine. Don't stop me fancying you. Are you all right? Yeah. She probably deserves someone that's homely and go for the odd meal and just, I don't know. Hang on, get me pipe. Where's me slippers, love? You know, and I'm not ready for that. There's no way. Model Georgia is determined to prove she's more than just a pretty face. Guys will take one look at me and they'll instantly have this idea of what I'll be. Like I had one guy say to me, he's seen me as one night stand material. You do just a turn like that. Amazing. I want a guy that's just like, happy to be in a photograph and be like, that's my girlfriend, because I've never had that. There's nothing more nerve-wracking than sitting here and wondering if that one adult over is gonna be me. I've been single for five years. I don't know what's wrong with me. And I'm not crazy. I have cats, but I'm not crazy. So where have you come from? Newcastle. Newcastle? Yeah, I left this morning. Like left at like, I was up at half five. I'll quit dating for life. So have you been dating then for the last, I mean, few years? Not really, no. Really? I've been on dates. You've been monk-like. And I think, you know, unless you've got a thick skin, once you've been on five, six, seven, eight dates that haven't worked out... Do you get nervous? Who doesn't get nervous? Most dates are nerve-wracking, no? I wouldn't think of you as particularly nervous. I feel quite... Wrong. Completely wrong. Really? Very nervous. Henceforth, the ridiculousness. Do you let people in easily? Good question. I was quite a chubby child when I was younger. Because of that, I was really shy. And so because of being really shy, I still have that shyness in me. Very much so. Do you get more or less nervous if you fancy someone? I mean, it is part of my personality. Like, I'm like this anyway. It probably is quite difficult for women to figure out the real me, I suppose, because you kind of keep a guard up. So to combat, you know, this extreme, like, you know, oh God, what's everyone thinking of me? What, do they think I'm fat? Do they think I'm this? Do they think I'm that? You combat it by going the other way and just being really loud and really mental and really kind of a bit, like, crazy. But it's kind of like, I think, you don't want to go inward. That's the worst thing, you know, that's the worst thing you can do. You know, because if you go inward on your personality, you sit there and cry, like, darling. I know, it's so sad. The whole thing's a nightmare. I had a huge amount of fun and I think he's quite eccentric and I like eccentric people. I like your blue eye, dark hair combination. This and this. That's good, that's good. I've got both of those, that's good news. I'd say physically, he was my type. Nice sort of stubble, nice hair. You know, he's a lovely looking boy, lovely looking. Right, shall we go? Let's go. Thank you very much. Would you like to see each other again? I think that we had a good time. Yeah. However, I'm not entirely sure that perhaps it was quite, um, there, shall we say. Yeah. Sorry. No, no, that's interesting. And be good you go, don't be naughty. Don't be naughty. Well, there we are then. I'll let you into a cab. Yeah. I find you quite inscrutable in a way. I don't really know what you're, what sort of, um, going on in your noggin. Take it easy. Good night. See you later. Bye-bye. On paper, it all makes sense. But in practice, it didn't quite click. What's going wrong? What am I doing wrong? Have you got a girlfriend? I'm married actually, yeah. To a woman? To a woman, yeah. You? Engaged. To a? Woman. Good. How did you do that? The way my day has gone today, with all the cock-ups I've had, I really won't turn up. I'll be getting a bottle of wine and just sitting here on my own. Oh, he better be bloody worth it. I need to stop going for like the same sort of kind of thing every time with a guy. And end up in the same situation where I'm sat there looking at my phone and I've not heard off him and I'm just like, I don't know where I'm coming or going. Alcohol, okay? If I'd come from Newcastle and he stood me up, I would hunt him down. Good evening, this is Fred, I'm actually from the First Date restaurant. Your date has arrived, so if you could please give us a call. Everyone's on dates and I'm the awkward turtle just sat at the bar like... What did the duck say when he bought some lipstick? I don't know. Put it on my bill. On my what bill? I don't get it. What's a duck's mouth called? Big. Hi, what is your type? Basically like