Adam Thinks He's a Vampire and Scares Date Off | First Dates New Zealand

[@lifeiswonderful2023]

If you don't want a second date then you should be the first to say so. Don't let the other person say they would like to see you again before you say you don't.

[@kenith287]

Maybe she was hoping he felt the same way and said no on a 2nd date!? Maybe? Idk.... when she heard he said yes , her heart sank....but i do know what you mean

[@MrJeeves007]

If a guy did this to a girl, it would be fround on more.

[@genebigs1749]

My favorite part was when she said she hated turtlenecks on the first date.

He seems to be confident... maybe a bit too confident. And he's convinced that he's 'young-looking'. Another one that should date himself. His date was lovely.

[@cameronpurves961]

he was pretty full on for a first date. Felt like he was just giving her a bunch of requirements and didn't even learn anything about her

OK, I admit it, I'm old fashioned; but when Adam didn't stand up, when his date arrived to meet him at the bar, I was done.

[@genebigs1749]

Wow! You took the words right out of my mouth!

[@cartoonking1063]

Yeah, very odd

[@leigh7507]

I think thats an old fashioned manner - I was never taught to do that and asked to do it growing up. I actually think I do it though as i tend give people a hug but I didnt think it was essential

[@genebigs1749]

@@leigh7507 It's very simple and gracious. When a lady comes to meet you, you stand. I think it's common courtesy, not old fashioned. I'm American, so maybe it's cultural, I don't know.

​@@celticbro1 men often contradict themselves, you want a feminine, sweet woman and you want to be the "alpha" but refuse to take charge . And let's be honest if you REALLY like someone you would not mind paying the bill, it's sort of a turn off and comes off like the guy doesn't really like you if he doesn't find you worthy of him paying for the meal

I’ve only warched UK version, which is quite nice, most of the time you see that the production has done their homework and people really are looking for a relationship. Today for the first time I’ve watched USA, NZ and Canadian versions and I don’t get the same vibe. Nice people are matched with weirdos and people are rude with no manners. I wonder is that the kind of entertainment people like more around there?

[@Skeezer66]

@@Prafik614 The US version never took off here. I'd say the UK version is the most watched, most liked.

She favors Sandra Bullock imo

[@bari2883]

Her seeing an old school friend. Better the devil you know, hey Liz?

[@robertgelblum5154]

I found the guy rather weird, verging on bizarre. I suppose he's very intellectual and introspective, but he has some strange ideas on eg hating the sun, loving the moon, being a kind of vampire etc! He needs a woman who's equally quirky and "different" - and I'm sure there's someone out there for him. I liked the woman, thought she was pleasant, nice looking. But of course she is much more normal and conventional than the guy. It was obvious to me that she was going to reject him. (I wonder if some matchmaker really thought these two might be compatible, or were they paired together simply to make for interesting reality tv?)

[@sigma8995]

He's an INTP, such personality are difficult to understand. They need another NT at the very least. She's a mismatch for him.

[@dtbristol]

Twenty seven and never had a boyfriend? Nobody is good enough, so this quirky guy doesn't have a chance. Turtle necks are offensive!

[@stevemorse108]

I am surprised at how nice the comments are towards this lady. She was absolutely tactless and cruel. There is no reason to put anyone down. Maybe she felt intimidated by his intellect and had to lift her ego up by bashing him...terrible date.

@@itsbrown_ well, you have your opinion and I have mine. Poking fun at someone in a non-constructive and mean way is cruel in my book.

[@vintagesupermarkets5210]

I agree that the turtleneck comment was rude. While the guy was “unique” (I wonder if he’s on the spectrum?), it’s not like he showed up in a stained t-shirt.

[@fatcatontario]

@@vintagesupermarkets5210 agreed and it was meant to put him down and feel uncomfortable... I wonder how she would have reacted if he started making comments like these about her appearance.

[@colaboytje]

Well, if he only talked about himself and doesn't show interest in his date, that is also very rude. He was also bragging about his health and how young he looks (he doesn't look healthy in terms of weight and condition). Maybe that triggered her to ask how much time he spent on making himself look good for his date.

[@fatcatontario]

@@colaboytje I personally don't think stooping to someone's level is the way to approach this. If this is the case, she has a very immature communication style.

I’m pretty sure he’s an INTP. It’s incredibly difficult for guys like him to find a romantic partner. He needs another NT. As for the girl, there are red flags. Being, 27 and never had a bf, considering herself too independent, and the end says she’s seeing “old high school” friend? Red flags. And the way she stabs at his turtle neck is just nasty.

What personality would you say she was? She states she's introverted, an investigator, likes people who can talk about weird things, and she's never had a boyfriend. She doesn't demo high levels of EQ with the turtle neck comment, letting the world know "she's seeeing an old school friend" when she's never had a bf before. I would say she's not a million miles away from a INT..just a female version. Unfortunately they clashed as neither of them displayed amazing people/conversation/emotional skills.
