0:00:03 > 0:00:06Finding love is hard at the best of times.

0:00:06 > 0:00:11- If you could meet your ideal Jewish person, what would it be? - Not to be insulting in any way,

0:00:11 > 0:00:13but tall, full head of hair...

0:00:13 > 0:00:15- Excellent.- Joke.- Excellent!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18But when you're young, single and religious,

0:00:18 > 0:00:19it's a whole other ball game.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22No sex before marriage.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25In the Koran, it actually specifically states

0:00:25 > 0:00:29that men and women aren't even to be in the same room.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32There's pressure to get married, especially when you're the last one,

0:00:32 > 0:00:34and going to your last best friend's wedding.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Tonight, we're following three Jewish singletons

0:00:39 > 0:00:40on their journey to find love.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43He's a fitness fanatic. I like to eat.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45It's not really in common, is it?

0:00:45 > 0:00:48It's like you're supposed to be together, it's that great.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51But when only perfection will do...

0:00:51 > 0:00:52Natalie has standards.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55I find a lot of people really don't have standards.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58..will you ever find a Jewish husband?

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Physically, they have to be tall.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02They have to be intelligent.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- You're making quite a list here. - That's why I'm single.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07And in the search for love...

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hi, you look really nice.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12..should you put your faith before your heart?

0:01:12 > 0:01:16If Laura was Jewish, how would that change things?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'd probably go over there and propose to her tonight.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21And when dating doesn't come easy...

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Can't you put something on Facebook? "I'm looking for a date."

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Are you desperate?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30..finding the one can change your life forever.

0:01:30 > 0:01:35This is perfect, this is exactly why I believe I should do it even more,

0:01:35 > 0:01:38and what a great day.

0:01:43 > 0:01:4723-year-old Jason Goldstein is a football coach

0:01:47 > 0:01:49and he wants to find a Jewish wife.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Sam, out quicker.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54I'm fully Jewish, both my mum and dad are Jewish.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58He's been living at home with his mum and dad in Essex

0:01:58 > 0:02:01since he broke up with his girlfriend two years ago.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03HE SPEAKS HEBREW

0:02:03 > 0:02:07'Some of my friends are talking to me about engagement and stag dos.'

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm obviously at home or with my single friends.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14I now just want to settle down with that one person.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Treat her like gold, give her everything she wants.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21But Jason's struggling to find a girl who shares his passion

0:02:21 > 0:02:23for the Jewish religion.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26I don't know what his ideal girl is. She'd have to be pretty,

0:02:26 > 0:02:28that I do know. And Jewish.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31I just think if he married someone who wasn't,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34they just wouldn't understand that bit of his life.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Jason knows what he wants, but does he know how to get it?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm embarking on this to find a Jewish...

0:02:41 > 0:02:44I wouldn't say girlfriend - a Jewish wife, really.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47The problem is, he's better at having a laugh with the lads

0:02:47 > 0:02:49than chatting up girls.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51When he goes out, he'll see a bird he likes.

0:02:51 > 0:02:56But he might come across wrong because he's enjoying himself with the boys

0:02:56 > 0:02:59rather than going up to her as an individual.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03What does one do? "Hello, my name is Jason. Are you Jewish?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05"No? OK, I won't buy you a drink."

0:03:05 > 0:03:07That sums him up.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12She is beautiful.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14She's looking for a date, a marriage,

0:03:14 > 0:03:17a long-term relationship, marriage and children.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21For the past two years,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Jason's been searching for a Jewish girl in Essex.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Now he's decided if he's serious, he'll have to look further afield.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Today he's signing up to JDate,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32the UK's largest Jewish dating website.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35My personality is best described as easy-going,

0:03:35 > 0:03:36flexible, open-minded.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40In my free time I enjoy collecting, dining out, gambling...

0:03:40 > 0:03:42ALL LAUGH

0:03:42 > 0:03:45And I'm a...

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Take out gambling. - Yeah.- What do you mean?

0:03:48 > 0:03:52What do you mean, "What do you mean?" You can't...

0:03:52 > 0:03:55People don't look for a gambler.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- You have to...- I'm being honest. I like to gamble.

0:03:58 > 0:04:03- I can't believe it's got to the stage where you think it's acceptable... - I know!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Amazing.- OK, let me finish.

0:04:05 > 0:04:11I like working out, weight-lifting, cricket, golf,

0:04:11 > 0:04:13- horseback riding and soccer. - Horseback riding!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16You might as well put down ballet!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19No, I've been horseback riding once.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Hi, Mum.- Hello.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25What do you think this girl as of your future daughter-in-law?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Pretty girl, yeah.- She's bubbly.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Is she frum?- What do you mean, she's frum?

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Chill out, Mum. How do you know?

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- "Religion - orthodox." Frum. - She doesn't look like a frummer.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38No, she certainly doesn't look like a frummer. He's very central-minded.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40"I'm right, that's it."

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Stubborn.- Yeah, very stubborn.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Let's go with girl number one.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49"Hi, I'm Jason...

0:04:49 > 0:04:51"comma..."

0:04:59 > 0:05:01There, I'm sending this.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Think it'll bring the girls in for you?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06She'll be responding within seconds.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09With so many new girls to connect with...

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Bear with me, let me just send it to another 20-odd.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14..Jason's sending the same message to all of them.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18If I send ten out, five of them look at it,

0:05:18 > 0:05:23out of them five, say, like, two now have boyfriends.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Out of them three, one might reply.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30One in ten. So if I send 100, I might get ten responses.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Let's get a cup of tea and sit and wait.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Cup of tea, sit and wait!

0:05:38 > 0:05:42I don't want to jump at the first opportunity.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Patience. Be patient.

0:05:50 > 0:05:5322-year-old Glaswegian Natalie

0:05:53 > 0:05:56works at the Union of Jewish Students in London.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00On a day-to-day basis, Natalie... attempts to organise

0:06:00 > 0:06:05successful campaigns for Jewish students around the UK

0:06:05 > 0:06:08whilst spending much of her day stalking men on Facebook.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- You can't say that.- It's 100% true.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- She's actually been blocked by a few of them.- Don't!

0:06:15 > 0:06:16She deserves a chance in life.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Stop making me look desperate!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I wouldn't say my standards are high, I think that's unfair.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'd say my standards are strict.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Natalie is the pickiest girl you'll ever meet.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28My checklist for a guy -

0:06:28 > 0:06:33broad shoulders, quite well-built and he has to be ambitious.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36He has to be either a solicitor, doctor, accountant

0:06:36 > 0:06:38or someone who's very highly paid.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43All I know is, they have to be tall, they have to be smart,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46well-educated, someone firm, that has an opinion,

0:06:46 > 0:06:48that wont let me run rings around them.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Someone that's not going to bore me.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54She's still got a lot to learn about men.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I don't think she's ever really had a proper boyfriend.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00She's got to kiss a few frogs before she finds her prince.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04On top of all that, being a modern orthodox Jew

0:07:04 > 0:07:07means Natalie is keen to find a man as Jewish as her.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11She spends every Friday night with her grandparents

0:07:11 > 0:07:14for the Sabbath meal

0:07:14 > 0:07:16and keeps kosher.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19All meat utensils are separate from...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22this side of the kitchen, which is the milk side.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25For me, my husband has to be Jewish, otherwise it won't work.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Even though she's 22, Natalie's never had a boyfriend.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Today, she's going to see a Jewish matchmaker.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38They're normally used by strict orthodox Jews, but Natalie's seeing one for advice.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40My Mum did this years ago.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44She said it was really helpful in nailing down what she wanted.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48You should definitely try it. You've got nothing to lose.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49I've got to go.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Have a really lovely time tonight.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Be open-minded. OK?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- I'm always open-minded. - See you later.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Linda has introduced thousands of Jewish singles over the past 20 years,

0:08:03 > 0:08:07and is one of the Jewish communities most experienced matchmakers.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08What I normally do

0:08:08 > 0:08:10is try to get people married.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14My job is to introduce them with a view to marriage.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I think I do it because it's in my blood.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20My mother used to match people up with the right plumber,

0:08:20 > 0:08:24or the right doctor, and I think I just fell in to it.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31But even Linda could have her work cut out with Natalie.

