00:01Previously on Match Me Abroad.
00:03I found my luggage, yay.
00:06So my plan is to move to Singapore if I find my soulmate.
00:08Right away.
00:09I'm all packed up, just ready to go.
00:12I love that you're a quirky, Harold.
00:14But don't be yourself.
00:16Who would you have me be?
00:18A charming, a suave guy.
00:21Did it hurt?
00:22Did it hurt what?
00:23When you fell from heaven.
00:24Yeah.
00:25Don't do that.
00:27No.
00:27Soon we'll be together here in Brazil.
00:33I'm very excited because Brazilian men are, like, super hot, right?
00:38Like, I can see myself lying on a beach and this chiseled man emerging out of the water
00:46that you just want to lick from head to toe.
00:50We have good potential matches for you here.
00:53This is Bruno.
00:55Bruno.
00:56It's so cute.
00:58Ah!
00:59I traveled 4,500 miles to Ireland to find the love of my life.
01:06You're excited?
01:07I'm more than excited.
01:08But I'm worried because I get wrapped up in romance so easy.
01:12Love is in the air, Catalan.
01:14Oh, yeah, it is.
01:15It's in the air.
01:16Say your name again.
01:17Keevan.
01:18Keevan.
01:19Yeah.
01:20I love it.
01:21Irishmen usually take things slow, and keeping Amber's history in my mind, what I fear
01:34is that she will scare her match away.
01:37Ooh.
01:39Oh, my gosh.
01:50We're not in Dublin anymore.
01:54Oh, my gosh.
02:02We're not in Dublin anymore.
02:04This is like a dream come true.
02:05I feel like I am about to meet Keevan,
02:08and it's about to be like I'm about to go to Mr. Darcy's
02:11house off of freaking Pride and Prejudice or something.
02:14Like, this is so cute.
02:15Oh, this is going to be a first date to remember,
02:26because never have I ever driven on a road like this
02:29before for a first date.
02:31Yeah, this is nice and narrow.
02:32Could you imagine being, like, dating someone online,
02:35and they're like, hey, come to the countryside
02:38down this windy road?
02:39Yeah.
02:40What?
02:41Oh, that's pretty.
02:45Me and Keevan met each other at Katarina's Deep Dating
02:48Mixer, and we actually felt a connection
02:50and kind of feel hard for each other.
02:52And today is our first official date.
02:54Keevan chose the location.
02:56And I have no idea where we're going, which I love,
03:00because I love when a guy takes initiative
03:02and actually plans a date out.
03:03So I'm excited.
03:05OK, now I know that I'm super close to Keevan,
03:07because I had to use the restroom.
03:10That's nervous.
03:10That's nerves.
03:11Yes.
03:12Good nerves.
03:15Amber and Keevan have a very strong connection.
03:19There's no doubt about it.
03:21But I'm just a little worried, because Amber tends
03:24to rush into things too much and too fast.
03:28Keevan is a very kind, warm-hearted family man
03:32from Dublin.
03:34He is the perfect man for Amber, because he is the one
03:36to teach her to take things slower and learn
03:39to go with the flow.
03:40And that's what Amber needs to learn.
03:44Oh, look at Keevan.
03:46He looks so cute.
03:47He looks so cute.
03:49Oh, he's so handsome.
03:53Oh, he looks so handsome.
04:03Hello.
04:04Hi.
04:04How are you?
04:05You look so handsome.
04:06You look beautiful.
04:07How are things?
04:08It's great to see you.
04:08Wonderful.
04:09This is cute and amazing.
04:11This is cute also.
04:12This is a little thing.
04:12Oh, you're cute.
04:14Welcome to it.
04:15Welcome, darling.
04:16Welcome to Wicklow.
04:17I'm too excited.
04:18Where are we?
04:19I know.
04:20This is Wicklow.
04:21It's just outside Dublin.
04:22It's known as the Garden of Ireland.
04:24It's one of my favorite places, really.
04:26Oh.
04:27I'm so excited to be here with you.
04:29Yeah, me too.
04:30OK, let's go.
04:31Yeah, you know what we're going to do, don't we?
04:33No.
04:34And we're going to meet.
04:35So hopefully this guy gives you a hint, though.
04:36Oh, he's so cute, too.
04:38We're going to meet some alpacas today.
04:40Oh, I'm excited.
04:41I love animals.
04:43Yeah, me too, me too.
04:44You need to come to Texas.
04:45You'll see the Longhorns.
04:47What about the cowboy hats?
04:48Yeah, Texas is a different land.
04:49This is Ireland.
04:51These aren't going to fly in the fields here.
04:53So we're going to have to get some boots on.
04:55All right, let's do it.
04:56I'm a little bit excited.
04:59The only thing that Katerina told me about this date
05:02was to dress warm.
05:04But I still got to wear a pair of heels,
05:05because Keaton's like, I don't know.
05:07He looks like he's about 7 foot 8.
05:09I need a little height.
05:12Hi, guys.
05:12How are you?
05:13Hey, how are you going?
05:14I'm Janice.
05:15Nice to meet you.
05:15Amber, nice to meet you.
05:17Keaton, how are you?
05:18Nice to meet you.
05:19Great to see you've got your wellies on.
05:20You're going to need them.
