20-year-old Lewis is scaring away potential partners by talking wedding plans on date one!

Can relationship expert Oloni help 20-year-old hopeless romantic Lewis get a second date and stop him scaring away potential partners by planning their wedding on date one?

Cardiff-based hopeless romantic Lewis just can’t help hearing wedding bells and talking through future life plans on date one, but that’s not the only obstacle to him getting a second date. If he’s not ranting about his exes, he’s zoning out mid-conversation, leaving his dates lost for words and never calling them again. 

Tired of listening to yet another of his first-date failures, Lewis’s best mate Megan thinks it’s time for an intervention, so she enlists the help one of Gen Z’s sassiest sex and relationships experts, Oloni, to drop some hard home truths on 20-year-old Lewis to try to end the bad habits that send his dates running for the hills. 

Oloni gives Lewis a reality check as his friends and exes tell it how it is via video feedback, explaining where it’s all going wrong. Oloni and Megan watch on as Lewis goes on a series of first dates that will challenge him to rethink his dating behaviour and become a better dater. Can Lewis ditch the wedding planning, stop raking up stories about his exes and focus on the conversation long enough to prove he can be a good date?
