Are Jamie’s Jokes Too Dirty? | First Dates New Zealand

Arna has struggled with dating in the past, as she comes across as a high maintenance 'princess'. In reality however, Arna's just a down to earth kiwi girl looking for a nice kiwi guy. Meeting Arna this evening is Care Coordinator Jamie. Jamie has been on three disastrous blind dates in the past, so is understandably approaching the evening with a little caution.

I’ve never heard anybody say “yeah, sure,” but their body language says a very positive, no way.

[@LoloO42]

Elegance is effortless. She's not that. Why does she keep posing? I don't think she needs to worry about folks perceiving her as posh. 😆 Picking her teeth with her nails at the table was a classy move, too.

[@aleonflux1138]

Agreed, her demeanour seemed unnatural and pretentious.

Interesting that so many of the comments noticed Arna was posing, it was so obvious & weird & Jamie's nasty jokes are not for anyone but maybe his younger brother. Arna's need for attention on camera is embarrassing. Can'r believe she opted to go on a 2nd date w/ him.

[@kaputfretudy]

She was a generous listener, showed interest in him, and I thought sincere and quite lovely. She has a few old world graces, which are probably from her family culture, and I don’t think should be interpreted as phony by commenters. Not surprised he found love at work, surrounded by so many women!

Is she truly 26? 😶

[@sigma8995]

Gents, this response at 8:45 is NOT what you want to see when dating a girl. It's the response of a girl who has low interest level in you. She should have a burning desire and say, "DEFINITELY!" In the end, she reveals her low interest again with the hesitation. Although she says yes, her unspoken language says no. Listen to the latter. In situations like this, the guy just need to step it up and next the girl. Find another one to date to save him time, heartache and potential trouble down the line.

[@aron.gortman]

She is physically attractive, but she knows it and acts a little superior. He's a bit juvenile and talks like a robot. Not a good match. She needs a take charge kind of alpha male to knock her down a few pegs.

[@berenicehickey9755]

She needs to relax.

[@fatcatontario]

After seeing quite a few of these dates and based on my experience it is safe to assume that if a man likes you he will insist on paying. Anyone who wants to split are not interested. As I've thought.

[@moeezS]

Disagree. Full pay or splitting isn't an indicator of interest to me. I split with my wife when it was dinner dates, and fully paid when it was coffee dates. Some people like conservative gender roles, so they want a man to fully pay but doesn't mean they're into the guy necessarily. But if you're progressive and believe in gender equality, you will be fine with splitting.

[@zacatkinson3926]

26 ?she looks 36

[@sparra3819]

In terms of looks, I found them to be a really good match. I rather agree, she could turn down the posing, but it does match her flirty personality. And, well, he ruined dessert, just saying..

[@zenguidancetarot]

Ughh.. decent guy.. she's level 10 annoying

[@darkerbinding6933]

Arna, this is a lesson in "you snooze, you lose". Too often women think they are in the driver's seat but fail to realize that good men are in high demand. Better luck next time... don't pause.

[@jay-lm4we]

Good men? The poor chat is a few sandwiches short of a picnic

[@vambo13257]

This guy is creepy af

[@Skeezer66]

At least they were both over 22! That said, is she REALLY only a bartender? The way she posed, and 'dropped her napkin', it felt like she's used to using her looks to get attention, maybe a stripper? There are people who 'frown' on that, so I can understand her not telling. Were they a match? LMAO!!!! Of course not!!

[@robertgelblum5154]

When are we going to see a successful First Date New Zealand episode again? Really, I am getting quite frustrated by the number of episodes lately that are duds in the end, that don't lead anywhere! Can't the show hire a professional matchmaker who can accurately match compatible people, who are both genuinely looking for a serious relationship? Is it really that difficult to do? Or is the problem fundamentally that this is at its core a reality TV show whose main (or sole?) purpose is entertainment and high ratings? (Side note: I found the woman to be very hot in her tight dress and all dolled up with her hair and makeup. I may have to emigrate to New Zealand from Canada, if all the kiwi women look at least this good! The guy was ok, with a sense of humour that probably puts off a lot of people, but can be a total winner with someone who appreciates his jokes.)
