[upbeat music]
- I know nothing about my date,
which makes me a bit anxious.
- The anticipation is killing me.
Hope she's gorgeous.
Hope she's smart.
Can't wait to meet future wifey.
- He doesn't eat past four o 'clock.
- She walked in the room and like her presence,
her energy was just like there and I'm like, I like this.
- My name is Tajah and I am 24 years old.
- My name is Dustin and I am 26 years old.
- I'm a video editor.
- I'm an accounts manager.
Can't tell you what company but just know it's top secret.
Ssh.
- I am from Akron, Ohio.
Go LeBron.
- Originally, I'm from Queens, New York.
- Two years, no three.
- About three and a half years now.
I can't lie, it's pretty rough.
Approximately zero people.
Phone's so dry, it went swimming last week.
- So I'm not technically dating anyone right now,
but everyone texts people,
just to flirt a little bit here and there.
- I'm really picky.
I have to make sure everything about her is 100.
If she's anything less than that, then she has to go.
- I am very particular in what I like
and I think I probably need to be
a little less picky going forward.
- [Interviewer] His name is Dustin.
- Oh, Dustin.
Sounds like he'd be Matthew McConaughey in a movie. [laughs]
- [Interviewer] Her name is Tajah.
- Tajah, I like that.
Tajah and Dustin, Dustin and Tajah.
Dajah, ooh.
- I'm like super nice, down to Earth and I think funny
and awkward, I feel like a lot of times,
my awkwardness is kind of cute.
- One is my voice, a lot of females think it's smooth.
Two, I'm a big listener and three, I have a big heart.
- I love tall men.
I love to wear heels, so anyone that I can like
feel small with, I think is just so attractive
and then, if you have some muscles
here and there doesn't hurt.
- I love thick women.
[sighs] I have big arms,
so I need to fill these big arms you know.
- [Interviewer] Do you like big arms?
- Oh, I think big arms are so attractive.
He'd pick me up, cradle me, let's cuddle.
Maybe crack some jokes here and there
and just like to have fun.
- I'm inquisitive.
I like to tell jokes, I love laughing.
If you don't have a sense of humor,
then there's no way we're gonna be together.
- Tonight, I am going to wear some
cute little heels I just got,
some jeans and this cutie blazer right here.
- Think I'm gonna go with this denim outfit I have on,
can't go wrong with denim and I know she gonna love
the sherlyn, see that, you gonna love it.
I know she like furry things.
- I don't know anything,
which is another thing that's making me anxious.
- And I know females can't say no to food,
so I picked two different restaurants.
One restaurant, Firdos Grill,
just in case, you know, she likes the meats
and the other one is "Blend On The Water",
where they have a nice view
and she's probably into some scenery.
- Probably bump some Lizzo, some Destiny's Child maybe.
- I listen to 90s R&B, that was the best time for love.
I'm hoping to find someone who I can take to the next level.
Spend the rest of my life with.
It may be a little far-fetched
but I wanna take it one step at a time.
- I wouldn't mind finding a husband tonight
but we will see, fingers crossed.
My mom says I look like Gabrielle Union.
- Some people call me Draymond Green
from the Golden State Warriors.
I don't think I look like him.
Some people call me Michael B. Jordan.
Again, I don't think I look like him
but I like the compliment.
- I've gotten Gabby Douglas too.
Oh, most definitely, Michael B. Jordan is number one.
- Rihanna, Sevyn Streeter and Normani.
Safe to say I have a thing for singers.
- I am a Aries-Pisces cusp.
- Sagittarius, stand up.
So, I've only had two official girlfriends.
- Four people
but maybe like one was really serious.
My longest relationship was two and a half,
almost three years.
That's a long time to be with the same person.
- Four years.
- My exes would say that I am nice, funny,
really down to Earth and not very emotional.
- I said I'm a good listener.
I was always there for them, I'm very dependable.
- Not to my knowledge, I hope I haven't been cheated on.
If I have, you should be ashamed of yourself.
- Can't lie, I have been cheated on and it sucks okay,
which is why I don't cheat.
- I'm a big ghoster unfortunately.
I just get bored.
I'm sorry to anyone out there who I ever ghosted.
