Poor guy got friend-zoned on television. Props to her for showing kindness and not humiliating him, but she has a boyfriend and she wanted out of there quick when it was over.
It seems like but she said one thing special. When the showman tell to the boy that she have a boyfriend and this was a problem, she said «maybe yes, maybe no, it depend on what your looking for » And in French its sound’s like the relation with her guy is not that really serious. So maybe its not really over for him 😅

Romanticizing nostalgia is the greatest trap a man can set on himself to ruin his own life. One should always look at the present and onward, not past. I doubt that he'll ever get past this traumatic event. Life is cruel, and while it may be generous to some, it clearly isn't to others. Meredith's anxiety at the end to get out of there as soon as possible was the showcase of the word "cringe". I hated watching this.
Yeaaaah...felt cringe at the end. I mean, trying walking in her shoes...she has a boyfriend, now she comes to tv to hang out with someone that fantasized of her for so many years...that's the definition of cringe.
Trauma? Please. My grandfasther knew real trauma. When he lost his entire squad in the war because their tent was shot up. This is just an uncomfortable situation
@@barretcoe4841Of course, you are absolutely right. Yet these two very different events do not even compare. "Trauma" here was a figure of speech. May your grandpa and his comrades rest in peace.
@@helloman3676 Or maybe even gain back a friend. She chose to open the curtain, and I don't think it's because she felt sorry for him alone. She could have walked away, but regardless of how it sounds like he hurt her by not replying to her last letter a decade before, she is interested enough to at least hear his side of the story and potentially reconnect.

Much respect for Mathieu for putting himself out there and taking a chance. Meredith turned out classy, smart, beautiful and kind. Her boyfriend is lucky to have her.
Maybe he isn't handsome.. maybe he will never get this beautiful lady.. but he acted braver than many men and found his childhood love and expressed his feelings in front of everyone! In order not to regret in life, tell the person you love about your feelings while you have time. You may be rejected yes, but you will say "I tried" at least and you will not regret it!
This is one of the best and most wholesome comments on this thread. I completely agree. I was rejected by my childhood love around the age of 15, or... well, I never had the courage to confront her myself about it, despite being friends with her for years. But her friend told my friend she wasn't interested in me that way, so I tried to move on. Around ten years later, she tracked me down and contacted me randomly, to confess she had been in love with me the whole time, yet was scared to say so. But I didn't know why she had contacted me and mentioned I had a girlfriend at the time in my reply, so she never told me her feelings. Over ten more years later, I contacted her through social media to reconnect, and after a few weeks of emailing, I reminded her I had a crush years ago (because of something else that came up in our conversation), and she finally confessed to me. We've been together ever since. It took us over 20 years to find our ways back to each other, because we were both scared to ruin our friendship and talk about how we really felt. So I agree - take a chance and be honest. If nothing else, reconnecting with my friend would have brought good memories back to my life, but it ended up with a lot more.
The thing is, it was he who stopped replying to her letters, so she harbours some resentment against him for that (which she says just before she opens the curtain)
He could have a great transformation in terms of what’s more conventionally attractive cause he’s got a decent looking face. Give him a better haircut and get him to the gym and he’d look instantly more attractive.
Mamma mia! Yearning for a soul mate from when you were a child and discovering she became such a sharp, intelligent, absolutely stunning young lady! If I'd be him I'd have a heart attack!
Great take. Sometimes when we yearn for a people we knew long ago we assume we still may be the sharpest, more intelligent and more attractive.... in reality there is 50% chance they did better than us and are now out of our league. I felt this before and it stings.
@@AlexLane_ bro I 100% know what you mean. This girl I went to elementary school with used to have a crush on me until she was 12. I also liked her and told her so. She later told me that she was scared that I was lying and would reject her if she told me she liked me. Well many years later, we are both in our 20's (haven't really seen her since we were 14 or 15 at a mutual friends birthday party, even the she was starting to look really pretty. Well she's now absolutely stunning and wayyy out of my league. Like Meredith basically. She's also out of my league so yeah, it's crazy
Btw in your opinion which woman more likely is a bigger h* in bed, like allows facials and/or swallows(or gargles) for her man between Meredith and Taylor Swift? Given that Swift is pretty used for her age So don`t be snowflakes and answer the question, its all just for joking and hypothetical.
Bro had no chance on so many levels. Maybe he's a masochist? I don't know but this is ridiculous. It's been over 15 years bruh. There are plenty of attractive women out there. What is he doing?