0:08:34 > 0:08:40So what sort of qualities would you say you're looking for in a husband?

0:08:40 > 0:08:45Physically, they have to be tall. They absolutely have to be no smaller than five foot 10.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- How tall are you?- Five foot eight. - Don't have to be too tall.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Yes, I have a real thing about height.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Why does he have to be... ? - I'm being generous with that.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- I actually mean six foot. - Really? Oh, my goodness!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I have a real height problem.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02You'll probably marry someone who's five foot six.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06No, I genuinely won't. I have a real thing about it.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08You really want a tall guy.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- What about personality? - They have to be intelligent.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yes, they do, don't they?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15They have to be ambitious and have a good job.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Preferably a strong academic background.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- You're making a bit of a list here. - That's why I'm single.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23We might try and cut this down a bit.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28I think that the height thing, I think it should be negotiable.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31It's just not. It's just so not.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34If he's intelligent and aware of current affairs...

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I don't like it, it's a real thing.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38This is going to be difficult.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I'd rather date a 35-year-old that's six foot four

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- than a 25-year-old that's five foot four.- OK.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Is there anything else you can think of?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm trying to think of what I've missed. I can't think of anything.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Thank you for coming. - Thank you for seeing me.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- I hope it wasn't too bad to be interrogated.- It was enjoyable.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56'I think it's not going to be easy.'

0:09:56 > 0:10:01I think she's got very, very set ideas in what she wants.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Thank you very much. Bye.- Bye.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Richard is 27 and works in the city. He's had a string of girlfriends,

0:10:14 > 0:10:18but only a couple of them have been Jewish.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'd describe myself as culturally or traditional Jewish,

0:10:21 > 0:10:23as supposed to religiously Jewish.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Now Richard's ready to find a serious partner,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28and that means she's got to be Jewish.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I'm adventurous and spontaneous, I like to try new things.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35I've just not met a Jewish girl like that,

0:10:35 > 0:10:39and who fulfils the criteria I'm looking for yet.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42'I don't think my family would be too pleased

0:10:42 > 0:10:45'if I married someone that wasn't Jewish,

0:10:45 > 0:10:48'because it's rejecting everything they've taught me.'

0:10:48 > 0:10:50But you can't choose who you fall in love with.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54'If I met a girl who wasn't Jewish that made me really happy,

0:10:54 > 0:10:57'I'd have to think about things.'

0:10:57 > 0:11:00If Richard wanted to marry someone who wasn't Jewish,

0:11:00 > 0:11:01I would be very upset.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05He's always said he wants his children to be Jewish,

0:11:05 > 0:11:09so that means he has to marry a Jewish girl.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Do you think I will marry a Jewish girl?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Yes.- Seriously?- Yes.- Really?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Yeah. Yes, absolutely.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Maybe there is a girl out there that's absolutely perfect for me,

0:11:21 > 0:11:23but I've not found her yet.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31If you go to places where there are more Jewish people,

0:11:31 > 0:11:33you'll meet more Jewish girls.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Richard's come back to Manchester to spend the weekend with his parents.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39There are right no right or wrong places.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43When we were your age, there were loads and loads of Jewish dos.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45When you were my age, you were married.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49True. But there were still loads of Jewish dos and that's where you met people.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50I'm out of the loop.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53You have to make the effort to go to these things.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56You can't just spend life having fun.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58There's no right or wrong time.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01If and when you meet the right girl, that'll be the time.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04You always seem to have something else on your mind.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06First it was your exams, then it was the triathlon.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I'm not sure what it is now.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I do want a girlfriend.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Can't be single for mid to late-20s.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Oh, gosh, it's all so tricky.

0:12:25 > 0:12:31Jewish dating is just like regular dating, but 50 million times harder.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34You're not exactly going to go, "Hi, Jew, date me."

0:12:34 > 0:12:37It literally is like finding that black sheep in the field.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39You know that black sheep exist.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42But the majority out there are white sheep.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44When a person is looking for a marriage partner,

0:12:44 > 0:12:47they're not looking for the most perfect person out there.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50They're looking for the person who's most perfect for them.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55It's been impossible for matchmaker Linda

0:12:55 > 0:12:58to find someone who ticks all of Natalie's boxes.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01But Natalie has made a connection with a guy she met

0:13:01 > 0:13:03at a recent Jewish singles evening.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'm going to give him a call back and organise a date.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Hi, can I speak to Adam, please?

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Hi, Adam.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Good, how are you?

0:13:15 > 0:13:19I'm free next week. Not Wednesday, but other than that, I'm free.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20What about you?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25We could do a quick coffee.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30OK, looking forward to it. Bye.

0:13:32 > 0:13:38Meeting on Thursday lunchtime for a lunch date.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41That's kind of like the friend zone, isn't it? But whatever.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44I've just had thought that the weather might be really bad

0:13:44 > 0:13:48and this could be a disastrous decision. But we'll see.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Do people go on what you're wearing before they even talk to you?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56What do people go for?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Jason hasn't had any luck with the Jewish dating web site yet.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03Hi, Mum. I'm going speed dating.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06So in the meantime, he's throwing himself in at the deep end

0:14:06 > 0:14:08of the Jewish dating scene.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Do I go dark or light?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13He's my daughter in disguise.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16You could wear that on the grey suit trousers?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm putting a shirt on. OK, I'm putting a shirt on.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Bye.- Bye.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23He's a nice boy.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27I'm apprehensive. It's my first time.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm here to hopefully find someone.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33The best thing I could expect

0:14:33 > 0:14:35is probably if all the girls are my sort of age.

0:14:35 > 0:14:40That's what I hope to see the most, someone around my age.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Hopefully, I'll make good conversation

0:14:44 > 0:14:46and they'll tick the box.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's very hard when dating,

0:14:49 > 0:14:50to meet someone Jewish.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53You can't just go up to somebody in a bar and say,

0:14:53 > 0:14:55"Hi, my name's so-and-so, are you Jewish?"

0:14:55 > 0:14:57It doesn't work like that.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59With a room of single Jewish girls to impress,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02all Jason has to do is successfully charm one or two.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05What are your goals and ambitions?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07How do you see your life in a couple of years?

0:15:07 > 0:15:12I hope to be successful in my career and have family and kids.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14I work in football and sport,

0:15:14 > 0:15:17coaching and refereeing being the main thing.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19What teams do you work for?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21- London Lions.- No, you don't.- Yes.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24I've been working for London Lions for the last three years.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27I'll be seeing you more often, then.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Unfortunately, we have to depart now.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Enjoying your evening?