- Some of the girls in my past needed to be ghosted.
They were just doing too much.
- No, go me.
- I've been ghosted before.
I don't know why and it was killing me inside for a while
because I feel like I didn't deserve it.
- [Together] The best thing that could happen
on this date is another date.
- The worst thing that could happen
is that he totally doesn't like me,
thinks I'm awkward and is not attracted to me.
- It's her walking out to be honest.
- Don't think I've ever embarrassed myself,
I hope I never do.
- Fart while I was eating and talking at the same time.
We went on another date.
- [Interviewer] What would you do if a guy farted while
[Tajah laughs] you were on a date with him?
- I think I would just laugh,
it's a normal bodily function, we all do it.
- I think secretly she probably does the same thing at home.
- Sometimes you know, bite the lip
or look up from underneath from the eyelashes,
maybe give him a little hand touch,
rub your hand on his arm.
- If I wanna be sexy, I'll take my shirt off
and then, I'll lower the tone of my voice and then,
now we here.
- If a guy took his shirt off on a date,
I think I would maybe like it.
- The sexiest thing my date could do
is be smart, that's sexy.
- To kiss me, or just be intelligent.
Let's talk about climate change or politics
or tell me about a good book you just read.
- [Together] It would definitely be the smile
- And then like, I love abs.
So like a washboard abs,
I think is so sexy.
Oh I drink, yes I do.
- I do not drink.
- [Interviewer] Are you okay with a date who doesn't drink?
- I'm okay with a date who doesn't drink.
It's not for everyone.
Does he not drink, is that, can I ask?
- [Interviewer] Are you okay with a date who drinks?
- I'm totally fine if she drinks, you know,
as long as she's not like,
I'm here to get drunk out my mind.
I don't discriminate.
The reason I don't drink is honestly pretty simple,
I just don't like it.
I've tried it, it's just not my thing.
- [Together] Beach.
- Probably time.
- Time.
- Morning person.
- All night.
- Let's go Kylie.
- Kylie.
- Ooh, both.
- Leather.
- [Together] iPhone.
- Who still has an Android?
They should like just get rid of them.
- Wish me luck.
[upbeat music]
- When we first met, we did a little handshake
and he held my hand for like 30 seconds and I was like
oh, this is a long handshake and he was like,
oh I just like the feel of your hand and I was like, okay,
starting off on a good foot here.
- At first, I was a little blown away.
I kind of like tripped over my words a bit.
She was like, hey I'm Tajah, I was like,
hi, I'm Dustin and then I shook her hand
for a really long time.
She was like, you give really long handshakes,
I'm like, yeah.
- I thought he was cute, seemed really nice.
- I can't lie, I was a little shocked.
When she walked in the room and like,
her presence, her energy was just like there
and I'm like, who's this boss ass chick walking in
all gorgeous, I was like, okay, okay, I like this.
- And he just had a very calming aura around him.
- Her eyes, beautiful eyes and I love a woman
with nice teeth, so tens all across the board.
- [Together] I was physically attracted to my date.
- Jamie Foxx, maybe.
I could see that.
Even personality too.
- She's like a combination of like,
Gabrielle Union and Keke Palmer.
So, Keke Union, you know, let's go with that.
- So, we went to this restaurant
on the water in Long Island City.
- She ended up picking plan B,
which was "Blend On The Water"
which had a nice ambience, a nice view, nice scenery.
We got to walk and see the city.
Beautiful.
The subway, you know, it's New York City,
why not take the subway.
- Mind you, I had heels on
but he was super nice, a gentleman, he always walked
on the street side and made sure I was on the inside.
- We talked about family on the way there,
we talked about college and she's never been
to Long Island City, so it was perfect.
She just was experiencing new things
as we're talking, as we're walking.
- Before we got there, he actually like held my hand,
we walked across the street, super cute.
- Get to the restaurant, I'm not gonna lie,
I set the reservation for the wrong restaurant,
it was at a different location.
- We get to our table, we sit down.
I order a glass of wine,
found out that he didn't drink, which is totally okay.
- She's looking around, I'm looking at her,
it's like looking at a kid at Disney World or something
and she was like such in awe and I'm like,
yeah I think I'm doing my thing right now.
