First Dates - Season 2, Episode 03

Trailer

There's a wave of first date nerves in the restaurant as some of the singletons feel the pressure of meeting a potential soulmate. Series 1 favourite Rajan is back, hoping he'll be fourth time lucky. He's still got an impressive repertoire of chat-up lines, and he's out to impress lovelorn Corinne who has a history of meeting all the wrong men. Not all the daters are as confident as Rajan. Twenty-two-year-old beauty Shakira is on her first ever first date and she's shaking like a leaf waiting to meet an equally nervy Xany. Can they get past their fear once the conversation - and sambuca - start flowing? Young party animal Devon is nervous too, and arrives in the bar needing a very large drink. Her dishy date, debonair Will, is teetotal, but there's chemistry when they see past each other's drink orders. Posh Londoner Purdey likes laid-back Aussie Matt's well-toned arms but she talks too much to give his lips a chance to get any exercise. Opinionated live action role-player and heavy metal fan Dan berates his date, self-proclaimed geek Angela, for liking all sorts of music and not 'nailing her colours to the mast'. Will she want to make plans for a second date? For others, dating can be more significant than a bit of fun. Gentlemanly pensioner John hopes to find understanding and empathy with Jean, who says she 'doesn't need a man; she wants one'.
