Oh, hello, this is Harriet Kemsley, and I'm very excited to be back on tour around the UK with my new show, Flusi. As listeners of the podcast will know, I am really trying my best to be a bit of a flusie, but it's not going particularly well. The dates are on sale now. It's going to be autumn 2026. For tickets and information, head to plosive.com.com. Hello, I'm Amy Gledhill. And I'm Harriet Kemsley. We're both single and in our 30s. And we've found ourselves back on the dating scene. And the landscape has changed. Everyone has settled down. But we're back out there.

We're desperately trying to figure out what the hell we should be doing. So we're going to speak to experts. Chat about dates we've been on. If we managed to get any. And share your tips and horror stories. So we all feel less alone. We might even get our exes on. Yeah, we'll see about that.

This is Single Ladies in your area. Oh, hello. Oh, hello there. we've reached the end of the second season. Can you believe it? Yeah. I can't and I can believe that we're still single. Yeah, we've been through it.

Oh God, we're going to get to series three. Unless something happens in the break, we're getting to series three as single women. No, but we're different people than we were in season one. We're completely different. Yeah. Yeah. Like, genuinely, sometimes I think back on some of them early episodes.

Oh, my skin crawls. Yeah. But hopefully, season three we'll look back at these and be like ugh what all we're thinking that's it I just feel like we just can't stop evolving God it's exhausting all this evolving though it is from little um shrubs

worms little worms and now we're probably I don't know butterflies but we're maybe like in we're wearing the cocoon and we're peeking out oh that's so nice oh you see I was thinking we were going from like worms all the way to women And I was like, oh, right, she stopped at the cocoon. We really haven't progressed that much at all.

We've got a long way to go, yeah. I think maybe if it's worms to women, I feel right now, like, and it is. Yeah. Like a sort of armadillo. Wow, that's great. Yeah, thank you. I think I've progressed a lot. I think I've got a long way to go before I'm a woman.

Yeah, I'm not a worm, but I'm a porcupine. I love that. I'm spiky. Spikey. But I'm going to evolve. I'm cute. You're cute. You're cute.

Do you know what? We're so cute. We are cute. And, you know, we have a really cute guest, actually. We do. I can't believe this. But for our season finale, we have our first ever straight single guy. Yeah.

He is like my little brother. He lives near me. And I love to start rumors about him. It's very good to get a perspective, I think. It is. And I'm really excited here. Yeah, the other side. But I just want to tell the listeners that even though we are going over to the other side

and hearing a man's perspective, this guy is so nice that it's almost like he's a woman. Do you know what I mean? Like I feel like we've let this one through, you know, because he's great. And I think he's very like considerate and thoughtful. He's raised by a woman. He's raised by a woman. So do you know what? He gets it.

we are talking to a guy, but we can't believe that this is what all guys think. Oh, yeah. That's why, I'm just, I'm just, because in case somebody listens and then they're like, oh, well, I guess all guys think like this. Nah, ah, ah, ah, yeah. I don't know, maybe, maybe I'm being too cynical.

But we've got a lovely guy on. Good disclaimer, good disclaimer. Get that out there. But you know what I mean? You might trust this one, but don't trust all of them. Keep your hackles up, ladies. Yeah, I just don't. I don't think he's like a representative of...

Oh, no. He's not like the average. No, he's very much an individual of I've never met anything like Thor before. Okay, great. Yeah. Oh, I'm really excited for this. I'm really excited. Thank you so much, everybody, for joining us on our journey through season two.

We love you all. And please welcome Thor, Stenhow. Another one with a fish. Hello. Hello. We've got our... Our guest here. Am I in it already?

You're in it. You're here. You're in it. We'll have done an intro that you, um, you mustn't know about. Oh. And it will be saying, oh my God, we've got our first straight single guy in the studio. Yeah. The end of our second series and you're the first one.

Wow. I feel so honored. Well, we must say why we wanted you as a guest. Oh no. And it's because, um, you and Harriet live in the same area. And when we were thinking like, oh, what sort of single guy?

Like, could we get on who's like a good comic who we like? But like he's single and dating. And Harriet was like, okay, so I have seen Thor, in the park, kissing several women. I knew this was going to come up. I knew this was going to come up. I tell everybody. Because I am just in my local park,

working my dog, walking my baby. And there is Thor in a corner snogging a different babe. No. Every single time I go to the park, I'm just like, hi, Thor. And he's like, Gizzy, kissy. Yeah, right. Bye, Harriet.

First of all, I want to say, as soon as you ask me to come on this podcast, I was like, I bet that park thing is going to come up. Secondly, it's not like I'm always kissing people in the park. Thirdly, it's a great park. you kiss you. It's a great park. If you are going to kiss a girl, why don't you take them to a great park? Oh, I love that. That's nice, actually. And it's often in different areas for the park.

He's got different spots. He doesn't have one specific spot, but it does tend to be around the ducks. No. Because you keep showing up in all of my new spots. Oh, God, she's found here. No. The ducks is the toddler spot. That's not your spot.

Maybe I'm talking to them about the future, you know? Maybe we'll have toddlers. Oh, okay. I think you're talking to the toddlers about the picture. I was like, whoa, okay, thought this is not the nice guy we thought he was. No. I just want to, because you know for some people who are listening to this podcast, they will know me, and now this will be their first impression is that I'm just this guy

hanging out, lurking in the park, being like any single women around and just like kissing them. I have no other information. Yeah. So that's not what you're doing? I honestly don't even know where there's, well, I know where there's rumours come from. From your behaviour. From Harry Kempstley. I have people, people that I don't even know come up to me being like, oh yeah, you're the

guy who's like making out with people in the Brockwell Park. I love a rumour. When I get a good rumor about somebody, I love to spread it. But they never like, like, it's true, Harriet. Yeah, that's true. I've may be embellished. I've maybe embellished slightly. But it's a positive one.

Yeah. It's not like I'm like, oh, I was always crying in the park. No. I mean, I do, I mean, you know, I also sometimes when I write, stand up, I go to the park. I've never seen that. Never seen that. Never seen him with a pen in his hand. Well, I just get like distracted, don't I, you know?