05:22So we're going to go out and meet some alpacas.
05:23Yay!
05:24Let's go.
05:25Let's do it.
05:26Aw.
05:27Have you ever met an alpaca before?
05:29No, but I've always wanted to.
05:30So I'm like.
05:31Yeah, they're so cute.
05:32They are.
05:32Oh.
05:33Oh, look how cute he is.
05:34Oh, my God.
05:35They're so cute, aren't they?
05:35Oh, they are too precious.
05:36The hair.
05:37I just want to touch the hair.
05:38I know.
05:39It's so hard not to.
05:40So, Amber, pretty much you're going to be leading.
05:41Okay.
05:42So if you walk ahead and then put her on your right-hand side, and we'll head on down the
05:47lane.
05:48There you go.
05:49Come on.
05:50You're reminding me of my baby at home.
05:51Valentino is just as stubborn.
05:52Let's go.
05:53Valentino.
05:54My doggie.
05:55Oh, nice, nice, nice.
05:56Tessa.
05:57Tessa, come on, be a good girl.
05:58Tessa, she looks like puppy.
05:59Puppy is my dog.
06:00Puppy?
06:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:02Oh, what kind of a dog is puppy?
06:03She is a little Cavapoo.
06:04She's just like a big puppy.
06:05Come on.
06:06Let's go, girl.
06:07Uh-oh.
06:08So that's, uh, holding it?
06:09Yeah.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Yeah.
06:24It's much firmer than .
06:25She's like, she's trying to collect some spit.
06:27No, no, no, she's fine.
06:28Absolutely.
06:29Come round this side.
06:30Yeah, there you go.
06:31Come on, Tessa.
06:32Now, well done.
06:33Let's go.
06:34It's treats where we're going.
06:35Yeah.
06:36And snacks.
06:37Hey.
06:40Meeting Amber for the first time was a pretty unique experience for me.
06:43It's not something I'm used to doing.
06:45Shake hands when you sit down and they're feeling her heart a few seconds later.
06:49But, um, it just felt, it felt really good.
06:51Like, it felt natural.
06:52She seems very funny.
06:53Oh, it's so beautiful.
06:55But also, like, to be honest, she's full of energy and, like, massive personality.
07:00And so, I'm just hoping to keep up with her.
07:03I am excited, but it's a nervous excitement.
07:06There was an initial connection, so, just be interesting to see if that's still there today.
07:10Let's go.
07:11Come on, Tessa.
07:12Oh, uh-oh.
07:13Don't give out to her.
07:14Oh!
07:15Oh!
07:16What the ?
07:17Get you, get you.
07:18So, do alpacas fish, yeah?
07:20Did it hit you, Amber?
07:21Yeah.
07:23I feel like it hit my eyelash, of all things.
07:25Did it?
07:26No, I think you're okay.
07:27Are you trash flapping in the wind now, though?
07:28No, no.
07:29Oh, Tessa, come on.
07:32Come on, come on, come on.
07:34It's not every day that I get spit on by an alpaca.
07:38What the hell?
07:39That's so rude.
07:40Totally rude.
07:41And now I'm kind of nervous, because I know I can be loud, boisterous, and Keevan is like
07:50the exact opposite.
07:51I just hope that I didn't mess up with Keevan.
08:05This'll do.
08:08Dolly didn't like these suspenders.
08:11I'm going to wear the high-end suspenders and hope she likes them better.
08:21I am so excited to get this journey started with Dolly.
08:25I barely slept.
08:26I am very flexible, very open to change.
08:29I just would bend over backwards, but I don't want to stretch out my shirt.
08:34I arrived in Singapore yesterday, and today Dolly has arranged to start with a mock date.
08:40I am wondering what exactly will come of this, and how it'll help me with my dating career.
08:47But I trust Dolly, and I hope that she'll give me the right inspiration and tips so that I'll make the right impression on my first date.
08:58Hi, Harold!
08:59Oh, hi!
09:00How are you?
09:01Lovely to see you again.
09:02You look smart.
09:03Oh, thank you.
09:04When you said my suspenders sucked, I decided to double down.
09:07I put the nicest ones on.
09:08Yes, I can see that.
09:09Really?
09:10Yeah, I really like that.
09:11So good, like, good for you.
09:13And I like your hair.
09:14You styled it.
09:15This is really nice.
09:16I get the sense that you are becoming manlier in terms of how you look.
09:24What was that?
09:25Your superman pose?
09:26That's a flex.
09:27Oh, yeah.
09:28Okay.
09:29I like your sense of humor.
09:30So keep going with that.
09:32The mock date is something that we do for international clients who might not be familiar with the dating culture here.
09:42And so for Harold, I'm just trying to help him elevate his confidence and take the lead on dates.
09:49Because that's what most women are looking for in Singapore.
09:53Treat this like a real date.
09:54I will.
09:55I'm going to be watching you from the side to take notes so that we can help you be more ready on your actual date.
10:04Okay.
10:05Okay, follow me.
10:08This mock date will be with Kyla.
10:10She's my colleague and she is one of our coaches.
10:14I've just prepped Harold, so he's about to come in right now.
10:19Are you all set?
10:20Yes.
10:21Okay, do your thing.
10:22Yep.
