Despite taking his matchmaker’s advice to practice active listening, Harold’s first date on TLC’sMatch Me Abroadends up being a dud.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek at Sunday’s episode, the 41-year-old artist from New Mexico rents a paddleboat in Prague to spend some quality time with his date Teresa — but all the guaranteed alone time backfires when the two fail to click.
“I felt I listened to her and asked a lot of questions and tried to get a lot of dialogue going,” Harold says. “But I wait for her to ask me questions but she doesn’t, and I want her to get to know me.”
But judging from his first date, Harold won’t need that prenup any time soon.

“This time, I’m hoping for a relationship that will balance the physical and intellectual side, where we can be friends and do fun stuff and be very sexual, I guess,” he tells Teresa, prompting her to make a face.
Teresa then asks what the most important thing is for him in a relationship. “Your pleasure,” he replies.
Later during the paddleboat excursion, Harold asks Teresa directly if she finds him attractive.
“I don’t know you so much, but if I should be like, really like, honest, I don’t like flowers on men, for example,” she answers, referring to his floral shirt.
When Harold brings his date back to land, she quickly gets off the paddleboat, ignoring his offer for assistance.
Reflecting on the date later, Harold tries to put a positive spin on the experience — despite Teresa’s apparent lack of interest.
“Being socially awkward as I am, I think Teresa and I are a good match,” Harold says. “We connect on several levels. She’s beautiful. I’m kind of getting tunnel vision, I think.”
