Here are some of the personalities we’ve met that have made us love Date My Family sooo much:
Drunk, with expensive taste
Some singles place alcohol pretty much above anything and potentially lose out on dates because of it, like Mbali who was also accused of being a gold digger.
Itumeleng feels very passionately about Mbali NOT coming back for him. Blame it on the alcohol. #DMFMzansi pic.twitter.com/rUKKtcttkG

The driver
Yes, the driver who transports the singletons to their dates gets all sorts of attention from girls who have been rejected. They pine over him and some even ask if they can go on a date with him instead. The poor guy has to try get into the car as quickly as possible.
It seems the tweeps have also been keeping an eye out for him:

Because Mahoney
Once in a while you’ll get introduced to someone you didn’t know existed – remember the level of arrogance and overall attitude of Lunga “Mahoney” Kolela?
I can smell this #Mahoney #Datemyfamily guy's arrogance through my TV screen??

He wasn’t shy to tell people about his cars and having money. He also said he didn’t like ugly kids. As usual, the Mzansi tweeps were having none of it:
#Datemyfamily #Mahoney we saw that #Truworthsman belt... what a peculiar way of spending your rich family's money..Booooom

Clearly he is a lover of things, as he also had a stint on dating show Take Me Out Mzansi. Watch it Fridays at 19:30 on Vuzu Amp, also available online on DStv Now.
Nice guys, like Aubrey, finish last
Sometimes we meet genuinely nice guys who are just not cut out for the girls they get paired with. Aubrey was one such guy; he was looking for a stable relationship however he proved to be too much or too little for his potential dates:

Thulani and his famous fans
This show is so epic that it even gets the attention of stars like Boity, Azania and Cassper Nyovest who was a little freaked out yet impressed with the hustler Thulani, who was unemployed yet flashing a roll of cash while saying he “doesn’t mean to brag…”.
My guy's confidence is the one!!! Come on!! #DateMyFamily

Cars are characters too:
What I've seen on #DateMyFamily is success is measured by having a car! As if these ladies asking about cars have cars mxim. https://t.co/CbWbEsYXfU

It’s apparent in some episodes that having a car means you’re successful. How many times has a family asked if the guy has a car? But we wonder what any of that has to do with finding love.