10:23She knows that this is his time to practice for his first date.
10:27So she is representing a typical Singaporean woman.
10:35Hello.
10:36Hi.
10:37Hello, I'm Harold.
10:38Oh, I'm Kyla.
10:39Nice to meet you.
10:40Nice to meet you, Kyla.
10:47Hi.
10:50Hi.
10:51Nice to meet you.
10:52Nice to meet you.
10:55Loosen up a little.
10:56I can tell you a random verse and stick.
10:58Yeah.
10:59I'm working on that.
11:00I just haven't had a chance to set in yet.
11:03Okay.
11:06Oh, I have something for you.
11:08What's that?
11:09I am an artist, inventor, designer, and this is for you.
11:15Oh, thank you.
11:16That's so sweet.
11:17You're welcome.
11:18You drew this.
11:19Yes.
11:22That's so sweet.
11:23Thank you for being with it.
11:24Yeah.
11:26Would you like to get a beverage?
11:28Uh, okay.
11:29Yeah, you can take a look at that.
11:30Sure.
11:31What do you usually drink?
11:33A glass of milk.
11:34A glass of milk?
11:38Two percent.
11:39Two percent?
11:40Yes, I love two percent.
11:41I'm like a kid, right?
11:42I guess so.
11:43I never thought of it that way.
11:45Ah!
11:46Okay, okay.
11:49Should have said anything else with that.
11:51I should have said coffee because the coffee is smooth, bold, and strong.
11:56Like me.
11:57No, just kidding.
11:58I don't like coffee.
11:59It's too bitter.
12:04I love your smiles.
12:06Sorry.
12:07It's just precious.
12:08Yes.
12:11Kyla is wonderful.
12:13Her smile is so warm, and I'm really trying to relax and be my best self even on a mock date.
12:21But I am very nervous.
12:22I fear that I might mess up, and I'm sweating buckets.
12:28What do you like to do for fun?
12:30I picked up Pilates recently.
12:32Oh, nice.
12:33Yeah, and I enjoy rock climbing.
12:34So, I rock climb with my friends.
12:36Mm-hmm.
12:37How about yourself?
12:38Oh, do you collect anything?
12:39I collect stones and rocks and...
12:42Oh, okay.
12:43I also like semi-precious stones.
12:45When I was small, I'd go on walks with my parents and they'd say,
12:47Oh, look, here's a piece of flint.
12:49It's a piece of obsidian.
12:52Do you like to go fishing?
12:55Do you like nature?
12:56Mm, I like nature.
12:58Fishing, not that much.
13:00Do you fish?
13:01Yes.
13:02But what do you like about fishing?
13:03I got lost in your eyes, sorry.
13:07Oh, really?
13:08I got lost in your eyes.
13:09I could have forgot what I was going to say.
13:13Dolly wanted me to be version Harold 2.0.
13:17Confident, suave, able to flirt.
13:20But it's not going well.
13:23And this mock date is totally embarrassing.
13:27Relax a little bit more so it will make me a little more comfortable.
13:32Yes, I'm trying to be...
13:33Hey, Dolly.
13:34Can I interrupt right now?
13:36Yes.
13:37Yes?
13:38And give some feedback.
13:39Okay.
13:40All right.
13:41Okay.
13:43It makes me feel anxious because I am who I am.
13:46I'm quirky and unusual.
13:48And even though I want to be more smooth, more suave, I'm not sure that I can.
13:53I want you to get a really fun opportunity out of this and hopefully maybe meet a partner.
14:04I've been on 75 first dates.
14:06Yes, I've counted.
14:07And if I can't find love in the biggest city in America, I need to try something new.
14:12We've been putting our eggs in the loser basket.
14:15I think I need just like someone to push me in the right direction of where I should drop my eggs.
14:23You know that you're from a small town, once you get there.
14:30The Central Park walk, then on to Times Square.
14:34Oh, New York.
14:36Oh, New York love just began.
14:44I'm Victoria.
14:45I'm 39.
14:46I work in marketing operations for a liquor company.
14:50I'm originally from Texas.
14:52But about three years ago, I moved to the best city in the world, New York.
14:58Hey, how are you?
14:59Good. How are you?
15:00Good. How can I help you?
15:01May I have a slice of cheese pizza, please?
15:03One second.
15:04Oh, thank you.
15:05I would describe myself as eclectic.
15:10Oh, thank you so much.
15:12People probably say I'm a people pleaser.
15:14I like to say yes, not no.
15:16And I have like a resting happy face.
15:19Do you talk with your hands?
15:20I do talk with my hands.
15:22I have to like consciously like think to not move my hands when I talk.
15:25And then it looks awkward because I'm like thinking so much about like keeping my hands still and like not moving them.
15:32Okay, Grace, you ready?
15:33Let's go to the park and see some friends.
15:36I also consider myself a dog mom.
15:39I have the best dog in the world.
15:42There we go.
15:44I love living in New York City.
15:46I feel like I've met amazing people.
15:48But finding love has been tough.
15:50I want to be your girlfriend.
15:53Don't want to be your friend.
15:56Sit.
15:57Good girl.
16:02Hi. Come on, girl.
16:04Who is it?
16:05Hello.
16:06Hi.
16:07Her favorite person.
16:10Hi.
