Match Me Abroad is a reality show that airs on TLC, an American cable network.
The show's basic premise features singles from the U.S. that go to other countries to find love.
One of their participants in the second season is 43-year-old Harold Davis.
He's hoping to find his soulmate in Singapore.
In his introductory video, he mentions how he had been on dating apps recently and found the most success when switching locations to Singapore, where women found him "tall and cute".
He also mentioned that Singaporean women are "beautiful and sexy" and noted that many of them indicated that they were interested in anime in their dating profiles.
Harold, who is an anime watcher, said it would be cool if they "nerded out" over the same things.
Here he is heading to Singapore.
He was set up with a matchmaker to up his dating game.

Which apparently included a mock date.
Points of improvement mentioned by the matchmaker for the episode included being a little stiff and not delving into conversations.
One of the positives noted on the mock date was Harold's art skills. Here are some of his works.

He then went on a date with a Singapore woman called Zi Hui, whose nickname is Cheezy.
Harold quipped that a potential problem was there was only room for one of them to be cheesy.
They went for an art jamming session on their date before grabbing a meal together.

The dinner started off awkward, according to Harold, as the conversation didn't flow as well he hoped.
Zi Hui also opened up on her past relationships, and told him she would like to have a more direct partner, to which Harold responded by asking to hold her hand.
But she noted that his hands were clammy.
Zi Hui did not feel the spark with Harold. Harold also said he did not feel the spark, and said he wanted to find someone who was really interested in him.
His search continues.