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Yes, it's been interesting. What about you?- Some people are quite interesting to speak to.

0:15:35 > 0:15:41Some others haven't really got any sort of conversational skills.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Always tricky. - Apart from that, it's good.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45What are your ambitions and your life goals?

0:15:45 > 0:15:48God. Um...

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Don't know, really.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I guess just to be happy, to be chilled out.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- I'm a teacher.- OK.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58That has always been an ambition of mine, to be a teacher.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03- What about you?- My life goals are to succeed in my career.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05What career is that, sorry?

0:16:05 > 0:16:08I work in teaching again, like yourself,

0:16:08 > 0:16:14- within PE and outside the schools, I do football.- Oh, right.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- If you can meet your ideal Jewish person, what would it be?- Let's see.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Not to be insulting in any way,

0:16:20 > 0:16:25but I guess my ideal would be tall, full head of hair...

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Excellent.- Joke.- Excellent!

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Personality-wise...

0:16:29 > 0:16:31So looks come before personality?

0:16:31 > 0:16:32No, no, no, no!

0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'll date someone even if they're not that good-looking.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39I hate guys that play games of any kind. That makes me angry.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41That's it, really. Nice meeting you, Jason.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44And you. Have fun.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47They do like me and they did find conversation good

0:16:47 > 0:16:51and they might have a chemistry between us.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Hopefully, fingers crossed now, someone ticks me and I get a match.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Ohh!

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Today, Natalie's on her first date with the guy

0:17:07 > 0:17:11from her singles night - Adam. And he's quite tall.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13She obviously initially likes me

0:17:13 > 0:17:17and I like her as well, so let's keep it natural, really.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20But Natalie has already got a few concerns.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22I think, from looking at his Facebook,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24he might be a few months younger than me.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26I know a few months sounds silly,

0:17:26 > 0:17:29but considering I want someone around five years older,

0:17:29 > 0:17:31someone three months younger is a bit of a difference.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I've added her on Facebook, as you do,

0:17:34 > 0:17:35to find out about her.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I went straight to the photo section, as you do.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40So I do know a bit more about her.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Hi.- Hello.- How are you?

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Yeah, good, thanks. You? You look nice.- Thank you.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Cupcakes?- Thank you. - And a raspberry one.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- You have nine minutes.- I know.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- When did you graduate? Last summer? - I graduated, yeah, last June.

0:18:02 > 0:18:07- So...?- So mucked around a bit. Did some work experience here, there and everywhere.

0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Anything I could get. You need to get that under your belt.- Yeah, I just actually did two days

0:18:12 > 0:18:14this week in a law firm.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17That will obviously help in getting something along the line.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Every bit of work experience helps, I guess.- Course it does.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23And then, you can start trading, or sorry, practising.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's two years of LPC, then two years of training,

0:18:26 > 0:18:28then you can fly.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Is that the actual official title - fly?

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- No, I just made that up!- High fly.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Where are you going in Israel?- Tel Aviv.- We only had one night there

0:18:38 > 0:18:40because we just got drunk.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Do you remember what bar? - I don't think it had a name.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44It didn't have a name?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- It was literally a dump. - Oh, really?- Yeah.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51We all just got drunk on the strip and we were doing the Hava Nagila

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- and all the Israelis were like... - "Why? Losers."

0:18:54 > 0:18:58Just like, "English yobs." Erm, well, Jewish yobs.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00I've really got to go.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- That's fine.- I've really got to go. - I don't want you to get in trouble.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08It was really nice to see you and hopefully we can do the same again?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yeah, definitely. It was really nice... Cool.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13OK, well, good luck with your meeting.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Yeah, thank you. - And I'll see you soon. Bye.- Bye.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- You should probably remember your jacket.- I will do.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Yeah, I think it went really well.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Yeah, Natalie's a really nice girl, very interesting, got a lot to say.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'm just not convinced there's many similar interests.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'm very, very into politics. I don't think he is.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36We've got a lot in common being at Manchester Uni with each other back in the day.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39I just think there's quite a bit of difference in character,

0:19:39 > 0:19:43which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it meant there wasn't a spark.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52I can see who's going to be married and who's not.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54The people who are going to be really difficult

0:19:54 > 0:19:57are very specific about what they want.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00We're never looking for tall, we're never looking for tall.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Jewish men are not tall and they tend to be bald!

0:20:03 > 0:20:07They limit themselves to height, whether they're fat or thin,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09you know, they've got to be good-looking,

0:20:09 > 0:20:14they've got to be well-educated, or not educated, as the case may be.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19Everybody has a wish list, which, really,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22they're looking for the perfect person.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26But, really, the perfect person doesn't exist.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29In the end, you've only got possibly a few people

0:20:29 > 0:20:31that you can actually marry.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Richard wants a Jewish girlfriend,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39but he hasn't been looking in the right places.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44I need to make an effort now to go on dates with some Jewish girls.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48So this is a good chance, a good opportunity to meet a girl -

0:20:48 > 0:20:51a Jewish girl - that I don't know and see what she's like.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53I'm sure I'll have a really nice night.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58Tonight, he's going to his first ever Jewish single's evening.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01When you go to speed dating and you're single, you've got to have...

0:21:01 > 0:21:03You've got to be a bit desperate.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06It's not a very natural place to meet people, is it?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09You're there because you specifically want to meet someone.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11But you've got to start somewhere.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's a way of meeting new Jewish people

0:21:13 > 0:21:16and, you know, they may have friends who have friends.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's a good place to start, I think.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21But there's just one problem - only three girls have turned up.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Hiya. How you doing?- Hi.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Is this your first time speed dating?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yeah, it is. My first time.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30One, two, three.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Let's see the other guys. - The other guys?

0:21:32 > 0:21:36You want to see your competition? OK. OK, that's enough.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38I'm feeling confident. It's all right.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Hello.- How you doing?- Good. How are you?- I'm Richard. Nice to meet you.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46- How do you find the Jewish dating scene?- I don't really like the Jewish scene.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Yeah, I wasn't into Jewish boys for a while.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53My parents always told me, "You will meet a Jewish girl that is different..."

0:21:53 > 0:21:55That's what my mum says too!

0:21:55 > 0:21:56It's so funny.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58BELL RINGS

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I'm Richard.- Hello, I'm Natalie. - Nice to meet you, Natalie.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Have you done this kind of thing before?- No, never.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06What it is for me is like, I'm from Manchester...

0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Yeah, Manchester's great. - Yeah, do you know it?- Yeah.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Do you know any people over there?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Matt Mickler?- Yeah, I know Matt.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19- Wait, you used to go out with Matt Mickler, didn't you? Yes! - That's where I knew you from.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23- I recognise you!- Yeah, I was like, "I kind of know him."

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- You went out with Matt. - Ages ago, yeah.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28- I met you at one of his best friend's weddings.- Yeah.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Yeah, I knew I recognised you.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34When I moved, I mixed with people that were Jewish and weren't Jewish.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36- I think I've kind of lost... - Drifted out a bit.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Because I've been enjoying myself.