16:11Thank you so much for watching, Gracie.
16:13Yes, of course.
16:14And then I also need your help to pack too.
16:16So I'm extra, extra happy you're here.
16:18Yes, girl.
16:19Let me help you.
16:20Come on.
16:22Dating in America, I do feel like I'm a professional first dater.
16:25It's exhausting.
16:27I've been on 75 first dates.
16:29Yes, I've counted.
16:30And if I can't find love in the biggest city in America, I need to try something new.
16:36This?
16:37Oh.
16:38I don't know.
16:39Silk would be good in Ireland.
16:40We love a staple piece, but like that's giving like, I'm going to a business meeting.
16:46I do wear it to work.
16:47Oh.
16:48Whatever you would wear to work, let's not wear on a date.
16:52Oh, that's cute.
16:53Yes.
16:54100% yes.
16:57In a few hours, I'm headed to the airport going to Ireland because I believe the man of my dreams is there waiting for me.
17:04I mean, I do love a ginger, love some freckles.
17:07They drink a lot.
17:08I work for a liquor company.
17:10I feel like it just goes hand in hand.
17:12Also, my dad's family originally was from Ireland.
17:15I even have the same Celtic tattoo that he has.
17:19Where is your tattoo?
17:21Um, it's not showable.
17:25So like, why specifically like Ireland?
17:28I don't know.
17:29It's just like the Irish like way of being, I guess.
17:32Like their like lifestyle and you know, like going to spend so much time in like pubs and things like that and just like have that environment.
17:39Yeah.
17:40Great.
17:41I'm excited for you.
17:43I've actually dated an Irish guy before and it's probably been like one of the better guys that I've like dated.
17:51I find like their sense of humor really attractive.
17:53I love an accent, but I feel like they have like a real cheeky, sarcastic, like dark sense of humor.
17:58And I, that's what I really like.
18:00So because we still keep in touch as friends.
18:03I asked him what he thought about me going to Ireland to find someone and he said it would be a great idea.
18:09So here we go.
18:11You could say anything specific about why he thought you'd have success in Ireland?
18:16Um.
18:23I mean, I can tell you the real reason why, but I'm.
18:25Yeah.
18:26I like truth.
18:27Not a lot of Irish girls have fake boobs.
18:31So he said the Irishman will love my fake boobs.
18:36So.
18:38No.
18:39I think you're super brave for putting yourself out there and doing this.
18:44We've been putting our eggs in the loser basket, but now we're putting our eggs in an international.
18:49Mm-hmm.
18:50Well, someone's helping me choose where to put my eggs.
18:52I hope.
18:53So that.
18:54You're right.
18:55So I think that's what I need.
18:56I think.
18:57I think I need just like someone to help me, to push me in the right direction of where I should drop my eggs.
19:05I've tried the apps.
19:07I've tried speed dating.
19:08I've been set up by friends.
19:10Nothing's worked.
19:11So matchmaking's been the only thing that I haven't tried yet.
19:15I found Katarina on the internet.
19:18She seemed like a, like a straightforward, no nonsense type of person.
19:22And I think that's definitely what I need.
19:35Victoria, she's independent, quirky, nerdy.
19:41She calls herself an equal opportunity dater.
19:44But what it actually means is that she's desperate to date anyone.
19:50Victoria seems to be a big people pleaser, which makes her difficult to read.
19:55She adjusts to whoever she's hanging out with.
20:00And that tells me that she's afraid to express who she really is.
20:05So it's difficult to know what she wants in a man.
20:08But I will do my best to help Victoria figure out what she wants and what she needs.
20:17I want you to get a really fun opportunity out of this.
20:20And hopefully maybe meet a partner.
20:23Katarina was saying I need to be vulnerable.
20:25Going in and like sharing my thoughts.
20:27But it's difficult because I haven't had like the easiest go at life.
20:33Lots of transformations and lots of adjustments you've been through.
20:36Yes.
20:41When I was born, definitely wasn't like a stable, like childhood environment.
20:46My grandma, my dad's mom was the one that raised me.
20:49My dad had a problem with drugs.
20:52But we would go visit him in prison.
20:56I was constantly writing letters to him back and forth.
20:58We always were just so close.
21:00And he always was such a big part of my life and always there for me,
21:05even if he wasn't like physically there with me.
21:09And then he died when I was 19 years old.
21:11And so that pain and sadness made it really hard for me just like really like open myself up.
21:21Okay, I'm so sorry to ask, but like on a first date.
21:25If someone asks you about your family, is that going to drop any big feelings for you?
21:31Because I worry that you're fottling things up.
21:35Um, I feel like normally I maybe make too much light of it.
21:41My parents are dead.
21:43Yeah.
21:44Right away.
21:45So you don't want to eat a full meal with me today?
21:48I could tell you about it over this full meal.
21:51Her past dating life, I think she exposes a little too much of herself in a very casual way.
21:58And when they don't know how to respond, Victoria's fence goes up and is like,
22:04maybe this isn't going to work, you know?
22:06So I do think that a matchmaker will help Victoria to be vulnerable and really liberate herself.
22:14That would be really healthy for Victoria.
22:19Hi.
22:20Oh, let me see. For Victoria?
22:22Yeah.
