Heard the buzz about online dating and dating apps and want to know more? Yes . Great. Then tune in and join with us, sharing all things that lovers and a whole lot of other losers every week. Hi everybody. Welcome to episode two. So James and I are coming to you today to share more fabulous and funny tales from the dating battle ground . Good morning James . Good morning Kylie. Can I just say everybody? Hey , this is what I'm working with today. He looks super and I've actually taken some photos because we're going to start an Instagram account, but today gone . Okay . All right , find that I am and I'm going to put your name to it. It really appreciating your input on all the other pieces that are happening behind the scenes. I'm going to Rob a servo and blame you. Thank you. That would be great. So I just want to paint a little picture here. So we've done our usual, James has had, I'm not allowed to call it a sleepover. He's crashed on the floor. We talked up, he's cooked us breakfast and then he said I'm going to have a shower and get dressed. Now what? He's walked out in today, he looks like James Dean and he's got blue jeans on and this long sleeve shirt, it's more of a costume. The big lapels to flip the sound back into the microphone. Oh we are happy. Oh, are we rolling up? Sleeves . So he's got, mind you, his buttons are undone down to halfway down his chest. Tom Jones, cheers to the Tom Jones chest hairs. He just put sunglasses on. I'm like, no, that's it. The sunglasses have to stay up. So I can only see my reflection mirrored on the inside so I can see my reflection. Absolutely. So I just wanted to paint the scene. That's what I'm working with here today. Sorry , we might launch in and I'd like to have a little bit of a chat about a couple of themes we're going to focus on today. Uh , the chat post connection on the app and occupation. We want to chat a little bit about occupation. So I'm matched with said person on app and he seemed great and again he seemed funny. So we were messaging, messaging and then we had our first chat and that seemed to go really well. So I'm okay. We'll progress to the next chat. And during this chat I was actually out walking and I asked about his star sign. Are you into star signs as a guide? No. But what I do do is I always lie when a girl asked me, Oh that's that sign I get, I always say something inaccurate . Well I've got , I'm a Gemini and I'll look at the girlfriends. I knew he was a Gemini and then I got ha I'm an Aries and then I go, that's exactly what an Aries would do. And so you can't win. Um, you know like always wins though if you keep blowing it though . But you have not a big step . I mean I I it's all fun. That's great. If you want to get a tattoo and you can't think of anything. Um , we still did the pictures of the ram and it'd be life size to cover my entire body. One to one ratio. Well I like the star sign as an indicator because there are some star signs that I know I'm potentially not going to match . Well wait James and I are both Aries. Does fire and fire, do they match then? Like two fires don't make a right or something like that . We can match. We can match like a bigger fire. Yes, we are both Aries by the way everybody. So it came work potentially best in a work setting. Oh yes. But one thing about staff room, a female sort of domain, you don't get really get many guys talking around this astrology shit about the star signs and um , the moon and the six doorbells or whatever happened. You may actually, I have one for myself saying later , but I do make a big talking about that. I do make a big mess . So coming back, so I'd said to him, what's your star sign ? And he said, I believe Aquarius. I'm like, great. And then I've got a book and it breaks down relationships with star signs, but rather than just Aries and Aries, Aries is broken down into three. So it refines it a little more. So that's , and what's your date of birth? And he told me and I hadn't looked it up yet. And then comes another message cause I was busy and doing things saying I will be really pissed off if you let this go based on my star sign. That was his language. He sounds like an angry man. So that didn't bode well. And then same conversation of, I tend to talk about James a lot in my conversations. Not sure why I do that, it just comes up. Potentially not that you just seem to drop him . This guy responded with, I hope this will not be like when Harry met Sally. Well you're no Billy crystal so It's a thing. People, you know, they always make it more than it's sort of , you know, it's like Kylie and Jason are neighbors icon . I thought in real life they would be together. When I was a kid I thought Bouncer would be like the little dog. And it's interesting as I've had lots of chats, lots of messages. Someone I mentioned maybe do need to stop mentioning you as much. At the beginning, most of them make a comment about it or seem to have an issue about it. I'm like, maybe that's a thing. Do a lot of men not have close female friends? Is it a thing from a male perspective because they seem to most of them ask questions around it and comment like, is this going to be a, when Harry met Sally, I'm like, no, no, I'm not taking you out to dinner if you're going to be making those sounds. I think a lot of guys have female friends, this might be the guys or not . And so it's weird if you don't have a friend that's a female Well I think I'll take on board , maybe not mentioning it or refer to it . I think if you go and you referred to your mother as mammy , that sort of, and it's your friend, you know, like your best friends, your mom. Potentially. Yeah. So anyway, he talked about trusting your intuition and so a couple of messages later, I said , I'm really gonna trust my intuition. I'm letting you go. To which he actually sent a respectful message back, but he was disappointed. Delete, euthanize . Yeah, he was. He was. He was disappointed. So that was, that was a no win for me. Whilst searching though recently I came across this profile, I've come across someone and they are actually recruiting for, he said I'm starting my own porn channel channel, but just one that is not only a whole porn channel, hopefully not kids programs he's recruiting. That's probably, that's quite a favorite spot to be recruiting kinda for your Porn channel or giggle you like see if they get married. That's what I think. When I look at you here and you shut down with all your chest area, it's going to be in sleeves rolled up. That's got , that could be a future episode. I'd like to have a chat. I'd like to actually check in James because last episode you were running late and you were off to your date. Yes . Can you please talk us through the date? Okay . I wondered up to the main high street in a little suburb and she was gonna meet me there and like a little snazzy sort of pink sort of car. Um, then I saw a car pull up and I was like, well , this exciting out pop, this that Indian gentleman. And I go , Oh, Hey , starts walking up to me and I'm thinking I have misread Bumble, this is, this is going to be a waste of my life. He sort of looked at me and I'll look to them and he will pass me. And I think we both had a recognition of that was a lucky, lucky miss. Um, but she was in the car so, and she hopped out of the car when you, when she pulled up. No, no, no and no was sort of, because I'd sort of jumped in the passenger side and, well, no. U m, and there was c rap on the front seat, so I just moved it. We don't like that. I was like, O h, I li ke t his girl already. Um, I j u mped in the car. Um, I was goi ng to gi ve her a hug, but I'm sitting in the passenger seat and she's way ov er there and it's like, no, sto p le aning over. Um, s o off we went. I u h , w e en ded up going to like a big sup er ma ll, which is open on the Su nday out in the open in public, people were in, the y ca n see the desperation in his eyes. She was lovely. She's a makeup artist. I did ask if she did a makeup for clowns. Um , didn't go down well , but she has done a few things for the film and so none of the big scars or blood scenes. I just, yeah , I just make up your general standard. How long did your date last ? An hour and a bit. On the way out . She went into a home furnishing store and I sort of hover on the outside like a vampire with those things. I've got to be asked through the strip threshold before I go in . Um , as I done , I just don't, like, she went through, she could see, I was like, okay , I don't wear a watch shop . So I didn't have a watch to look at, so I pulled the phone out, did the normal thing just to deal with it and then I thought, Oh, I shouldn't do this . I'll put they way. Great that you had that awareness. Yeah. And then I just was just , just looking around, you'll see them, you know, you'll just looking, just looking to waste time. She was making an order for something. She was talking to the lady trying to make eye contact with me. It's a strange thing to do on a date. Well she thought, you know , the date is not going so well. I understand. Because I've let someone passively hover while I've done something else on the date. I should have been checking emails. He should have also been utilizing the time. Yeah . I should have been. Anyway. There was, you know , it was a little bit of electricity well I felt a little spark and she felt some resistance. She , she was good. When did you get the bus dropped me back and I said , I don't have a car at the moment. It's classic classic James, you know, I'm going to , I'm going to message you straight after and say thanks for the day , you know, blah, blah, blah. And I just left it, just leave one to leave you. She left you when she walked into the shop. Potentially. You'd go , I'll go on in spirit. Anybody looking for an exit at the back door? Excuse me? Do you have a store room? And a crew knows 'em respect. Oh , is all right . You know, it's all good, but a good experience. It was a good experience. Yes. So I've done more one date for the whole series. I can just leave it. There it is. Thank you. That's good input. Oh, I'd like to talk around occupation. Uh, yes. So, okay . Do you? I've seen some good occupations this week. What do you think a steering wheel attendant is. Can you talk me through that? I would say fine. Work it out. See I've got somebody unemployed who just a steering wheel attended steering wheel attendance, a d river potentially. Yeah. Possible. I 'm sorry f or a ll those people. S ome I've met some good car s alesman. The guy who sold me this car was brilliant. Y eah. Why don't you go on a date with him. He had a family. What is the steering wheel atte ndant? No idea. Does anyone know out there. If you know what a steering wheel attendant is, as we haven't Googled this one. We do Google a lot of things. Can you pop it in the comments? Only thi n g. Oc cupations. People always, well not always. They've noted for the occupation down, so it sort of filters out people. So rubbish. If a girl says to me, she's a doctor, I go, Ooh. If she says she's unemployed, I go, Ooh. It means absolutely nothing to me. So you don't filter people based on what they've put down as their occupation. And I always try, when you're chatting with people, swinging around, like I always like to ask, how was your day? What do you like to do in your weekends or your time off? And then they go, Oh, I had a really tough shift. I'm like, I'm not even gonna go there. So they're trying to push you to ask them about what they do and what they do in that winds them up, which is always fun and it's , it's absolutely, it's , people try and ask me, I just avoid it, you know , I just said, what do you like? You do? Tell them what you've asked me . I say exactly what I do and what I see occupations . But um , they don't want a friend , they want to frame things around it. Like don't want to push you in a box and they want to be popped in a box. And I'm like, Nope, no. Putting James in a box, putting me in a box. You might be at a time yet the lid needs to stay open, don't shut the lid. I don't really , I don't have my occupation on there. I have part of one of it. Mine doesn't even make sense. You have many h ats. I do. I do a lot of things. So I've got to the point now t hey'd say, what do you do? Oh dot point. A broad dot points got 1 0 to f our broad dot p oint p resentation. It is a presentation. Is there a test for the individual is t here certificate certified? I, I need to work. This is a whole episode. Need to work on my screening tools. We should talk about that down the track. We should get all the times that you say this is a whole episode. All this is for another time and just do that one. Sounds good. So yeah, and I agree with you. I will not ask somebody what you do. I mean you can always ask them things like if you were a pizza, what flavor pizza would you be? Oh , what would you be? Uh , Oh would be tomato and basil. Oh, that's, that's me. That's me to attempt you. Are you asking me what are they? Okay . Well , I would be sweet chili sauce, pineapple, pepperoni and ginger and cheese. It's so good. Complicated and disgusting . That's why we could never be together because we didn't have to do all the things by yourself. There's all definitely not helping it . Doing things by myself. Well needs to be doing things by myself. So how are we going? We might wrap a wrap . Yeah, I've had enough. You could go to a 70's disco. This guy from the 1970s from the 1970s yeah . I do feel a little bit. Really like making it a little while later. Elvis, you pulling that on ? I'm pulling it off. We'll be pulling something off later. You got a glue gun? A glue gun. Oh, my daughter has a glue gun between the glue gun and the craft out the back . We could have you bedazzled. It might be an hour of crafts , not my strength, art and craft. Thursday.
