36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,040

00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: talk to talk, but when you meet somebody, or the

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: amount of power crash got in my life, the amount

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 4: of times like people have organized meet and then just disappeared.

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,480

Speaker 2: Tell us about while you went to Melbourne.

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: Yes, I met this boy at my best friend's wedding

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: and then moved to Melbourne a month later. Obviously it

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: didn't work out and I got stuck there for the

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: two year Melbourne lockdown. Oh I've just made my way

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: back to Sidney at the beginning of this year.

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: Oh so how lonely you went there not knowing anyone

58
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: because you loved him and that broke up and you're

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: stuck there.

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah it was pretty rough, but I did get my

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: dog out of it, so I wouldn't change it up

62
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: for the world. He's my best friend.

63
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Oh we got a dog, That's that's something.

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 4: But we wanted and I got and I got a

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: business class holiday to South America and around like the

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: Galapagus and stuff.

67
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: Well before you broke up.

68
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that was like the tipping points

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 4: the holiday. You know they say it either makes or

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: break it.

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

72
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 4: I was stuck living together for like six months while

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: we were broken up.

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 2: So what are you looking for in a guy?

75
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: A unicorn? Apparently?

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: Tell me what you mean by that? That someone who's

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: very unlikely and probably impossible.

78
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. I'm looking for somebody that's like fun, outgoing, adventurous.

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: I would love somebody that is like funny, easy to

80
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: talk to. I tend to always gravitate towards a really shy,

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: quiet reserve, whereas I'm like the complete opposite. But it'd

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: be nice to have somebody that actually has some banter with.

83
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: So why do you go towards the shy, quiet people, Laura, I.

84
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: Don't know, maybe like this the whole like blue Steel.

Speaker 1: need someone that bit of a character.

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but then I also need to be like
