In a turn of events that may disappoint single women across the city, 'Perth's hottest bachelor' Adam Justice appears to have found a romantic connection with suitor Jess. The pair, matched through Triple M's Match Me If You Can segment, have announced they are planning a second date.
How It All Began
Perth breakfast hosts Xav and Katie received hundreds of applications from local women eager to date mortgage broker Adam. Among three shortlisted singles, 24-year-old Jess stood out, with Adam's preference aligning with that of the radio presenters.
The First Date
The couple went on their first date on Monday night and appeared on Triple M Perth's studio on Wednesday morning to share their intentions. In a style reminiscent of Married at First Sight, both hopeful singles expressed a desire to 'stay' and continue their romantic journey.
Recounting their outing on Tuesday in a pre-recorded interview, Adam described their night of darts at Flight Club and the emotions that accompanied it. 'It was pretty natural, surprisingly. The build-up to the night and all that sort of stuff, the conversations were flowing,' Adam said. 'There was good eye contact, good body language — all the green ticks you could ask for.'
Playing coy, Adam hinted there 'may have been' some hand-holding, and that the pair even shared a kiss. After a Yo-Chi palate cleanser and discovering Jess is lactose intolerant, Adam said he dropped her home and waited for her to walk through the door.
Jess's Perspective
The radio hosts also spoke to Jess separately to get her version of events. The local area coordinator said, 'It was such a good date, we had a good time.' Gifted a rose by Adam, she initially thought the romantic gesture might have been staged but quickly realised it was his own initiative.
Suggesting the pair went 'straight onto the beers upon arrival,' Jess praised Adam's 'good energy' and felt any nerves were quickly settled. She described the initiation of hand-holding as 'mutual' and preferred not to disclose the intensity of their kiss — or even whether it occurred.
What's Next
The pair's second date is scheduled for Friday, leaving many eager to see if this radio match leads to a lasting romance.