22:23Okay, perfect.
22:24Be safe. I love you very much.
22:26Love you too.
22:27Faith caught me out today.
22:32After so many years of losing people and relationships not working out,
22:36I don't know, I just really have been missing having a companionship.
22:41I have a lot to, like, offer, guys. And I'm just, like, a fun gal. I do believe that my man is in Ireland. So I am going in blind and it feels like a big leap of faith, but I'm confident that Katarina is gonna find me the one.
22:59Yeah.
23:00Tomorrow, you're gonna have your first date.
23:04Tomorrow, you're gonna have your first date.
23:07Tomorrow, you're gonna have your first date.
23:09The video you showed me for Bruno really got me excited.
23:12Bruno is not gonna be the first one.
23:16Okay, so let's get down to business.
23:19I'm not gonna sugarcoat anything because I want Harold to understand that Singaporean women like a guy to have confidence on dates.
23:28You're doing all these things to improve yourself and we're helping you along this way.
23:33I am off the plane in Sao Paulo and it's perfect.
23:47So far, so good.
23:48And looking forward to just, I don't know, getting out there and meeting these guys.
23:53Hi.
24:03Hi.
24:05Tudo bem?
24:06Tudo bem.
24:08Obrigada.
24:10Nada.
24:13I can't even believe that I have flown across the equator into another continent.
24:18That's just, that's just crazy to me.
24:20But I am not here just to hook up.
24:22I am not here just to mess around.
24:25I'm here to find love.
24:26So, seeing that video of Bruno yesterday really got me thrilled.
24:31He is such a cutie.
24:33I, oh gosh, I am ready to start this process with Luisa as my matchmaker.
24:40Oh, wow.
24:45Awesome.
24:46Hi.
24:47How are you?
24:48How are you?
24:49How are you?
24:50You look so beautiful.
24:51So do you.
24:52Oh my God.
24:53I love your hair.
24:54Thanks.
24:55I just put in a ponytail.
24:56It's been a long day.
24:57You look so nice when you're here in Brazil.
24:58Oh my gosh, I know.
24:59It's just been awesome so far.
25:00How about love?
25:01Do you feel open to this experience?
25:02I, I think so.
25:03Um, you know, I'm 41 years old now.
25:05I've lived my life a long time putting my daughter first.
25:06So to, to change overnight is probably unrealistic, but, you know, I'm 41 years old now, but I've
25:10lived my life a long time putting my daughter first.
25:15So to, to change overnight is probably unrealistic, but I have the intentions and the desire to
25:20want to open my heart and, and be open to the process.
25:23Oh, that's so good to hear.
25:24But what I am a little bit afraid of is, is that, you know, it's just been awesome so
25:26far.
25:27How about love?
25:28Do you feel open to this experience?
25:29I, I think so.
25:30Um, you know, I'm 41 years old now.
25:31I've lived my life a long time putting my daughter first.
25:33So to, to change overnight is probably unrealistic, but I have the intentions and the desire to
25:38want to open my heart and, and be open to the process.
25:41Oh, that's so good to hear.
25:42Yeah.
25:43But what I am a little bit afraid of is the unexpected because I don't want to get led
25:48down the wrong road.
25:49I know, um, in these dates, it's not about physical connection because it doesn't last.
25:56Can you imagine you in your eighties?
26:00With Kevin Street.
26:02Just conversation, girl.
26:03Yeah.
26:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:05So look for someone with good conversation.
26:08Ask questions.
26:09Okay.
26:10Because then you see the red flags.
26:12If you see red flags, just go away.
26:14Yeah.
26:15Don't stay long.
26:16Do you think, though, people are always honest?
26:18I feel like even if I ask questions, they may not just tell me what I want to hear.
26:22Ah, yeah, but you can see in their actions.
26:25Yeah.
26:26Yeah, I agree.
26:27Because they contradict themselves.
26:29You have to be able to analyze.
26:31Right.
26:32Typically, when my clients go to first dates, they focus on physical connection.
26:41Mm-mm.
26:42It's not going to work.
26:44Because they get emotional because of the chemistry.
26:48And then they don't think logical anymore.
26:51So it's important Monica ask deeper questions to find out if they share goals in life, values,
26:59so that she can make good decision about her partner for life.
27:04Tomorrow is a big day, you know?
27:06Yes.
27:07You're going to have your first date.
27:09Oh, my goodness.
27:11Ah!
27:12The video you showed me really got me excited.
27:15But, I mean, Bruno is not going to be the first one.
27:20Bruno's not going to be the first one?
27:22No, no, no, no, no.
27:24I have someone else for you.
27:25Oh, interesting.
27:27Yeah.
27:28Wow.
27:29His name is Bernardo.
27:31He's 39 years old.
27:33Oh, okay.
27:34Yeah.
27:35This is a good experience for you to practice two things.
27:40Have fun and ask questions.
27:42Okay.
27:43Easy.
27:44I can do it.
27:45Easy.
27:46I'm not setting Bruno for the first date because Monica is clearly crazy about Bruno.
27:53And I want her to connect with another date so that she can compare and make a good decision.
28:01I also think Monica and Bernardo are going to hit it off.
28:04They share same values.
28:06They share same habits in terms of health.
28:09And they can be good together.
