- Nicole, I know we can't meet in-person right now
but we are gonna make this virtual first date lit.
What's good, Nicole?
How you doin'?
- [Nicole] I'm good, how are you?
- I'm chilling, chilling.
I'm Royce and I'm 26 years old.
- I'm Nicole and I'm 23 years old.
- I am a content creator and a social media manager.
- I'm an executive assistant for a design company
and I work directly under the CEO.
- I am from Harlem, New York.
- I'm from Montclair, New Jersey
and I'm a born and raised Jersey girl.
My dating life right now has been very dry.
But I would like to meet someone
so that way we can kinda build a bond during this quarantine
and then hopefully go on a date afterwards.
- I'm not actively dating
but I'm not-not actively dating either.
Only virtually would not be enough for me.
Starting out virtually
and planning to meet at some later date,
yeah, I could do that.
I kinda like that idea because
then it forces you to kinda get to know the person
and not just be attracted to them physically.
- I definitely think I can establish a bond with someone
because right now would just be getting to know each other
and it would be more than just physical attraction
and be really getting to know that person.
About a year and a half.
- It's been about a year and nine months now.
Thick, tall, attractive.
- So I like athletic guys,
I like them tall, I love tattoos,
I like to see that this guy goes to the gym
'cause I do, too.
Okay I actually have to think about that.
[laughs]
I don't even, I actually didn't even think about that.
I think just like, jeans and a cute top.
I really doubt that they're gonna see my whole body
so just something like cute
to make it look like I did try a little.
- I think I'm gonna go with
this nice blue Club Monaco jacket,
a little black t-shirt under,
black and coal beanie,
and these slippers because I'm in the crib right now.
- I'd love to have a love connection with this person
and hopefully start talking more.
- I'm hoping for a friend at least,
and if it goes well definitely
a little bit more than just a friend.
- I've gotten Mila Kunis a lot because I have big eyes.
- Idris Elba.
[laughs]
That's not a fact at all.
- So my number one is Michael B. Jordan
and then I'd have to go with Trey Songz
and Odell Beckham Jr.
- Right now, it's Lori Harvey.
- Four years.
- Two years.
- I was cheated on and honestly
I was just tired of all the lies.
- It ended because of distance
and it was too much time in-between seeing each other.
- They'd definitely say that
I'm someone who loves with my whole heart
and that I'm very compassionate.
- They'd definitely say I'm funny and they'd say I'm caring.
- I've dated about two people
and I've said "I love you" to both of them.
- I've said it twice.
- No, never.
- Yes, I have.
- Yeah, I have.
- Yes, I have.
- Yes.
- No.
- Yes, I've definitely been ghosted before.
- I'd definitely say that we have a real connection
and that we continue to talk afterwards.
- That we stay in contact after
and eventually we meet in-person sometime.
Sorry my dog is just barking outside right now,
he's trying to get in.
- We hate each other.
- That it ends early.
Not engaged, on your phone,
just not really being in the moment.
- If they're on their phones and distracted
and not engaged in the conversation,
that's a huge red flag.
- I would say lowering the voice, direct eye contact
and if she's nearby definitely grabbing on her hand.
- When I'm trying to be sexy
I usually just like flirt with my eyes.
[jazz music]
[laughs]
That's so, that's like so awkward.
[laughs]
- She could look sexy, but if she's smart as well,
that's the sexiest thing she could do.
I'm gonna be all over her.
- I'd say just being smooth, like the way he talks,
how he carries himself, like that's pretty sexy to me.
- The face and the mind.
- I'd have to say their smile.
- My arms.
- The most modest thing people say to me is my eyes.
[laughs]
The least modest thing would probably be like, my...
[laughs]
Can I say that?
The least modest thing people have said
has definitely been my boobs.
- No.
- I'm Puerto Rican, I do speak Spanish.
I'm not 100% fluent but I do wanna learn.
- I don't like dairy.
- I don't like chocolate ice cream.
- Yes.
- Yeah, socially.
- Words of affirmation. - Words of affirmation...
Is definitely a big one for me.
I'm very active on social media.
- Very active.
- I definitely love Instagram.
- Beach. - Beach.
- Money.
- Time.
- Night owl. - Night owl.
- Leather.
- Lace.
- Iphone. - Iphone.
- Vanilla.
- Chocolate.
- Scrambled.
- Over-easy.
- Hey Royce, I'm definitely excited for our date later
and hopefully we have a good connection.
- Nicole, I know we can't meet in-person right now
but we are gonna make this virtual first date lit.
- All right, I'm nervous but...
Wish me luck. - Wish me luck.
[upbeat rock music]
- [Royce] What's good, Nicole?
How you doin'?
- [Nicole] I'm good, how are you?
- I'm chillin', chillin'.
- [Producer] Hey guys!
- Hey, hey. - Hey.
- How's the date going?
- It's definitely going well.
Yep.
- Am I annoying you?
Am I annoying you right now?
[laughs]
- No, never.
- Maybe, a little.
- Oh, right.
Oh, Royce.
Nice.
- I'm just kidding.
- All right, continue.
I will talk to you both tomorrow, hope the date goes well.
- Okay.
Press audio record.
Okay, we're good.
- No.
In the crib is like a little too much.
- I was definitely comfortable,
I felt more literally at-home being in my own element.
- She sent me on a Zoom like ID number and a password.
- So we both planned to meet
on our Zoom call around like 8:30
and I had sent him the link
so I was just kinda there waiting at first
and I was definitely nervous
because obviously did not know what he looked like.
