0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Novel.

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>This show contains adult material and swearing. You have been warned.

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I feel so bad for him, Like,

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 3>I know, such a sad story.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, I quite respect your on dates people going

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>that deep.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>He gets extra brainy points in his random because that

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 3>was awful. That's like nightmare of stuff.

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm a savage. Are you bored of modern dating?

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Meeting the same people from the same apps in the

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>same bar You've only chosen because it's close to your

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.480
<v Speaker 1>house and you can make your usual quick getaway. It's

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>time to change the narrative on how we find love.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>It's time to start looking for love in all the

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong places. I'm going on a wild dating adventure, only

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>picking people who are the total opposite of my type.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And after twenty eight of these dates in two months.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Will I find that special someone?

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Or well, this experiment proved that I should just give

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>up on dating altogether.

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 2>It's time to find out.

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm Grace Campbell and this is twenty eight dates later.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Hi rods.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Grace, I'm excited about today's date. Did he energize

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 3>you at all? Because this guy sitting into DMS this.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Rose is the modern day meet you it's the modern

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:40.279
<v Speaker 1>day bumping into someone in a corridor. Yeah, now, listen,

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, Like, I've had a lot

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>of men, not to brag, like, slide into my DMS,

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>which is an art form. By the way, I've actually

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>dated a few guys with into my DMS and it's gone.

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>One of the worst relationships I've had began from somebody

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>sliding into my DMS. So it's given me a bit

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>of trauma, right, And I worry about men who's sideing

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to my DMS because I feel that they have a

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of warped idea of what is going to be

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>like going on a date with me, and then it

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>just gets a bit confused. So I was a bit

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>worried about this, if I'm going to be honest.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 3>So I actually before we started this, I was like,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, a guy's sitting into a DMS like

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 3>this is how so many of my relationships happened. But

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>then no one you're saying that, I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 3>mine didn't last either, Yeah, so maybe that isn't a

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 3>good thing.

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>The one thing I'll say, right, and this is what

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I have realized, is that men who like slide into

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>your dms. They are doing that with so many women,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Like it's not just you that they're doing that with.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a tactic that they're not all of them, right.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>But one guy I dated who's sitting into my DMS

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I then later realized that literally, and I only realized

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>this from looking at who else he was following on

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>Instagram every week when we were dating. Is he would

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>always be following your girls and always be stiding into

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>their dms. So I think it's it's a bit of

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a some men, it's you know, it's their form of

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>being a player, and that's what it bit gets my

0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>back up. But i'd actually met this guy before, we'd

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>met on the Canal and Hackney on like a really

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>sunny day last year, and then he followed me on

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Instagram and never messaged me, and then messaged me like

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>seven months later being like do you want to go

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>for a drink?

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 3>And like, Grace, you know that you're saying, low's a

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 3>guy signing two dms. Has anyone famous ever slid into dms?

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>No, And I will say way less people slided into

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>my dms now. It used it was like it was

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>like a year ago.

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>That's because they don't want to be part of your

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 3>comedy show. No, I think it is that.

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there was a really peak moment for me

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>when no one really famous. A few comedians have slidden

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to my dms, like sort of mildly known comedians.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 3>But you know, ck, you look really.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Nice to like. And also you did have like eight

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 4>people here trying to get you ready, which I thought

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 4>was a bit weird.

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so if you if you had to be played

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>in the movie where anyone who would have been joy?

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's really true.

0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yeah, that's really true. True, that's really true.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Actually, when I met him last summer, I hadn't quite

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>recalled how posh she was, Like he was really posh,

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>which it wasn't an it at all, because he was.

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>He had good chat, but his voice was quite posh.

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 3>I like his accent.

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 2>No, he's posh. But he was good looking.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>He looked he did look like Joseph Gordon Levitt, like

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 1>that is actually what he looks like.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually googling him right now because I can't.

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>He was in Ten Things I Hate About You Love Him?

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, did he look like him?

