- Hi, I'm Gabriel Del Orbe and we're back
in the Buzzfeed campus.
- Hi, my name is Jazzmyne and...
(sirens) (laughing)
Hi, my name is Jazzmyne and today a therapist is going to be
guessing our dating stories.
- This is gonna be weird.
(laughs)
- Hello. My name is Dr. Millicent Rose.
I am a therapist and a professor of clinical psychology.
I will be asking them questions and prompts to find out
which story belongs to who.
- I have a feeling she's gonna have a sneaking suspicion
as to why I got dumped.
I don't know. I think I exude my dumping story.
- Honestly, I have no idea.
I think she's gonna ask questions that we won't
understand why she's asking,
or maybe she's gonna ask us how we go about
new relationships and things like that.
- She is very intelligent.
She gets people on a different level.
She has the Oprah energy, that's what it is.
- I mean, today I'm excited to be here.
I'm just gonna have fun.
- Let's bring them out.
(dramatic music)
- So I'm facing away from everybody
so I can't see their reactions.
I'm going to read their stories. Let's give this a shot.
My best getting dumped story happened when I was 20.
I met my significant other while interning
in New York city for the summer.
I went back to DC for the school year and we dated long
distance and visited each other twice a month.
They had just gotten an apprenticeship
and had to work weekends.
So we started seeing each other less and less,
but still talked all the time.
I was in love and hoping to spend New Year's Eve with them.
Christmas day rolled around and I call them
to wish them a Merry Christmas.
It was then that they said,
and I'm paraphrasing,
"I just don't think this is working.
"Merry Christmas though".
(gasps and laughter)
Let's go onto the next story.
I was in early high school
and I was hanging out with this person who I liked.
After a while of hanging out,
I was super nervous and went to kiss them
and I missed their mouth.
I think I landed on their cheek.
We both silently agreed to never talk about that. Ever.
I was going on a first date with someone really cute.
It started out really weird.
After I picked them up, they asked,
"do you believe in conspiracy theories?"
Ooh.
I said, "no, it kills my vibe".
And they said, "oh, so you think the world is round?"
I replied, "I thought everyone did".
For the entire rest of the date,
we were arguing about the world being round or flat.
We even sat on the beach to watch the sunset and argued
about the sun and the moon.
For some reason, I asked to go on a second date.
I asked them to go to the Griffith Observatory,
their response, "I hate that place.
"It's full of lies".
(laughter)
Thankfully,
I realized it was going to be a terrible time
and texted them last minute that I couldn't go.
Neither of us followed up after that.
We basically dumped each other. All right.
Mutual breaking up. I liked that one.
I went on a first date once, and first of all,
they asked me to pick them up for a date.
That is a dating no-no.
Then they directed me to a mini golf place.
When we got there, they knew the ticket person by name,
and I jokingly said,
"oh, do you always bring your first dates here?"
Instead of lying, they said, "yes, I do".
And I was shook. They also later said,
"yeah, then I usually take them out to get ice cream".
So yeah, we never talked after that.
And then the last story.
My first partner and I were both in the closet.
Shortly after we came out as a couple,
they broke up with me because they couldn't handle being
with someone of the same gender. That's sad.
Now I'm going to bring everybody over one by one to ask them
some questions and to find out which story belongs to them.
- Hi.
- Hi Freddy. I'm Dr. Rose.
I'm going to ask you some questions to figure out which
story belongs to you.
- Okay. Sounds good.
- All right. Tell me a little bit about your dating history.
- I've dated a lot of people. I'm a Libra.
- Oh, okay. Balance.
- Yes.
Usually the people that I date are cute
and a little bit athletic.
- Tell me how you met this person.
- It was the Tinder app.
The person Dominican, just like me, so it's going to happen.
(laughter)
- Okay.
- So tell me how you met this person.
- I went to school with them.
- At the time that you were dating,
were you in college or high school?
- I was in school.
(laughter)
- Are you dating right now?
- I am.
- You are?
In comparison to your story,
why is this relationship any better?
- Ooh, this guy isn't nuts.
- Okay.
(laughter)
Let me ask you this. How do you feel about mini golf?
- I love golf and I love ice cream.
- You're really good at not giving me enough information.
Don't everybody else start getting ideas.
(laughter)
What about your first meeting with this person?
- Everything was cool.
You know, we had a lot in common but this person was like,
in a different world than I was in.
- They were in a different world
than the one that you were in?
- Yeah.
- Okay. All right.
- Who broke up with who?
- Mainly the other person.
- What role did you play?
- I agreed.
(laughter)
- What was so special about them?
- They seemed like they were like,
a hundred percent all about me, and I was like, all right.
- Are you the type of person who likes to argue or
are you any good at arguing?
- So, I don't love debating,
but when I do find myself in conflict or arguments,
oh, I'm gonna have the last word.
- Okay.
And have you spoken to that person ever since?
- Yes.
- You have?
Do you like to argue at all?
- I think I'm a little good at arguing.
- Have you had better relationships since that interaction?
- I don't know, like the relationship overall,
was better and like, healthier, stronger.
- Have you spoken to this person since?
- We did have a chat post-date, but it was mostly like,
me saying like, no.
- What did you go to school for?
- I went to school for Radio, TV, Film.
- Okay. With your story,
how did you feel after things ended?
- I felt that I kind of knew it was in my like,
younger years of dating.
- Did you happen to ask them for a second one?
- I did.
- Oh, okay.
(laughter)
- Would this relationship happen to have been
your first relationship?
- Yes.
- Okay. How did you feel when things ended?
- Relieved. It turns out, they weren't all about me
and uh, yeah.
- Did you intern here in California?
- I have interned here in California,
but that wasn't until my adult years.
- Would you ever consider getting
back together with that person?
- No.
- Why?
- We've moved on.
Like you go your way, I'll go my way.
Good luck.
- How many dates did you go on with this person?
- Oh, I only went on one date with this person.
- Just one date?
- Tell me one of the places that you guys
went on a date together to.
- We went, uh, we went to see the stars.
- Let me ask, how good are you at mini-golf?
- I'm honestly so good at mini-golf.
- Oh, okay.
- Like I hate actual golf, but mini golf,
I'm actually really good.
- How do you feel about conspiracy theories?
- I am not into them.
- There are some conspiracy theories that I believe in,
and there's some that I don't.
- That you don't. All right, perfect.
- I hate them.
- Hmm, okay.
(laughter)
- I think I have an idea which story belongs to you.
- I think I have an idea too.
(laughter)
- Thank you Dr. Rose.
- All right, so I think I know
which story belongs to which person.
I think the Christmas text belongs to Freddie.
I think the missed kiss belongs to Ivan.
I think conspiracy theory/the world is flat,
belongs to Gadiel.
The mini golf regular belongs to Carolina.
And, last but not least,
the dating story where you broke up after, belongs to Jazz.
- I tried to, you know,
make it a little bit more challenging.
- I tried to be vague. I thought from the get,
you were gonna put that story with me.
- She was great.
You know, I thought she was not going to get me the least.
- I just want to preface, I was a shy boy in high school.
Still hadn't had my first kiss.
We were on a camping trip, so it was dark.
That's an excuse.
I knew she was going to get it when
she was asking more specific questions.
There was really no way out.
- I feel good. Everybody here was really great.
Thank you all for opening up,
being vulnerable and sharing your stories,
and answering my questions as accurately as possible,
with the exception of Jazz and Ivan.
(laughter)
It was definitely harder than I expected it to be.
My degree might not be worth it if,
if I don't get this right, but I did, so yay.
Thank you.
