In this clip, sparks fly when Dani meets her first match, Solomon, out for drinks. Their sweet interaction shows how smitten the two are right off the bat. Check out their first date, below.

Cook provides the love-seekers with practical skills to help them navigate what can be a confusing experience for anyone, boosting their confidence as they embark on their romantic journeys.

The series, produced by Northern Pictures, aims to teach us all lessons in love, romance, intimacy, and acceptance by humanizing and celebrating neurodivergent love-seekers and giving audiences genuine and authentic people to root for. The series highlights the diversity of the autism spectrum and showcases how the search for love is universal.
