"I Get Scared I Won't Be Able To See" | First Dates

So, what is it you do now? Like assistant bar manager for cocktail bar in the Northern Quarter. Oh, wow. I worked in Xanti for a bit, in Greece. Oh, wow. I got some stupid tattoos on there. We can have a tequila in a bit. Shut up. What does this say? Tequila type. I know. Don't judge me. THEY LAUGH That's, that's, that's... OK, what's your type? Physically... Go on. Me? Physically, it's, like, blonde... Glasses? I do like glasses. Do you actually? Yeah. You've got gorgeous eyes as well. Have you noticed I'm shaking yet? Yeah, but it doesn't bother me. Does it not bother you? I am registered visually impaired. When I think about it, it can be quite overwhelming. I get really scared that one day I won't be able to see. I have ocular albinism. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 12. So, I had a laptop that spoke to me. So, imagine all the boys with a little ugly duckling in the corner with a talking laptop and big glasses. I was, like, your target number one for bullying. Oh, mate. Schoolgrounds are mean. I just got so used to, like, being asked out as a joke. I think I turned 13 and I just felt like I had no friends. It was really lonely, actually. You're absolutely gorgeous, so they can **** off. **** it up. Oh, sorry. I just get so flustered. What do you mean, when you get compliments? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just think... You are gorgeous, though. Shut up. You are. I'm so insecure about how people feel about me. I'm just like, you're just going to laugh at me after you've complimented me. Those little things that I still do now definitely stem from school. I will show you photos of younger me and you will most definitely be like, oh, OK. Because what I'm about to show you is absolutely disgraceful and I actually can't believe I'm about to show it. No. Can I say, like, puberty worked? Puberty, thank you. You've done one good thing and that is growing my hair. Sexy. You were looking for a relationship. Hit me, come on. Top things you look for. And I'll give you mine. Who says humour? Down. Down? OK, I like this. Get on with my friends. What do you think? Do you think? Down. OK. I can trust them. Down. Really? OK, cool. Pinky. And physically attractive. Down. Hey! Smashed it. You got a winner. I can't stop smiling after this. I felt something there and I've told her everything about who I am and my past. I feel like she's happy that I've told her. On the other hand, I don't want my past one-night-stand history to mess this date up. Personality, down. Looks, down. Career, down. I didn't think of that one, but yes, down. Funny, down. Smashed it. Smashed it. Shots. Shots. We hit it off straight away. We have things in common. And I really appreciated that he was honest with me, which I think says a lot about who he is and how much he's grown up. I'm going to drop the bill for you. Erm... Oh, straight in there! LAUGHTER Hi. Are you sure? Thank you. That's all right. Would you like to see each other again? I definitely would. Yeah, go on. Yeah! Come on, then. Hey! Well, thank you. My pleasure. Oh, it's perfect. I felt like I was in the moment, then we... It went really well. I honestly thought it went... Probably one of the best first dates I've ever had. It was really good. I really like how open we were with each other. Well, thank you very much to you both. Goodbye. Happy fencing tonight. LAUGHTER It was so much fun. Shall we go and have a drink? Go on, then. Come on, then. Keep it together, you two. Do we? Power couple. There's a power couple going on right now. I don't know what that was. It was Zen.
