Victoria met up with Darren. They both agreed that on their second date they should get tattoos. They even met up at the tattoo parlor proving there was no way of getting out of this. Darren seems like a great guy for Victoria. They were both off-beat. They’ve been messaging each other nonstop. They agreed to get tattoos that only made sense to them. Victoria was given the advice on being vulnerable and she tried to be that with Darren. She told him that she got a shamrock tattoo in honor of her dad’s tattoo.

Her dad was proud of his Irish heritage. Plus, the shamrock was one of the few kid friendly tats she could replicate. Her dad got most of his tattoos in prison. She admitted as much to Darren. He was frequently in jail for drugs. He eventually overdosed. Her mom also died. Her grandmother died. She was an orphan and that was hard for Darren to wrap his head around because he’s never been to a funeral. He never lost anyone. He didn’t know what to say to Victoria or if he should say something. He apologized for being at a loss on what to say. It was all he could do.

Victoria was worried about ruining the mood around the same time Sarah got her prince. Sarah went on a second date. It was with a new guy named Sean. Sean was everything she wanted. He was wealthy, he was fit, he was a “Crazy Rich Asian” type prince. He was what Sarah described to her matchmaker and then she realized why Dolly tried to talk her out of that type. The date went well at first. It was as they were talking that Sean brought some worrying behavior. Sean has been in a serious relationship before and Sarah asked him why it ended. And she didn’t like the answer.

Sean confessed that he was seeing other women the same type as he was dating his ex. He then tried to justify it as everyone goes through a hoe stage. Sarah asked him if he was still in that stage and he wasn’t sure. Sean and Sarah went into this date being both attracted to each other physically. Only Sarah wants a guy that respects women. Sean wasn’t ready for that stage in his life just yet. The same goes for Tony. Tony got another chance at a new blind date. This time he got to see his date. Her name is Marina. She was into Martial Arts. They met up at the MA gym.

His matchmaker was hoping for them to focus on their shared interests. This over looks. Tony was a little too focused on looks and of course that’s what Tony noticed first about Marina. Marina looks exactly like his ex-girlfriend. She was his type down to a t. Its not Luiza’s fault that when he described his perfect partner – he described his ex. The two looking alike was a negative. It was also a second negative that Marina has a dog who sleeps in the bed with her. She said the dog was her baby and Tony hates that.

Tony doesn’t think people should be too attached to pets. Or let them sleep with them in the bed. He was so picky and it wasn’t just with the women he was meeting. He also had an issue with matchmakers. He was working Luiza’s last nerve. Speaking of red flags, Amber thought meeting a guy’s family on the first date might be a red flag and it didn’t work out that way. His parents were lovely. Glenn was great. Amber enjoyed the food Glenn’s mom prepared. She reminded them of Diana Ross because of the hair.

Amber showed off her clogging. She danced with his dad. She and Glenn shared their first kiss at the end of the date and it was perfect. They have great chemistry. Even his family thought that. The two agreed to a second date that same day. Amber also enjoyed that Glenn moved out of his parents’ place at twenty-two. He’s got his own place. He also wasn’t a sleaze like Sarah’s Sean. Sean said he was potentially still in a hoe phase. He juggled five woman a day. He talked about his stamina and that he dabbled in porn because of his high sex drive.

What really killed his chances though was when he asked Sarah her body count. Sarah was a lady. She doesn’t want to hear about sexapades on the first date. Or that her date did porn just to sleep with lots of people. It had her concerned about what he was really doing in Thailand when he cheated on the most recent ex. The date was just plain bad. There were no other words for it. It was so bad that Sarah suspected her matchmaker deliberately set her up on the date to prove a point. Sarah hates the lesson and she hasn’t gone on one good date so far.

Darren meanwhile may not have known what was best to say, but he was still nice. They went ahead with the tattoos. They kept talking. It’s how you resolve things and it says a lot about a potential future between them.

Tony was hung up on the dog thing. He thought that was a mental illness. Luiza tried to pair him with another woman and he hated that Tais recently cut her hair. Luiza reminded him that he puts people in boxes but doesn’t want to be put in one himself. It’s why she called him difficult. She apologized for that and she’s got one match left him. If it doesn’t work out with the new woman, Luiza will be firing him as a client.

THE END
