- Ready?
- What's the first thing
you noticed about me
and why do you think it stuck out?
- Um... your skin tone.
It's very pretty and brown.
And I can tell you
like you do makeup really well
because it looks really good.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Oh! When was the last time you lied?
And why did you?
- Mm hmm.
When was the last time I lied?
And why did I?
- I don't- I pride myself
on being very honest.
So I'm trying to think of.
Hmm. Okay...
Hmm.
- I like that you're honest. - Yeah...
Okay, well, I told my parents
I was coming to New York
for a birthday party.
Not a blind date. - Oh.
- So that's one of the
I guess that's a recent lie.
Yeah. - Oh, okay.
So you lie to your parents?
- No, I don't.
It was just... I don't know.
They're- they'd probably be weird
if I was going on a
blind date in New York.
And so I told them a birthday party
and we'll get there.
Yeah. Yeah. - Okay.
- Okay, my turn? - Yeah.
Okay, I like this question.
What's something
you think I should know about you?
- Okay. Something.
Again, because I'm so reserved.
- Are you reserved?
- Yeah, like...
But you'll feel- like you'll see
like if you're around me.
I am...
I'm very playful and like I joke a lot
and... not in like a harsh
roasting way, but
like a playful roasting
or something like that.
But it's just like fun.
But it's never like harmful.
Like I never hurt anybody's feelings.
But it's just like fun
roasting.
That's it. - Okay.
- This is a really good question!
All these questions are good.
When you think of us together
what are your biggest hesitations?
- Biggest hesitations...
I...
I guess...
- Okay, I'm trying to word this
without sounding harsh like I'm not.
I was going to say
try not to commit so soon, but
I don't want to rush it for it to end
so soon. Okay? - Yeah, makes sense.
- Okay, there you go.
So that would be your
hesitation was to go like slow?
- Yeah, go slow. Don't go fast.
- Gotcha. - Gotcha.
What about you? - Um.
I think that maybe...
I'm trying to think, I don't know.
I don't know yet.
Maybe a hesitation would be...
Are you like very...
like how are your-
What's the dynamic
in your relationships like?
Is it like, are you monogamous?
Are you open or...?
- Oh, monogamous.
- Okay. - You... are you open?
- I've... yeah, I've been in like open
relationships before. - Wow.
- So maybe that could be a hesitation
for both. - Okay. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
It could be. - I'm not opposed to
like monogamous relationships,
but I tend to
like open. - Interesting, okay.
I mean, I feel like there's like power
in doing that or something.
How would your parents react if you
brought me home as a partner?
- Um hmm.
That's a tough one.
Yeah, because I've never brought
a woman back home,
so they would probably...
be very awkward at first. - Oh.
- Yeah, probably very awkward
and maybe
maybe like shock for them, so...
Yeah. It wouldn't be an easy
process at all. - No? - No.
- Do they know that you talk to women?
- No. - They don't?
- But I don't really share
like a lot of my
like lovelife with my parents.
So it's like with men and women,
they don't really hear much. - Gotcha.
Okay. - What about you?
- My mom, she knows more.
My dad, not really.
But I figure like
if it's like if I date
someone is to the point that I got to,
you know, like introduce them,
I'll let them know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That's- I think that's
what I would do more.
So like it wasn't just me
telling them. - Yeah.
- You know,
I would hopefully
bring someone to them to show.
- Yeah. Same here. - Yeah.
All right.
Oh, this is a good question.
If your ex were here,
what would they warn me
about being in a relationship with you?
- Um, nothing I'm a
like breeze of fresh air like...
I'm just kidding.
I would say the only thing is
I can be moody sometimes.
Like if something doesn't go
my way, I will be like
I'll be more reserved.
I won't like participate
in conversation too much,
but like I won't lash out on them
because it's never their problem.
It's usually my problem. - Yeah.
- But that's it. - That you can be moody?
- Yeah. - That's not bad, I feel like it's human.
- Yeah. Thank you for understanding.
Can you be that way?
- Um, no, not really.
I don't think...
Yeah, I don't think that's
what my ex would say.
- No? - No.
I think my ex would probably say
Oh man, probably that I can...
this is going to sound bad.
So let me explain. - I'm interested.
- Probably that I can like
manipulate situations.
But I think that's how he would see it
from his perspective.
But I don't think so.
- Oh, you I think you're manipulating? - No.
Maybe persuasive.
- Oh, that's a cute word. - Not manipulating.
- What's next for us?
- Mhm. - Wow.
- Well, how long are you in New York for?
- I just moved back, so I'm here. - Oh!
- Oh, Okay, I'll be here too.
- Yeah? - Mhm.
Yeah, I think we should hang out.
- Definitely. Yeah. - Yeah.
What's like your favorite spot
in New York to eat up?
- I like tacos.
Caribbean food.
- Yeah. - So whatever.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- So then the Caribbean food
would be next for us. - Yeah.
- You like Caribbean food? - Mhhm. - Okay, it's a date.
- Okay. - Okay.