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>He looked like him.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's one of those actors that like, I

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 3>love him in movies and afterwards I'm like, I'm in

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>love with him.

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>No, I know, because he's so cute, he's so nice,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>he's so nice.

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Great.

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I actually think your accent is pastial than his. It's

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 3>definitely noting from all your Irish listeners right now, and

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 3>they're like, I know, because that's the thing, but I

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 3>don't actually for someone from London like I'm posh, definitely,

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 3>but I don't have like he spoke like that.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 2>It's more of a sort of BBC accent.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, expecting when the clip I was expecting like the

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Crown right, No he doesn't. Okay, well you know what

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't on a date with King Charles. Can I

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 3>just say instantly I like him?

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>He was good vibes, He was good vibes. We actually

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>had fun, like it was a really fun date.

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:23.119
<v Speaker 2>He had great chat.

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>He sat down and the first thing he said was

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you look amazing, and I was like, that's so funny

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's like you're trying really hard. Yeah, that's nice

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to Also, he follows me on Instagram.

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Obviously.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>On my Instagram, I do all these things where I

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about things that give people the it and get

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 1>people's like some bit their things. And he said that

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>he'd like thought about coming and basically encompassing like all

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest ins. So he was like he wanted

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to come and like wear all different things that he

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, I didn't want to put you off. So

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>now I'm trying to be like the opposite of a nick.

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's also you know, a lot is to go

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 4>on a date with a girl, but beforehand, so you know,

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 4>she puts like fifty it's up and you're walking through

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 4>a mind for on the date, making sure you don't

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 4>mention all the stupid shit she's the night before also

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 4>was thinking about compiling like seven of them and just

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 4>wearing whatever. Yeah, that would have been really drink at

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 4>the bar and at one point come on to people like,

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 4>oh my god, I can't leave you're hair. I just

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 4>to say thank you so much. Saved my life, your massive,

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 4>massive dick. You're the best person. If I thought best lot.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 3>You know what, that's kind of night.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>He seemed a bit nervous.

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I actually think that that shows that he's able

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 3>to make fun of himself, that he follows you that

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 3>he was going to make fun of your whole acting,

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 3>but then was like, Okay, she might actually think I'm

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 3>being serious.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>And yeah.

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>It's like, if I was going on a date with someone,

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 3>I would stop them on social media, Like how much

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 3>research do you usually do on guys before?

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>If I can find their social media, then I will

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>stalk them heavily. But sometimes when you match someone on

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a dating app, you don't have their social media before

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you meet them, and I don't really want to ask

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>because my fear is if I stalk someone too much

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>before I meet them and they give me the egg,

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>then I'm not going to go on the date.

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.239
<v Speaker 2>That's happened to me in the past.

0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>What's the deepest dive you've done?

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I would just go really really far back on

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the instagrams.

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 3>You wouldn't check out like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Like you

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 3>learn a lot for someone's Twitter.

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I just don't ever think to do that because I

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>forget that, like people have LinkedIn because I don't have

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>a job.

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 3>And like you know, if you've ever done a deep

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 3>dive or you follow them on social media, as you said,

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 3>you've gone back really far on Instagram, Like on a date,

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 3>will you let them know or like will you be

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 3>like a surprise and they tell you that they have

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 3>a dog named Daisy.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if if we followed each other on

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Instagram already, then I'd be like, oh, yeah, I saw

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>your dog on Instagram. But if we haven't, then I

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>probably would not.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Say to be honest, yeah yeah yeah.

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 3>And you know one thing I've never seen on your

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 3>profile what so like anytime you've been in a relationship,

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 3>you've come out of a relationship, gone into one, you

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 3>never really posted it on social media, Like you never

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 3>make it into official or anythink.

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>No I would.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I would ever post my boyfriend on

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the internet and my partner.

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Does it give you the ick?

