German-born Thomas moved to London when he was 18 years old after enduring homophobic attacks in Germany. In London, he entered into a relationship with a man and they remained together for six years until his partner sadly passed away.
And now he’s on the hunt for true love.
In fact, he was so excited to appear on First Dates that he woke up at 4am and enlisted friends to help him select his outfit.
Adorable.

Thomas is breaking my heart. Please let him find love #firstdates
During their date, Patrick revealed his daughter’s wish to have a sibling and his desire to meet a partner… with a child.
Ideally, what she’d really like me to do is date somebody who has children, so we can connect and kind of become a united or bigger family. Because then she’d get stepbrothers and stepsisters.
And Thomas’ face said it all.
