On the day of love, host Sergio and bartender Victor opened their First Dates-restaurant tonight for celebrity bachelors who went looking for the perfect date with Cupid. That led to memorable conversations, strange outpourings, a few ricochets, but also budding romance.
–
Former PowNedreporter Dennis Schouten (25) was nervous. His ideal woman? Well, blond and slim. But above all, she must challenge him. “That I go after her, not the other way around. Then things quickly go wrong ”, said Dennis with his famous Twente accent, just before his date Romee entered. The 22-year-old restaurant manager seemed to have fooled Dennis’ wish list. Conversely, Romee also seemed delighted with the rough shell. “I like a tough guy who is not afraid and just dares to do things. And sexual attraction is very important to me, ”said the blonde prior to her date.
–
After exchanging some experiences, in which Dennis spoke candidly about the difficult relationship with his mother and his fear of commitment, it soon turned to sex. Romee confessed that she is not yet very experienced when it comes to relationships, but she was struggling and had ‘a lot of sex’. If Dennis was intimidated by her frankness, he didn’t show it. Instead, he took it a step further. “Although a hair growth drug for baldness once turned out to be a libido killer, so sex didn’t get much of it. I don’t use those tablets anymore. ” Romee wanted to know if Dennis had safe sex in any case. Not always. Whether she had ever had a sexually transmitted disease? “I’m not going to talk about STDs here,” said Romee resolutely. Whether she did other fun things. ,,I’m riding a horse.” “Oh, how nice.”

And so the fire went out before it had become a flame. When asked after dinner whether the two would like to see each other again, both agreed that everything at the table had been pretty much discussed.

“I think you are really pretty!”
Those who seemed to run out of time, on the other hand, were former BNN presenter and now self-employed entrepreneur Zarayda Groenhart (38) and her date Patrick (29). Already at the first meeting at the bar it was clear that the two were happy with a dinner. Zarayda clearly had exactly the effect on Patrick that he described beforehand as the moment when you spot a beautiful woman and think: wow! She was not a stranger to him because of her television work, but that she was so beautiful up close …
–
“I think you are really handsome!” is his enthusiastic answer to her direct question to him if he likes her. The swooning has then officially started. Patrick’s openness and social involvement through theater making proved to be an icebreaker. Exactly what Zarayda looks for in a man, as she had indicated beforehand. And otherwise his golden tooth. “Where I grew up in Hoorn, everyone ran with a golden tooth. Dreadlocks, gold teeth, these are elements that belong to the Caribbean cultures, but about which there is a prejudice ”, says Zarayda. “I think such a golden ‘freedom stand’ is really fantastic.”
–
And then suddenly there was the well-known box with the bill; the time was up. Whether the two wanted to see each other again? Both answered with a resounding ‘yes’. “I think it could be nice to finish the conversation again, yes …”, said Zarayda. Host Sergio thinks so too. After the two left the restaurant, he confided with a knowing look to bartender Victor that as far as he was concerned, these two still have plenty to discuss …

Sauerkraut creates a bond
Stylist Bastiaan van Schaik (51) and his date Patrick (51) also like to see each other again. The two men had found enough common ground for a follow-up date. Bed consultant Patrick also turned out to have the same aversion to sauerkraut as Bastiaan, which of course immediately created a bond. “Yes, I think that’s so 1970s, sauerkraut”, said Bastiaan. “The smell is already making me sick.” In addition to lightheartedness, there was room for serious conversations, in which Patrick spoke about his father who recently died of corona and his mentally disabled sister, whom he tries to take care of as well as his mother is no longer alive. Bastiaan, looking for someone who for once not only ‘is very handsome’, but above all ‘very smart’ seems to have found a nice challenge in Patrick, so the men want to see each other again.

‘He has the perfect teeth’
Sophie Hijlkema (28) and 31-year-old e-commerce strategist Sander got off to a nervous start, but something immediately bubbled up. “We clicked well”, said Sander. Sophie immediately fell for his laugh. “He really has the perfect teeth.” Sander had to admit that he had no idea who she was and what Sophie does. On the radio? Oh. Sander immediately found her ‘super interesting’ and afterwards indicated that a next date is good for him. Sophie, who has now completed a number of self-help books about love, she admitted over dinner, agreed. “Only that is not possible in the pub so we will have to come up with something else”, said the radio jock.
–
Sander couldn’t be happier. “It was also over much faster than I thought, that was a good sign.” Sophie was also enthusiastic. “I think we still have enough to discuss.”

‘I don’t feel any attraction’
The other arrow that bounced off tonight is the one Cupid shot at Miryanna van Reeden and her date Enrico. For a moment it seemed that the 49-year-old economist and the 53-year-old actress had found each other, but no. “I didn’t feel any attraction”, said Miryanna afterwards. “I think that is just as clear to you?” she said, looking sideways questioningly.
–
He seemed to have started so energetically, once at the table. The fact that Enrico initially knew absolutely nothing about her television work, for example, the actress liked. “I’m not Halina Reijn either, you know.” (He knew that one again). But in the end Enrico couldn’t convince her with his charms, despite a few common interests such as cooking. “I said yes to a follow-up”, said Enrico after dinner. “I would have liked to get to know you better.” Unfortunately, no match. A kiss from Miryanna, on the plexiglass wall between them.