This is not true. I'm just joking. The more I say this, the less it sounds like I'm joking. No, but when I, I actually do have a memory of meeting you in the park where, because sometimes when, When I write, I walk around and I have my headphones in and I pretend to be on the phone. But I'm actually just talking out stuff and trying to find the rhythm. And I have been doing that where I've just been sitting on a bench, talk to myself and Harriet has walked past with your baby.

And you'd be like, hi, Thor. And I'd be like, oh, hi, Harriet. And you've been like, weren't you on the phone? Like, what happened? Because I'd be like, hey, Harriet, how's it going? And you're like, honey, you on the phone? We have the weirdest interactions. I'm just like crazy person sitting there talking to myself.

Next time you see me out there with some girl. I want to dig into the girl stuff. So you're dating? Are you on apps? Yeah. So I actually just re-downloaded dating apps for the first time in four years, I think. Really? Yeah.

So what have you been doing in the four years? Wait. Right back. Swicks. Right about. Ducks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I had this thing, right?

Towards like the end of the pandemic, I was like, oh, wouldn't it be like kind of cool? Like if I, like, it would be fun to like try and not have any apps. So if I want to meet someone, I just have to just like walk up to them or like just meet them in real life. Yeah. Which I think at the time I very much romanticized. And because I was like, oh, that's a cool story.

I was like, hey, guess how we met, you know? You won't guess it. It was on the tube. Yeah, that beautiful romantic story there you can yet. But I did think it would just be like a cool thing to try. And then I did. And I was in like a one-year relationship in the middle of that. So it wasn't like I was just dating for four years.

But I am. Did you meet that person in real life? Yeah. But that was a friend of a friend. But it really works. Like I think like I'm surprised. then not more people do because I very often feel like the reaction, even if people aren't interested, is normally quite positive. Well, I guess obviously it depends how you do it. But like,

you can just like, sometimes you just know, like if there's like, I've been in the pub and like, maybe like you have a couple of like looks with each other or whatever and go to the bar at the same time and then you just start chatting sort of thing. Wow. I think you're just a very nice guy though. I think so, and I think because you're also, you were raised by a woman. So I think you're very, you know the signals. Like, you're just saying that you can pick up, I think a lot of men don't know how to pick up if they don't want you to talk to them. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong. It's not like every time I walk up to someone, they're like, yeah, let's go, let's go park. You know, I'm like, no, we can't go there. You like, docks? No, we can't go there. You know, like, but like sometimes people aren't interested and, you know, that's completely fine. But yeah, I do think I know, I would like to think I know

when people really don't want me to chat. And even sometimes, like, I've just done it, like, where I've just gone up and I'd be like, hey, sorry, I just thought you really cute. So this is my number if you ever want to go for a drink. What? You've got out to someone and said, I think you're really cute. This is my number. And yeah, and then, but then you kind of have to leave.

You can't just be like hovering around. Being like, so, do you think I'm cute? It's your number. And did they get some? Yeah, yeah. I mean, but not every time. But I think like that's also the thing you just realize that like it's like with dating apps. It's like not everyone you swipe or like like like it's going to like you back.

But I do think people see it as like kind of like a confidence thing. Sometimes way more confident than I actually am. But I've always liked meeting people. So yeah. Where are you from? I'm from Norway. I think maybe there's a cultural thing happening here. I think also he has like a positivity.

Yeah. He has like he's like elf or something. Like he just has this thing. he appears and he's just like, he's like buddy the else. He's like the best way, you're just so positive and you're just like, it's great to be here, guys.

You're not worrying about like the bad things that would happen from that. You're just like, oh, it's not knocking your confidence if someone doesn't message. No, I definitely try and be like, yeah, but what if they do message or like try and think about that? Yeah, I don't really think that much

about what if they don't message. Like, it's fine. Like, that's, you know, that's up to them. This is not. That's their loss attitude. Yeah, I think this is what we need to hear because I don't like putting myself out there. But you're also so positive though, Harriet. Sometimes with Harriet I feel like she's like my older sister.

Oh, that's nice. He keeps following me in the park, whatever. Chasing him with my baby. Leave me alone. Stop snogging, though. Yeah. But you do also have that sort of like just happy to be here. You're always in like situations where I'm like, you would only get into situations.

by saying yes to everything. Yeah, I can see that. Or I'm not thinking things through. It's one or the other. But I think that's what's so good. But then I am with dating or anything. Like I am very like, oh, I am just happy to be places like generally, I think. But I'm just glad to be involved.

But with dating, it's like that feels so vulnerable to let someone know that you like them. And so, yeah, I think that's good. I think that's good to hear that. It's just that you like them. doesn't necessarily mean that you love them. You know what I mean? Exactly. And then you could easily not like them.

Yeah. Yeah. And I also do feel like, I honestly think some of the people that I've met like in real life, I'm like a lot of those people never would have matched with me on like dating out. There's no way. You're better in real life you think than I'm dating at. No, I just think it's like, you know, I obviously find them very attractive, which is why I would like approach someone.

They would just get so many messages or like, I don't know. I just feel like it just makes you just stand out a little bit more, right? Of course, yeah. By actually like walking up to someone instead of just like time. I think it's, it gets rarer and rarer. I think these days for that to actually happen. Yeah. Unless it is happening to everyone else and it's just not happening.

Yeah. I'm like, it has never ever happens. That's crazy. And everyone listening is like, it happens constantly. But I also understand like the negative sides of it as well. I remember like I was at like a festival. I was going to the bar. and I walked past this girl and she was so really like cute and she was like so smiley.

And I was like, oh, sorry, walked past whatever. Came back from the bathroom. She was like smile again. And I was like, she's so cute. And like, we've definitely had like a bit of a moment. So I walked up to her again. And I was like, and she was like you again. And I was like, hey, I just want to say, I just think I would really like to go on a date

with you or something like that. And then I think we exchanged like Instagrams, whatever because I was like, I was with my friends and she was with her friends. And then when we went on a date, I remember she was like a bit hesitant because she was like, I don't know you. You could be like a serial killer. But then she said this, I thought it was so funny. She was like, but then when I saw that you were a comedian, I got quite relieved because I was like, if you kill me, you'll get cancelled. I have actually thought stuff like that before.

