- Thank you.
- Have you been in any relationships before?
- I have.
I've been in two serious relationships.
Have you?
- I've talked to people, but I've never gone fully out.
'Cause I just-
For the longest time I was just like,
this is not like-
In high school I don't have time.
- [Button] Ask Sarah what kinds of things
she wants to do date wise if she gets a boyfriend.
- What do you want to do for the first date?
- I don't know. Hanging out or having fun.
That's my main thing.
How about you?
- I used to feel like I always have to do something
but I don't really feel that too much anymore.
But if you find a really good show, then you just gotta-
Just like fun to binge a good show with a good person.
Have good conversations.
- [Sarah] I agree.
Even if it's like a bad show
like it's funny to laugh about it and stuff.
- [Button] I have a dare for you two.
- [Both] Okay.
- [Button] I dare you two to hold hands for 30 seconds.
- 30 seconds?
- [Button] In silence and just look at each other.
- Wait- - Both hands.
- Oh. - Oh, okay.
- [Button] If you both consent.
- Yeah.
- Did she say in silence?
- [Button] In silence, look at each other.
(light music)
(Sarah laughing)
- [Button] Okay. I'm gonna red one more time.
You can stay holding hands
and if you two like each other
and wanna go on a second date.
Don't press me.
Here we go.
(buzzer blares)
- I'm not pressing it.
- I'm not pressing it either.
- Oh, it's Christmas lights. - Woo.
- Yay.
- You wanna hug?
- Yeah.
Let's go.
- [Producer] What are you gonna do for your second date?
- We go like mini golfing or something.
- That'd be cool. I've never been mini golfing.
- I don't know.
I've never been in a serious relationship,
so I don't have any crazy date experience,
but I'll figure it out.
- I have a list of date ideas.
I'll just go-
- You have a Google doc?
- Or, I have it in my notes. (laughs)