28:11Just relax.
28:13Have fun.
28:14I will.
28:15Things are changing.
28:16I think so, too.
28:17Thank you, Luisa.
28:30Okay.
28:31Am I getting a passing grade?
28:32A pass or fail.
28:33That's not what we're going for.
28:34That's not what we're going for.
28:35Well, the pass would be I get a second date.
28:36No, no, no, no, no.
28:37Not with her.
28:38Not with her.
28:39Okay, so let's get down to business.
28:52We're trying to bring out all the great things you did and also then just correct a couple
28:58things along the way.
28:59I'm glad that we did this mock date with Harold because he clearly needed it.
29:04I want Harold to understand that Singaporean women like a guy to take the initiative in
29:09the relationship.
29:10And so I'm not going to sugarcoat anything.
29:13I'm going to tell him as it is on things that he can improve because I want him to have
29:19the confidence when he goes out on dates.
29:23What are some things that you noticed that was a positive?
29:26So let's start with that.
29:27This is really good.
29:28You like this?
29:29Yeah, I really like this.
29:30And that's yours?
29:31Yeah.
29:32Do you think he gave it to you too soon?
29:36Yeah.
29:37After you have converse for a while and then you give it, that would be even better.
29:42Yeah.
29:43Okay.
29:44Hold back.
29:45Yes.
29:46Good.
29:47Good.
29:48Good.
29:49Yes.
29:50I understand.
29:51Where did you feel like you struggled?
29:52Yeah.
29:53I was like, okay.
29:54I was like, okay.
29:55I'm going to tell you.
29:56I'm going to tell you.
29:57Say something that is easy.
29:58The other thing.
29:59Conversation can be improved.
30:00We wanted you to take the lead on the date.
30:03So asking her questions, that's a good thing.
30:06But don't be afraid to delve into topics instead of just skip ahead to the next thing that
30:12you're wanting to talk about.
30:13Good.
30:14Yes.
30:15I understand.
30:16Where did you feel like you struggled?
30:21I guess I was a little stiff.
30:23Yes.
30:24I just need to relax more.
30:26Mm-hmm.
30:27Your posture has been the same since you first sat down.
30:31You've been doing this.
30:33I want you to be relaxed in your body language and sit back.
30:37Can you try that?
30:41Yes.
30:42It makes you look stronger and confident.
30:45And a girl will be observing you, so do that.
30:48I wasn't aware of that.
30:49Okay.
30:52The mock date doesn't really give me that much fear because it's a low-risk environment.
30:57But my first date, it's very stressful.
31:01All I can do now is really soak up Dolly's advice.
31:04But there's a lot on my plate, and if I don't do it right, I could have failed miserably on my first date.
31:11You're doing all these things to improve yourself, and we're helping you along this way.
31:20Cheers to our first date.
31:21Cheers.
31:22Yeah.
31:23Welcome to Ireland.
31:24Yes.
31:26This has been so beautiful.
31:27Yeah.
31:28Who's watching your fur babies right now?
31:30Um, so I live at home.
31:31I live with my parents.
31:34Oh, no, no.
31:36No, no, no.
31:38Okay.
31:39Oh, it's so beautiful.
31:40Oh, yeah.
31:41Now you can really see some of the sights.
31:42Yeah.
31:43You guys know what this is, don't you?
31:44Look.
31:45It's your dinner table.
31:46Watch out.
31:47Now, alpacas can't bite you.
31:48Okay.
31:49I didn't ask that question.
31:50Um, so they only have teeth on the bottom.
31:51So they have a hard palate up top, and if you watch while they're eating, so that little
31:56triangular thing is their nose.
31:57Oh, hello.
31:58Oh, hi.
31:59Oh, hi.
32:00Interested now.
32:01Now, and there you go.
32:02It's not your turn now.
32:03Okay.
32:04Oh, it feels weird.
32:05Oh, yes.
32:06It's like they're nearly biting what they're not biting.
32:07They're nubbing us.
32:08Yeah, yeah.
32:09Yeah.
32:10Yeah.
32:11Yeah.
32:12Yeah.
32:13Yeah.
32:14Yeah.
32:15Yeah.
32:16Yeah.
32:17Yeah.
32:18Yeah.
32:19Yeah.
32:20Yeah.
32:21Yeah.
32:22Yeah.
32:23Yeah.
32:24Yeah.
32:25Yeah.
32:26Yeah.
32:27Yeah.
32:28Yeah.
32:29Straighten up.
32:30You having fun?
32:31I'm having a ball.
32:32You too.
32:33Oh, wow.
32:34Oh, my God.
32:37The date with Amber is nice.
32:38Like, it is lovely.
32:39And apart from poor Amber being spat on, it's really cool.
32:44She just has a lovely, warm presence about her.
32:47You can tie that.
32:48They can have a bit of a grease while you have a glass of refreshments.
32:52I realize I'm getting to the age where it's kind of time settled down.
32:56Um, so yeah, if I, if I, if I meet the right person, we'll see what happens.
33:04Oh, my God.
33:05When's the last time you sat on a log?
33:06It's been a while.
33:07I like a good log sit, though.
33:08No, I like, you know, being out in nature, just sitting down and stuff.
33:11Yes.
33:12Thank you for this.