Like because you're like, oh, but they wouldn't do anything because they love comedy too much. But also, canceled. I mean, I think you mean arrested. I'm going to jail to the rest of your life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, I guess knows who's not going to be on TV anymore. I thought I'm in prison. Yeah, you can't do the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Yeah. That's probably the only one I could do. That's probably a pro, actually, yeah. Bet you more. They're like, hmm. That's so interesting. So, you put her at ease. Yeah, that's a very different thing.

So I think, like, obviously being a male comedian, I think people, people want to have sex with male comedians. And I think people see female comedians and they want to run away from them. Like, I don't think being... I think being a female comic is detrimental to your love life.

And I think being a male comic really rockets you up there. Yeah, I mean, obviously, I can't speak from, like, your experience. But, yeah, I mean, from, like, speaking to, like, my female friends who are comedians, then, yeah, I can kind of believe that, to be honest.

I do think when you are a male comedian, like, you'll get, like, the message every now and then, being like, hey, I saw you at this gig. Like, I would like to go for a drink or, you know. And also, like, very respectful messages as well. Oh, God. It's great to be a guy.

It's never like, hello, big dick. Or like, I looked at you and I thought, oh, you're a mouthful. That's so funny. No, but I'm saying that's not what doesn't happen. That's very funny. But do you know what I mean, though? Yeah, because guys will message them like, you're so hot.

You've got your teeth. Look at your, want to do this to your body. And you're like, hello, Graham. Yeah. I just looks at your profile and I can see that you're recently married and have a new baby. Oh, they always. That's so true. Always picture them with kids.

Girls, they don't really do that. No. Not as much. Because women are, I'm sorry, just a bit better. I feel like you go to gigs as well and then you can just have these like, just like this crazy nights. Living this life. Do you think this is youth or do you think this is? It's probably a bit of both, I think, because I love being in the stage of my life.

Like, I live with my friends, like my friends that I've known since uni. We've always lived together. I obviously love doing sound of comedy. I love, like, going on dates and stuff like that. But I don't have, like, this big void. Okay. That's what I'm trying to say, where I'm like, I need to fill this void with, like, a partner or whatever. Obviously, I really hope that that is going to happen.

And I kind of just hope that one day I'll just meet someone and be like, well, always, Obviously, I want to be with you. Like, this is great. But I don't really have this, like, I need to get a girlfriend kind of thing. And I do think that's just because I quite like my life, to be honest. It's very, like, normal, but I kind of like that. I think this is, like, the time that I was always looking forward to when I was a kid.

I love that. You're living the part that you're looking forward to. I think I am a bit as well. Oh, that's great. It's nice, yeah. Oh, I think I had my bit about 10 years ago. Maybe there'll be another bit. They'll be a new bit.

You know what? I really love my life actually. Yeah. And it's one of the things that makes me think I don't want a relationship because I don't want to ruin this. Yeah, that's not been the best time. But don't you feel like that's like a thing now though that a lot of people, a lot of my friends are saying the same thing.

Like, yeah, you know, like, you know, I could be in a relationship, but I'm just so busy and like I just, I don't want to like sacrifice any time with my friends or this and that. Yeah. Yeah. Something has happened, I feel like, people, like I grew up with like my mom and my dad have never been together. My parents had a one night stand, which is what the whole, my show is called one night stand

baby. So it's by growing up with my parents who like raised me together, but never as a couple. They've never been together. But I think because of that, when I grew up, it wasn't like, you know, I, in my head, I was like, when you get older, you're married and you have a family. It's like, so much of my childhood was spent with like my mom and her friends, you know. I love that. Like we were maybe at the pub, but we went on like little like boat trips. So like we, I grew up in like a kind of summer place in Norway where they're like, we would like go to the beach and we would, you know, do all of these things together.

So I think like that is definitely shaped a part of it. That like when I was a kid, it wasn't like, I was like, okay, when you're older, you have to be married and have this like normal family. Yeah. I love that. I find hearing you talk about that as well, like so helpful. And I think it would be for like single moms to hear that you. seem like very happy with your childhood and that like everything was like good

and you don't wish it was different. No, definitely don't wish it was different. I had such a nice childhood. And obviously we've talked about this before because you were talking about obviously you're a mum now and you're like dating again. But I was like, there was one time we spoke about it and you were like, oh, I don't want to get it wrong.

Being very like, it was my period when I was like, I can't make a mistake again. I have to find the right person, which as you said was off-putting. Yeah. It's a lot of preference. you know? You were like,

could you just chill out a little bit, please, Eric. But what I also meant was like, because like when I was a kid, my parents, like my mom had a few boyfriends when I was growing up and my dad had some kids.

But I always loved that. Like, it was never like a bad thing. And I had like really good relationships with them. And most of the breakups like, you know, Dave would be like, you know, me and your mom have just decided we're going to be friends now. But, you know, we'll still hang out.

out all the time and I'm like, great. And obviously we didn't hang out all the time. But it was so nice and it was like, it definitely doesn't need to be like a bad experience. You definitely don't need to get it right. Yeah. But that's, I think that's so much of what you hear is like negative things and like step-parents being introduced too early

or like them like messing up the chat. And then just to hear that you're like, no, maybe it's more like Scandinavian approach where it's just like a bit more chill and it's a bit more like, yeah, these all brought good things and that is life and things come and go. Yeah. And maybe it actually makes you more prepared for,

the dating world and what human relationships are like because you're not just like, well, I have to meet someone and the first person I kiss, I'll marry and that'll be it forever. You can be like, we've just got to see how it goes and make right choices when they come along and not bury our heads in the sand. I'll be like, well, I'm really unhappy in this relationship, but I guess I'll just stay in it because that's what I've seen.

I think this is really good. Yeah, both your parents are kind of living their truth, I guess. Did they ever try and make it work? As far as I know, not really. So they met when my dad, he was in the Air Force. So he was like staying at this like army base. And my mom was visiting her cousin for a weekend in this place in a way called Starvan, which is like this tiny summer town. And it was in the summer.

