00:00Thursday night, it was the experiment with Chloe Bores on channel 4.
00:05Yeah, Chloe's on mother hands, if I'm telling you.
00:10Vanessa, how does it feel to embrace another person in a culture that's so last touch?
00:21I'm Chloe Bores, and as a single girlie in my 20s, I know all too well how brutal the world of dating can be.
00:30For the past decade, many other platforms have ruled romance with as promising to find us the perfect partner.
00:39What about that one? Yeah.
00:42But research from Ofcom suggests we're now ditching the tech in favor of putting ourselves out there as events across the country designed for me to light my mind.
00:50To meet like-minded people.
00:52I go onto the app and I'm like, no, get it on my phone, I can't do it anymore.
00:57To investigate why we're saying goodbye, we surveyed over 10,000 singles about their dating habits.
01:04Asking if it helps to affect our mental health.
01:06We will. That's affecting mental health.
01:10Burnout because of the endless scrolls.
01:12And what the future of virtual love could hold.
01:15Welcome to this date night, and I hope you enjoy your own day.
01:18Why are you laughing?
01:20I'm putting myself on the front line.
01:23Oh, boy.
01:24She didn't bloody street me.
01:26I'm going on a bunch of dates, IRL.
01:29Yay.
01:30I'm speed dating.
01:31I can't actually slide dates.
01:33Not what I worked for actually.
01:35To Tantra.
01:36So I can't go on more dates on TV show.
01:39Why not?
01:40I am, yeah.
01:42I am, yeah.
01:43Me too.
01:44Yeah.
01:45And ask, are dating apps really done?
01:48I'm too.
01:50The dating app industry is big business.
01:55Last year, it raised in over $6 billion globally.
01:59Using big...
02:00When we have a survey about dating online versus IRL, we found that 50% of people said they would prefer to meet a partner.
02:11social events.
02:12No.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Yeah, I'm more likely.
02:16Yeah, I do.
02:17What do you think, then?
02:20I've got my ass.
02:21I've got my ass.
02:22I've got my love on these streets.
02:23I'm going to need some help.
02:24So I've called you an expert.
02:25So I've called you an expert.
02:26I feel like since I've got a few followers, it's been on TV and it's not fair.
02:29I find it even harder to kind of connect.
02:33Like quite seriously with people because I feel like I have to look back to what people think of me.
02:40So I'm like loud gregarious out there and it's beside you when it's, you know, an opportunity that's waiting for work.
02:46But behind kind of things like, I don't talk about my feelings.
02:47I find it really uncomfortable.
02:48I feel like I have to look back to what people think of me.
02:49So I'm like loud gregarious out there and it's beside you when it's, you know, an opportunity that's waiting for work.
03:02But behind kind of things like, I don't talk about my feelings.
03:06I find it really uncomfortable.
03:07It's the one who's ironing for God's sake.
03:09So any confidence, anything I can get them today, I will have to be able to.
03:21Abby has been a dating coach since 2009.
03:24Abby's been a dating coach since 2009.
03:27I'm like dating.
03:28Follow.
03:31Fly my ass.
03:41I'm talking to dating my ass.
03:50I'm afraid.
03:57into like fitness, might not be this type of fitness, I'm just thinking like bouldering
04:02or something, something you could get into where guys would be there, I'm not saying
04:07you could be there, it's not only just right now, but I'm not ready, I might be.
04:12People are terrified of like approaching people in the street, like I would be scared of rejection.
04:17Scared of rejection, I'm sure, scared of rejection on Mother Island.
04:21Right.
04:22I was thinking today that we could maybe approach it just to see.
04:26Like how will it go?
04:28How will it go?
04:30I have no idea.
04:38I'm coming.
04:40It looks like street man.
04:44And that's interesting.
04:47Okay.
04:49It's like street man, I love getting it.
05:05I love getting it.
05:07I love getting it.
05:09Body longings.
05:11The dog has cross.
05:12And you can't be taking up the space to be a little bit more, maybe moving around a little
05:16more, a bit more playful.
05:18You know I want to see this version of you in the next instruction.
05:21If possible.
05:22Right I want my marriage.
05:23I don't work for Little Public.
05:25What about that guy?
05:27Yes, this is Delen.
05:28Sorry, hi guys.
05:29What, guys?
05:59I think I've got street mates all over again.
06:24No.
06:29Yeah.
06:51Weird.
06:53While I've been doing that, it's like what I took from it, just like the complimenting, breaking the eyes, that is really a place to go.
07:00You're not trying to date someone, it's like a experiment.
07:02It just gave me a bit of a confidence, bitch.
07:04With my new tips from Abby, I feel like an unstoppable dating machine.