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>It just feels a bit like intense, And I feel

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like I would post it maybe on my like close

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>friends or on like a personal Instagram, But it just

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>feels intense, like all these people who follow me I

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>who don't know me, like knowing about my relationship.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Like I just don't like that idea. Wow, I feel

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 2>like you're quite like private about your relationship.

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I am, Yeah, but like before, like I would have

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 3>posted about boyfriends. Yeah, And I kind of learned the

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 3>hard way that like then you're giving people.

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>A right to have an opinion one, and then once

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>you have that, it's almost like it's not your relationship.

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 3>When break up you're going through a breakup, you're also

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 3>going through like everybody knowing.

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And having theories about it and deciding like I just been.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Boring breakup, nothing geese happened, Okay.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I know, and they're making up all of these Honestly,

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it with so many people that go through

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like public breakups, and it's just like I would just

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>rather not.

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 3>So how long have you been single?

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>For?

0:08:54.880 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 4>About twenty six years now? Really, I've had a lot

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 4>of fun with a lot of girls. Neverbody found one

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 4>that I really want to settle down with, like yet

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 4>may have already met her. Not too sure. You are

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 4>really funny, really really funny. But no, Yeah, I mean

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 4>I had rationships in school and at sixth form. But

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 4>I say, since I have sixth form, yeah, only like

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 4>long term buddies.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Sewhere Yeah of course yeah buddies right? Okay, But is

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>that is that because?

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Is that because like is it just a mutual thing

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 1>or if you have girls like wanting it to be more?

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 4>No, I've had a lot of girls told me to

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 4>love me.

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I'm at an age now where whoever I

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>get with NEX is going to have a significant X.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 3>They're going to be divorced.

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 2>No, I know exactly.

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, but even I've got like a significant X,

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's like there's no purity like anymore when you

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>meet someone, they've always got someone else that's going to

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>be like a bit of a soft spot in your relationship.

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's nice, but it's funny when men are.

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Like, yeah, I've had so many girls like really wanting

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>to be serious with me, and I'm just like, nope,

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>not found the one.

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 2>That's when I'm not a grow up.

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it does give that kind of complex that he's

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 3>just like everything's revolving around him, like nothing's wrong with him.

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 3>It's everyone else.

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But also it sounds like not necessarily him. But you know,

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>when people are like that, it's a bit like, Okay, well,

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>why are you misleading so many people into thinking you're

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be in a relationship with them?

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, great, Sorry, I do think we're sending We're actually

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 3>saying like he forgets because you're going on twenty eight

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 3>days to find the one. So it's like yeah.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 1>So there was this weird moment, right, I brought Eddie

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>my dog on the day, and he just wasn't really

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>acknowledging her or looking at her, and so I called

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>him out for it.

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you liked that.

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't like dogs. I don't do oh, I don't

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 4>like dogs, know, are you joking? I had a bit

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 4>there was a whole thing when I was younger, we

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 4>had a dog and it all went went it's up

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 4>potentially I I left a washing basket on the hob

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 4>and the house went up and the dog was in

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 4>the house just like that was bad. I got back,

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 4>I saw that there was like smoke coming for the window,

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 4>so like ran inside like whole places of fire, like

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 4>grabbed grabbed him like right out of the door, like

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 4>passed out fire fire and grabbed me. Took me to

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 4>the hospital. Obviously dog was long dead. So since then,

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 4>never been a fan. But you that's a reasonable reason

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 4>to not like.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's also it's not that you're not a fan.

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:44.599
<v Speaker 2>It's not normatized.

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's just not saying like

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 4>when I look at when I look at your dogs.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 3>And laugh, whoa, oh my god, number one. Can I

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 3>just say that's such a like he's no, look, I'm

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 3>not a psychologist, but like he definitely has allowed it

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.679
<v Speaker 3>like that. That's like a very traumatic thing to go through.

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>That's so traumatic. Can you imagine killing your family dog?

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? And also I know he's like, oh I look

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 3>at dogs, and I'm like, oh no. But it's like

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 3>if you had a really bad experience with men, you

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 3>might be like, oh, I never want a date. I

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 3>don't want to like, do you get me?