And then they like met up. And two months later, my mom was like calling around the Norwegian army. But she was like, I'm pregnant. And I have no idea where this guy is. He was wearing kind of like fatigue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The uniform hair hair. Yeah, he's wearing camouflage.

It was very difficult to see him. He was very difficult to see him. Yeah. But that's literally what happened. And then as far as I know, she then got his address and she sent him a letter that said, one, I'm pregnant, two, I have chlamydia. Shut up.

The double. So rare you get the double. So rare to have the double. But also, how good it is for me, though? They only go rid of the second one. That's really lucky guys. Some people would keep the chlamydia get rid of the baby, you know? At least one of those things has to go.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what you're right. One has to go. Your choice. Circle A or B. Yeah. Send back. It's just a form.

Hello, hope this finds you out. Wow. And then my mom lived, they lived in completely different places in Norway. So then my mom made a decision to move away from like a family because my mom was a student at the time. She was 27. She was doing like a master's degree.

And she was moved close like to the place that my dad lived so that we would have a relationship. And then she hated that. So a year later then she moved to her cousin where they originally met. And then my dad moved after my mom. mom. So again, so they both really like, yeah, sacrificed and made like really unselfish decisions, which was nice. Sounds like really mature decisions.

Yeah. For a 27-year-old to be like, okay, I'm going to keep this baby. I'm going to raise his child. I don't want to be in a relationship with the father, but I want him to have a good relationship with the kid. I'm going to move my entire. Like, wow, what a woman. It's crazy.

I think it's because my mom didn't grow up with her biological dad and she met him later in life. So I think maybe, I mean, I'm not going to go into the whole family tree now. But there's a lot of things like, but I mean, my parents are great. So I think that's like, yeah, that's like the main part of it. It's a match. Are you guys dating right now? Are you asking?

I live too far away from the park. Oh, I'd love to see you in the park, Amy. That would be so nice. I'm north London. So what are you guys seeing after this? We're both arm in arm with Thor in between in the bus, as promenade. I'm waiting to all the school moms. Yeah, I've had a weird day.

We are dating, we are, well, we're trying to date. Sometimes it's successful. Sometimes it's not so successful, but we're having a nice time, generally. Yeah, I've taken the pressure off. It's been, yeah, since our chat, really. And then it's just, like, fun and good. That's great.

Have you ever seen Harriet with anyone kissing? In the park? Yeah. Oh, no, I have. I would love that. I wish I did. Imagine if he had a comeback to it. Oh my God.

And you know what? If I ever do, I'm actually going to film it. And I will never let a slide ever. I've told so many people it's my favorite thing. Oh, do you know why? I start kissing again in the park. And I thought like, can you please stop telling everybody? Also, I'm not always kissing in the park.

Like, you must have seen this once or twice and made such a big deal out of it. Also, I feel. feel like if I now ever met someone and they were like, why don't we go to park? I'd be like, no, no, we can't be going there. Yeah, because I stroll over. Oh, well, well, well, here we go to us again. Why don't we go to Victoria Park or any other park? You have to walk through the park to get to the train station.

Yeah, I live just next to the park. I'm like, let's walk on like, let's walk in the middle of the roads to avoid the park. So where do you go on, talk us through like what your, what your dates are like. It sounds like obviously the park features heavily. No, it doesn't. It depends. Yeah, it really depends.

Like, do you mean like the dates or how I meet people or how the dates? I think the dates. I'm interested to know what like young people are doing on dance. I'm not as it. I'm actually not that like I'm very normal for dates. Like I go for a drink the first time. I kind of like if I'm like, I actually kind of think it's a little bit. sexy to like, this is going to sound like such like a pick me in that thing now.

I was going to say like to pick a really nice place for a drink. But that's not what I mean. But like I actually think it's kind of like sexy to pick like some of that's like kind of like a little bit bougie. Yeah. And like I had this. I had this phase where I used to go to so many rooftop terraces. Yeah. But it's also like you guys like know me like I'm sitting here in a sweater vest.

Like I'm not like. I'm not really like a finance kind of like guy who would go to these places. But I kind of thought it was like, for me, it's fun. I also think it's a little bit sexy. And I also do think, I don't know. I'm just like, this is like a fun thing to do. What do you wear when you go there? Yeah, that's always been a bit of a problem because all my clothes are just like so casual.

No, sometimes it could be like a linen shirt. It could be an Oxford shirt and maybe like loafers. I can like dress very differently than I do now, to be fair. Do you get like nervous before a date? No, no. Wow. Do you get nervous much anyway, though? No.

No, I don't know. I'm trying to think what I... Yeah, I definitely have anxiety. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't get like nervous before gigs. I don't get nervous before dates. But that's what I really like meeting people. I'm like, what am I going to be nervous about?

That's so interesting. What I do get nervous about is. It's like acting and stuff. I get nervous about that. But that's very different. Yeah. Okay. But you seem so comfortable in yourself, which is what's really good.

Yeah. And when you act, you've got to be someone else. That's it. Okay, so you've gone on a date. Mm-hmm. Do you say, like, before the end of the date, like, I want to see you again? Or do you message that? Or how do you end up?

I message it, definitely. So you just leave it. I mean, I think you can normally just tell anyway. And I think, like, on most of the dates, obviously, you get there and then, do you know, I can be a bit bad if all the people are nervous. us and I can be like, oh, why, why is she like being, I can sense it as like, why is she being so like not herself kind of thing and I can get a bit annoyed like in not like openly. No, of course.

How do you mean they're not being themselves? I mean, the thing is like sometimes maybe they're just like not asking many questions or just shutting those, but that's like if part because they're like yes or no answers, it's quite like. Yeah. And I keep thinking, oh, they're not interested. And then I've realized further down the line that like, oh, I was interested. I was just like, it's the first day.

I'm a bit nervous. And I actually think I can be a lot better at having a bit more patience with stuff like that. But I think normally on a date, I would say almost every day that I've been on, during the day, you, towards the end of the date, like, you've kind of like broken the tension. Yeah. And you kind of know how well the date is going. And then I would not always message it. I would be like, do you want to do something next week? because I'd been on a date with someone,

it was like one of those dates were like, this is not going to make me sound good, but like you meet someone, it was like a friend of a friend. Yeah. And as soon as I met that person, I was like, I'm just not.

