Do you have a girlfriend?
No!
Love life at the moment is the Sahara Desert... it's dry
100% I believe in romance, I class myself as a little romantic if I could
Okay so Cavan why have you got me here today?
My friend Khalil he's an absolutely awful dater
He is known for forgetting people's names that he's on a date with
No
There has been a few occasions where it's genuinely just a slip of the tongue
or I have forgot, you can't recover from that I'm in the doghouse
he often tells stories about himself being drunk which, you know,
uh
I'm sick and tired of his dating life and I just feel like he needs some more advice on things
Okay so Khalil you've been nominated by your mate Cavan as a bad date
do you know why?
Yes and no. The yes because I feel I talk too much on dates I look at myself
too much on dates
And why'd you say that?
Because I still feel like I have a good date. It's never awkward the conversation still flows.
On whose side?
That might just be my side
Yeah. So how are you meeting the women you go on dates with?
I would say dating apps but I just don't use them I prefer more like
social media sort of aspect
So pass over your phone I want to see what's going on
Have a little look... Oh you're deep-diving?!
Oh this one was actually a conversation... "Drop me your skincare routine I have facials
I have to give you one"
[RECORD SCRATCH]
And I oop...
What do you mean by facial?
I meant a mask
What type of mask?
A face one. Charcoal
Moving on. So we have got some testimonials from
some people who know you what you think they're gonna say?
Just great stuff about me how nice... nah I don't know, honestly I'm dreading it
Alright, let's have a watch
So one time he told me a girl that he was meant to go on a date with that he was busy and got
caught on a date with another girl by that girl
Are you kidding me?
The date wasn't going to plan so he snuck off to the toilet, phoned me to pick him up
and ran out the back door got me to meet him there and drive him away from the date
How old were you? 15?!
It was a mistake! I'm here to learn so
No, I feel like this is gonna be hard work, but I'm willing to work with you
I'm willing to listen. Good.
Fancy seeing you here
Hi
How old are you? I'm 21
Yourself? 23.
Okay so I feel about the same age as me.
Two years difference Is that an issue?
No, that's fine
I wasn't originally from England
Oh were you not? No I'm from Zambia
Oh cool. Amazing. Do you still have family over there?
Loads but they are all sort of spread out
The conversations it's flowing..
It's flowing nicely it's kind of family-orientated
He's doing well but I want to give him a
challenge right now which is, to call him I want him to address her by her name
Let's do it What do you think?
Shall I give him a call? Give him a call.
Let's spice this up
Am I... ? Yea, that's absolutely fine.
Hello? Hello Khalil it's Oloni
Hey Oloni! Oh you're not doing too bad...
but let's make things more interesting you see when I get off the phone to you
I want you to continue talking to your date
but I want you to call her by her name let's see if you can do that, yeah? Yeah?
Alright, bye! Good luck!
He looks like he's shitting himself
So anyway, so have you travelled? Where have you been before?
What's her name? Say her name! Come on Khalil please.
He's trying to remember her name and he's utterly forgotten. He thinking hard
Khalil come on
Is he going to the toilet? He is just going to the toilet.
It's alright.
He's completely forgotten her name
I hope he's not going to do a runner because we all know how that goes
I hope he doesn't backdoor it, hopefully
Oh.
Do you think he's gone to toilet to check himself out?
Maybe
Sorry. I'm back. It's alright. Not to worry.
Um, so...
do you have a girlfriend?
No
Only because when you've been gone you had a phone call by somebody called "Katie my baby"
Ooo
Oh shit, no it's one of my mates. I don't have a girlfriend
That's what happens when you call every woman "My baby"
So what do you do like hobby-wise and stuff like that?
He just completely brushed off that yeah just
I've recently started to getting back in the gym
He still hasn't done my challenge I think should give him a call
Definitely
Hello? Hello Khalil what's going on you haven't done
the challenge. Okay go on go for it all right
He just did it straightaway. Did he do it?
He said my bad Sophie
Something is telling me that when he went into the toilet he had to kick himself
Yes he's had to, he's gone through everything possible in his head
Anyway, nah, it's been really nice meeting you. I've had a nice date.
Yeah, so have I
Come on, give me a hug, I'll walk you out.
So yeah, Khalil was a really nice guy. Thought we got on really well. Then he decided to disappear
His phone rang, and it came up with, like, "Katie, my baby" and I immediately thought they had
a girlfriend. I thought that is exactly not the kind of thing that you wanna see
on the date in the slightest