0:22:38 > 0:22:44Yeah. So now I feel like I should at least make an effort to try and meet people.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Yeah, make the effort. BELL RINGS

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Richard, do you want to move to the next table?- I'll move on. - Nice to meet you.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Nice to meet you, too. Good luck with it all.- You too.- Cheers.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58I'm going to move up just because I feel... Maybe I shouldn't.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00I don't like barriers.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Do you know what I mean? It feels really formal.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06- OK, I feel better now.- OK, whatever.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10I didn't speak to you for nearly long enough.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12With such a poor turnout,

0:23:12 > 0:23:15it's been a long and frustrating evening for Richard.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19That's how close this Jewish community is, it's crazy.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22There were only three girls there and I knew one of them.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26It's a very tightly-knit community and it's difficult to meet people.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Jason didn't get any matches from his speed dating,

0:23:33 > 0:23:35but will he have had more luck online?

0:23:35 > 0:23:39I started asking a few more girls on JDate.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42More to the point, just asking if they wanted to go meet up

0:23:42 > 0:23:44for a date and I'm now going to check

0:23:44 > 0:23:46to see if I've had any responses.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02No. I've had two more news feeds,

0:24:02 > 0:24:06which I think are people that looked at my account. Yeah.

0:24:08 > 0:24:13But no response to any e-mails, which is a bit of a shame.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18There are some really good, lovely girls on here.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Especially ones that have viewed me, I've read all their profiles.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26Some really interesting and positive girls, but no, er...

0:24:27 > 0:24:30..no replies, so...

0:24:31 > 0:24:36They might not be looking for someone like me.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40They might not, obviously, like my profile, my pictures.

0:24:40 > 0:24:45Who knows? Or maybe they just clicked on me

0:24:45 > 0:24:48whilst they're browsing

0:24:48 > 0:24:53and not actually even looked at my profile. Who knows?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Richard's still searching for his Jewish girl

0:25:05 > 0:25:07and he's also turned to online dating.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10There's one girl he likes the look of.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13She works in marketing and tonight,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16he's going out on his first ever Jewish blind date.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19She's really fit. Absolutely gorgeous.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Now I'll probably be more nervous than I thought.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25I was thinking all bigheaded, you know, not bothered,

0:25:25 > 0:25:29but she's actually really fit. So I probably shouldn't have looked.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Oh, God.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35I've pulled good-looking girls before,

0:25:35 > 0:25:38but Jewish girls intimidate me for some reason.

0:25:40 > 0:25:45Don't know why. No idea. Let's hope this will be different.

0:25:45 > 0:25:50Also, I'm a bit of a klutz and some people find it endearing

0:25:50 > 0:25:55and other people just think I'm a bit of a muppet, so...

0:25:56 > 0:25:58..that is the risk tonight.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Hi, how are you?- How you doing? - I'm all right. You OK?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Nice to meet you.- Richard.- Katie.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Nice to meet you, Katie. How's it going?- Yeah, all right.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I'm not even that hungry. Do you keep kosher?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Erm, I don't eat pig.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Don't worry, I'm not going to order a pig.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- No, you can have it. It's fine. - No, I'm not going to.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Do you keep kosher? - I keep kosher in my house.- Do you?

0:26:29 > 0:26:31But when I'm out, I eat pork, anything.

0:26:31 > 0:26:36- Completely agree with you. - I know to religious people, that makes me a bad Jewish person,

0:26:36 > 0:26:41- but I'm not doing anything wrong by eating pig.- Exactly. - Like, I don't kill people...

0:26:41 > 0:26:43That's good to know. I was getting worried.

0:26:43 > 0:26:48- So do you use JDate much? - This is my third date out of it.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52I went out with a guy, but I don't think he was really Jewish.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54How do you know he wasn't Jewish?

0:26:54 > 0:26:58I just could... No, I could just tell he wasn't Jewish.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00- I won't ask any more questions. - No, no, no!

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Honestly... Oh, my God! No!

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I like the sun. I like to be brown, as you can see.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07If I was prime minister,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- everyone would have to have a spray tan once a week.- Really?- Yeah.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14I'd probably just try and sort out the troubles on the street first.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18What are your views on being with a Jewish girl?

0:27:18 > 0:27:22I've had, like, two long-term Jewish girlfriends

0:27:22 > 0:27:25and one non-Jewish girlfriend and I probably had more fun

0:27:25 > 0:27:27with the non-Jewish girlfriend, if I'm honest.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31- How do your parents feel about you being with a non-Jewish girl? - Not good.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34If you find someone that's not Jewish and you really like them,

0:27:34 > 0:27:39- do you, like, nip it in the bud when it's early on or do you carry on going for it?- Carry on.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Nice to meet you.- And you.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43'I like that he's quite intelligent.'

0:27:43 > 0:27:48I don't normally go out with intelligent guys. I go out with idiots.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52I was nervous tonight, definitely. I'd never done a blind date before.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56We've got very different ideas. You don't have to have a degree in politics

0:27:56 > 0:27:59to know that having a spray tan every week

0:27:59 > 0:28:03probably isn't the priority of a British leader.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08- You going to get his number? - Oh, shut up.- You SO need it.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Really don't think we'll be having another date.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15She's not for me, I'm afraid.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20- How are you?- I'm fine. How are you? - I've got flowers.- Hello!

0:28:20 > 0:28:23It's Friday night in Essex

0:28:23 > 0:28:29and Jason's having a traditional Jewish Friday night dinner with his extended family.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34Before long, the conversation turns to Jason's search

0:28:34 > 0:28:36for a Jewish partner.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Can't you put something on Facebook? "I'm looking for a date."

0:28:40 > 0:28:41ALL LAUGH

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Mum, that's the worse idea you've ever had!

0:28:43 > 0:28:47Everybody seems to put everything else on Facebook!

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Meeting new people in London is difficult.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Especially because you say Jewish people

0:28:53 > 0:28:55and then you have to go to Jewish events.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Having drawn a blank in Essex and London,

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Jason's taking his search to the US in a week's time.

0:29:01 > 0:29:07Where I'm going to - LA, Malibu - is called Camp JCA Shalom,

0:29:07 > 0:29:10where I'm the main person that does the sport for the camp.

0:29:10 > 0:29:14And when I get there, there'll be about 50 girls I've never met in my life

0:29:14 > 0:29:17that will be Jewish so I don't have to ask, "Are you Jewish?"

0:29:17 > 0:29:20I can just go, "You're amazing," and start talking.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Yes, I cant wait.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26There's potential to make a move on them.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28THEY LAUGH

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Wow, look out, girls. Jason's on his way!

0:29:32 > 0:29:36And what happens is, it's like a... It's like a prison.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40- You can't leave... - "It's like a prison, but I love it!"

0:29:40 > 0:29:43ALL LAUGH

0:29:43 > 0:29:46You get stuck in. You can't leave. So if someone likes you

0:29:46 > 0:29:48or dislikes you, you have to get on with it.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50And, actually, that is the best way

0:29:50 > 0:29:54of meeting somebody because it's not a forced situation.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Natalie is still no closer to lowering her standards

0:30:08 > 0:30:11and her search has become a talking point.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14It's handy because everyone wants the best for you and they'll think,

0:30:14 > 0:30:17"Oh, Natalie, there's a guy I know. I must introduce you".

0:30:17 > 0:30:21But then you'll ask someone else and they'll say, "I know him. He's not right for you".

0:30:21 > 0:30:23To be fair, the last time I got set up,

0:30:23 > 0:30:27I did do a Facebook stalk before and realised that it was a no-no

0:30:27 > 0:30:29and when I met them, I was completely right.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33- My impressions from Facebook were exactly what he was like. - Isn't that dangerous?

0:30:33 > 0:30:35He was very nice. But it was true.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- What I thought was absolutely true. - What did you think?

