Better Date Than Never on ABC – Tonight, the dating journey continues for our participants. Kento struggles with interesting topics to engage his date with as he navigates the awkward silences. The specifics of his Hot Wheels car collection could be a deal breaker for Madeleine.
We meet Jack, a humorous 21-year-old from Perth. He’s craving a genuine connection with someone special and has never dated before. He has Cerebral Palsy and describes himself as resembling a “praying mantis cowboy man”. His belief that any romantic interests would see him as a burden has held him back and he has never been on a date. It’s now time to take on those fears headfirst as he steps out on a blind date.
Di’s long-awaited date finally happens. She is enthralled as she meets Alida, who regales her with stories of her adventurous life, far from the quiet world of Di’s farm.
Liv survived her ‘meet the parents and the neighbours’ moment and has relaxed into her special date with Ben at a local Greek restaurant. Now the young couple need to consider how they will cope with a temporary separation.
And Asher has put aside her textbooks and bible momentarily to take some time to focus on another part of her life. She is well on track with goals for her mind and soul but it’s time for another chapter – her heart. Bolstered with encouragement from her Papuan sisters who are at her side to help with makeup and wardrobe, Asher is ready to set foot into the completely new and novel world of dating.