Yeah. There's something with the vibe, it's just not on. Yeah. But then obviously like, you can't just be like, see you. Yeah.

You're there. But what I was going to say was that I remember on that date, I was like, you know, she was so lovely. And like, we had a great time and she grew up there. So that was like interesting to hear about like the area and stuff like that. what it was like growing up there.

But then I remember at the end of the day, we were saying bye, she was like, so Thor, here's the question. Are we going to do this again? Oh, God, like it's like blind date or something. That's, that's literally what they do on first day. It's where they're like, so we're going to do this again.

That's stressful. But she's asking me. That's so hard. And I obviously knew that, no, but I was like, yeah. Like, definitely. Because that's too hard. That's such a high pressure situation.

You can't say like, No, don't want to No, in the moment We're standing there And we spend like two hours together But I obviously did just mess it It'll be like oh I've had a thing or whatever Oh, can I say another thing

That completely changed my dating game Please So I met this girl at Blue's Kitchen in Camden One time I was out with my friends And we went on a few dates And I really liked her I was actually so cool

We went like figure skating one time Oh my God And this is actually one of the I remember saying to I was like, Norwegian. We're figure skating. Yeah,

that's cute. Not figure skating. But that's really cute. Yeah. The sauna, ice skating. Ice swimming. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. No, we went ice skating. And the reason why we went, when ice skating was because on like a second date or whatever,

I'd been like, oh, I love going ice skating in the UK because I just look so much better than everyone else. And like, I'm not that good at ice skating, but like,

compared to, like, most people here. Yeah. We go, And she's like, yeah, let's go ice skating. We did it on the third day. Turns out she had been a figure skater for 11 years. And I looked so stupid.

She brought her own skates. Yes, I love her. That's not a good sign. And then we, I mean, it was a fun. I just meant like I'm good. I don't need to hold on to the penguins. That's what I meant. Wow.

But then anyway, but, you know, I really liked her. and then I was like, I thought we were laughing loads. It might have just been me laughing loads. Sometimes you're getting that silly thing and then you leave it, like slowly dawns on you. Like, yeah, I was just a bit hysterical.

It's like mode, you know. But what really changed it though was that. So we went on like three days, really liked her. And then the next morning, I got this like message from her being like, hey, I had a great time and I've been really enjoying to get to know you. But for some reason,

I just don't feel like there's any spark. I don't know why. I think you're very kind. You're obviously very handsome. She said that. Yeah. It feels like you're embellishing a little before. You're obviously very handsome.

You're very strong. You're obviously like one of the better men out there. Yeah. Yeah, we want to see this message, though. I love that time in the park. Don't listen to what anyone says. Yeah. But she was just like, she was like, I just don't know why.

But I would rather just be friends. And honestly, that changed everything for me Because up until then, every time I was dating someone, it kind of be like, not that people were ghosting, but they would like sometimes ghost Or they would just be like replying really slowly And then you get a bit anxious and then like, oh, what's happening? Like, oh, I messaged her and she hasn't replied for like two days.

I can see she's online and you know, like you start like going into that. And I was like, wow, that is such a good way of doing it that you're just being like so clear about it. And oh boy, have I copy pasted that message a couple of times. Yeah. I don't know why. You're such a strong Norwegian boy. Interesting.

But how did you feel when you got that message? Relieved, I think. Yeah, I think it's. Obviously, you said gutter that it's ended. But it was such a relief that I was like, well, now I can just move on. I think that the biggest worries normally when I'm like, what is going on. Do they like me? Do they not like me?

Yeah. Why are they being slow replying? Have I said something wrong? You start, like, thinking about everything you did on the date. So do you always let them know? No, sometimes people break up with me. What do you mean? No, but I mean, do you break up with them?

Like, do you, so do you send that message now? Yeah, definitely. I mean, if it's needed. Like, if we've been on a first date and she's not getting in touch, it's clear it hasn't worked out. I'm not going to be like, hi, just want to let you know. I think you're great, but it's not for me. We dated once a year ago.

I'm broke to. But what if it's starting to like, but how did it change it that if they're ghosting a bit or they're like you're not sure, do you then say, hey, what's going on?

Oh, if they aren't. No, no, I don't do that. I just sit with that feeling. Boy, does that hurt? I walk around the park and I think about all the good memories. No, yeah. I mean, that,

I mean, maybe there's something more I could do, but at the end of the day, I feel like that's kind of a bit more up to them. I had this girl, to be fair, that was like, I remember we met, we went to go on a date, and I remember I was leaving my house, like I was outside my door running to get the train, looked on my phone, and she had cancelled. And then I was like, she was like, sorry, I just feel really poorly. And I was like, okay, like, I kind of just thought, well, you know,

you would have known this a little bit earlier. Fair enough. A few months, like maybe six months later, she messages again and she's like, hey, I do still really want to go on a date. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch. It's been so busy. Turns out she worked for Virgin for Richard Branson.

She's been on his island. Yeah. And she's been there for like two months or whatever. What? Crazy. There's definitely a joke and she's used to Virgin. So you're sure.

Let's just get that out of the way. Yeah, let's just get that out of the way. That's not. Loads of girls in the park, so nobody needs to worry about it. Yeah. But then, and then she messaged again and we went on a date. We went on a few days and it went really well.

And I think then I was like really wanting to impress. There was something she'd said like ages ago like about like liking a Norwegian chocolate. And I brought the chocolate. Oh my God. I thought that would work really well. But I did it like such like a, oh, obviously in my head I've been watching a lot of TV and thought this would be really cool. Like we were like spending the whole day together. She's getting a taxi home.

And then I, she'd said something like about like me not having a good memory earlier in the day or whatever like that. And then I was like got out the chocolate. and I'd be like, listen, I've got a good memory. And then, like, the door shut and I always thought that was really cool. But when I did it, it was like, oh, she was like, what? You've had the chocolate all time. And it was like, it was just like not cool at all. But I've just been waiting to do that.