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's definitely not because actually, after a while

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>spending time with him, we actually hung out for like

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the whole evening. Yeah, he actually liked the dog and

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>then was like cuddling the dog at the end. But

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I think just had, like you said, been so traumatized

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>by this experience that he couldn't even look at dogs

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>because he would be reminded of it.

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god. You kind of want to give him

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 3>a hug, don't you.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, And I felt like that's such

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 1>a sad story.

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, wow, such a sad story.

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I quite respect you on dates people going

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that deep and like telling stories like that. I sort

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of appreciated it because I was like, oh, you're not

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.839
<v Speaker 1>just giving me surface level stuff, do you know what

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean?

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 3>No? And it gives context because if he just turned

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.199
<v Speaker 3>around into and said no, I'm just not into them,

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 3>you'd be like, Okay, that's a bit of a red flag.

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 3>But now these given context, you're actually like, I can

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 3>understand why you're not cuddling my dog right now. I

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 3>feel so bad for him. He gets extra band points

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 3>in this round because that is awful.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 4>So is this whole podcast dates to try and maybe

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 4>get your limit better flirting?

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not because I've never had any desire to

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>be going to flying.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 4>That's good. Everyone wants they can't help.

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.719
<v Speaker 3>Do not like flying? No, I think I think it's

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 3>so it's.

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I hate small tool nice absolutely.

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 4>I think the best flirting is when like it doesn't

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 4>the girl doesn't think it's flirting.

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, you don't.

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 4>You don't, you don't acknowledge it's flirting. It's just a

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 4>subtle I think it's more about like small body language

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 4>and grace. Please put your top back on. Okay, I

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 4>to hear that's really appropriate.

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 3>You know what I've never thought about, like what is

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 3>flourishing before but like he said it right there, it

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.599
<v Speaker 3>kind of is like half what you say, but your body.

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Language it is. And that's why a lot of flirting

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 2>is eye contact.

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm really bad at flirting because I think my

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 3>style of flirting is like almost ripping the piss out

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 3>of people. And I also find it really awkward to

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 3>keep eye contact. So I say, people go away, and

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 3>they go, she's a fucking bitch, she hates me, and

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 3>I like them.

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is.

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>It's so much about your physical language, like I think,

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>because I could say something that's not flirty, but then

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>if I said it in a certain tone and look

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to you in a certain way, it would be obvious

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that I'm flirting with you.

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 3>And also like you know, putting your hand on their

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 3>shoulder kind of like laughing and like making contact with

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 3>them while you're talking. That is, Yeah, that's flirting, to

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 3>be honest.

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>My main tip for flirting on a day if it's

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>just like all about how you look at them, Like

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like when I'm on a day and

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I like want to get with the person and like

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm attracted to them, I would just make a very

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>specific type of eye contact to them, which is like,

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to have sex with you with my eyes.

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>So I have a question, though, have you ever been

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 3>around someone that they're so good looking and you like

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 3>them so much that you can flir properly?

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>When I was younger, definitely.

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 3>It hasn't happened since you were in I don't.

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, yeah, yeah, when I was in my early twenties,

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Like, I went on a date with a guy like

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>not long ago, and he was so fair, and I

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>remember being like, oh my god, like I was obviously

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>him and I was like, oh my god, like I

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>actually can't believe I'm oppositely someone this hot.

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>But I was still capable of flying. But I was like,

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I kept.

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Being like sort of checking to see if he was blind,

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>think holding off? Wait can you see that flying into

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>your face? So we were deciding what to have next

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to drink, and while I was getting up to go

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and get them, he left a little note on the recording.

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 4>So Grace is at the bar. So I thought, I

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 4>take this time to just deeply from the it's going

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 4>pretty well. She's great, and she has come back.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna shot, Oh, he's so cute.

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 3>He's very cute. I like him.

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 2>That's really cute.