Okay, okay, this is going really well.
We order our food, she loved the food,
we had a great conversation.
In the middle of us waiting for our food, her mom calls and
she like declines the call and I'm like, what are you doing?
She's like, that's my mom.
I'm like, pick up.
She's like, I don't wanna be rude.
I'm like, okay I respect that
but I also respect your mom, think you should pick up.
- And I called my mom back and I was like, hey mom,
I'm on a date, I'll call you back when I get home
and she was like, ooh with a hot man?
[laughs] and I was like,
I mean yeah, he's pretty nice mom, he's cool.
I could of called her when I got home but I just felt like
he was pressuring me to call my mom back.
We both had chicken.
- Boyo ala Plancha
and she had the crispy chicken.
- Pretty easy going.
- Wonderful.
Sensational.
Amazing.
- I think we had a little chemistry.
- The chemistry was at a all time high, I'm not gonna lie,
like a lot of things we agreed on and had in common
had me a little scared.
- We talked a lot about family,
he's like very into his family.
Careers and like, what his dreams and goals are
within his career and we talked a lot about like,
just finding yourself and being okay
with who you are as a person.
- Family, especially since her mom called.
We talked about siblings, our upbringing,
college, what really transformed ourselves
into being who we are today.
- We learned that we are very similar individuals
but the same time, we're very different
and we just have very similar ideals
about like, futures and things like that.
I got the feeling, a few times actually that,
he thought that I was a little boujee
cause of where I live and that, like I have a car
in New York and my apartment building has a parking garage.
- I don't think Tajah's boujee.
I think she likes what she likes and she has high standards.
People consider it boujee but I understand her.
She doesn't wanna settle for less.
Never settle.
- I do feel like he talked a little bit too much.
I feel really bad saying that.
There was at one point, he was like,
if I'm talking too much, let me know.
It was like more of a him talking 75% of the time
and then, I'm the other 25%, is that the correct math?
- It was like 50/50.
- [Interviewer] She said it was more like 75/25.
- I Plead The Fifth.
I don't think that was the case, I'm gonna stick with
50/50 and that's what I'm staying with, all right.
If she thought it was 75/25, she wrong.
- Brown. [bell dings]
- Like brown? [bell dings]
She had on some contacts,
they weren't like her real eyes but [laughs]
they were like brown green, like breen.
- Queens. [bell dings]
- Ohio. [bell dings]
- He's right after the Scorpio
cause his birthday's November 23rd.
Whatever that [laughs] is after Scorpio.
Libra? [buzzer sounds]
- Her birthday's March 21st, that's all I remember.
I'm not into Zodiac signs like that.
[buzzer sounds]
She has five [bell dings]
and they're like mostly on her left side
cause it's closer to her heart, where I'm trying to be.
So, I guess I'd be the sixth.
- He doesn't have any tattoos. [bell dings]
He works at [beep] [bell dings]
and he like answers phones and does something else
and he's gone up a few levels within the company.
- She's a video editor. [bell dings]
- So, he has two brothers and I think three sisters,
so five siblings. [bell dings]
- Two. [bell dings]
- He's allergic to peanut butter
and seafood. [bell dings]
- Bullshit. [bell dings]
[vortex closing]
- Dustin paid for the date,
after I asked if we wanted to split it 50/50.
- I paid for the date.
I got you.
- I was pretty comfortable with drinking
even though he doesn't drink.
- I was fine with her drinking.
I don't judge, I don't discriminate.
That's her thing, you know.
We went outside to see Long Island City.
So where it's located, across the water,
you can see Manhattan.
When we were exchanging numbers,
she asked if I had a Android.
Totally disrespectful, don't know why she asked me that.
[fast forwarding sound effect]
- Joking around, I thought he had an Android [laughs]
and I guess my reaction to him saying that was the best
and he went on this whole elaborate thing running around me
and was like, Oh my gosh, how rude,
how could you think I have an Android, like all this stuff.
It was funny, we took a selfie,
enjoyed the views by the water.
- She's a bad texter if she said it,
but then she saved my number
and she said she usually doesn't do that.
So, I don't know,
I'm kind of getting mixed signals at the moment.