Johnny Depp, sort of good looking and dark and the mysterious man usually. Half an hour and two drinks in, Georgia is still waiting for her mystery man. You're eyeing them up as they come through the door then. My eyes are on stocks. Company director Stephen already has one special lady in his life. I live with my nan. She's got quite old-fashioned views. Two, please go to the bar and wait. Okay, thank you very much. One girl I was dating, she was like, oh she doesn't clean. I was like, nan, I don't need a cleaner, I need a girlfriend. And she's like, oh no, no, she doesn't cook, doesn't clean, doesn't knit. I was like, alright, knitting. You alright? Are you a dick? No, I don't think so. Where are you from? Newcastle. Where are you from? I'm from Wrexham, North Wales. I've never heard of it. I don't blame you. You haven't got like a Welsh accent? No, a lot of people say I sound a bit farmer-y. You do, yeah. Do I? No one ever goes like, you sound like a farmer, that's really sexy. You never know, some girl would love that. Linguistic student Anna may be looking for love, but she's wary of falling head over heels. In my school yearbook, I was voted the clumsiest of the year, but I didn't even know I was clumsy at that point. What's your name please? I'm Anna. Anna. I'm worried I'm going to trip on my heels. I'm really paranoid I'm going to drop food down me. I went on a date before and like, just knocked his pint over by accident, because I was talking with my hands. Oh well. Like that. Shall I take your jacket? Yes please, thank you. Thank you very much. Sorry, quite lame. Oops. Don't worry. It's hard to come across as graceful when you're this clumsy, and then when you trip and land in their arms, it's not as romantic as it sounds. So sorry to interrupt. This is your date? Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Steve. Hello, I'm Anna, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. So what was your name again? It's Stephen, it's alright, do you know who else it was? I don't know. You don't have to remember your name, do you? Where to are you from? I'm Wrexham, North Wales. No, you're not. Yeah, where are you from? I'm Swansea. You're Llechli. Where? You're Welsh. Well, I say I'm Welsh, but I'm right on the border, aren't I? So I don't, if you start coming out with Welsh stuff. I'll play along, I'll be like. Yeah, I'll start speaking Welsh to you, I'll put you through. But I don't live there. I just want someone that I could take home and that they could have a full-blown conversation with Nan. Because obviously Nan's a big part of my life, so if she doesn't get on with Nan, that'll be a nightmare. But I don't live there at the moment, though. Where do you live? York, at the university. What are you studying? Linguistics. Oh yeah. Would you like to follow me, I'll take you to your table? Yes, thank you. After you, no, after you. Thank you. I'll be keeping my eyes on the door now for a Johnny Depp look-alike. I know, every time I walk through the door, I'm like, he's got a Johnny Depp. Is he actually coming? He's not, is he? Look, I'm sorry, he's not coming. Has he? I'm really, really sorry. I don't know what to say. I mean, I think he got cold feet. I think this is my feeling, you see what I mean? I think that for anyone who gets stood up, it's very disappointing. What I need to do is put myself in the shoes of the data and see how they are feeling. It's just me all over, it really is. It can happen to everybody. Some people need a bit more TLC than others. And he's missing out, he's missing out, I'm telling you that. At the end of the day, I think you need to be confident within yourself and know who you are. So look, I mean, you are very welcome to stay here, have another drink. What we might do is maybe organise another date for you. I'll let you know. Yeah, nice one. All right, anyway, c'est la vie. Some you win, some you lose. I feel like I should have the philly goat's cheese. I think you should. You don't have to do everything well, though, do you? You're not going to have a slice of dragon for the main course or something like that. Tom Jones comes over to serve it. It's not unusual. I love that. Banking agent Alex may be a financial whiz kid. How are you? Hey, I'm very good, how are you? But when it comes to dating, he doesn't give himself enough credit. It's Alex. How do you rate yourself out of ten? I'd probably rate myself a six out of ten. Would you like to go for a drink in a bar? Great, thank you. It's quite low, isn't it? I mean, you're