Synopsis

The video is a point-of-view of going on a date with all members of One Direction. The five dates takes place in five different locations; a date with Zayn at an Italian restaurant (which apparently he owns as he greets cooks in the back and introduces his date to a waiter), a drive in the country with Louis, a night in playing Monopoly and Jenga next to a fireplace with Niall, ice skating with Harry and at a carnival with Liam.[5] As their date progresses, it goes from best to worst. Zayn's date's boyfriend comes in and pours water and food on Zayn, which prompts her to leave Zayn as he looks on in disbelief.[6] Next, Harry spots a couple doing a trick on the ice rink and attempts to do it with his date, but both end up being injured. Liam and his date go on a ride in the carnival, but Liam becomes nauseated and throws up in his date's hat. Niall tends to his fireplace, but his sweater catches on fire and goes to grab a towel to put it out, only to tip over a jug that stains his date's dress. Lastly, Louis gets pulled over by the police and attempts to joke with the policeman, which displeases him and places Louis under arrest, and the date sees Louis in the back of the police car heading away from her.[7][8]