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Personality-wise - completely not for me.

0:30:40 > 0:30:45- I don't know, a lot of people will just go out with anyone, but... - Natalie has standards.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48Yeah, and I find that a lot of people really don't have standards.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50She wants certain things,

0:30:50 > 0:30:54she deserves certain things, so why should she stoop lower?

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Good things come to those who wait.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Hey, Laura.- Hi.- You all right?- Yeah.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03- You look really nice.- Thanks.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Over the past few weeks,

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Richard's been struggling to meet Jewish girls he likes.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09Cool. Nice.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13But recently, he's met someone - a girl called Laura.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16There's just one problem - she's not Jewish.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19I've been kind of seeing Laura for a little bit.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21It's not that serious, really,

0:31:21 > 0:31:24but I do quite like her. She's not Jewish.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28We've not really had a chat about Judaism or a relationship or anything.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31Just enjoy each other's company and having a laugh.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33On the bus with Alex,

0:31:33 > 0:31:35he said something like, "So you like Richard?"

0:31:35 > 0:31:37I went, "Yeah, he's a nice guy".

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I said, "Do you think it'd be funny if Richard and I went on a date?

0:31:40 > 0:31:42"Go on, give me his number".

0:31:42 > 0:31:46And then he went, "I'll let you know something", and I went, "What?"

0:31:46 > 0:31:48- He said, "He asked for yours." - I said the same!

0:31:48 > 0:31:51I said, "What would you think if me and Laura went on a date?"

0:31:51 > 0:31:54I was in hysterics, just laughing, thinking, "Oh, my God".

0:31:54 > 0:31:59How weird is that? Right, it's quite a posh menu, isn't it?

0:31:59 > 0:32:04- Do you know where the word posh derived from? - It was from the Beckhams, wasn't it?

0:32:04 > 0:32:08When all the first-class people used to travel on ships,

0:32:08 > 0:32:11they used to write P.O.S.H.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15on their suitcases because it means port outward, starboard home.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19It's the way they sit on the decks. It's the way that they travel.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Everyone now calls those types of people posh.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25- How the hell do you know that? That's cool.- I told you it was a good story.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28I feel like I'm learning a lot.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Laura's so lovely and she looks great tonight.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34It's easy to get carried away and think, "We're having fun.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37"It won't get serious," but I need to make a decision

0:32:37 > 0:32:40whether I carry on seeing her and enjoying her company

0:32:40 > 0:32:44or whether the whole Jewish thing is going to be a stumbling block for me.

0:32:51 > 0:32:55Very often, when a person is young, a person in their 20s or 30s,

0:32:55 > 0:33:01their Jewishness might not be so crucial in their life.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05I've been in that position where I've been very much in love

0:33:05 > 0:33:09with someone who wasn't Jewish and it's a difficult temptation

0:33:09 > 0:33:12and it's difficult to put your head over your heart.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15The Torah tells us that we're not supposed

0:33:15 > 0:33:18to marry someone from a different faith.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21If you have parents who really want you to meet someone Jewish,

0:33:21 > 0:33:23then that can be really difficult for them

0:33:23 > 0:33:27and you need to identify whether the person you're with

0:33:27 > 0:33:29will be there for a short time or your partner for life

0:33:29 > 0:33:32because that throws up a whole load of other issues.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40Jason is packing for his trip to Jewish Camp America.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Now it's time to get out of this country and look for foreign Jews.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Taking condoms with you to protect yourself?

0:33:47 > 0:33:52- I haven't taken any condoms.- Has Mummy forgot to pack them for you?

0:33:52 > 0:33:55- THEY LAUGH - I'll get them at the airport.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59- Obviously, I'll get them at the airport. That's what I was going to do.- They don't do your size!

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Yeah, my size isn't...

0:34:02 > 0:34:06- It was run out of stock in local areas.- Extra small, yeah?

0:34:08 > 0:34:13English-Hebrew conversation guide just in case I meet an Israeli girl.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17And one has to obviously try and make conversation.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20Obviously, she might say a word I don't know,

0:34:20 > 0:34:22so I can go back to my room and just have a little look.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26Let me check the word single. And how to say, "Are you...?"

0:34:29 > 0:34:32"Malon yakar" - "expensive hotel".

0:34:32 > 0:34:35THEY LAUGH

0:34:35 > 0:34:39I don't know how to say, "Are you single?"

0:34:39 > 0:34:42There'll be 400 young people at Camp America,

0:34:42 > 0:34:47and most importantly, lots of them will be single Jewish girls.

0:34:47 > 0:34:52When you're with someone for three months, it's not like speed dating where you've got three minutes.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56It's not like going on JDate and you've only got a month and you might e-mail someone.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00You've got three months, so, you actually get to know about them,

0:35:00 > 0:35:02their family, what they want to get from life

0:35:02 > 0:35:04and what they are as people.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08I have tried quite a lot of things, yet still I go to America single.

0:35:08 > 0:35:13Maybe my standards are too high, but I'll keep an open mind when I go to America.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16There will be Jewish girls from all around the world,

0:35:16 > 0:35:19so looking forward to meeting everyone.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Oggy, oggy, oggy!

0:35:21 > 0:35:23CROWD: Oi, oi, oi!

0:35:23 > 0:35:24- Oggy!- Oi!

0:35:24 > 0:35:29It's 7am and today Richard is competing in a triathlon.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32His family and friends have come along to cheer him on.

0:35:32 > 0:35:37I'm feeling a little bit nervous. In fact, I'm absolutely ... it.

0:35:37 > 0:35:38Oh, God.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41KLAXON BLASTS

0:35:41 > 0:35:45And it's not just the competition that's making him sweat.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Go, go, go!

0:35:47 > 0:35:49He's invited Laura along,

0:35:49 > 0:35:52the non-Jewish girl he's recently started seeing.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55When I was watching him, I felt really excited.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57I think my cheering helped.

0:35:57 > 0:36:02Richard's having to manage the situation between non-Jewish Laura

0:36:02 > 0:36:07and his parents very carefully. And it's proving a touch tricky.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10THEY CHEER

0:36:10 > 0:36:14Laura came today and I think she looked really, really nice.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17I think she actually made quite an effort as well,

0:36:17 > 0:36:19cos she knew my parents were there.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22They don't know we're seeing each other,

0:36:22 > 0:36:25so all my friends and my brothers were told to keep it hush-hush.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29I think they just thought that she was another friend, like my other friends.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Yeah, I don't think they'd be too happy.

0:36:34 > 0:36:39# It's got to be perfect... #

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Having made no progress so far,

0:36:42 > 0:36:46Natalie's agreed to her first ever blind date.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50It could come to nothing, but it must be worth a punt.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52How do I feel about having a blind date?

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Nervous, a bit of trepidation.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01I don't know if we've got anything in common. He's a fitness fanatic.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04I like to eat. It's not really in common, is it?

0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Hi.- How's it going?

0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Nice to meet you.- And you.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Natalie, right?- Yes.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Tamir?- Yes. There you go.- Thanks.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18How are you doing?

0:37:18 > 0:37:19Good, thanks.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21First blind date?

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Yeah, never done it before.

0:37:23 > 0:37:24- OK, fair enough.- You?- Yes.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27I guess the question is, kosher, not kosher?

0:37:27 > 0:37:31- I don't care if you're not, but I am. - You are, OK, fine.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33- I don't mind. My family are not kosher.- Really?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36My sister throws prawns at me, so...

