- The toughest part about being single,
everyone's moving, and we're moving really quickly,
and we're not connecting.
The first thing I notice about a man,
I know this sounds very weird and spiritual,
but I would definitely say energy.
- Let's start with the physical,
let's get that out the way, okay?
You have to capture my attention.
That won't keep my attention,
but it absolutely has to capture it.
- Here is your story.
Your name is Kevin.
You are 35 years old.
For work, this was a really hard one for me.
You are a teacher.
And as a child, you wanted to be a child when you grew up.
- First off, my name is Monti.
(laughing)
I am 30 years old.
I work as a motivational speaker,
so you weren't far off with the teacher.
As a child, I wanted to be
a black Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
All right.
Your name is Phylicia.
(laughing)
You're 30 years old.
You own a salon.
And as a kid you wanted to be a singer when you grew up.
- My name is Aireka.
I am 37 years old.
I'm a writer.
And as a kid, I wanted to be a writer.
I have a question now,
why would I own a salon?
- Your hair is wonderful.
- Oh, thank you.
- You've got good hair.
- Thank you.
- And it's just stylish, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I've been in love a few times, actually.
I've learned from previous relationships
I want a very ambitious, goal oriented woman.
We're on the same level,
we kind of have the same ideals,
the same goals, the same philosophy on life.
- You have to be in love with what you do.
I don't care if it's a barista,
or if it's an accountant,
but you have to love it.
- In high school you played zero sports.
Your curfew was 10:30.
Your favorite emoji is the thumbs up.
And you are friends with your mom on Facebook.
- I was a dancer in high school,
and I was a high school mascot,
so that's a yes to sports.
My curfew in high school was 11:00.
My favorite emoji would be the sarcastic wink.
And yes, I am friends with both
my mother and father on Facebook.
- Okay, now the profile picture.
Have you ever put a profile picture
of you in a mascot uniform?
- No, but maybe I should.
- I don't know, I just picture
you holding the ram's head.
- I just put yes, you played sports.
Your curfew was no curfew.
This was really hard for me.
Your favorite emoji is the fist pump.
I don't know why, I just decided to go with that.
And, you are not friends with your mom on Facebook.
- Okay, yes, I did play sports.
That's a given.
I lived in a foster home and my curfew was 10:00,
unless I snuck off at a friend's house,
then I didn't have a curfew.
My favorite emoji is the laughing, crying tears one.
And I'm absolutely friends with my mom on Facebook.
My mom doesn't even pick up my phone calls.
I have, actually, a foster mom.
I will call her and she won't answer.
I will go on Facebook and respond to a message,
and she will get back instantly.
It's annoying.
You're terrible with money.
You're most likely to overspend on clothes.
A good salary for a couple you think is $85,000.
Your lifestyle requires more than average
amounts of money.
- I am absolutely horrible with money.
I overspend on experience.
I think a good salary for a couple is
between $350,000 and $500,000.
- Okay, a little off.
- And yes, my lifestyle requires more than average
amounts of money.
- You are good with your money.
You are most likely to overspend on shoes.
A good salary for a couple is $200,000,
and your lifestyle requires average amounts of money.
- Okay, I'm really good with money.
I'm pretty good with money.
I'm most likely to overspend on
a combination of watches,
but I also like taking new classes,
learning something new.
I wanna be a millionaire.
We're trying to go everywhere.
We're not trying to go to Europe,
we're trying to go to the moon,
you know what I'm saying?
And yeah, my lifestyle requires an above average.
Boom. At the beginning, I decided that
I wanted to date you,
and after having this conversation,
I decided that I definitely wanna date you.
- At the beginning, I decided that I would date you.
I made that decision based off of your smile,
and I thought you looked as nervous as I did.
(laughing)
And now that we've had this conversation,
I've decided that I want to date you.
- Throughout the whole process of interviewing
and answering the questions, it became obvious
you're an outgoing, charismatic person.
I just liked your energy, I don't know.
You know how some people kinda carry
a negative energy around with them
and it just permeates out.
It just seemed like you have this
radiating, positive energy, so it's like,
yeah, of course I would date somebody like that.
Let's see what happens.
- There's a sense of confidence about you.
It obviously is an assumption
that I assumed that you are very determined.
Assumptions are based on your experience.
But, the foundation of assumptions
sometimes are spot on.
- For the first date, I know this really cool jazz spot.
They've got drinks, live music,
they play the classics,
but at the same time we can talk.
They've got some pretty good food,
really good flatbread pizza.
- I think I know where you're talking about too.
- Have you been there?
- Maybe.
- Okay.
Well, you haven't been there with me.
- I have not.
(laughing)