a pretty good looking guy. I think six is the way I see myself. I don't know, probably. I don't tend to go up to girls or things like that. My mates are completely opposite. They're all massive perverts, to be fair. All right, speak to me. We'll go on a night out and they'll be all over everyone. Love you too, bye. I've not got the greatest confidence with doing it. I'm just a bit apprehensive that they are going to say no. Hi. You all right, how are you doing? I got stood up. Oh, are you kidding? I'm just kidding, I've literally come all the way from Newcastle and I got stood up. Nightmare. I know, what kind of boys climb together? All right, thank you very much. Where have you come from? Liverpool. Attraction is very important. I'm all about the initial sort of like flutter of, oh, he's nice. So what kind of girl are you asked for? Just a nice, genuine girl. They're actually quite rare. Like genuine guys, they're quite rare. I'd like to think I'm one of them, but... Are you? You've got to get the tummy flutters and the fairy flutters. Like, you know, if you're not attracted to them. Like, if I can't imagine myself naked with them, I'm like, it's not going to happen. I'm sure he'll regret it in the morning. Yeah, I hope he does. Yeah. I'm a catch. It's his fault. There you go. You never know, maybe some of these will go badly. Yeah. Radiographer Heather has been single for three years. Oh, this is so scary. Now she's looking for a man to help build her perfect nuclear family. What's your name, please? Please follow me. Thank you. I would like kids house, dog, nice big garden, be in our little family happiness bubble. Thank you very much. Enjoyed the evening. Thanks. I think I like the idea of old-fashioned romance. Like, you look at your grandparents and they were smitten with each other. No one else mattered. I'm absolutely terrified. It's not true. It's when they think they're not going on very well and they're just sitting so awkward. So, do you like bread? See, I'm laughing. That's probably going to be me though. That is going to be me. How are you? I'm not bad, how are you? Yeah, very good, thank you. Good, good. Your date has arrived. Oh, has she? Yes. Of course, I'll take you through. See you later. Thank you very much. Here we are. Hello, nice to meet you. That's me. I'm Heather. Thank you. You're already here. Thank you very much. I didn't even see you come in. Oh, did you? No, no. I'm really hungry. I'm not going to lie. No, don't blame me, I'm absolutely starved. I need to sleep normally, so I'm like... Yeah, I don't really know what I fancy, to be quite honest. I might get the squid ink pasta. Oh, nice. Do you like octopus? Have I tried octopus? I've said that. I'm not sure if I have actually, now I've said that. The one here is quite fit, actually. It's quite nice. Yeah, he's quite my type, actually. You think? Yeah. But you know what Bill Gates said? Life's not fair. I know. Better get used to it. Do you like coffee? Oh, coffees. A weak coffee, yes. So basically, not really. No, I enjoy coffee, just not too strong. What's it like where you live? What, York or Wales? Both. Both? I'm like crippling, it's not real, I'm a mess. Do you just call yourself a mess? Yeah, I just don't like it. Aw, you're not a mess. I've had a few people make me feel guilty or silly about being clumsy. Because I have had boys being just a bit... Making comments and being like, why are you doing that? And it's like, do you think I'd choose to throw spaghetti down myself? Have I spilt a bit? What? No, you haven't spilt it. You're cool. I need someone who's just going to be nice about clumsiness and things, and just not make me feel embarrassed at all. Laughs at it. Okay. I was distracted by the flowers. Get back to something. It was bound to happen. I think it's gone in my bag. That's a cool way of robbing stuff, just... I like that lamp as well. We're going to have to do a toilet relay, because I didn't want to go to the toilet while you were in the toilet. You're coming back and it'll be no chip stuff now. You go for it. I'm not going to do that. You got yourself in bed yet? No, not quite finished yet, Nan. I just wanted to check you're okay, that was all. I'm still in London. Are you okay? When I was five, mum and dad broke up. So I basically moved into Nan's house for a year or two, while the divorce was going through. Do you want me to come pop my head around the door when I come home? Which is kind of probably why I enjoy looking after her now, because she's been there