33:13This is so cute.
33:14Yeah, it's lovely, isn't it?
33:15Yeah.
33:16It's something super unique.
33:17Yeah.
33:18I'm so happy this was our first date.
33:19Yeah, yeah.
33:20It was a good one, wasn't it?
33:21Yeah.
33:22Um, yeah.
33:23I love how you have gray hair right here.
33:24Yeah.
33:25I'm going gray around the gills, as I say.
33:26It's like...
33:27Is that hereditary?
33:28Uh, my dad is very gray.
33:30Really?
33:31Yeah.
33:32He went gray pretty early.
33:33But I don't know, like, I figure if it's just at the sides or like, like a little bit in the beard.
33:37Yeah.
33:38Yeah.
33:39And see, I have one single gray hair in my eyebrow.
33:41Oh, she's trying to get your attention.
33:43Oh.
33:44Hey.
33:45How are you?
33:46Aw, that's so cute.
33:48Ah, do you have any other fur babies?
33:51Uh, I have a cat.
33:53You do?
33:54Yeah, yeah.
33:55Her name's Willow.
33:56Oh, you have cute animal names.
33:57Yeah, thanks.
33:58My cat that I had, he was 17 when he passed away.
34:00Green.
34:01His name was Henry.
34:02Aw, cute.
34:03Mm-hmm.
34:04And I've never had a dog before.
34:05Oh, so I'm obsessed with him.
34:06Yeah.
34:07Obsessed.
34:08He's so cute.
34:09Yes.
34:10And he's really friendly.
34:11He gets on well with other dogs.
34:12He does.
34:13He loves other dogs.
34:14That's cool.
34:15Poppy is just so friendly with other dogs.
34:17Oh, they would be cute little friends.
34:19Yeah, yeah.
34:20Yeah, it's a little play date.
34:22Yeah, yeah.
34:23Mm-mm-mm.
34:24So guys, since your dates are munching away there, this is something for you to enjoy now.
34:31Congratulations on walking practice.
34:32I appreciate that.
34:33Thanks very much.
34:34And well done.
34:35You were fantastic with them.
34:37Thanks to our first date.
34:38Cheers.
34:39Yeah.
34:40Welcome to Ireland.
34:41Yes.
34:43This has been so beautiful.
34:44Yeah.
34:45Mm-mm.
34:46Who's watching your fur babies right now?
34:47Um, so I live at home.
34:48I live with my parents and my sister and my grandparents.
34:50Okay.
34:51Okay.
34:52So they are being well looked after.
34:54Um, so you always have a home cooked meal.
34:59There's always an option for one meal.
35:01Oh, I'm hating on you right now.
35:03He lives with his parents.
35:04Oh, no, no.
35:05No, no, no.
35:06Inside, I'm screaming.
35:07I hope he's not a mom's boy.
35:08Because what I've noticed in the past, if they live at home, that's because their mom
35:22is still washing laundry, feeding them, and they cannot live without their mom.
35:26And I don't want him to, like, get into a relationship with me and expect the same from me.
35:31No.
35:33You tied up, baby.
35:35Let's get the girls home.
35:36Let's get them home.
35:43Do you remember that I gave you a homework?
35:45Yes.
35:46To write a wish list.
35:47He needs to be, like, compassionate, caring, a good person, preferably around six foot.
35:53I need someone that can change the light bulbs for me.
35:55So you're not looking for a partner, you're looking for an electrician.
36:00Difficult case.
36:01Got to make it work.
36:03They won't be bored.
36:18Hi!
36:20Hi!
36:21Hi!
36:22Nice to meet you.
36:23Nice to meet you.
36:24Hi!
36:25Aw, look at you.
36:26Finally you're here.
36:27Yes, I made it.
36:31You look super cozy and relaxed.
36:36I am very cozy.
36:37And you're like, finally.
36:38I'm home, yeah.
36:39Can I help you?
36:40Oh, of course, definitely.
36:41I hope to know.
36:42Okay, please follow me.
36:44I have a taxi driver outside.
36:45Oh, perfect.
36:46Yes.
36:47I'm in Ireland.
36:48I can't believe after months and months of planning, I'm finally here talking to Katerina face-to-face.
36:52I'm excited for what she has in store for me, but I know she really wants me to put myself out there and really be vulnerable and be open, which isn't going to be easy for me, but I know it's what's going to be best for me.
37:05You look very casual.
37:07I am.
37:08I always feel that it's very comfy to fly.
37:10Okay.
37:11But what if you meet the love of your life on a plane?
37:13It has to like me like this, too.
37:14Yeah.
37:15Yeah.
37:16So, I mean, I better get used to this.
37:17Okay.
37:18You prefer them to see you as you are, right?
37:20Yeah.
37:21Okay.
37:22Yeah, exactly.
37:23I understand that when you take such a long flight, you do want to be comfortable, but we Europeans often get dressed to travel.
37:34And the way she dresses shows that she doesn't really want to be seen, that she doesn't want to be noticed by anyone.
37:45So, I hope she has some decent date clothes.
37:48I want to inspire her to be more approachable and open to love.
37:56I am so curious and excited seeing you dating.
38:00Yeah.
38:01Irish male are pretty wanted around the world MSA.
