Anyone watched it? Dd 7 has ASD, I found Alex really lovely, and really pleased his date with Eloise is going well.

I'm about to watch it as it was on the same time as broadchurch last night , the last couple of series have been really good, I have 2 dd's on the spectrum, would like to think there's someone out there for them when they are older ( if they want someone ).

That guy is bringing out his measuring tape on a date , I think that would be a dealbreaker tbh

But he was not said to have any problems, other than a stammer did he? Or did I miss that bit? His 16" width across her shoulders requirement seemed a little unusual otherwise. I thought they were all really likeable though.

No he just had the stammer, tgat woukd put me off tbh, but he was obviously nice in other ways as she really liked him.

I think Mathew is a bit fussy and expecting too much in a woman, he has high hopes, using a tape measure will get him nowhere.

marne2 · 06/01/2015 21:12

Though he does have one thing going for him

Oh god marne his schlong , his dare was a success though, tgey are a couple now, so she must have seen past his tape measure.

I thought Daniella was absolutely lovely and someone I'd def like to know as a friend. I hope she meets someone who makes her happy.

Alex was pretty cool too.

Yes she was really lovely, and attractive, I am glad her date went well, they were all great. Mathew put your tape measure away!

velouria · 06/01/2015 21:37

I did wonder at one point if the strict 16" across the shoulders thing was because he was measuring her for some kind of box or something . He seemed sweet though and loved the other two.

judydoes · 06/01/2015 22:18

I actually want to measure my shoulders now.

WinterShivers · 06/01/2015 22:25

So glad that there's a new series, I enjoyed the last one. Matthew was my favourite in last nights episode, I just can't believe he bought the tape measure with him on the date. Judyrose I actually had to measure mine after I watched it last night, Matthew would have been so disappointed if it was me he had taken on the date I love these type of programs it just shows that anyone can find love.

I measured mine too, 15" oh drat

OP posts:

marne2 · 07/01/2015 09:34

I wouldn't have measured up either ( too small ), I'm wondering if she has gotten the tape measure out on him? Though I'm guessing he knows all of his measurements .

Loved Alex, mainly because he is similar to my dd's ( in some ways, not all ), I'm glad his date went well, they seemed very well suited, I loved their senses of humour, my dd1 has a very odd sense of humour and she will need to meet someone similar that will understand it.

getdownshep · 07/01/2015 13:24

Loved Alex, he reminded me of Guy Martin

Marne I wonder what his measurements are

OP posts:

butterflymacqueen · 07/01/2015 20:51

marne2 I know. I was horrified. I would RUN if I saw that- like a donkey surely

Mrsjayy · 07/01/2015 21:26

Oh I didn't see this the other day I really loved Alex and Eloise was willing them on.mathew and his man bits jeez was ginormous id run a mile from it. The undateables divide people but I really like it it is sensitive for a ch4 programme.

Southeastdweller · 08/01/2015 08:00

I got the feeling there was no chemistry between Daniella and her date but now she's started dating I can't imagine she'll be single for long.

I was also thinking it was weird of Matthew bringing a tape measure on a date and wanting to measure you. But a lovely guy anyway.

Mrsjayy · 08/01/2015 08:07

No there was nothing there but least Danniele has started dating lovely woman but she needs to not talking about her dogs outfits

Aeroflotgirl · 08/01/2015 08:08

No, MrsJ, she might have been nervous though and not know what to say. The right person, will just feel right and you won't feel like that, it will just flow imho.

OP posts:

Mrsjayy · 08/01/2015 08:18

Yeah it will she seemed to get on ok with the guy though.

Aeroflotgirl · 08/01/2015 08:58

Yes I know, it must be nerve wracking if you have never dated before, or haven't dated in a while. Danielle is very attractive.

OP posts:

FreakinScaryCaaw · 08/01/2015 16:36

Aww I loved Alex.

I work with adults with learning disabilities, mostly with autism. I think the show is sensitive although have never liked the title.

Coumarin · 08/01/2015 20:38

Really liked Daniella, I'd love a friend like her. Didn't like the guy they picked for her, he might've been into similar things but he had no life in him. I'd have talked about onesies too just to fill the dull gap. Really hope she finds the perfect man.

Alex and Eloise were lovely. Matt's measuring was unusual but she obviously wasn't put off! Excellent matchmaking skills by his agency.

And yes, blimey.