Well he was wearing a hat
but I could see that he had like, braids
so he definitely had like, longer hair.
- Her hair was really long, I think it was red.
- We talked about being in quarantine
and how we're doing with that.
- The first thing was just connecting over the quarantine.
Two hours. - Two hours.
- Great.
- Fluid.
- Good.
- I don't even know a word for it,
but the chemistry was definitely there.
- What we studied in school.
- Our career interests.
- I would imagine, yeah, seeing some like,
licking of the lips actually going on so maybe.
- Honestly I have no idea.
Royce had a black T-shirt on
and he had like a grayish black beanie.
If we were actually on a first date,
I guess it depends where we were going
but I hope he'd like try a little more.
- She had like a top on, it was like little strap top.
Like it was black, like dark, maybe it could have been blue.
She kinda had the red hair going on,
so give her a little Scarlett Johansson action.
- I don't think any celebrity.
Not necessarily,
but I'm not sure if that was because it was a virtual date,
I'm sure it would probably a little different
if I was sitting right next to him.
- From what I saw, I could really just see her face
and yeah, she was cute, though.
- I was more physically attracted to him
only because he had such a great personality.
- I was definitely more attracted to her later
but I don't think it was more physical,
it was just, like we were bonding and talking, so.
When it started we hopped on the Zoom,
we did a little talking about quarantine,
that kinda led us into talking about like,
profession and careers.
- Then we took it to Facetime
and I showed him around my apartment
and he showed me his.
He also showed me his cute dog.
- And while I was showing her my room
actually she saw the drink I was making
so she asked me what I was drinking
so I ended up showing, making another drink
while she was asking that.
- We just, honestly we just talked the whole time.
- Yeah, definitely, she was smart.
- Yes.
- That's funny because while the date was going on,
I was kinda thinking about like,
"How does this, how are we even
supposed to like end this kinda thing?"
But it ended very naturally,
we were talking about TV shows and stuff
and she was hungry or whatever
so I was like, oh, you mind if
I make some food after this
and then she was hungry and I was definitely hungry too
so we were both trying to go get some food.
[laughs]
And that kinda led us to like, oh well,
I'll talk to you later kinda thing.
- We ended up exchanging Instagrams
and we told each other to stay in-contact
and that was basically it.
Like, we ended it on a really good note.
Yeah, I definitely did.
- Definitely did.
- That was really all we could do.
- My favorite part of the whole date
was talking up my dog and him being a goddamn bozo
when I went and called him, he didn't wanna come,
so it took me like five minutes to get him off the bed.
- I'd say the fact that we were able
to just kind of be ourselves.
- I know we talked about her YouTube channel,
how she was trying to pretty much find out
where she wanted to go with it.
- Royce is a content creator
so what he wants to do is help like build small brands
that are passionate about their company.
- No.
No exes were brought up.
- We actually didn't.
- Yeah, I had a drink.
- No.
- Interesting.
- Driven.
- No.
- No, we had really good conversation.
- The very beginning.
- I guess the most awkward was
finding like a way to leave the date.
- No. - No.
- No.
Other than my dog not coming when I called him.
- No I was actually proud of myself.
No, not embarrassing.
The only thing was he couldn't figure out
how to use the Zoom
and it's something I don't ever really think about,
like how someone handles their technology.
- I think her friend was there as well, like in the back.
And there was this one time where she was like,
"Oh, my friend's laying across the bed,"
and I could tell she might have
felt a little awkward about it.
The ice was broken when she said it.
Yes.
- Yeah, I'd say I laughed a lot.
- Probably me.
- Maybe me?
- I was attracted to like the way she spoke,
it just sounded very confident
and everything she was saying.
- I was really attracted to his personality,
like he was very driven and motivated.
- Nothing I can really recall,
it's kind of really hard to tell on a first date.
- I'd say the fact that he does have long hair,
I'm not really into like, long hair.
- No, no red flags.
Definitely not from the first date.
- The only thing that I'd say was a red flag
was that his apartment was really messy.
- About a three.
- Four.
- Five.
- Three.
- Two.
- Three and a half.
- Three.
- Four.
- Two.
- Black top, think like black pants as well.
- Black shirt and a beanie.
- I don't know if I could tell her eye color.
Dark though, dark eyes.
Yeah, I don't know.
I could be completely wrong.
- Brown.
- New Jersey.
- Uh, I think in New York.
- We didn't get that far.
We didn't ask that question, I have no clue.
- I think, two?
- Whatever month is February.
- Virgo?
- That's funny, I wanted to ask her that question
but I definitely didn't get a chance
because we were talking about movies so much.
- Honestly we never talked about it.
- She is an executive assistant and she also bartends.
- He's a content creator.
- Montclair, New Jersey.
- Manhattan.
- Montclair State.
- Skidmore University.
- No clue.
- We never talked about that.
Not yet, but probably later I will.
- Maybe later.
I don't know, you'll find out.
- Yes.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Yeah, it was definitely a great experience.
I have no regrets.
- Yeah, it was bizarre but like, it definitely was fun.
Got to connect with somebody while self-isolating, so yeah.
I'm glad I did it.
- Hey Royce, it was really great meeting you.
I definitely hope we stay in contact
and maybe we'll see each other soon.
- Yo Nicole, I was your first virtual date,
you were my first virtual date,
thank you for going on that experience with me,
you was cool, it was nice to meet you
and hopefully we'll talk again.
