- So when I first saw you,
I decided that I
would date you,
and through our conversations, I decided,
that I would still date you.
- Yes.
When we first spoke,
I decided I would date you.
And then, through all the conversation in which we had,
I decided that I would still date you.
so, you get a date,
we get a date.
♪Everybody gets a date ♪
- There was a lot of chemistry off the bat,
and it was kind of like meeting back
with a old best friend
that you hadn't really known beforehand.
- He's not like trying to play it cool.
You can tell that there is vibrance behind his eyes,
and so that's what attracted me to him.
We went to Syndicated, which does movie screenings
while you get to eat and drink.
- We actually ended up skipping the movie,
because we just figured, you know,
we're just sitting back, relaxing in this cool atmosphere.
It's kinda hard to talk during a movie.
- We actually ended up doing Disney trivia,
which he knows a lot about, oddly enough.
- So we're at the Syndicated Bar Theater,
and it's actually really pretty cool.
Instead of watching the movie which we had anticipated,
we had gone and just done Disney trivia.
- Disney trivia, yeah.
- Which was actually something I didn't know existed.
- He knew all of the sequel's names.
- All straight to video as well,
so you gotta dig deep for that information.
- That VHS life.
- But the highlight of our trip to Syndicated
was their tequila chocolate milkshake.
- I actually didn't get the milkshake.
Danielle ended up getting the milkshake.
- It has like flecks of chocolate
and its mostly tequila,
and then they dump a bunch of, like
whipped cream and ice cream on it.
He ended up paying for the majority of our food and drinks,
and it wasn't like, oh no, let me take care of this,
it was just very quiet and, I don't know,
he was very open and present, and fun.
I'm having fun.
- Sing, sing fun.
♪Fun ♪
- We have fun around here.
- I actually didn't realize Olly was pansexual,
for whatever reason I though he was queer,
which I guess is a blanket term for anybody under,
in the spectrum.
We had this really in depth conversation about
what it was like to be the only black people
in our friend groups for, you know,
X amount of years coming up, like growing up.
I haven't really gotten down to the nitty-gritty
like that on a date in a really long time.
So, it was refreshing.
- I think the date went pretty well.
Like I had said beforehand,
like right off the bat with Danielle and I
really feeling as if we were just like
instantly old friends.
- We're really similar,
and so I found myself at certain points
looking at him like, that sounds like some shit I would say.
- Yeah I'm actually black and yeah,
actually black, yeah.
- What?
- You'd be shocked to believe that.
But actually I'm Jamaican and Creole.
- Oh , dope.
- Yeah. - Okay, hey man.
- What's up fam?
As a romantic pursuit, I don't think I can see myself
pursuing Danielle in that sense.
I'm new to the area, she is sporadic with her schedule
as far as being able to lock down
a social event could go.
- I just wanted us to be less alike.
He's like very much go with the flow, and so am I.
So we both kinda found ourselves like,
"What do you wanna do?"
"I don't know, what do you wanna do?"
- I'm an individual that you have to vibe
on the most basic level of being really great friends.
However, I do believe that there was like,
something missing from that.
It's kind of like the electricity
that goes through a current,
to make the light switch go on.
The items were there, but I think it's just
our circuit boards or circuit's just
not really firing off on a correct level.
- Like you know when there's that spark, that chemistry,
which at first, like when I first saw him,
it was like "oh hey."
But as we talked it was like,
there wasn't a romantic cloud.
- But like, since we had such a great time, like,
hanging out with each other,
and we were saying like yeah,
we should go out and see concerts,
like we should go out and do other things.
I got my New York buddy,
and that's kind of where I think I can see this going more.
- And who knows, maybe if we got to know each other better
over time, something might develop.
But as of right now, I just really see him as like a friend.