for me, so I like to be there for her. It's going okay. We'll have a cup of tea. I wanted the twilight of her life to be the best part of her life. Okay. Love you, Nan. How's it going? You all right? I'm all right, I'm okay. You just screw up, don't you? No. I won't even notice. I want to see more of Europe. That was like my thing this year, because I was like, I've been to other places, but I was like, there's so many beautiful places in Europe. So we did Milan and Lake Como last month, Paris and Calais like a couple weeks before. Portugal, Morocco, Amsterdam, China. In China, I went to Shanghai, Guilin and Hong Kong. Really? I don't have a problem with making conversation. I was meant to be going to Nepal this November. Yeah. But we've delayed it till next November. Right. But I've been on some dates where it feels like I'm talking to like a brick wall. I don't think my friend that's booked it with me has really read the itinerary properly. No. But yeah, so that's next year. That's cool. But then sometimes I think I need to sit back and let that person draw some stuff out of me as well and really listen to each other. You've just got to find a common ground, I guess. Did 13 states across America. That was just last summer. And then the amount I go on about it, everyone's so annoyed with me. Like, here she goes again. I'm like, this one time in America? They're like, shut up Heather. Do you want another drink or anything? I'm all right. I'm just sipping that one for now, yeah. I am a bit of a lightweight. It's all in the house. Oh, thank you so much. No, no, no. It's the least we can do. Yeah, it's fun watching other dates. Like, see how awkward some of them are. My dad was like, you're doing that thing again, where you're planning too much stuff. Yeah. Which is a bad habit of mine. How is it? You don't know whether actually they are liking each other, I think. It's hard to tell. Like, you can't tell if it's like chemistry. Like, some people you can. But then, you know, people, if they don't have that connection after 60 seconds, then you can just go into that friend zone or something. Did we both hurt our ankles? Yeah, yeah. What in common here? Have you broken many bones before? Well, you know what? It's better to be alone than with the wrong person. We've all been there. We meet the right person at the wrong time. I don't want to drink too many mojitos. Play it safe. Go for wine. Yeah, yeah. So my advice would be to seize the day. Like, the smallest little Evian bowl. Yeah. Is full of gin. And I thought, so I won't get drunk. It was awful. I missed my taxi. Arrivederci. Thank you very much. It was a pleasure. Thank you very much. My dog gets more action than me. I ---- you not. X-rays look at anything, from like different diseases in the lungs and... That's probably my worst one. You see the shape of that? Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, could I have some parmesan, please? Thank you. Thank you very much. I love parmesan. Just tell me when. When. When? When. God. Beautiful drinks. Yeah. I don't even drink. Have you always just never, like, drank? About seven years. Since 2007, yeah. Basically, yeah. Grandad died. And then I started looking after Nan. So I don't drink because I look after Nan, so. Oh, that is lovely of you, Blair. I built Nan a bungalow in the garden of where I live. So you live... Do you live, like, next door to your Nan, then, like? Yeah, basically, the house is there, and then the bungalow thing's right there. Every morning, I knock on the door and say hello, Nan. Make sure she's all right for the day. I'm a bit of an old woman, really. I enjoy Everdale, having a cup of tea, making something, like, knitting and crocheting, and just relaxing in my new pyjamas. Like, every dinner, I phone her. Usually, it's just about the cat. Oh, you're Nan's so blush, though. Oh, she is lovely. She's like my best mate. I'm not expecting us to have dates in where we're, like, sitting crocheting together. They don't have to be a knitter. I can teach them. Not getting defeated by a pom-pom. It's a little broke, isn't it? God, let's go back to when I made it here. Don't look at that one. She likes to crochet. Well, she used to, but she's got her foot in it. I talk about Nan a lot. No, no, I like it. It's nice. You like it? That's cute. Sometimes, people get put off by that. Put off by what, are you? Oh, he's such a nice boy. No, it's not, though, is it? Oh, God, he looks after his Nan. He doesn't, like, trip her up on the stairs or something. Sometimes, the