The Undateables to feature Camberley's Gravity Force trampoline park See 23-year-old postman Sam from Camberley, who has Asperger's Syndrome, as he heads to a trampoline park on The Undateables

If I were single, I would totally put up with a date to go to a trampoline park.

Do they have those in the States?? I would put up with taking all my kids out in public to go to a trampoline park.

I used to LOVE trampolining. My favourite move was swivel hips. I used to do lots of them in a row.

Oh my. Oh sweet jumping Jesus. There's one in Monroeville. That's on the south side of Pittsburgh. I can drive there. In less than two hours. Oh my God. I know what I want for my birthday.

You are my favorite person this week.

Nobody commented on the Aspie participant or on the Undateables show. All the comments were about the trampoline park.

So I noticed. I'd never heard of trampoline parks, The Undatables, or Sam the postman before reading this post.

I was interested in the guy who didn't want to travel five miles outside of his own radius to meet anyone.. I can totally get why, I wouldn't want to leave my own comfort zone to find someone, its totally unecessary and travel can be fraught with danger with those you don't know. I don't know what persuaded him, Richard. I noticed she met him first in his area and he obviously liked her and went over to her place of residence.
Sam was the only one with a decent hourly job and in a nice area with nice people to deliver the rounds to.
Shame it didn't succumb to anything.
