not attractive to a lot of woman- particularly ' alpha type'. She is going to have to be his ' therapist' at least on some level and she doesn't have the bandwidth as a career woman for that.

Absolutely. He sounded like a calm and collected man, full of peace and tranquility. She noted that he had said that he felt that he wasn't good enough for her, so instead of reassuring him by seeing him again, she 'gave up' at the first hurdle because of that, and that she didn't get the connection that she wanted at that instant! So much for taking things slowly. Great shame. 🤔

Yes, he was a gentleman BUT she wasn't at eye level with this man, she was above it and she was completely right to end this. If someone thinks he/she isn't good enough for someone else, well...this can't work. This had nothing to do with Doug being a small town guy, he really compared himself to Jennifer all the time and this was very unattractive and insecure. He also was a bit too quiet, too calm, he didn't really seem to open himself emotionally, it was clearly feelable. Jennifer did the right thing, they weren't a good fit.

@@tubester4567 Wrong. Learn to use your intuition more and use your brain less. I can sense that you have been disappointed by women BUT this happens when men are not authentic, emotionally open and…honest. I agree, your chances with a date drop substantially when you are authentic and completely open and honest BUT this is the ONLY way you can meet the right woman for YOU. You are seeing material things only but a working relationship is based on emotions only. It does not matter if the woman likes nice things and the man does not, it matters if you are emotionally connecting on a deeper level and if you see each other at eye level. I suggest therapy if you do not trust women anymore.

[@kimberlyenglehardt5770]

I think this is a complicated part of dating. He showed his true self. An honest man. But perhaps a little too much on a first date. He definitely deserved a second date with that input on the table. But it’s also way too early for her to have to prop his confidence up.

[@outsideview9052]

Sue, I completely agree with you. I only feel bad for him because he lost his first marriage, not because this woman didnt want to date him again. When he said that his divorce was "not his choice" you could see that still hurt. I wonder how far out of the blue that divorce came to him? Did he know that they had problems or was it a total surprise? You would probably be amazed at how often that type of thing happens to a man or a woman and they had no idea the other person felt that way. In those cases, I expect it is because the person asking for the divorce has already been cheating and is leaving to be with someone else. Double ouch.

I stumbled on this video as I was cruising around youtube and I am so glad that I did! I first would like to thank these two for sharing their 1st date with all of us, it's hard enough to go on a first date but to be filmed while doing it is both brave and vulnerable. I am 2 years divorced after 15 years with my now ex husband and I am struggling at the thought of dating again. I want to explore dating again on one hand but scared on the other hand, It was comforting actually to see that others feel the same way that I do, it was so helpful and inspiring to see that we all, more than likely, are struggling with our confidence after the loss of what we thought would be a forever relationship. I really like both these people! They were both kind and interesting and I hope that they both find true happiness.

[@rejectionisprotection4448]

Seems like a extrovert/introvert clash here. I'm not sure why they think that this clash of temperaments will work.

[@jackvoss1527]

Everyone is looking for this immediate "spark". My wife and I started out as friends. It took me a year to figure out I had other feelings for her, while she was apparently interested for a while. We started dating. 20 plus years later married with 2 kids. We love each other and she is my best friend. Why people don't get to know each other when they obviously enjoyed each other's company befuddles me.

SPARKS DON'T GET YOU THROUGH THE TOUH TIMES....BONDS OF LOVE AND LOYALTY AND FRIENDSHIP DO. I TOO HAVE A LONG MARRIAGE THAT WAS A SLOW BURN TOWARDS A FLAME AND STARTED AS FRIENDS.

[@Leticia-rg8dw]

She's sweet to have said that he shouldn't feel like she's better than him he lost out on a good woman I hope she's found someone who's secure in themselves because an insecure guy will only bring you down I know this personally.

[@T.JVeldens]

Her loss. He can do better.

[@BoxerMom333]

I didn’t think he came across as insecure at all, he was being honest about who he is. I’m bubbly like her and this man is someone I would be completely attracted to. He’s very honest, kind, respectful and handsome.

