00:00
as a good tester to see how things lie
00:02
is that’s going to
00:03
pull us apart i would say we were at
00:05
crossroads i’m not sure what i see in my
00:07
future really
00:09
[Music]
00:11
nicely hi i’m rory hello yeah
00:18
i trust him more than he trusts me there
00:21
was a we had a weird incident i’d say
00:22
okay it’s juicy that’s getting juicy
00:26
there was this guy who she used to date
00:29
would you go on a second date
00:30
maybe yeah
00:34
[Music]
00:37
i’m phoebe this is my boyfriend rory and
00:39
we’ve been together for
00:40
three years we first got together in
00:42
school when we were
00:44
16. the thing i love most about phoebe
00:47
is probably the fact that she is very
00:49
driven nothing’s ever stopped her
00:51
not even me she always gets what she
00:53
wants eventually
00:55
i love most about rory is
00:59
um this isn’t a good sign
01:03
i know right
01:04
[Music]
01:06
in the three years that we’ve been going
01:07
out there has been a lot of ups and
01:09
downs
01:10
next year hopefully i’ll be going to
01:12
france to study
01:13
for a year we’ve struggled with distance
01:15
in the past
01:16
and this is just like on another level
01:18
that’ll be
01:19
a bit of a strain we think yeah in the
01:21
relationship i’m excited for her
01:23
i think it’s going to be very tough yeah
01:26
i’d like the future to be
01:27
me and phoebe together well i feel like
01:29
this is more a testing grind
01:32
to see if this is the right thing for
01:33
both of us
01:37
as we’re getting dressed up because it’s
01:38
not for phoebe usually
01:40
it’s always been her nerves are
01:42
definitely there it’s going to be
01:43
interesting
01:44
[Music]
01:45
at the moment i have got butterflies it
01:48
is a bit weird
01:49
to be getting ready to go on a date with
01:52
someone that’s not your boyfriend um
01:54
but if we both do end up enjoying our
01:57
dates maybe that’ll
01:58
tell us something that something’s not
01:59
right
02:00
[Music]
02:06
my ideal type is adventurous not too
02:09
tall
02:10
probably blonde or brown hair very
02:13
chatty can hold up a conversation
02:15
and has a nice smile
02:18
hi nice to meet you hi i’m
02:25
i’m lauren i’m 23 years old
02:28
i think it’d be good for me to push
02:30
myself out of my comfort zone and go for
02:31
someone who
02:32
isn’t a bad boy someone that’s not going
02:33
to waste my time someone that actually
02:35
wants to do well in life
02:37
[Music]

you find this a bit awkward it’s a
02:56
little bit awkward like
02:58

she’s like on her date and i think she’s
03:01
gonna be
03:03
interested to see what i’m going to be
03:04

03:17
looking forward to getting to know her
03:21
things that attract me are confidence
03:24
call
03:25
funny definitely got to be funny i’d
03:27
like to say i don’t think
03:28
i’ll flirt back if there’s exploiting
03:31
but
03:32
yeah i’m just going to play it by ear
03:35
yes i am
03:35
yeah oh i’m nervous though
03:39
hello yeah i’m christine how are you
03:42
thank you what’s your name scott i’m
03:44
phoebe
03:46
my name’s scott i’m 22 years old and i’m
03:48
from south inland sea and i’m a business
03:49
analyst
03:50
i definitely think i could turn the
03:51
girl’s head i mean she wouldn’t be here
03:53
if she didn’t want to date other people
03:54
if she likes to look at me then we’ll
03:55
see what happens
04:02
so in terms of france and when when do
04:04
you actually sort of plan on leaving
04:06
so it’s like enormous of university term
04:09
date does he want you to go or not
04:11
i think he’s a bit worried i think he is
04:14
worried because obviously like
04:16
the first time we went away it wasn’t
04:18
too successful
04:19
there was a we had a wheat incident i’d
04:21
say okay
04:22
it’s juicy it’s getting juicy now isn’t
04:24
it have you ever done anything to like
04:26
sort of disobey the trust
04:28
um oh she got a smile on her face what
04:31
are we doing
04:31
we don’t want to go into that what have
04:32
you done i’ve just probably flirted with
04:35
someone i shouldn’t have
04:36
i think that was when we were hit or
04:38
like low
04:41
hang on okay so what you’re saying is
04:43
the conversation she had with this guy
04:45
she probably shouldn’t have if she’s in
04:46
a relationship with you
04:47
yeah okay she was like she went she
04:48
crossed the line basically yeah she
04:50
crossed the line
04:50
okay this has changed everything
04:55
i feel like it was
04:59
i don’t want to say experiment well it
05:01
was a good test
05:15
