- Hello, I'm Chloe.
- I'm Danny!
- And we've been together just over a year.
- I think like a year and three months.
- Wow, so exact!
(energetic music)
The way that we had our first one-on-one meet up,
I really wanna hear more details about
what you thought about that situation.
- Yeah.
- We kinda knew each other before we started dating,
like we had mutual friends. - We met each other once.
Yeah, yeah
- Few times, three times. - Really, what?
- I met you three times before we dated.
Wow, he has no memory, this man!
- A year and three months!
- But that was made up.
- Ugh!
- I'm more interested in like what your thoughts were
of me at the time, because obviously that's something
that I don't really know.
Well I first met Danny in August 2017 at a pool party
that our friend was throwing, it was her birthday.
- And that was the first time I met her and I thought
she was not bad to look at.
She was there with an ex-boyfriend.
- And I remember seeing Danny and he was super friendly
and sweet and funny.
For the first time ever since meeting my ex,
I was like wow, this guy's cute.
'Cause I'm really good at being very, very,
very faithful in relationships and I was like oh,
I'm finding another guy attractive, this isn't a good thing.
- I think we hung out one more time,
it was at another mutual friend's birthday thing.
(laughing) That's all I remember.
(record scratching)
- And then I met him a couple more times after
I broke up with my ex, just like through mutual friends
'cause we both went to the same acting schools.
He invited me and like all my other friends to this
Christmas ugly sweater party that he throws every year.
- I didn't think she would come.
- I was pretty newly single so I was like ooh,
I wanna go, I wanna see what boys are there,
but also it's cool that Danny's there 'cause he's cute.
So I went and he was pretty drunk.
- So I was dancing a lot and there she was,
her and her sister showed up.
- He was a bit all over the place, but it was funny.
- I tend to sweat a lot, so that's probably not
a good first impression, or third.
- I was like oh, he's never gonna ask me out, like ever.
This is never gonna happen.
He's really flirtatious just as a person so I just thought
he doesn't like me, that's how he is with people.
- Well I didn't actually think that she liked me,
I specifically remember thinking she wasn't interested.
So I kinda just left it at that and went on my way
of drinking and forgetting.
- I didn't know if I really wanted to ask him out because
I didn't know if that was too fast after my other boyfriend.
I ended up at the end of the night being like,
'cause he has a big YouTube channel,
and I genuinely wanted to find out about
how to build my personal channel, so I was like hey,
would you want to meet up and give me some
advice on YouTube?
And I genuinely meant that and I wasn't asking him out,
I think he probably thought I was.
- I bet she definitely said that she mighta been interested,
but she really wanted to learn about the YouTube stuff.
(bell ringing)
- He was like yeah, Facebook message me,
didn't give me his number.
- A few days later I got a Facebook message from her,
I can't remember exactly how it was put but it was like,
would you like to hang out sometime and talk about YouTube.
I thought it was a little odd, she works at BuzzFeed,
so I thought well, she probably can navigate YouTube
pretty well by herself.
- We met up on a Friday night, which I thought was
quite interesting 'cause he picked Friday,
and I was like this is a business meeting.
Friday night is a lot.
- So I kept asking all my friends, is this a date?
You think she's into me?
I didn't know, so I was a little anxious.
- And he wanted to meet in a bar, and I was like,
this is a business meeting, calm down!
- It's funny I can kinda see the night.
I remember we were at a booth, she would be on this side,
I was on this side, I think I had a whiskey sour.
'Cause I was nervous and I'm sure she was nervous too,
so you know you gotta get drinks in ya.
- We ended up just like talking about YouTube and stuff
and then it went on to like everything.
I think we got there at eight and didn't leave til 1:00 a.m.
- I was like feeling her out to try to figure out
if she actually liked me or if she was just interested
in the YouTube stuff.
- He started to be like touchy, but then again
he touches everyone!
- We kinda, you know, a lot of flirting,
touching type of thing.
- And then I was like well this is taking a long time
for a business meeting, I would have left by now.
So I started to think okay, maybe he likes me.
- Obviously she wasn't with her ex-boyfriend anymore,
I wasn't seeing anybody, these are are all pointing
in the right direction.
And now the sex happened.
(laughing)
- Then it was like closing, so we had to leave.
And we both got Lyfts and we were waiting outside the bar.
- And I hugged her and she hugged back.
- I think I was about to say goodbye to him
and then I kinda leaned forward.
- We kind of looked at each other and I was like
maybe a kiss would be cool.
- And he kissed me!
- So we made out a little bit.
I think at this time the Lyft driver was there so he got
to watch us make out, which is always fun.
I like an audience.
- It was kind of a weird kiss just 'cause
it felt very like-- (gagging)
- On the way home she texted me saying
I honestly, this wasn't what I wanted
I wasn't trying to hook up.
I was honestly wanted to talk about YouTube.
Likely story.
(cat meowing)
- And then I had to like wait to see
if he was gonna text me and I was like, oh my god,
is he going to text me, did I mess up,
like should that have happened?
Did he really kiss me, or did I kiss him?
What happened?
And then he ended up texting me and he wanted to hang out.
'Cause I was going home for Christmas in like a few days.
- We went on another date (laughs) such an idiot.
More make out.
- Yeah we just got along really well, so that was that.
- Then we texted over the break 'cause she was in England,
I was in Oklahoma, and yeah, it's like okay,
I think that I can actually date this girl.
- But I have never really heard detailed version
of his side of it, so I wanna know what he thought
and whether he thought I was some harlot
that was like chasing after him, or whether he just,
you know thought it was business.
I've said business so many times.
(crickets chirping)
- She probably has more details, probably less rambling,
probably didn't mention all the making out,
see again, this is just for my own benefit.
Alright, let's cut it. (laughs)
Were you really interested in the YouTube thing
or were you just trying to get with this?
- Well (laughs) that was my easy way in to get to know
you better but it wasn't like that was a complete lie.
- I was asking everybody.
- That's so cute!
- Oh God, what do I do?
Panic, got it, check!
- No, you seemed quite confident on the date.
- Did I?
- It wasn't a date, woops!
See, look, immediately I think it's a date, God!
Dating is so confusing.
- It is.
- What would you have done if I just straight out been like
hey, wanna go on a date next week?
- I'da been yes!
- Oh, maybe I should be more forward next time.
- For the next, for her next boyfriend. (laughs)
- To you or my next boyfriend?