0:37:36 > 0:37:37Sounds a great, great girl(!)

0:37:37 > 0:37:40Yeah, she's lovely(!)

0:37:40 > 0:37:43He's really tall, so I was just like, "Hello!"

0:37:43 > 0:37:44And thinking, "Hello!"

0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Have you been here before?- Yeah. - Plenty of times?- Yeah.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52- There's not many places to go in Hendon, is there?- Hendon's nice. - It's not.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Well... I'm trying to be nice!

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Really, really good-looking guy, who is really nice,

0:37:57 > 0:38:00and really tall, and normal!

0:38:00 > 0:38:02So you're half-Israeli?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Yeah. My mum's Israeli. That's why...- Less religious.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Exactly.

0:38:07 > 0:38:08Do you go there a lot?

0:38:08 > 0:38:12Yeah, I just got back from there - two and a half weeks.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15- I'm not usually this dark.- I'm going in two weeks' time.- Jealous.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Tel Aviv. Cannot wait!

0:38:18 > 0:38:20First time I saw her, very pretty girl.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21Lovely girl.

0:38:21 > 0:38:26Um... Very good date, very, very good at talking.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29What do you do in your spare time when you're not studying?

0:38:29 > 0:38:34When I'm not studying? I have a really good group of friends, so...

0:38:34 > 0:38:39we go to the gym together, we go on weekends to Paris together...

0:38:39 > 0:38:41I'd say shopping, but I absolutely hate shopping.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45That's the first time I've heard of a girl, albeit a Jewish girl,

0:38:45 > 0:38:49- That hates shopping?- Yeah. - I can't browse, unless I know I need something.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51You want to shop, let me know. I'm more than happy...

0:38:51 > 0:38:54I ask about the gym because I'm a personal trainer,

0:38:54 > 0:38:56so...

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Did you just find a bone?

0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Yup! - Between your bone and my chilli,

0:39:01 > 0:39:03it's turning out to be a really good meal!

0:39:03 > 0:39:04HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:39:04 > 0:39:09Yeah, I'm a personal trainer part-time,

0:39:09 > 0:39:12so it's interesting you saying you like to go to the gym.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14It's good.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17I actually knew beforehand that he was a personal trainer,

0:39:17 > 0:39:19but I don't think he knew I knew that.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22I do go to the gym, I go three or four times a week,

0:39:22 > 0:39:25but I 'm not going to lie and say I take it hugely seriously.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27I'm far happier eating.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Good chat.- No worries.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32I really enjoyed this. It's nice meeting someone new.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Um... I'll find you on Facebook.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Sure, OK.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Thank you again, it was really nice.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40Thank you.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44It's good to know there are tall, good-looking, nice guys out there.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47I had a really good time. She's a really sweet girl.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Immediately put me at ease. He's a really good date.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58Sometimes people go very wrong at the beginning of dating,

0:39:58 > 0:40:01and they don't know how to date, and treat it like a job interview!

0:40:01 > 0:40:04Stage number one, you meet, you talk,

0:40:04 > 0:40:08you realise that here's a person that you can talk to.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10See the person in a variety of scenarios,

0:40:10 > 0:40:12and no spaghetti on dates!

0:40:12 > 0:40:15If you go out anywhere in north-west London on a date,

0:40:15 > 0:40:16and someone sees you,

0:40:16 > 0:40:19your grandparents will know the next day, and they'll be calling you,

0:40:19 > 0:40:21asking you when the wedding is.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31Over in Malibu, Los Angeles, Jason is settling in to his summer,

0:40:31 > 0:40:36running the sports department at Jewish Camp America.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Here in Malibu, I'm the sports director.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44Jason runs sports for over 400 kids every day.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Yay!

0:40:46 > 0:40:48At home you just go through motions.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52You do your football and go. Here, there's a lot more to it -

0:40:52 > 0:40:53the atmosphere is much better.

0:40:53 > 0:40:57It's more exciting - there's always things to do. Everyone says hello.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Hi, Jason.- Hello!- We love sports!

0:40:59 > 0:41:03Over the past few weeks, he's begun to take his religion more seriously.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07Today, he's organising a traditional Sabbath service.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10If we get more than 25,

0:41:10 > 0:41:14we might stand up and do a little standing ovation.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17Sit down, we'll give you siddurim.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21Women, can you sit at the back, please?

0:41:23 > 0:41:26YIDDISH READING

0:41:29 > 0:41:32And most importantly for Jason,

0:41:32 > 0:41:35he's made an impression on the eligible Jewish girls at camp.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37He's great. He never turns off his smile.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39It's great to know that he's there.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41He's a lot of fun. I love him.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44I love you, Jason.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47I live in Israel.

0:41:47 > 0:41:48Where in Israel do you live?

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Tel Aviv. Woo-hoo!

0:41:51 > 0:41:54I'm Zoe Wilson. I live in California.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57I think that British people are great.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01I know he's met a couple of girls that he's interested in.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03He's not a bad-looking chap.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Thank you very much.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08'There are some girls here that I'd love to take out -

0:42:08 > 0:42:10'plenty of girls I'd like to see again.'

0:42:10 > 0:42:13One girl Jason likes is Emma.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Do you want to be with someone Jewish?

0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Yeah, I want to be with someone Jewish.- Why?

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Because they have the same background as me,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30and it'll be easier when we get married...

0:42:30 > 0:42:32to live together.

0:42:32 > 0:42:37Handily enough, Emma lives a few miles away from Jason in North London.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40I've connected well with Emma.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43You come away to Malibu and meet someone 30 minutes away from you

0:42:43 > 0:42:46who believes in the same things -

0:42:46 > 0:42:48same ideas in life,

0:42:48 > 0:42:50have the same things in common,

0:42:50 > 0:42:53and...

0:42:53 > 0:42:56it's like you're supposed to be together. It's that great.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59I've found a lot of people that I really connect with,

0:42:59 > 0:43:02and a lot of people that I'd love to take out

0:43:02 > 0:43:04and get to know more outside the camp.

0:43:04 > 0:43:09So I've just now got to try and see if I can do something about that.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17Good to see you. Are you all right?

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Yeah. How are you? Are you all right?

0:43:19 > 0:43:23Richard's now been on a few dates with non-Jewish Laura

0:43:23 > 0:43:26and things could be starting to get serious.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29Today he's meeting up with his best friend Pete for a heart-to-heart.

0:43:29 > 0:43:30What's going on?

0:43:30 > 0:43:33On the girl scene, there is one in particular

0:43:33 > 0:43:36who you've met a couple of times. She's really nice.

0:43:36 > 0:43:37Yeah, she is nice.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40She's pretty, good-looking, really outgoing.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43She's almost perfect - but she's not Jewish.

0:43:43 > 0:43:47I've been there before, I've had non-Jewish girlfriends and they've been amazing,

0:43:47 > 0:43:50but we're getting older - the next one could be the one I'll marry.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53Otherwise, why are you wasting time?

0:43:53 > 0:43:56Who do you think's putting that pressure on you?

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Are you deciding that yourself? That your big one needs to be Jewish?

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Or is that something your parents..?

0:44:01 > 0:44:03It's almost a self-inflicted pressure.

0:44:03 > 0:44:07All my friends say that I fall in love easily and they take the micky,

0:44:07 > 0:44:08and I get really upset.

