Shirts. All right.
Out of the closet.
They're going to eat my closet?
Yeah. My sisters helped me set up an online dating profile a while ago, but I realized
online dating wasn't for me, so my mom suggested that I give matchmaking a shot.
Okay. Where are you going?
Bowling.
After talking with the matchmaker, she found some great date options.
So I'm meeting one of them tonight.
Oh, yes. No, no, no, no.
This is taking a while.
I have never been on a blind date.
I. Have a bunch of worries going into a blind date because I worry about my dating
reaction to my size because a lot of people don't understand how short three foot ten is.
A lot of people are like, Oh, well, your legs right up to my shoulders.
I'm like, No, I'm up to your groin.
Like, that is the scary part because you're not only going to see the reaction to your
height, you're going to see the reaction to other people reacting to your height, too.
That's know why is nothing.
I pick good enough.
I like those.
Ones. You made me wear these.
Yeah, just to take a maybe tall as.
I'm getting ready. I am anxious.
It's just weird with my family being super super involved in it.
That or box?
Oh, yeah. You got to do it.
Sure.
Gabby the matchmaker sent me a first date package, which is the couple items to help
you feel ease on the first date.
This is the scent.
The scent.
The pumpkin. Lavender.
Scientifically. Best scent for attraction.
Scientifically, Yes, scientifically.
Let's smell this. There were five items in the box that Gabby gave me.
One was a book.
It's about spirituality and finding, like, mental love and all this stuff.
And then one was the most attractive scent in the world, which is a mixture of pumpkin
and lavender. It's not that great.
I don't know if I want to wear it because.
Of the pumpkin.
She says. You gotta you gotta pull more out.
Fine. I'm just putting it on Margaret's because he's not going to touch anything more
than my hand.
I don't think that's what that's for.
I would not consider pumpkin to be an arousing sense.
Sounds like you were set up to fail.
Goodness. She made you stinky.
Spray this on and you'll never get a guy.
Oh, my God. It's so.
Strong. Why does it smell like no book?
No. My wrist.
Oh, yeah. I'm like.
I like it.
I smell like a pumpkin spice latte.
It is very uncomfortable having my sister and my stepdad drive me to a.
Date, right? No.
You got this. Totally.
It is one of the reasons that I want to start driving just so they don't have to come along
in that way. I don't have to deal with their nagging or they're making fun of me.
Or even the fact that they could stalk the date.
But at the end of the day, I know it's out of love and it is comforting.
But I need to learn how to.
Drive. Here we go.
I don't think if Shawna could drive, we would tag along.
I'd be very tempted to find out where she's going and maybe like, Oh, I'm eating here
too, huh? What a surprise.
If you get weird and you eat something, call me and I'll, like, say the house is on fire
and stuff, you know, I'll be here out.
But I mean, you know that we're.
We're not going home.
We'll be.
Yeah, but is she once an hour?
I was talking to Shauna.
Do you know this guy's name?
At least I know nothing.
But he lives in Yonkers and doesn't have a.
Car.
With Shauna specifically.
It's really difficult for me to let go of a lot of things, and that might be a hindrance
for her, because I'm not willing to or ready to let go.
With such things as her probably driving a car or her moving out dating.
Now all those moments that she should have already experienced.
I'm still holding back on.
So. Yeah.
Want to give the guy another strike.
What happened? What?
Cancel. Are you.
Yeah.
While on my way to the first day, the guy got cold feet and the matchmaker had to text me
that he canceled. What a.
Wow. Does he give a reason?
No, I was relieved when he cancelled him.
Not having a car, not willing to come out to me and me having to go all the way out there.
And then him cancelling just kind of showed all of these characteristics that I don't
want in a person in my life.
Do I just go bowling anyhow?
Maybe you want to go bowling.
I like.
Bowling. So I guess we're going bowling because the guy likes bowling.
Yeah, just to.
Let's just do it. Let's have some fun.
Okay.
All right.
So we're going bowling.
When something like that happens, I think the best thing to do is try to make the best of a
bad situation.
Once the guy backed out, we kind of were like, Screw it, let's just go bowling anyhow.
You know, screw him. Three here.
Kids 13.
13. Yeah. Kids.
Okay. My shoe size is the kid's 13.
I think it translates to, like, an adult, too.
It's extremely complicated.
Finding shoes that fit my size and my age.
Most children's shoes have some kind of cartoon character on them somehow.
And if I'm perceiving my shoes as looking like childish, then other people are going to
perceive that and then they're going to view me as a child in general.
So I probably overthink the shoe thing a little too much.
That's fine.
They do have kids bowling balls.
But I don't want to take those balls away from the kids that actually need them because
they want a bowl.
Because I don't care about bowling.
But at the same time, I need at least one £5 ball because £6 can get too heavy and £7 is
just not going to happen.
All right. Go ahead.
We're all going to suck.
It's going to do great.
Better gutter, gutter, gutter, gutter, gutter, gutter.
Three at.
Four.
Growing up, I was not athletic.
I didn't play any sports.
I did cheerleading.
I went horseback riding via Girl Scouts.
But when it comes to.
Actual sports, Sports.
They're not my cup of tea.
I've always been thin and frail, and I don't think my body would have done well in sports
either way.
Good. Good.
Well, happy.
I did it just for you.
Riley.
Oh, Riley, look, look.
You're probably.
The best baller, even though you think you saw.
Her. I think all of us need to work on our game.
Bad. My final score was at 39.
Now as a 61.
And that was the 64.
I lost by 30 points.
I'm most your age.
And what if there's a league we could join.
The worst league. So can I.
Take off these Very slippery.
Yes, I think we had fun.
I mean, I think we made the best out of the situation.
Even though it was supposed to be a date.
I probably enjoyed it better this way with my family than I would with a complete
stranger. I'm still open to the matchmaking situation.
It really depends on if the second guy cancels.
If I get another date and he cancels, then I'm probably just going to throw all the
matchmaking out the window.