38:05I have a very international clientele, and generally speaking, women like Irish men.
38:10Mm-hmm.
38:11Because they have big hearts, and they're just authentic, genuine, nice people.
38:15Yeah, exactly.
38:17Do you remember that I gave you a homework?
38:19Yes.
38:20To write a wish list for the specific qualities in men that you want to find?
38:24Mm-hmm.
38:25Did you do that?
38:26I did.
38:27I wrote my list.
38:28I told my friends about it.
38:29I got some feedback.
38:30I brought it with me.
38:31Did you need to get help of your friends to put together your wish list?
38:34No, but I just want...
38:35I didn't need their help, but I just wanted their, I guess, like, confirmation that it was good.
38:42Just, like, their feedback.
38:44And if your friends said, no, no, no, Victoria, these are not your wishes.
38:49This is not how we know you.
38:51Would you change your wish list?
38:56No, but I'd want to ask them why they wouldn't say that's me.
38:59Mm-hmm.
39:00And, like, see what the reasoning was, because then maybe they see something that I don't see.
39:03Okay.
39:04Fair enough.
39:05So what's on the wish list?
39:06Tell me.
39:07He needs to be, like, compassionate, caring, a good person, recycles, preferably has hair, preferably around six foot.
39:18Mm-hmm.
39:19So you would say that the chemistry just disappears when the person is short?
39:24And someone that can change the light bulbs for me.
39:26So you're not looking for a partner, you're looking for an electrician.
39:30Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
39:31Aye.
39:33Difficult case.
39:34I know.
39:35Well, gotta make you work.
39:36I won't be bored.
39:37Exactly, exactly.
39:39If Victoria needs help from her friends with her wish list, it tells me about her that she doesn't think for herself.
39:51I am definitely rethinking my match selections for her, because I don't know who this person is.
40:00So I need to take time to really get to know her, and only then I can match her with some suitable matches.
40:10Here we are.
40:12Careful.
40:13It's not so easy to get out of this car.
40:19Good.
40:21It was great meeting you.
40:22It was so good meeting you.
40:23Yes.
40:24Take care.
40:25Take care.
40:26Have a good sleep, have a good rest, and I'll see you in the office.
40:28Yes.
40:29Ciao.
40:30Bye.
40:31Bye.
40:36I don't think it's fair that Kennerita is judging me that I asked for my friend's advice with my homework assignment.
40:42I mean, I feel like they know me best, so it makes sense to me.
40:46I mean, I was expecting her to be, like, a tough, like, no-nonsense, but, I mean, I don't know if I was expecting it to be, like, this hard so soon, so fast.
40:55Oh, not that way.
40:56Are gonna get me lost.
40:59She's harsh, like, cold, almost.
41:02And I feel like it's gonna be, like, tough working with Katerina.
41:06Like, does she understand what I'm looking for in a guy?
41:08I really just don't know, and I feel like I don't want to just be, like, wasting my time, like, going out on dates with, like, all these random guys that I know I'm not interested in.
41:18I guess I'll check out the bathroom.
41:22Okay, no light in there.
41:23Is it one of these, maybe?
41:29Okay, okay.
41:30Okay.
41:31Have you ever played for two?
41:34No?
41:35I didn't even know about it.
41:36Oh, okay.
41:37I didn't know.
41:38It's like a volley without hand.
41:39All right.
41:40Let's warm up.
41:41Let's do it.
41:43Next time on Match Me Abroad.
41:45I didn't know Bernardo was gonna have friends with him.
41:48And I also didn't know they were all simultaneously gonna take their shirts off.
41:51They are all extremely attractive.
41:54And so it's very hard to disregard chemistry.
41:57Whoa, you're not thinking about it.
41:58You got nothing on me?
42:00Oh, we gotta quit.
42:05Is this a bag of treats for you to feed the cats?
42:08I'm a little afraid to feed them by hand.
42:10I had a friend who would reach down and feed them.
42:12And the cat bit at their finger and it had nerve damage.
42:16I'm nervous because for my first date,
42:18it's very important that I apply what Dolly has taught me on my mock date.
42:23So I'm still really hoping that this date is going to be perfect.
42:27I think I like feeding ducks more.
42:29You can just kind of throw it and go get it.
42:35And tell me all about it.
42:36I can't wait to hear it.
42:37We had a good time.
42:39But what I will say is, I did not know that he still lived at home.
42:43Yes.
42:44Like I haven't dated a guy that lives at home in a very long time, Catarina.
42:47Mm-hmm.
42:48I want a man that is financially stable.
42:50And I don't want to compromise and settle for anything less.
42:55I hate to say the B word.
42:57What is that?
42:58Broke.
43:02We're just gonna give these oysters a quick wash stab.
43:05Whoa!
43:06Whoa!
43:08Let's go, baby!
43:09Ah!
43:10Oh, my God.
43:12Who is this guy?
43:13Like, what is he doing?
43:16Mm.
43:18We're too hot.
43:19That green was spicy.
43:20Speaking of spice, let's put some in my eye.
43:23You okay?
43:24Ah!
43:25Ah!
43:26Ah!
43:27You okay?
43:28Ah!
43:29Ah!
43:30Ah!
43:31Ah!
43:36Oh!
43:37Ah!
43:40Ah!