0:44:08 > 0:44:11I've seen this girl about six, seven times.

0:44:11 > 0:44:16Normally, I would be head over heels over her and she is an amazing girl,

0:44:16 > 0:44:20but I'm being very... sensible about it.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22We're not even together officially.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25I've just seen her. We've had a good time together.

0:44:25 > 0:44:30That's not a conscious decision, it's just... It's just the way it is.

0:44:30 > 0:44:33So if Laura was Jewish, how would that change things?

0:44:33 > 0:44:37I'd probably go over there and propose to her tonight.

0:44:42 > 0:44:45It's been a few days since personal trainer Tamir met Natalie

0:44:45 > 0:44:50for her perfect date - the first and only man to tick a lot of her boxes.

0:44:50 > 0:44:54It was enjoyable, it was a really good date, really easy-going,

0:44:54 > 0:44:58really good conversation, it wasn't awkward at all,

0:44:58 > 0:45:01and she held her own, she had a good personality, obviously.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04It was nice. She's a lovely girl.

0:45:04 > 0:45:08She's very similar to me in terms of my religious level.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11She's a little bit more religious than I am, and I prefer that.

0:45:11 > 0:45:15But will he ask her out again?

0:45:15 > 0:45:16You can tell with certain people.

0:45:16 > 0:45:21Sometimes they're more suited to be friends than anything more and I think that was the case.

0:45:21 > 0:45:25Because she's a nice girl, and I got on well with her, it would be a shame not to stay in touch

0:45:25 > 0:45:29so I'm definitely going to be adding her on Facebook.

0:45:29 > 0:45:30And done.

0:45:30 > 0:45:34So hopefully she will add me on Facebook

0:45:34 > 0:45:38and we can see where it goes from there.

0:45:38 > 0:45:42In Hendon, with only a Facebook friend request to show,

0:45:42 > 0:45:44Natalie's putting on a brave face.

0:45:44 > 0:45:47Physically, he ticks every single box.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51He said he'd add me on Facebook, and he did add me on Facebook.

0:45:51 > 0:45:54But I'm OK.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56It's just one of those things.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58So what now, then?

0:45:58 > 0:46:02Now I'm going to Israel for two weeks, that's what the future holds.

0:46:02 > 0:46:06The future holds... five, six million Israelis.

0:46:10 > 0:46:14Richard is still pursuing his ideal Jewish girl, but after four months,

0:46:14 > 0:46:17he can't find anyone he likes.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20These are all the girls that viewed me.

0:46:20 > 0:46:24I'm struggling to find one that I want to talk to.

0:46:24 > 0:46:28But he does have feelings for Laura and that makes things complicated.

0:46:28 > 0:46:32I'm still doing the right things I'm still going on JDate,

0:46:32 > 0:46:36I'm still going to Jewish parties and I can't see any Jewish girls

0:46:36 > 0:46:38out there that I like or I want to be with.

0:46:38 > 0:46:42There's Laura on the other side, who's absolutely stunning,

0:46:42 > 0:46:45I have such a laugh with her. But she's not Jewish.

0:46:45 > 0:46:48So you're saying, I've got to be single now...

0:46:48 > 0:46:50I can't be happy.

0:46:53 > 0:46:54It annoys me.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58Like, yeah, all the pressure that's put on.

0:46:58 > 0:47:02I always said that I want to marry a Jewish girl.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05But I know that I really like Laura and I enjoy spending time with her.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07It's just such a tough one.

0:47:11 > 0:47:16Jason's back from America, and today he's meeting up with Emma,

0:47:16 > 0:47:19one of the girls he liked from camp, and her friend Pippa.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22I can't wait to see them.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25They're different girls, the girls around where I live in Essex,

0:47:25 > 0:47:28their values, traditions, what they want in life.

0:47:28 > 0:47:32What they're getting with their Jewish side of things is a lot, lot more.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34North London!

0:47:35 > 0:47:37I got chicken in me mouth.

0:47:37 > 0:47:42Jason doesn't know what Emma thinks, but he knows how he feels.

0:47:42 > 0:47:47Emma is beautiful. She has everything going for her.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49She'd be the perfect wife for anybody.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52Me and Jason, we, like really bonded in America,

0:47:52 > 0:47:55we had really nice chats and we have the same views.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58He's very, like... He makes lots of jokes

0:47:58 > 0:48:02and everything he says kind of has, like, an innuendo-type meaning.

0:48:02 > 0:48:04- Hello!- Hello! How are you?

0:48:04 > 0:48:07- I'm good. How are you? - I'm good. It's been a while.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10- I know. How you been? - I'm good. I missed you.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12- And you.- I missed you, Jase!

0:48:12 > 0:48:15- I missed you too. - Oh, how have you been?

0:48:15 > 0:48:18- Good. Yourself?- Good.- Fantastic.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20- Shall we get a drink? - Yeah, let's do that.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Are you going back to camp next year?

0:48:22 > 0:48:26I think I might go back. I've applied to take Israel Tour.

0:48:26 > 0:48:29But if I don't get it, then I'd seriously consider going back.

0:48:29 > 0:48:34- Are you going to go back?- Possibly if the same English people go back.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37Do you ever come up to our universities?

0:48:37 > 0:48:41Yeah. That's cos I'd want to see you.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45Come to Shabbat with me. They do amazing Friday night dinners.

0:48:45 > 0:48:49It's like £3 or something for four courses.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Challah, like, get your chicken soup.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Where, at JSOC?

0:48:53 > 0:48:55Yeah, in Manchester.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58- Maybe take a trip up north. - Yeah! Why not?

0:48:58 > 0:49:02Come up north and go on a university stop tour.

0:49:02 > 0:49:05Then I'd come with you to Birmingham and we could go out clubbing.

0:49:05 > 0:49:08What sort of people am I there to try and look at?

0:49:08 > 0:49:11Am I just coming to, like, see you?

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Am I going for, like, to meet someone?

0:49:14 > 0:49:17- If you want to go to meet someone... - If you meet someone, it's a bonus.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19We could introduce you to our friends.

0:49:19 > 0:49:23- I'm coming.- Sorted, then. - You know I'll come.- I don't.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27There's loads of nice Jewish girls in Birmingham, Manchester.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30I hope he comes visit. We'll have fun if we all go out together.

0:49:30 > 0:49:34My friends would love it. I'll make him come up. It'll be fun.

0:49:34 > 0:49:37With Emma seeming keener to match Jason with her friends,

0:49:37 > 0:49:39he puts on a brave face.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41It was great to catch up.

0:49:41 > 0:49:45There's probably nothing between me and them both,

0:49:45 > 0:49:47but, who knows? If I take a trip to their university

0:49:47 > 0:49:50and meet some of their friends...

0:49:50 > 0:49:52If you look at them and you see how great they are

0:49:52 > 0:49:54and how fantastic they are,

0:49:54 > 0:49:57I'm guessing their friends are exactly the same,

0:49:57 > 0:49:59so I'll go to their universities, go out,

0:49:59 > 0:50:02enjoy myself and hopefully meet some of their friends in the process.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10At midnight tonight, Laura will turn 26.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13We're going to have a nice meal, have a drink.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15It's kind of quite a big gesture,

0:50:15 > 0:50:17considering we're not officially together.

0:50:17 > 0:50:19We're not officially an item.