[@a697ag]

He's not ready

[@seaturtle7777]

I think Jennifer made the right decision. She wanted a man who would step up and pursue and appreciate her. Doug is clearly still struggling with his self esteem, with little male energy left for her.

[@svetlanaseamone1920]

When someone is not in the happy place crying and getting upset with no reason, that one should stay single and take some time to find happiness in life prior dating or getting into any relationship.

[@celticbro1]

This was a sad date. They both seemed like lovely genuine people but Doug seemed insecure and needs to build confidence in himself. He's a real catch for the right woman but he needs to learn to believe in himself.

[@jacobs3031]

I couldn't be arsed at his age pursuing women he's already had kids and been through the motions I'd accept things for what they are.

[@angelest9065]

God it hurts to see this type of guy rejected, he was humble and honest, handsome and he looks amazing for a 54 years old, guys tend to look older that they are, i hope he finds his match

[@clintonallen2237]

The date started off great, but it ended up being a tough interaction to watch. Women love confidence and Doug didn't have it. You shouldn't disqualify yourself, before your date does. Let her make the choice about what she values and what she's looking for, don't make the decision for her.

[@veronicacorningstone8059]

Bless this man, i hope he finds happiness ❤

[@PiperTMTotalWar]

Takes a lot to put yourself out like this, kudos to both of them.

[@adam88099]

Jennifer was incredible. I feel like Doug would be lucky to have a friend in her so he could heal himself. Ultimately she deserves someone who loves themself as does Doug. He just needs to get out of his own way. 2 really lovely people meeting at the wrong time.

[@bronwenwicks7845]

I hope and pray you both find compatible, lifelong companions. Doug, you seem like a well rounded gentleman and old school 👍🌟 women will appreciate that.

[@frankish5314]

Two lovely people but not right for each other. Plus he needs more time to recover. It took me about ten years to remember who I was after my divorce.

[@AndyM...]

I reckon they should have gone on a second date regardless, away from the cameras etc. There was emotion from both sides...this deserved a second round !!!

[@descargaelbano]

Agreed!

[@Rwissam1987]

I was hoping he would make it right and ask for a second chance...

[@gloworm1822]

Totally understand where she's coming from. I too was married to a man with intimacy issues. It was extremely difficult ending that relationship, but necessary.

[@outsideview9052]

I hope women like you will be just as understanding when men divorce their wives over similar "intimacy" issues. Unfortunately, they generally just get accused of being unfaithful and criticized for going for younger women.

If he was more himself and less assuming what she would think of him, it may have turned out differently.

⚠️Can u guys start posting what episode these clips are from so we can find the full episodes ⚠️I love so many first dates and then wanna see the whole thing 🥺

[@a.wilcox5690]

It starts with self-love. After my husband left our 32-year marriage, I have finally learned to love myself and see my own self-worth. Not in a big hurry to find another relationship. In the meantime, I am discovering all the many forms of love: love of my rescue dog, love of my friends & neighbors, love of nature and gardening. I have found peace & contentment. I am happy to be alive.

[@sparra3819]

peace is worth everything

[@rawpuppyman]

Fred.. you better off not being with her.. because she just said it herself your a great guy.. for her not to realize that and listening to her self is her loss .

[@Graciegracebaby]

She took the fraud thing too literally. He was just saying she’s more polished meanwhile he’s a bit more laid back lol.

[@cathybelk-cb3ei]

Glad to hear he took her advice and is dating someone

Big mistake by him. Was in awe of her being well travelled. That doesn't make one intelligent/mature/balanced etc.

This made me cry. He loved his wife and she desrroyed him. MEN HURT TOO💔

[@ENFPerspectives]

Too bad, but it didn't take him long to find someone else.

[@wrstrfgh]

As a vibrant lady with so many assets in life, I can understand that she is looking for a full match and no less. On the other hand, such a high level of demand may leave you without a chair when the music stops.
