The "spy" bloke is very strange and seems a tightwad.

I thought he was nice enough but he definitely put his foot in it! I felt that given some more time they might have got on well.

I can understand why he didn't want to see her again but he really should have said no straight after the date, and not changed his mind the next morning.

wowfudge · 26/09/2018 13:18

She'd got into a right tizz though - putting far too much emphasis on the whole thing. I do think the researchers do a great job in matching people up though.

purpleme12 · 26/09/2018 13:20

Yes she was too emotional I agree but I still think he was an arse really. They weren't matched I don't think, fair enough, but I think attitude to her was pretty bad

VodkaRevelation · 26/09/2018 13:25

I thought he was trying to tell her she was negative about herself. I’m sure he said something along the lines of, ‘you should think more of yourself.’

VodkaRevelation · 26/09/2018 13:25

She was a bit bonkers crying because she didn’t love him immediately. Very high expectations.

purpleme12 · 26/09/2018 13:31

Yes she was bonkers about crying cos she didn't love him so I think she was too emotional cos of that.
I don't hear him say that vodkarevelation. But I know he also said she think a lot of herself (or words to that effect). It wasn't just those words. I think he was an arse. Just how he was and his attitude towards her

VodkaRevelation · 26/09/2018 13:35

I read it all completely differently. I thought he was just a bit baffled by her mixture of confrontational and defensive attitude. And then the crying.

VodkaRevelation · 26/09/2018 13:35

She was even a bit defensive when Fred said, “be good” as they left.

purpleme12 · 26/09/2018 13:36

Oh it looks like we've both took it differently!

SerenDippyEggs · 26/09/2018 13:36

He did alright faced with that - if I'd met a bloke who'd cried like that I'd run a mile! She seemed very sweet but naive.

I can't get over when she said "I couldn't deal with two of me"
He replied with "yes it would be crazy" as in two of himself, and she said "you think I'm crazy?" And started bloody crying! Nightmare

purpleme12 · 26/09/2018 13:38

I do agree she is naive which is part of the reason why she wouldn't be too everyone's taste. She needs someone who gets her!

desperatehousewife21 · 26/09/2018 15:54

She had VERY high expectations and she had really built the date up beforehand, getting all flustered while getting ready in her room beforehand.
They seemed most relaxed on the little bed thing outside after the dinner.

I read it more that he was baffled by her emotions and didn’t really know how to deal with it. I don’t think he said anything out of order.

purpleme12 · 26/09/2018 16:14

Oh maybe I'm the only one that didn't like him then!!

neverbelong · 27/09/2018 08:22

I thought he only said yes to a second date because he felt bad about making her cry then the next day he backtracked like crazy

purpleme12 · 27/09/2018 09:23

I agree. But that's another reason why I didn't like him

Notmethistimehonest · 27/09/2018 10:33

I felt sorry for him to be honest. She was hard work and too much to deal with on a first date.

purpleme12 · 27/09/2018 13:27

I too think she was hard work yes but I don't think she was horrible or anything.

God I didn't think I'd be the only thinking like I am lol

neverbelong · 27/09/2018 13:36

I wasnt keen on him either especially because I could see he clearly wasn't into her but said he was for damage control.
I agree she was hard work but she put so much pressure on herself and was so nervous.
I don't think they were a good fit at all, she needs someone to help build her up and support her, not criticise her as I think she's too critical of herself already.

purpleme12 · 27/09/2018 14:16

Oh phew I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this!!

NoMudNoLotus · 27/09/2018 21:41

I know this girl.

She is distraught by the exposure. Her flight out was very delayed, she was exhausted, they then plied her with lots of alcohol and she became over wrought and teary.

When he said he changed his mind the following morning about a second date they swiftly put her onto the next available flight (they do literally turf you out of the hotel asap if there is no second date).

NoMudNoLotus · 27/09/2018 21:44

There is a lot of backstory to this which i wont post as it is unfair but suffice to say the media need to cut her some slack.

NoMudNoLotus · 27/09/2018 21:45

@JaneJeffer i think your comment was kind 💐

JaneJeffer · 27/09/2018 21:45

I hope she'll be ok NoMud. As you can see on here she was liked by everyone and we could see past the over-emotional way she was shown. Her niceness, for want of a better word, still shone through.
