What did you make of him? I saw the video in my newsfeed with loads of “true love exists” comments.

He was so creepy I couldn't watch.

Hurrah! Not just me that thought he was odd! I think what we saw was an absolute MASTER at work.

He seemed very sympathetic and understanding about her cat. They got on alright.

I saw It a couple of weeks ago and came on mn to find a discussion about him but there was nadda! yeah there was something really weird about him and she was so vulnerable I really hope he is not going to treat her badly but it seemed very odd to me

He talked to her like he was a therapist and then really cranked it up when she seemed even more vulnerable. Properly doing some moves on her.

I watched that too . I think she was bamboozled by him. I thought he was so weird and full on, the way he kissed her like it was true love after a an hour or so. But then at the end they’d met up and seemed happy I thought maybe I’m being negative.

Lovebombing like a pink dambuster. I hope she’s ok. My spider senses were burning.

I also thought he was a massive creep. She seemed so vulnerable, but from her back story she seems very easily swept away by romance. I hope he doesn’t break her heart... she just wanted to be loved by someone.

KwaziisEyepatch · 13/02/2018 22:32

That bit where he kissed her under the blanket afterwards. I was hiding behind my hands it was so awful to watch. Just creepy creepy creepy. Poor woman.

MsHarry · 13/02/2018 22:33

Oh yeah the holiday romance that went wrong. They seemed unlikely to be a success at first. She looked very conservative and he was so flamboyant. Would like an update.

What were they called? I can’t find the clip now!Sad

No idea on names.

TatianaLarina · 13/02/2018 22:39

Oh yes I did. It was very odd.

TatianaLarina · 13/02/2018 22:41

They were still together in the update at the end.

dirtybadger · 13/02/2018 22:45

So creepy! Very slick mover. Hope that my judgment is/was wrong.
She seemed absolutely lovely :(

MsHarry · 13/02/2018 22:47

Vanessa and Julian! Just googled and they were still together 4 months later.

A580Hojas · 13/02/2018 22:50

I was astonished that that was being touted as a First Dates success. It was on the first episode of the current First Dates Hotel series.

To me it made for horrifying viewing. I'm hoping against hope that it will be happily ever after but I was mad as hell at her for not being a bit more savvy and falling for his creepy as fuck romancing. Actually, scrap what I said, what I really hope is that she has wised up and moved on.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/02/2018 22:51

I was the only one in my office who thought he was a creepy fucker, preying on the vulnerable. Everyone else thought he was charming.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/02/2018 22:53

Didn't he start sucking her nose when they were lying on the Sun beds after? 😳😳

LunchBoxPolice · 13/02/2018 22:53

I felt like there was something a bit off about him. He reminded me of my abusive exh in many ways.

I thought he was properly sinister. I reckon he will try and move things on very quickly and then push her boundaries. The poor woman.