@@MegaHydro9 it's often seen that women at the moment where making babies becomes an issue are putting an end to their slut phase to chose a more serious partner, sometimes they even get the first serious one they meet, make her baby, then divorce while keeping child custody

@@Pamanudavy-qz1vx It's not crazy she remembered. Unless you have a bad memory you would remember, too, if your sweetheart hadn't answered your letter. She might still be talking to him, but as a friend.
@@someone3187 I wouldn't bet on this one. If she remembers he didn't reply, she also remembered the pain she felt at this time. Women are emotional creatures and certainly not brain dead, they always attach emotions with anything they experience in life. Now she is a beautiful young woman having her best life in engineering school, and, in Toulouse (who knows Toulouse, knows, but she definitely has fun over there). From what I seen, this guy is a L for her and she has better things to do than entertaining this past relationship.
@@Pamanudavy-qz1vx I'm not disagreeing with you, I just speak from my own feelings as a woman. After his effort to reconnect, depending on whether he writes respectfully, out of courtesy I would have stayed in touch from time to time as a friend. What's wrong with being friends as long as he respects that I'm in a relationship?
@@someone3187 there is nothing wrong being friends. In this particular set up, they have nothing in common anymore and their last interaction was negative. She s at her peak having her best life, no doubt she has more than enough bright and interesting friends in Toulouse. Why would she spend some time discussing with him? He is the one chasing, not her. There is always a possibility, but the probabilities are extremely low. I don't know if you are French or not, but from her tone, and the way she speaks, she was a bit disappointed that it wasn't someone else behind the curtain.
En gros Mathieu a voulu ghoster Meredith (car il n'a pas répondu à la lettre de la fille quand ils étaient en 6ème, au collègue), maintenant il le regrette à mort.
Think, 15 yrs gap is too much! She’s already focusing on her study with possible potential career. It’s obviously awkward for her to meet him after such long time but she greet anyway gracefully not to let him down. She’s smart,well mannered! ❤ I hope that they keep in touch atleast.
she rejected him for being ugly, she wouldn't have come onto the show without knowing there was potential for love. She saw his face, and it was over. Make no mistake, she came onto the show for love. But when he wasn't enough. She rejected.
malheureusement ça match pas avec le mec... ouais tout ces espoirs qui s'envolent, mais pourquoi personne ne lui a dit : mec ton idée elle est éclatée...
Et après on dit : "Les femmes elles veulent des riches blabla", mais les hommes ne s'intéressent presqu'aux physiques des femmes. C'est tout autant superficiel.
Well, at least he reached out to her in the present. He probably felt bad for not answering the last letter she wrote to him, and it was bothering him for some time. Now he knows what happened to his old friend!
Fair play to her for opening the curtain. I thought she was going to keep it closed and I would have said Mathieu was better off without her. But her quality shone through. Good luck to both of them.

Le mec a dû la retrouver sur les réseaux, et en voyant qu'elle s'était transformée en jolie petite rose s’affichant avec tout l'entourage qu'une belle jeune femme peut avoir, il s'est dit "nan mais attend, j'étais là le premier moi ! c'était moi son premier amoureux bordel !!!"

Many women once they get hurt they pull away and won't give you the chance to do it again. Sacrifice friendships even! He has a long way to go especially since he didn't respond to her last letter. Add that to having a current relationship. What a predicament!
@@AS-js7kb That is also true. BUT she does have a grudge. She even mentioned it. Not replying to a woman when they are making an effort really affects them. They will surely remember that for years to come. He needs some grand gesture BUT has to bide his time since she has a BF. Well, that is IF he is willing to "wait" for her. He actually has an advantage for having a lot of history with her. Too bad he gave up early and tried to move on without her too soon. In the meantime, he should move on with life and love to avoid wallowing in regret and self-pity.
Leur amour d'enfance, sa douceur, sa profondeur, sa douce musique intégrée dans la mémoire cognitive profonde, olfactive, visuelle, sensorielle, émotionnelle, sont toujours présents à ces 2 là.

@@arnaudkaho7137 désolé. Perso j'étais archi fauché, maigrelet, pesait 58 kg à 24 ans, pas un sous, des dettes pour payer mes études, travaillais tous les samedis et vacances scolaires pour gagner ma croûte, et j'ai dragué la plus belle fille de ma petite ville, parce que 5 ans plutôt elle était tombée folle amoureuse de moi, nous étions trop jeunes, nous nous étions infiniment plu, mais ce coup de foudre trop jeune était impossible à vivre, donc je l'avais gentiment éconduite . Ce coup de foudre resta sans lendemain, je ne répondis même pas à sa lettre reçue quelques jours plus tard. Nous ne nous étions même pas embrassé mais ce moment nous est resté et est resté indélébile dans notre mémoire profonde. 5 ans plus tard donc, une bombe sexuelle virevoltait à la piscine. Tous les mecs la voulait. Non seulement j'ai remporté la mise, mais surtout nous avons retrouvé immédiatement notre amour de jeunesse, nous ne nous sommes plus jamais quitté, j'ai aujourd'hui 52 ans, elle en a 47, nous avons fait 6 beaux enfants, et notre bonheur est total. L'amour d'enfance, certifie la douceur, la fidélité, la profondeur des liens. Son odeur, ses carresses, me sont irremplaçables. Et c'est partagé. Vive les amours d'enfance !