It was just so much of a, I've been watching suits when I was a teenager kind of thing. I thought that's so funny. It was actually really embarrassing. It's such a nice gesture, though. I thought it would be. And then the jar is so jarring. Yeah. It could have been nice if I'd just given it to her.

The fact that I was trying to be like really mysterious and cool, which never had worked in my life ever. I don't know why I thought this was going to work now. I'm not your vibe. But we went on a few dates and then I remember like, we kind of one day where it was like, okay, that wasn't as good. That's the other ones. And then we meant to go on another date and then she cancels again.

But also this is like now seven months after the first time, right? Yeah, wow. And then I didn't hear from her for like maybe two weeks. And then she messaged me and like, sorry I've been such a poo, which I think it's such an icky thing today. Sorry for being such a poo. I just don't think this is working. I was like, I obviously know it's not working.

I haven't heard from you for two weeks. Sorry to be such a poo. And even if I did like you, the fact you've just said, I'm sorry to be such a poo was put me right off. Yeah, thanks, if anything, for like letting me free. Maybe she's just a genius. Maybe she does that with everyone. Sorry for being such a poo.

You're free. You're free to go. I release you. But I think like and I honestly do mean this. Like most people that I've dated, I haven't got anything bad to say about them. But I do think like that for instance, I'm like, you could have messaged Dad after that date.

Like there's no need. I was going crazy. No, I wasn't going crazy. But you know, I... But it's on your mind. It's on your mind. And it's not a nice feeling. Dating is very vulnerable at the end of the day.

Roses are red, violets are blue We've matched on a nap What you up to What are you looking for in a partner? Close to the park Yeah, location Like ducks I honestly think like I'm way too picky

I think I'm just like They gotta be really confident I definitely like when people enjoy their life I don't like if I get a the sense that and I've been this person before when you're kind of looking for someone to kind of like come and save the day and make you happy kind of thing. Yeah. You can tell, like I have a lot of female friends which I think can actually be such a good cheat code because quite often if I'm

messaging people, I'd be like, send them a screenshot, be like, what should I say? People think they're like going out with me. They're actually going out with all of my female friends. With a writer's room. Yeah, there's a writer's room. No wonder you're smashing it so hard. This man was created by a woman. But I definitely like that if I feel like they're passionate about stuff in their life. If I feel like, and that doesn't need to be work. It could just be like whatever.

Yeah, I think that's it and fun. That doesn't sound too picky. Well, you'll be surprised. Okay. Yeah, I think that's it, to be honest. I think it's a great list. I mean, obviously it's fun if we have, like, if we have some mutual interest. I'm sure we will do.

But then values, I suppose. Like, you always have this. But I always like meeting people who are, like, very different to me. I kind of think it's fun. Yeah, it's kind of fun when people are different to you. Like, my ex-girlfriend came from such a rich family. And that was kind of fun, you know? We went to rooftop bars every day.

She was paying. No, but it's like, but like, so for instance, like my ex, she came from like rich family, but like, but also her family was like very right wing. And I moved to the UK and I've only been around left wing people. Yeah. Since I moved to the UK. And I kind of thought that I was kind of interesting because it's like you had different perspectives compared to some of what I think and what are my friends things. But also sometimes you're like, wow, these people exist. You know, like sometimes they'll say something.

You're like, wow. Yeah. Did you just say that? But it is interesting. But obviously, she wasn't like that. Like my ex-girlfriend, she, we had the same values. Wow. And what do you feel about, so you mentioned about,

she's sort of wealthy and stuff like that. How do you feel just in general about paying on a date? Yeah, I kind of, okay, so I'm going to say this. I actually really like paying on the first date. I think that is, again, kind of like a bit sexy. It's going to be like old-fashioned. I kind of like that. I have just received this massive tax bill.

which actually have changed my feelings around it. If I don't enjoy the day now, I'm out of there. I say, go to the bathroom. I run for it. I was going to say, I feel like you're going to get a lot of messages after that. And then they're all like hitting deleted. Yeah.

Doing the right thing. No, but as a normal, I normally do like paying for it. But also, like, sometimes you'd be surprised how often people are like, no, no, let's split it. I insist. But I do think it's quite nice. And then also, if you could normally, like, if it's a good day, you'll keep seeing each other. And then eventually, like, someone would be like, why don't I get this?

And you'll get that. Have you ever had it where they haven't? Yeah. I always find that so interesting when they just never offer. I think it's really, um. I had that with an American girl who came from like, also, so this is going to sound like this is my type now, very wealthy, like American family. Like, grew up in Soho, New York, like a dad.

Her dad is probably one of those people that, you know, like now that Mam Danny has become like the mayor of New York, they're like the top 1% is going to have to pay more tax. He's definitely one of them. Wow. I don't know if it's like a American culture thing. But I always paid. Like I always offered to pay. So it wasn't like she looked at me like, aren't you going to pay? But she never paid. And I just kept thinking, oh, but my mom's a teacher.

And I'm a stand-up comedian. And I'm a stand-up comedian. And I'm not from like a wealthy family at all. And then you were from such a, she went to Connell or whatever it's called. Isn't that the place that? And I'm like, I live with all my friends, you know. I can't afford that. But I didn't say anything.

But I feel like if we had continued to see each other for a while, at one point you just got to be like, hey. So I would love to keep seeing you, but I can't afford it. Yeah, you were like, I'm broke. We can't go anywhere. I'm going to jail. I'm actually moving home to Norway now because I've spent all of my money. I can't pay rent.

My flammates are kicking me out. Yeah, what do you guys normally think about that? Well, we've had this chat. I always pay. You always pay. For everyone. Yeah. What?

Yeah. It's an unusual twist. Yeah. He's pathetic. And I like really hard insist on paying. Really? Yeah. Not even just on a first set.

Like just all the things. time. It's like, and it's like, and it's not like, um, so we sort of like dug into a bit and it's probably because I'm like, I will pay you to spend time with me. It'll be like an insecurity thing, but I always pay like every time. Okay. I'm going to say something now. I hope this doesn't come across as like anti-feminist.