people I've dated don't really get on with Nan. Yeah, because Nan likes old-style people. Like, someone like yourself who likes knitting and stuff like that. She would love you. I know, and Everdale. All of that sort of stuff, I mean... Everdale. Nan's gone off-hand, though. Really, what, are you? She thinks it's got too much sex in it. You've got a cute little smile, you, innit? Has that got a gap in my chest? I like that. I like that. It's like Madonna. It's Madonna! Does she have a scapula? Stop looking at it! That's right. You know, with some people, you can just tell they're nice people. Like, it just, like, beams over them and all that. That's a little cheesy, but, like, you can... I get that with him. No, you're a good-looking girl, ain't you? Stop it. What do you mean? You get it a lot. You must get it a lot. Don't. It was really, really lovely talking to him, so I feel like I want to talk more to him. See, the more I talk about it, the more I'm like, oh, he is lush, isn't he? In time with me. Well saved. You've got, like, reactions like a fighter pilot or something. You have to have them when you're, like, this clumsy. It seems like she would go out of her way to have a conversation with Nan, which would be cute. That's there. Thank you. It should be nice for those two to get on and have someone, Nan to have a friend and me to have a friend as well. I'll pick this one. This one's on me. This one. But next time, don't you? Are you sure? Yeah, of course I'm sure. Thank you. You're welcome. How's it going? Oh, yeah. Graceful. That was graceful. I know. Well done, that. I'm in for you. And just punch me in the face for doing it. Thank you very much. Oh, did I punch? He's going first. Oh, man, I said you were going to go first. Nah, be a gentleman. You can go first. Where have you gone? Oh, there you are. Where have I gone? Just do it. I'd see him again. Yes. You don't know what a relief that is. Yeah, I'd see her again. Numbers, do you want to pop it in? Pop it in? Playing it cool. Play that one, Dave. Lovely to meet you. See you again. Exactly. Good girl for you. All right, gentlemen. She's a nice girl. She's a pretty girl. Pretty girl. And obviously, it's not just about looks. I like that she can knit with Nan. I'll just give you that. Great. 360 there? Yeah. Nice. When you see a girl and you know if they give you the look and you think, yeah, she likes me there, but then having the actual courage to go up to her. It should be a man's thing to do, really. A man should go up to the woman, in my opinion. But I don't. You've gone up to people, you know, where you've tried. You thought, oh, I like her sort of thing. And then just being knocked back, it's not a great feeling. So it sort of pulled me off the idea. I would come home kicking myself, really, if I've not done it. Which is why I really need the courage. And I don't know why I don't, to be fair. I should just go up to them. Do you have a coat, or...? Yeah, there's a little jacket in. A little jacket? Sorted! Because I could see her. She wasn't far away at all. And I was just determined not to look. I was like, no, don't do it. Don't be that guy. Is it this one? The spiky one? Yeah, it's mine. Like Mad Max. Who were you initially more attracted to? So this is Scubadink Cluster. Wow. Probably more attracted to Georgia to look at. But Heather was still a pretty girl. Different. I think I probably would have got on quite well with him. Because we just have a giggle. But it looks like his date was going well, which I'm happy for. Are you really? Well, you know, I wouldn't ever dream of another girl not getting her date, so... Yeah, I'm quite happy for them. I've never tried this before. It seems to be completely adventurous. Why not try something new? I thought he was a good-looking guy, yeah. I mean, I didn't get butterflies. Nope. I'll make a scene. Oh, thank you. Thank you for turning up. It's all right. You all right? Good night. Well, I thought it went well. I mean, I didn't get that, like, initial spar. No. Did you have a good night, though? Yeah, it was really good. Did you? Yes. I just hope, like, the nerves didn't fully get, like, the bitter of me. Yeah. I was just worried that we wouldn't be able to talk about anything. But, you know, you taught Franklin, so... Thank you. What a gent. Lovely to meet you. You too. See you soon. I feel like he's a bit out of my league. Don't be silly. All right, mate, how you doing? If that date doesn't go well, could we put you together? Potentially. Maybe.