0:50:19 > 0:50:22Despite all his concerns about finding a Jewish girl,

0:50:22 > 0:50:25Richard seems to have fallen for Laura.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27I've let myself grow quite fond of her.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31It wasn't meant to happen but she's a great girl.

0:50:31 > 0:50:36At same time, I've got this conflicting opinion in my head about what to do,

0:50:36 > 0:50:38cos she is absolutely amazing.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40It is getting a little bit more serious.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42Hi, Laura.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44'I'm not here this weekend, I'm going to see my family,'

0:50:44 > 0:50:48so I'll have some time to think, a bit of time apart, which will do me good.

0:50:48 > 0:50:52So we're going to have a nice meal, aren't we?

0:50:52 > 0:50:54Hopefully, a cocktail at some point.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Yeah, and tomorrow, when it's my actual birthday,

0:50:56 > 0:50:58are you going to come to the party or not?

0:50:58 > 0:51:00I can't cos I'm driving home.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02You could go on Saturday morning.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05You'll be with your friends on Friday so...

0:51:05 > 0:51:09But I don't mind if you're there. Why don't you want to be there?

0:51:09 > 0:51:12I do want to be there. I would love to be there.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16'He's taking me out for dinner tonight, which is really nice,'

0:51:16 > 0:51:20but I don't know if he'll be here on my actual birthday tomorrow or not.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23- Happy birthday, Laura. - Cheers. Thank you.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26- 26!- Thanks! Thanks!- It's a good age.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28I do like him, he's really funny.

0:51:28 > 0:51:30We get on really well. We have a good time.

0:51:30 > 0:51:33- It sounds like quite a cool age. - It's the best age, I think.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36'I have got her a few presents, actually.'

0:51:36 > 0:51:39The main thing is the card. I've written to her,

0:51:39 > 0:51:45saying I do have strong feelings for her and whatever happens with us, just stay happy.

0:51:53 > 0:51:58After four months of searching, Natalie is still no closer to finding her perfect man,

0:51:58 > 0:52:03but she has at least learnt something from the experience.

0:52:03 > 0:52:06I've seen a massive change in you.

0:52:06 > 0:52:11Before you would never have plucked up the courage to ask someone out on a date,

0:52:11 > 0:52:13or even, like, accepted a date with someone else.

0:52:13 > 0:52:17Before I'd want to know everything about them, beforehand,

0:52:17 > 0:52:21and if they didn't fit this picture I had in my mind,

0:52:21 > 0:52:22then I wasn't interested.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25It's actually something my mum said to me years ago.

0:52:25 > 0:52:30She said there's no point getting into a long-term relationship if you're not going to marry them.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33I then began to think, "Well, why would I go out with them?"

0:52:33 > 0:52:36But there's a massive difference between dating someone

0:52:36 > 0:52:38and having a serious relationship.

0:52:38 > 0:52:42And I've begun to recognise the stages so now I'm much more chilled.

0:52:42 > 0:52:43So, yeah.

0:52:45 > 0:52:48Jason's spent the last six months messaging, speed dating,

0:52:48 > 0:52:52and being told, "I just want to be friends."

0:52:52 > 0:52:54But for the first time in two years,

0:52:54 > 0:52:57he's finally got himself a Jewish date.

0:52:57 > 0:53:01I'm feeling positive. The reason why is that she said yes to the date,

0:53:01 > 0:53:02so that's a good first step

0:53:02 > 0:53:06and hopefully I'm not too boring for her,

0:53:06 > 0:53:07and she gets to like me.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10And now that I've got time to speak to her alone

0:53:10 > 0:53:12in an environment where we can get to know each other,

0:53:12 > 0:53:16I'm looking forward to it, to see what the future holds here with her.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19Hello. How are you?

0:53:19 > 0:53:20- Good.- Nice to see you.

0:53:20 > 0:53:23- You look great.- Thank you.

0:53:23 > 0:53:24Cheers.

0:53:24 > 0:53:25- L'chaim.- L'chaim.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29What about religious...Judaism?

0:53:29 > 0:53:32Would you do anything?

0:53:32 > 0:53:36I don't know where I'd put myself. I have my own beliefs

0:53:36 > 0:53:37and way of practising them.

0:53:37 > 0:53:42- What about you religiously? - I classify myself as orthodox.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44But my home isn't religious.

0:53:44 > 0:53:46This is my new regime.

0:53:46 > 0:53:49Every Friday afternoon I'm going to bake a challah

0:53:49 > 0:53:51and, like, that would be my contribution to Shabbat.

0:53:53 > 0:53:57Anyway, it didn't really go to plan as I expected, but...

0:53:57 > 0:53:58You made it?

0:53:58 > 0:54:02Yeah. And it looked like a loaf of bread.

0:54:02 > 0:54:07And then I got home the next day and they threw it out to the birds.

0:54:07 > 0:54:08Oh, no!

0:54:08 > 0:54:12And they were laughing that the birds aren't even eating it cos the challah's so bad!

0:54:12 > 0:54:19- Oh, no.- So that's the sort of stuff I've got to deal with. But...

0:54:19 > 0:54:21I have to ask you a question.

0:54:21 > 0:54:22Please.

0:54:22 > 0:54:25How did this happen?

0:54:25 > 0:54:26Oh! OK. That's a nice one.

0:54:26 > 0:54:31I tripped and I went through a single glass panelled door,

0:54:31 > 0:54:35and then the jagged edges cut me

0:54:35 > 0:54:40and slit me open from here to halfway down my chest.

0:54:40 > 0:54:41Woah.

0:54:41 > 0:54:46I then collapsed on the floor. I was shaking, I was fitting.

0:54:46 > 0:54:49On the way to the hospital, I started to lose a lot of blood.

0:54:49 > 0:54:54I got there and the doctor said to my dad, "Do you want a rabbi present?"

0:54:54 > 0:54:56because they thought I wouldn't come back.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59It gave me a completely different outlook onto life,

0:54:59 > 0:55:02but it has prevented me getting jobs.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05I also believe it prevents me getting girls.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07I like it.

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Oh, that's lovely. Thank you.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11And...that's great.

0:55:11 > 0:55:16Anyway, maybe I could cook you one of my famous challahs.

0:55:16 > 0:55:20Yeah, I'd like the challah. I'd like the challah. Sure.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22It was really nice.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24I'm going to leave with a smile on my face and think,

0:55:24 > 0:55:29it's possibly, like, one of the best times I've had.

0:55:31 > 0:55:36In the past, I haven't really taken time out

0:55:36 > 0:55:39and go and speak to girls and take them on dates

0:55:39 > 0:55:43or give them the time to get to know them better.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45And it's something that I've started to do.

0:55:45 > 0:55:50It's something that, I think, at the age I am, I need to do more.

0:55:50 > 0:55:52And this is perfect.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55This is exactly why I believe I should do it even more.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57And...

0:55:57 > 0:55:58What a great date.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25# If you want to be happy for the rest of your life

0:56:25 > 0:56:28# Never make a pretty woman your wife

0:56:28 > 0:56:30# So from my personal point of view

0:56:30 > 0:56:33# Get an ugly girl to marry you

0:56:33 > 0:56:35# A pretty woman makes her husband look small

0:56:35 > 0:56:38# And very often causes his downfall

0:56:38 > 0:56:41# As soon as he marries her then she starts

0:56:41 > 0:56:44# To do the things that will break his heart

0:56:44 > 0:56:46# But if you make an ugly woman your wife...#