Okay. I would, I, that would turn me off a little bit. Would it? No, I think it's really interesting to hear that. Yeah. I think it's really interesting to hear that. Because that kind of comes to with like the confidence thing and they kind of like, when I say confidence, I kind of also, because every.

Everyone's insecure and everybody has insecurities. I have loads of insecurities. I don't know why I'm so that. We're not going to go into that. What are they thought? What are your insecurities? List them. But there's something about like,

there's something about like, like self value, you know? Absolutely. That's really what you want. You feel like people. Not to pay, not even offer. People know their worth. Yeah, there we go.

Self worth is what I'm trying to say. Oh, I've got none of that. So I'm like confident, I have no self-worth. Because you are very confident. Yeah. Also, you're also like someone. that I never met anyone who doesn't like you.

Oh, that's nice. It's because I pay for everything. Because I'm going around just literally paying for everything for everyone. They're like, she's nice. Amy's the only one that will tour and lose money. She paid for everyone's tickets on the tour. How much did you pay for the ticket?

Mate, let me get that. I'll get it. I'll get that. I'll get that. Is everyone hungry? Is anyone you? Thank you so much for coming. That does surprise me though.

Yeah. No, so yeah. So I'm confident but no, no, yeah, self-worth. So I will always, always pay. Really? Yeah, maybe next time I just wear. But I'll be like, I'll be itching. And then if they get it, I'll be like, I'll be so worried that they're upset that they've got it.

I think first, yeah, of course. But I think first is fine and then you should always offer. I always offer. Yeah. To pay? Yeah, but then if they're like, no, I've got this enough. Wouldn't you even say like, do you want to split it? Like, I would never.

No, I offer to, I go, oh, should we split it? Yeah. That's normal. I think that's like the normal thing. But then I have a friend who's American who's like, you shouldn't even offer. Like you should just sit back and go. Yeah.

But there is the thing though, I've seen it on on Instagram Reels where women are like, we spend so much more money getting ready for the date on like hair, makeup, on all of this stuff and more time. So they should pay. Yeah, because we've spent £100 on like makeup. Before every date?

No. No. No. No. No. No, no, that is a fair friend. We're trawling on the makeup for a day. Maybe that's why you have to change.

I get fresh makeup of every day. You're like, you're right, being like, I'm looking for my date. I can't see, I can see a painting over there. There's a painting, but I haven't seen anything else. I'm just going to start turning up with like a picture frame around. Yeah. And just turn it up and the first thing I say is, I'm not paying. You're paying.

What I would say, maybe. with that is true, but I'm also, I don't, and again, I am just speaking frankly here. I do agree, you guys do probably spend more money getting ready for the date. I don't know if they can, if it always translates into what the bill is. I, I don't know. He's got the double. She's being both sides. Yes.

I wonder I'm skinned. Is that why you started a podcast about this? You can write it off on his dark. Literally. Yeah. That's what I need to do on my tax bill. Dates in the park of free, Thor, you know. Well, why do you think I go there?

I have no money. Spending all on that American girl. But I think that's interesting to hear a male perspective that they would want to pay. I think that's like a nice kind of thing. I mean, I'm not saying that everyone would always want to pay. Like, I feel conscious because I'm the first man here. Either they, because you're speaking for all.

You're not the first man. You're the first single straight man. Yes. Oh, okay, sorry. We've had two of the men on. Oh, yeah? But you're the first single straight man. Well, I'm the first man from the field, you know, from the dating field.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. From the app field. From the app field. And I'm definitely not saying that, like, you always want to pay or, but I do, but, like, you can definitely split. Like, if someone was like, I'll get it, I, and it's probably like old fashioned of me to think that, but that did, would definitely turn me off. Would you feel almost emasculated? Do you think it, or do you think, maybe not you personally,

but do you think there's a worry that if I'm like, like, but you know what? So there's a guy who he's really nice and we've got a bit of a casual hookup thing going out. Oh, yeah. And what I really, my favorite part of the night, which is awful because he's so nice, we have a good time. But I always get him an Uber home. And I feel like an absolute ball.

I'm like. Yeah, but I think that's different. And that is kind of sexy, I think. I know a little bit. I know. I like, yeah. Yeah, because that's like. Well, because you're also like, get away.

Yeah, because I'm like, I get leave me now. I've had a really nice meeting with you. I don't want you to stay over. And I really appreciate that he's got like the bus or whatever to my hat. Like, because he's travelled. Yeah. And I'm just at home. And he comes and sees me.

He's my gentleman caller. And then I'm like, I get him an Uber home. No, but I think that's so different because it is kind of what you say. That's kind of like you, that's like such like a self worth thing. Like like you're kind of in control over the situation. Yeah. And that's kind of like. And you're getting joy from it.

Yeah, you're getting joy from it. And I guess that feels like that's on my terms because I'm like, I want you to leave. In a, like, not because he's done anything wrong at any point, but just I'm like, okay, I'm done. I want my own space now. Yeah. Off you go and I'll make sure I get homesick. Yeah, but even if it's like you guys would hang out for a bit off, right, I still think that's really sexy. Yeah.

And I do feel like that's a big difference to like being on a day being like, no, I'll get it. Like, because that does feel maybe be like, I don't think it's the emasculated thing. I mean, maybe there is a sense of that. I don't know, maybe there is. But I also think, I think it's more the, no, I think it's a bit emasculated thing. And I also think it's a bit more like, I'm so sorry for like, if I wasted your time.

Or like, thanks for hanging out with me. Thanks for taking pity on me. Let me get you. It's that film, but it's that film about like when the home alone kids, he's in a different film when he's a kid. And he has like loads of money and like. Richy rich. Yeah.

It's a bit like that. But also I. I am so aware that I'm being hypercritical now because the other way around, I don't think. So yeah, I don't know. But that is what I would have felt. Amy, we've got to get out there. Do you find dating different over here than it is in Norway?

Yeah. Really? Yeah. In the hair of people are like, oh, Scandinavian. Yeah. I'm just literally because you're here and not in Norway. Okay. No, but people think that's like nice.