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and like you know what, obviously we've we've run

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 3>through like him and there hasn't really been any red

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 3>flags ranting that you.

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Know there was. There was nothing that bothered me. No,

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 2>not even the dead dog. That wasn't his fault.

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 3>He just seems like super honest, really nice. Obviously. I

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 3>know you said the accent was a bit whatever, but

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 3>like Grace, it's not a big deal in fairness if

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 3>coming over from Ireland, like that's a bit. That's an

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 3>attractive accent, you know.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 3>It's h m it is Hugh Grant.

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're doing on Saturday night.

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Why ask me out?

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 4>No, there's a there's for this event on Saturday.

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm around, I've got a gig at five.

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Where's the gig?

0:16:59.400 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 4>Really?

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Really, Grace, Grace, I know my mum says I have

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 2>a real issue. I yawn all the time. It's a

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 2>nerve thing. I yawn when I'm like.

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Nerv Even talking about yawning though, it makes me want

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 3>toy on, like hearing you y on.

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 1>So before a gig, I yawn like unbelievable amounts I

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>have to even on on dates date, so you're quite

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot because but it's not because I'm tired, it's

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 1>because I'm anxious.

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 2>It's really weird. It's it's just a nerve thing.

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you ever yawn in the middle of a gig.

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I never yearned when I'm on stage because I'm

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>being like pumped with adrenaline beforehand.

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I will yawn so much.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Grace, that's just your tactic for putting him back in

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 3>the box. You didn't want to boli him after the dogs,

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 3>he said, I'll just give a little yawn just so

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't.

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Get to know. It's more that it's more a nerve thing.

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think I did say that it's not you,

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 1>it's it's me being nervous. But yeah, the event he

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>was throwing was a rave on that Saturday, and I

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't end up going because I'm not really in my

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>raving era at the moment.

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 3>You know what, though, it was going so well until

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 3>the rave, so.

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, you were like, you're gonna get married.

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 3>And then oh, oh my god, I'm like, I really

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 3>like him. I actually think he just seems like such

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 3>a nice guy. But the fact that he's twenty six

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.920
<v Speaker 3>and he's still into raving questionable.

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was throwing a rave. He was throwing a

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 1>rage questionable. So I didn't go to the rave, and

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>he did message me that day saying are you coming

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>to the rave?

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, no, I'm really sorry.

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not coming because I haven't got a dog sitter,

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>because I'm an adult with a dog.

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I.

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Would see him again.

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I actually think he should see him again.

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 2>And I think as well.

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Like one of the things that I liked about this

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>scenario is that it wasn't like from a dating app.

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 1>It was like a bit more organic where we'd already

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>met and then he'd messaged me on Instagram. I prefer

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>situations like that because as already we've already gotten over

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the sort of like weird shit. And I respect people

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>for siding into my dms. It used to happen so

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:55.440
<v Speaker 1>much more, and it happens way less now, I think,

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 1>because maybe I'm a bit more intimidating than I used

0:18:59.160 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to be.

0:18:59.280 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 4>It.

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 2>But I used to get so many men's signing into

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 2>my dms.

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Can I just say, and this is something I didn't

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 3>mention the start. He clearly has been talking about you

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 3>for the last year to his friends, his family, his

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 3>cousin's being like this girl Grace I met, I really

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:13.879
<v Speaker 3>like her. He's clearly had eyes with you, which is

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 3>actually kind of like I just think that's that's really

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 3>like adhering about him.

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's cute. Good for him.

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.120
<v Speaker 3>You have been her best so far. Congratulations you win

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 3>nothing but possibly a second date.

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Because you went absolutely nothing.

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you'll maybe you'll meet me again if I'm feeling generous.

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Next time. On twenty eight dates later, I can't go

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 2>out of someone who is badly dressed.

0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, fucking non branded trainers, ill fitting jeans, a fucking

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.760

<v Speaker 1>what I'm wearing right now.

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:52.760
