Welcome to psych irl.
My name is Donna and today I'm going to be interviewing my cousin who is 21 years old.
She's never been in a relationship, never been on any dates, never had a boyfriend,
and actually I know a couple people who are in the same exact situation.
I've also read studies that millennials are getting married later and later.
So by doing this interview i hope you get some insight into that and I'd love to know
your thoughts and feelings.
Do you relate?
Do you not relate?
And Why do you think there is this trend?
What is your name and what is your age?
My name is Marygold Martinez and I'm 21 years old.
I actually never dated or had a relationship before mostly because the people that like
me, I didn't really like.
The person that I liked, didn't like me back.
Oh I actually confessed to him in sophomore year but it wasn't because I wanted to be
together.
He was with this girl and I thought like, "oh no I think I'm jealous".
So, you know maybe if I confessed to him, it will go away.
-what will go away?-
The feelings will go away.
But it does not work like that.
I don't think I've ever been pressured to be in a relationship because of friends.
They were more into their own relationships and my family is Filipino.
So, they were like "oh you should not be in a relationship.
You shouldn't have a boyfriend.
You have to go to school.
Do your college."
and I'm like okay.
I've probably liked people, but then I was like I probably just like him as a friend.
So, I didn't do anything
-So you had a crush on a friend?-
Maybe. Maybe I've had a curst on him but think "nah".
Yeah, I'm not sure.
- you're not sure?-
yeah.
You don't know whether you like someone or not?
yes.
Sometimes I'm like "do I like this person?"
I'm just "mmm probably not".
So, I just go "we're friends.
whatever."
-so, what's the difference then because the first time you were talking about you said you actually know you like this person-
Oh because I was jealous.
I do not actively look for a boyfriend.
I'm more focused on what goals I have to do compared to like "oh okay I'm trying to find
a boyfriend".
Basically for me, it's if I have someone I like and then we end up together then okay.
But then I'm not really looking.
So, right now I'm trying to be a performer.
Well I am a performer, but I'm trying to get more work from it.
Before hand also, I was actually a nursing major but then I stopped that to be a performer.
I didn't feel like it was for me.
So right now I'm focused on finding more performing work and being a performer.
And that's redundant but yeah.
Most likely I feel like the other person will not really be happy with how I'm acting towards
him because I feel like most of the time when you see a couple they're almost always together
most of the time and they will find a way to spend more time together.
Since I'm a really big big super introvert, sometimes I really do not like seeing people
for every day or like for a long period of time.
Unless I really like that person like a lot.
If you were an animal, I'd love to see you everyday.
Maybe when I'm like 40 I should be worried because I want a baby.
Not now but I want a baby (laughs).
I would say my ideal relationship would be, we would be there for each other.
Although you're kind of messed up sometimes.
They know like these bad things about you, but they're still with you till the end and
just like being there for each other and liking each other.
I don't really know, okay?
Alright so in my opinion when me and Marygold would talk about her and being in relationships,
I always got this uncomfortable vibe.
So, she agreed for me to set up a Tinder account and for me to take it over.
My goal for this is not for her to actually find a date and talk to a guy on Tinder.
It's for her to entertain the thought of being in a relationship, so I'm not going to be
serious.
I'm going to be funny.
I'm going to be awkward, but again it's for her to be comfortable with entertaining the
thought of a relationship.
How do you feel about this guy?
You just..
Well I want to know what your type is.
I'm just going to like everyone.
You're going to like everyone?
I like his money.
He has a lot of money.
He is too emotional.
Awful kisser.
He doesn't want to be here.
He's boring.
He's a designated driver.
He doesn't want to be on Tinder.
Someone made him do it, I bet.
Perfect for you.

I didn't watch super yet, but I do watch it now.
Before I thought it was creepy.

You're body shaming this man.
I'm sorry.

He might hold your hand.
Do you like holding hands?
My hands are sweaty.
Oh would you date someone with a child?
If I like the person.
Oh you have a new message.
