Hema & Ajai Joke About Marriage But Are Now Married! | First Dates

39-year-old AJ has arrived early for his date. It's not your average bowtie, then. Thank you. I just find it hard putting in the slack. You work out where the slack is and where in the tying process you need to either give the slack or reduce the slack. That's the true joy of a bowtie, is it? Being able to tie it in the first place. I think that's probably why I do it, just because I'm a bit pretentious like that. Despite being an expert in tying neckwear, there's one particular knot he's struggled to master. So, I have proposed to three women in my life. All of whom have said yes, but have never been married. I think I'm trying to break some sort of speed record. You know, meet someone and get engaged by the end of the day. But that's not how relationships work, believe it or not. At 39 years old, I've suddenly realised. AJ's date is photographic retouch manager, Hema, who, at 32, is finding it hard to pull. How are you? Hello. I thought you couldn't do it. It's pretty heavy. Shall I take your jacket off? Marriage is important to my family. My cousins and my sister all kind of got married in the same year. And I was like, they're like, oh, hey, I'm the single one. Because I'm the eldest. They're constantly asking, am I going to get married? Come with me. I can't wait for the day to be like, this is my boyfriend. I'm getting married. OK, now you can leave me alone. Hello. Hey, how are you doing? Hema. Nice to meet you, AJ. Hi. Please, take a seat. Oh, God, let's climb into the seat. How are you? I'm good, thanks. How are you doing? Yeah, I'm good. Tell me about you. Well, basic work in retouching. I know it sounds a bit dodgy. So kind of touch-up photography for print. I've been single for five and a half years. I probably haven't been on as many dates as I should have in that time. Probably less than ten. Would you like to follow me, please? Thank you. And you kind of question, what did I do wrong? What didn't they like about me? Height has always been, like, an issue. I want one. I feel like I'm at home already. There we go. Now I'm at the right height. High level. What do you do? I'm one of those very rare things. I'm an Indian accountant, is what I am. Don't know, there's not many. There's not many around. Don't know. But I said something, like... I'm going to make accountants and see sexy. Oh, my God. I failed. How's it going? Food or the date? The date. She's very attractive. Really interesting. Good fun. It looks like it's going really well. Now you've just tempted fate. Now you've just put a... Oh, God, let's touch some wood, shall we? Get me some wood around here. It's just, like, mustachioed. I'm, like... Bigger than Mr Mustachio's mustachio. So I don't know. I have to go back. God, he's going to think I'm, like, taking a poo. Crikey. Oh, my God. I thought you'd legged it. You got something. Oh, are you joking? The one faux pas that did not meant to make. Is it something that you're going to keep, do you think? I don't know. What do you reckon? It's, like, quite, like... Which I'm assuming is a good thing. Yeah. Bye-bye. Thank you very much. Do you think you will ever get married in the future, then? Yeah, all my life. I've wanted to get married. Yeah. But probably for the wrong reasons. Yeah. Now... My mum will say to me, meet someone. Meet a girl. Don't get married, just meet someone. Meet a girl, meet a boy, meet a dog. Just... Just find someone. Yeah. But I want to meet someone. Yeah. Because you want that closeness, you want that... You want that closeness, don't you? Surely. She's bright, she's beautiful, she's engaging. Just what you'd want for a date. Would you rather have... really big bug eyes or lobster hands? Eyes. You're going to choose eyes. So, I'll be looking into your eyes and it'll be like... All 16 of them. Yeah. No. Oh, look at them. I don't even know the restaurant's clothing around them. I love laughing and he made me laugh a lot. Do you snore? No. Do you? Of course not. I don't snore. Is Argos still open? Can I get a ring? I'm sure there's an old adage there somewhere. Four proposals makes the man. We're the last ones here. That's your fault, because you keep talking. Hey. Hello. I'm seeing you here. Would you like to see each other again? Oh, wow. Wow, OK. You go first. It's... Be careful, I am here. It's the nostalgia. Oh, is that it? That's all it is. It's just like, you know, yeah. I just, yeah, I've never done a moustache before, so... Thank you very much. Thank you. Good night. It's not real, by the way, do you know that? Oh, so you can just take it off and put it to the side? Yeah. It just comes out for special occasions. Oh, my God. Feel like the ring. Well... I think we got on really well. So, for me, I'd kind of like to get to know you a bit more. I think, yeah, my mum would probably love him. I don't know what his mum would think. Oh, she'd... She'd be over the moon. You're fantastic. Oh, sorry, I wasn't about to get down or anything. Just adjusting myself. Oh, my God. Into town, please, mate. Make sure you subscribe to get a regular serving of Love & Romance.