Nul faux semblant.

they connected when young because they both have intelligence, but she is so charming, witty, open -- someone who has smartly avoided tragic trauma up to 20 years old. Impressive person. Whatever she engineers... um, a fantastic result!?
Inasmuch as I was rooting for poor Mathieu, the charming Meredith has grown to be way out of his league. He probably started secretly stalking her via social media contrary to his story, seeing how attractive Meredith turned out to be. The last words from the host 'To walk out arm in arm' was the last straw for Meredith. See how she was almost running away from that show.
Oh, come on, don't be like that, what if Mathieu read the comments...just say Meredith is most likely in bed, has broke up with her lover and she's trying to figure out her personal life. 🤗
Why is everyone crapping on Mathieu, his mission was to reconnect, romance was a small bonus. Also it didn't seem like she was ultra serious with the boyfriend and she immediately recognized Mathieu. I say it's a win for my boy, you never know, maybe she ended her boyfriend situation and they started dating, yall are mad negative!
I agree - I don't understand why the comment section is so negative. Everybody sees her as not interested in reconnecting, but she wrote to him for over 5 years after she last saw him, was clearly hurt a bit when he didn't respond to her last letter (which she still clearly remembers strongly), and (as you said) recognizes him immediately after not seeing him in 15 years. There are definitely strong feelings there from her from childhood -- whether friendship or something more. And I interpret her awkwardness at the end as not wanting to either get his hopes up or respond in a way that could be misinterpreted when she said she has a boyfriend, all of this happening on television. Maybe when they are alone and get a chance to talk, she'll open up more, maybe even be overwhelmed at the chance to reconnect. Or maybe she'll hold a grudge, despite his explanations. But everyone acting like she's immediately "friendzoning" him or just opening the curtain to be polite -- she cared enough about a boy to keep writing letters for FIVE YEARS. Has anyone here done that with a friend at that young of an age when never seeing the person again? That's incredible, right there. I wish them both well, regardless of what happens.

If I had a classmate in grade school that pretty, I wouldn't forget her too. She's a nice lady for opening up the curtain and not being mean to him though
She said she had a boyfriend, which shows honesty, if she had left her boyfriend right there because of the show, it would have proven she was not loyal. She acted appropriately in the situation. She opened the curtain.
@@BillyBob-cy9yi She didn't know why she was invited on the show. The show does different reasons for inviting the other person - it could be a family reunion, or just a lost childhood friend, etc. She didn't know it would necessarily be romantic in nature.
Mais franchement rien à dire cette fille elle vraiment une bombe 💣 un canon la plus belle la plus éduqué la plus élevée .... parmi toutes les femmes qui sont passées sur cette émission
He wasn't friend zoned. That's too premature to say. His goal was to find and reconnect with her and it was accomplished. He may never get her in the end but friendships can last a lifetime. So that's what matters in the end.
This is one sided love story from him. I don't think it is possible to keep it at just being friends. He's been dreaming about her for a long time. His heart and mind will not accept when he sees another man holding her hand. It will be traumatic for him. It is not possible to stay friends.
@@S.P.01 This is a lot of projection. He doesn't even recognize her as she's changed so much. Yes, he clearly has deeper feelings, but she must have too to be writing to him 5-6 years after they stopped seeing each other as small children. Whether her feelings back then were only friendly or not, or how much she was hurt by him not replying, as well as how their conversation goes will probably decide whether she's interested in reconnecting more too. He explicitly said before she was brought on that he also just hopes to be friends, if that's the way things go. Maybe he's lying (or lying to himself) about that, but it's possible he feels that way too. I reconnected with a close female friend once years later, maybe with a slight hope of something more, but we've been close friends ever since. It happens too. Regardless of what happens, I wish them both well.
She's very witty and funny as well as confident and calm. This is a very awkward, emotionally loaded situation even in complete privacy now on top of this it's on national tv . I'm impressed by the way she handled it
I also loved a girl in kindergarten. After 12 years we met and dated for two years. I was the happiest person on earth. Unfortunately we broke up many years ago, and to this day my heart misses her to crazy levels.
