Candlemaker Richard Is Ready To Melt Hearts | First Dates Hotel

[@mattmelb]

It honestly breaks my heart when you see how the emotional scars from childhood bullying run so deeply into adulthood. I really hope they both find the match they are looking for!

[@jm7804]

I agree. Some people are more resilient than others when it comes to such things. It makes me incredibly sad to see people not living their best lives because of trauma. It's easy to say get over it, but it's not that simple sometimes.

[@mayur1397]

"Coz it was safer to be shut off than make yourself the bigger target." This is the only reason people should need to not be a bully. Love for them❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@nekromantik2009]

OMG thats EXACTLY my life since school and bullying. recently tried therapy but so far talking therapy not helped much. I become like a walking void :/

[@patrickb4750]

@@nekromantik2009 - I'd recommend journaling, shadow work, meditation and also self concept work. The problem is that we've (I'm in the same boat) not had chance to process those emotions properly from childhood, so there's a load of unhealed trauma that's stuck in the subconscious. I currently use an exercise book by The School of Life called 'Who am I?', also affirmations and nighttime affirmations I've recorded and play on loop whilst sleeping...

[@mayur1397]

@@patrickb4750 very well said. I recently discovered School of Life after I had a full blown panic attack after a breakup from an insecurely attached relationship. Now on a healing journey and helping my file as well.

@@nekromantik2009 working on yourself and healing yourself takes a lot of work. Hope you are able to find your peace eventually. If you want someone to talk to, I would love to give some emotional support.

[@bovitosumi735]

Are you from. I like you. I am 41 divorce abt 7 yes now. And wat abt you.

[@michaelwalker2492]

I could relate to what Richard said. When so much of your life is dependent on how well your childhood, and teenage years go, it can take a long time to recover. It makes you stronger, but all those missed opportunities, by hiding, it's such a shame.

[@marzenabaginska1612]

Richard is such a nice guy. He is handsome, very polite and honest person. It's kind of sad to hear someone was giving him hard time just because he got different sexual preference.

[@millercreativestrategiesll8863]

Orientation, not preference

[@bunnylarese2161]

Too dhort

[@troysierra5228]

Richard is handsome man

[@hustler212]

yeah... orientation please...

[@importantstuf8870]

a preference is liking brunettes over blondes. Orientation cannot be changed. it's determined very early in life, a mix of nurture and nature

[@peggyesquibel8353]

No one absolutely no one should ever be made to feel “worthless”! We are all beautiful in our own way! You Richard deserve to be appreciated, respected and loved for who you are! I wish you both all the best!

[@tomjanowski8584]

Lingerie and candles are a match made in heaven on many levels.

[@ralphlyda4545]

Richard & Duncan are both such lovely people! It seems like they fit each other really well!

[@bovitosumi735]

Love you wants to be yours good ftnd.

[@celticbro1]

They're both very sweet but I didn't think there was a spark between them. It was sad hearing Richard's lack of confidence due to bullies, he's a very good looking guy and seems a nice guy.

[@stanbalo]

Yes no spark but they can end up being good friends so it is still all good. On these dates, you need to be open minded. I mean it is also a means of networking and learning new things from other people. If you are just there looking for love, the more you will not find it.

[@macrichardson7440]

They are so cute together. I hope they both find what they want and deserve

[@maha77]

I'm having quite a crush on Duncan, he is absolutely so cute. If it doesn't work out with Richard, Duncan will have to fly to Los Angeles on a holiday and meet me

[@mgblue]

I feel the same as Richard, I was bulled heavily the last 6 months of school I had no one, went to sixth form but once I was told I wasn't obligated (my attendance was bad) to be there by a teacher I left. I'm not as confident as I should be in my dating life and life in general but I'm getting there... my candlelight dimmed for many years but its still alight and getting brighter :)

[@johntomlinson6849]

I had ten years of bullying from 8 to 18. Been successful work-wise (managed to retire at 54 and never have to work again) but the rest of my adult life is pretty much a car crash and I find I'm filling my day with as many mental distractions as possible (most of which I enjoy a lot) but otherwise just counting down the months and years until death releases me. Life just hasn't been what it seemed to promise when I was very small.

[@cindysin2347]

Richard is so good-looking.

[@sterlingforbes3872]

Lovely men, I hope the best for them and their happiness whether together or apart.

[@independentx0x0]

I'm so sorry you had to go through that dear 🥺 you are perfect

[@teleopinions1367]

That sort of bullying is worse today for LGBTQ kids. I think they learn it from their parents. Be nice to each other, and to your classmates, because at some point life will catch up with you. Treating others who are different from you with respect is a decent thing to do.

[@briandbedford4178]

Richard is a really sincere, empathetic person. A winner and a great partner to be. Good luck.

[@matthewjames7548]

Richard is engaged though (according to his candle company's Instagram). Him and his business partner/company cofounder are engaged...

[@camillabarclay4049]

Both very nice but its so awkward to start i can hardly watch . Wonder how it went on rest of the meal.

[@georgegarcia7334]

All I can tell Richard is "You have to kiss a lot of FROGS before you find THE PRINCE!!!" I am a foreign-born American and came to this country in 1961. (USA). And believe me from 1961 to 1990 (29 years) I spent hoping that the next one I meet will be the one. And it never happened. I had lots of long-term dating relationships; but never marriage. In 1990, when I was working in Macon, Georgia when I met a young man (17 years younger then I) and HE FELL IN LOVE WITH ME. It was a very unusual situation for me. Long story short, we've been togther 33 years. Keep the faith...true love is out there. It was a very unusual situation for me. Long story short, we've been togther 33 years.

[@jamesdooling4139]

I hope this worked out. They're both handsome and funny. Here's hoping Richard got his man a hair style.

[@soundseeker63]

It is criminal how many people enter young adulthood completely shattered from bullying. It's definitely an issue for LGBT people, but also for anyone who is "different" or unique in any way. I really wish the world wasn't that way and that people could just be who they are without shame or fear.

[@EsperUltima]

Richard is an attractive guy, I think his flaw is what makes him very attractive.
