Hello everyone,
I loved the first video and I only want they will get in love asap (ha, ha, ha).
I think I have never met a person in strange way, but I would like it. I usually meet new people at the school, work or when I go to party at nights weekends.

Hi there,
Many thanks for your useful video...
I met my old friend (from childhood) on the same flight to Norway... Actually, before that trip, we were friends on instagram.

No, I haven't.
I said, I haven't.
Honestly, I don't have a partner.

I can't see the video either. But a relative of mine, who lives quite near, can.What can I do?

Hello Eivissa,

I wish we could help you, but there's not a great deal we can do with a local issue like this. I can give you some possible causes and possible ways to address them, but I can't tell which if any will help:

  • It could be a software problem. Try using a different browser to see if this helps.
  • It could be a hardware issue. Try using a different device, especially if you are currently using a mobile device of some kind.
  • It could be a security settings matter. Check to see if you have multimedia blocked or if your firewall is blocking certain multimedia types.
  • It could be caused by your service provider. Try connecting on a different network.
  • It could be a question of local regulation which may not apply to your relative for some reason.

From a distance I can't say what the cause might be, but these are some possible ideas. Good luck!