They like it. In Norway, people are like, oh, there's Thor again. You know, like, when I moved to the UK, I was like, I definitely feel like people would say that they find me attractive way more often than like when I lived in Norway. When I lived in Norway. I guess Norwegian people are quite attractive. So maybe you're like in Norway, you're like a five or whatever.

And then here you're seven or whatever. That's so harsh, Harriet. I didn't even go that high up in the UK. Yeah, I was like, okay, she said five. She must say 10. at least for the next, because otherwise that's quite a house. And you went for a seven. In Norway, you're like a three.

In the UK, you're like a four. Seven's good. 70%? That's an A. Yeah, seven is three. Seven's pretty good, because you started up five. Yeah. He was saying it about himself.

He just wasn't that big of a jump. But you're still the same guy. You know what I mean? Like, you're just in a different place. I know, I know. And that's fine. I was like, yeah. No, but also I would say,

I would probably say I am a seven. No, eight. Eight. Eight. Let's not do any numbers on any scale. Yeah. Let's do the rounds then. Right.

Okay. I think I'm, I think in Norway I would be. No. No, but I definitely, I totally get that. So like, if I go to America,

people like my accent, whereas here, because it's like a whole accent and Hull's not like the most exotic or sexy players. Capital of culture. Yes, thank you very much But I think like people

I think my accent maybe knocks like Half a point off or a point off for some people Whereas I think if you go somewhere where it's a bit of a novelty It adds a point on So like I can clean up abroad Yeah Scandinavia there is a difficult place to date Because I think it's like

Everyone is like Oh everyone is so tall and healthy and hot Yeah Yeah This is I'd never been called tall until I moved to the UK Really? I'm six foot I never ever been called tall in my life

and I honestly think like that's very often why people think I'm shorter because they're like you have like a much shorter mentality I'm like yeah because I was raised by giants it was the Vikings and then I was like waiting in the boat you know that's like kind of the mentality

that I was raised on that's so funny so in Norway if you're trying to date as I mean it feels insane that like six foot isn't super tall but like if you're just, you know, you're not the tallest Viking. Is it harder? It's not the height, I would say.

I, okay, so here is the difference. And I think this, I love Norway and I'm so happy that I'm from Norway. However, I would say that dating in the UK is so much more fun than dating in Norway. Because in the UK, at least maybe that's because I live in London. But I feel like people are so like, everyone is so like liberal and how very, like open-minded and have like, they're like, you're a comedian. That's cool. And they're like, oh, and you're like, even like when I was brand new, people thought it was kind of cool, you know? And like, they were like, I was making any money of it or anything like that. Whereas I do feel like,

and, you know, we're going like, we're going like, rooftop bars and, you know, like, it's kind of cool. But I do feel like in Norway, when I was in Norway during the pandemic, I feel like people were like, oh, you're a comedian. And they really wanted me to say, I'm an electrician. Or like... Okay. They're a bit more, you know, safer, more normal patterns.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe like, I'm an electrician, and then I own my flat. You're a bit of a freak. Here. In Norway. Yeah, I'm a bit of a freak, yeah. Oh, absolutely.

In Norway, you're a real freak, here, a bit less of a freak, but only slightly less. Yeah. Here, I'm a freak here for different reasons. But in Norway, they're like, also for the date to, like, maybe we'll go for a walk, you know, like that.

Why don't we walk up that mountain? Oh, wow. Yeah. I was just thinking how much I'd like to date in Norway and then the walk up of mountains really put me off, actually. Yeah. Put me off. And also, I did that during the pandemic. Obviously, that was during the pandemic,

so you kind of had to go for a walk. Yeah. I remember going, like, for a walk up and, like, so early on the walk up the mountain, she said something that I just wholeheartedly disagreed on as a human being, something about, like, like, human rights issues in like Saudi Arabia. Oh God.

And I was like, damn it, there's so much. We've got to climb this mountain and then we've got to go down again. Oh, my God. You can't really be halfway up the mountain. You're like, I think this is it. I think this is the top actually. They're like, what about up there? No, that's just the rock.

That's not the mountain. This is the top of the mountain. Gosh. In no way, what's the sort of dating scene like? Do people do sort of casual stuff? Big hookup culture. Is it? Oh, I do want to go to spot.

I'm back on board. You would slay in Norway. Oh, my God. I've got to get to Norway. But I also feel like there is kind of like a big hookup culture in the UK as well. Like, I've never had like a Friends with Benefit sort of situation. But like one of my flatmates, I hope it doesn't mind me saying this. Last week, this girl that he like matched with on Hinge was like, they agreed to go on a date.

And on the day she was like, why don't I just come over to yours and we can just like listen to some music? And he's like, yeah, okay. And she's like, oh, I don't want you to get like the wrong impression. She gets there and they hang out for like an hour. And then she's like, do you want to fuck me? And then they sleep together. And then she's like, I got to go. And like, do you want an over?

And he's like, this is my house. Yeah. And that person was me. Yeah. And this is why I'm on the pod. That's not okay. But that's like a mad hook of club culture, right? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I kind of love that she just. she asked for what she wanted. Because that's very much the opposite of me. But I love that to be like, no, we're not going to walk up a mountain. I'm going to come to your house and listen to music. Okay, we've listened to one walk.

In you go. I just thought that she was like, I don't want you to get the wrong impression. It's like, what was the impression that from, I just want to come to your house, but I don't want you to think that I want to marry you. Yeah, okay, nice. Have you got any dates lined up?

I do actually, yeah. Do you date multiple people at once? Is it like, oh, I'll go on a, on like... Yeah, maybe if it's like very early, like, yeah. If it's like we've been on like a one date. But actually, no, I don't really, I have done that before and I never really like it. It's also too much admin, I think.

So much admin. I know. It's very hard to find the time. Yeah, this is, yeah, this is what's tricky. I've got, yeah, I've got one date lined up with someone that I've been on a couple of dates with before. And then we'll see. But they seem really, really nice. We've had, we've been on two really nice. in the United States.

But it's still very much like we're getting to know each other. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. Are you going to take it to the park? No. I've already taken it there.

However, we actually met in Harn Hill and walked through the park on the way back to mine. That's different. Did you kiss? Did you kiss? We did, but it was so dark. Harriet never would have seen it.