So, I drove her home, made sure she got inside safe.
- And I went to go get out the car and he was like,
oh I'm gonna come out and I was like, okay, cool.
So, I get out of the car, he comes around the car
and he gives me a hug and I never know
when someone's gonna go in for a kiss.
I'm like, should I do it?
Should he do it?
No kiss happened, so I don't know if
he was just being a gentleman
and I didn't read the room right, what was going on.
- There was no kiss, no kissing on a first date.
She said she liked the date, I liked the date.
Totally different from anyone I've ever dealt with
in my life and she said the same thing as well.
So,
think date number two coming soon.
- [Interviewer] You drove her home,
but you took the train there.
It could have been one of two places,
so how did your car end up at that restaurant?
- A wise man never lets out his secrets.
I knew she would wanna pick the scenery, so I parked nearby.
I was thinking three steps ahead.
- I wouldn't have minded a kiss.
- I wish there will be a kiss on the second date,
if we make it that far, you know if she text me back.
Key word is if.
- I did find my date intelligent, which I found attractive.
- I found Tajah really intelligent.
- Four and a half hours long.
- I would say two hours.
- He doesn't eat past four o 'clock.
- Yeah, I don't eat past four p.m, I don't.
Oh, I definitely made an exception for this date
because I ate at like eight o 'clock in the morning
and I needed something to eat, you know, we had to go dinner
and I had to share a moment with someone else.
- So, thank you Dustin for breaking your rule.
I got the vibe that he still lives at home.
Yes, he still lives at home.
I think the only thing I did that I was slightly embarrassed
about was almost sliding on the way to the bathroom
with those wonderful shiny slippery floors.
- I didn't feel embarrassed at all on our date.
Why, she was embarrassed?
She just happens to trip a couple times.
I mean, as long as she tripping for me, I don't mind.
- I think I probably laughed more
cause he was talking [laughs]
- It was 75/25.
She laughed more, probably cause I was talking more,
according to her.
- [Together] I was most attracted to his/her mind.
- And he has a nice smile, nice arms too.
I was least attracted to the fact
that he still lives at home.
His mom cooks dinner for him.
- I was attracted to it all.
I don't know if her response was different.
Was it?
I do live at home with my parents.
My mom doesn't cook for me.
She cooks for herself and I just happen to eat it
cause I don't have time to cook or learn.
- And then his mom, has dinner waiting for him
when he gets home from work.
- There were no red flags.
Potential is pretty good.
I'm ready to put on my white one and surrender, can't lie.
I sent her a text when I got home.
Said hey, I'm home now,
tonight was really fun, had a good time.
She text me back hours later saying,
hey, I had fun too, glad you made it home safe,
even though I was already at work when she text me that.
Next text is coming in three business days.
- We texted last night.
I actually fell asleep before responding back
and so, I responded back this morning with, glad that he
made it home safely and that I had a good time as well.
I am glad that I went on this date.
I had fun and it's been so long that
I went on a date that I forgot how fun dates can be.
- Hell yeah.
I just wanna leave it as hell yeah.
- [Together] Five.
Five.
- I would say
- [Together] Four.
- Four
or three, three and a half.
Oh wow, I feel bad.
- Four and a half.
- [Together] Five.
- Four, despite our three and a half compatibility.
Maybe we need to learn more about each other.
- Seven.
- I'd go on a second date.
- I see myself going on a second, third, fourth,
the fifth and the, on a, fifth.
- Let's see, Dustin, when you see this video,
I had a great time on our date,
I think you're a very nice person, very ambitious
and I really think that is an attractive quality to have.
I had a good time, you're a gentleman.
Maybe we can try for a second date?
- Tajah, you're beautiful, you're amazing.
I really want a second date.
I hope we make it there.
Please text me back.
No for real, please text me back.
By the time this video comes out, I've probably texted you
three times in the past month.
Can you please text me back Tajah,
so we can go on a second, third, fourth date.
Don't block your blessings by not texting back,
check your phone.
You said you getting an iPhone 11.
By this time, you should have it.
What's the point in getting a new phone
if you're not gonna text back.
- Oh, he just texted me.
How was your interview, I just got here.
- I think she's potential to be future wifey.
