Unlucky in love Mat Rhodes left the Take Me Out studio alone after a unanimous "no" from the panel of single ladies.
However, after his stint on the TV dating show aired on Saturday night, the 44-year-old has been inundated with offers - and has three dates lined up.
But the film poster designer, from Carlton, still has his sights set on taking Maxine -the final girl to turn Mat down - for a round of crazy golf, and hopes she will get in touch.
Mat, who is known to his friends as Videomat or White Dolemite, said: "She was my 'love at first light' and it would be really nice to take her for a drink or even just have a chat.
"I don't want to come off as stalkerish it would just be nice to get in touch."
Twenty girls turned their lights off as Nottingham's second contestant on Take Me Out in two weeks, came down the love lift.
But Mat, who claims he lives in a haunted house, told the Post that getting a unanimous "no" - known as a "blackout" on the show, was almost more fun than being picked.
He said: "My housemate had been telling me to go on the show for ages.
"I've watched it since series one and I love it, it's trash but it's trash done extremely well.
"Then I saw an article in the Nottingham Post saying they were looking for people to audition and I put in an application.
"I didn't think it had gone very well but they called me the next day.
"I must say you really do have to have balls of steel to go on that show.
"It's not until you get to the studio that you realise how big the studio audience is - me and the other lads were backstage, all ready to bottle it."
Mat, who has been single for 10 years, has a passion for the seventies and dresses in Cuban heels and vintage clothes everyday - he also loves Japanese culture..
He said: "I think I was born in the wrong era and wrong country, I went to Japan 10 years ago and felt more at home there than I do in Nottingham and I have lived here my whole life."
