- I guess I should sit down, right?
- Yeah, yes.
- What do we got, an hour?
- That would be a good thing to do.
- Not a lot of space, but I, you know.
- Yeah.
- You mind if I put my leg like that?
- No, it's fine.
- All right, cool, cool.
Let's get some intimacy going on.
(laughing)
So.
(upbeat music)
- My name is Sam, I am a Sagittarius,
and a Freelance writer in New York.
I've been single for seven years.
And baby, I'm looking for love.
(laughing)
I am looking for love, though.
I used to think I was looking for someone, you know,
smart, funny, who liked the same movies,
but then those people turned out
to be, like, emotionally broken.
I do let astrology kind of play into my dating life.
I am always attracted to Scorpios.
Since I've been ostensibly single for seven years,
I'm obviously doing something wrong,
so maybe the stars will help me find my match.
(upbeat music)
- [Sam] So what do you like to do for fun in New York?
- Uh, I drink a lot.
- Okay.
- Functioning alcoholic.
- Okay, great.
- My, my fridge, full of Trader Joe rosé.
- So you're preference is wine?
- Ah, rosé.
- Rosé specifically.
- Specifically rosé.
- Okay.
- And then if It's 80 degrees or higher, rosé.
- Oh my god, you like rosé.
- I love rosé.
- I hate rosé.
- Ahh!
- Alex is a nix for me, canceled.
(laughing)
- [Sam] Hello.

basically five years now.

- Tragically, like my friends set me up with somebody-
- Mm-hmm.
- who they think is perfect for me and-
- Mm-hmm.
- we have an awesome time together and then we
become best friends.
So I don't know if I'm getting friend zoned
(laughs)
or if like I'm friend zoning them or what the deal is.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- I'm not exactly sure.
- Okay, and what's your sign?
- Cancer.
- Cancer. - Cancer, yeah.
- Cancer, whoa.

(laughs)

- What's your favorite animal?
- Favorite animal? - Yeah.

- A cliché lion? Lions aren't cliché
- Or the silverback gorilla.
- Okay well that's highly specific, why?
- Absolutely.
I saw the silverback gorilla in Africa, in Uganda
in the jungle. - Oh wow.
- And ever since then, I was like obsessed.
- Like I want a tattoo of a silverback gorilla.
- Oh my god.
I just went to the zoo which is not Africa,
but there were zebras.
- David Attenborough would say, the zebra.
- The zebra.
For the rest of the date can you do
a David Attenborough accent?
- The rest of the date?
Do I have to sabotage myself like this?
- Clearly.
- Because I will, sure.
(laughing)
- Okay so now as David Attenborough, tell me what
you like to do on a first date.
- What does David Attenborough like to do?
- No what do you do, but with a strange accent?
- Your commanding me to do this accent.
- Tell me-
- It's making me very uncomfortable.
- about your perfect first date.
- But I'm gonna do it.
Um, I would go to get Mediterranean food.
(laughing)
My thoughts on Matt.
Honestly I'd put Matt on a cusp.
I really like someone who can keep up with me
and even though that was a lot to handle,
I liked it.
(laughs)
Um, what's his sign?
- [Speaker 1] Scorpio.
- I (beep) knew it.
- Well what do you like to do on a date?
- I'm a foodie, so I'll definitely say-
- Okay
- I got, yeah, I got to a good restaurant.
Whether it's like a really, really nice one
or maybe one of those dive bars type of deals.
- Mm-hmm.
- Maybe like a concert after.
- What kind of music are you into?
- Um, all over.
Well the most recently music wise I've been to
is a festival, the Newport Jazz Festival.
- Okay I want to the Newport Folk Festival.
- Oh wow.
- I don't go to the jazz festival because I can't
go to Rhode Island twice in one summer.
(laughs)
But, uh, yeah.
- Yeah, they're dope, they're really dope.
I love them.
- I hear such good things about the jazz festival.
- Yeah, oh man.
- Yeah Brian is a cusp for me.
Easy conversation, clearly a fun guy.
So, yes I would go on a second date with him.
- I guess I should sit down, right?
- Yeah, yes.
- What do we got, an hour?
- It would be a good thing to do.
- Not a lot of space but I, you know.
- Yeah.
- You mind if I put my leg like that?
- No, it's fine.
- All right, cool, cool.
Let's get some intimacy going on.
(laughing)
[Inaudible 08:04.26].
- What's your name? - Sir.
- Sir. - Mm-hmm.
- Sam. - Sam.
- Yeah. - I like that, three letters.
- Yeah. [Crosstalk] - Alignment.
(laughing)
Are you into alignment, into astrology?
- Oh yeah. - Okay.
- So like, what's your sign?
- Sag.
- Me too.
(laughs)
Wait, when's your birthday?
- December 14th.
- What, what?
- Is your birthday December 14th?
- Wait, hold up.
We have the same birthday.
- No way.
- That's creepy.
- Okay that is creepy.
- Wait, not really creepy.
Maybe this is meant to be.
- Whoa, this is so much so fast.
(laughing)
Sir is a nix for me which is crazy because
we have the same birthday.
I just felt like it was too much, too much, too fast.
(upbeat music)
So my dates are all done,
and here's who I placed on the cusp.
David who's an Aries.
Ryan who's a Virgo.
Clay, Libra.
And Matt, Scorpio.
Out of these, Matt nixed me.
But everyone else said they'd go on a second date with me.
- She was really easy to talk to.
There was nothing really awkward,
kind of clicked and flowed.
- I think it went pretty well.
It was pretty fun.
- She speaks French.
I speak French too.
She's half Canadian so.
It went well.
- All in all, she wasn't my type.
You know.
You get that feeling when it's your type or not.
You know.
- I don't like being rejected, so I feel like indignant
that one person nixed me especially since it's the sign
that I usually like end up falling for.
But Scorpios have only ever broken by heart,
so this is probably for the best.
And it's exciting to know that three of the people
that I cusped are also potentially interested.
(mellow music)
I understand that Clay is like allegedly my star match,
but I am a Sag, I love taking risks.
So I think I'm gonna go with David.
The zodiac definitely influenced my decisions
a little bit.
I felt like the choices that I was making
matched with the things that I think about those signs.
I chose David because out of the three people that I cusped
who cusped me back, I felt like there was just
the greatest potential based on like the other
non-astrological things I'm into in a person.
He's really put together and business.
I'm a weirdo, so like, who knows how long
he'll tolerate that and how long we'll like vibe,
but definitely the most potential,
and I'm excited to try it out.
- Is this the part that I take her number down?
