- Did it hurt when you fell
from the vending machine 'cause you're such a snack.
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, my name is Lauren, I'm a production manager
in the entertainment industry.
I have a lot of experience with dating apps.
I'm on a good amount of them.
I have been in long-term relationships.
Obviously, I haven't had any long-term success,
or I wouldn't be here right now.
But you know, I'm hopeful.
Gotta keep a positive spirit!
- My name's Kyrina Kyrina, I'm a musician.
- Hi, my name is Dana, and I work for a
tech company in digital advertising.
- I'm Amber, I'm a chef.
- My thoughts on dating apps is
I haven't had the best luck, so to me
nothing kind of beats organically meeting someone.
- I've been on there, actively pursuing interests,
but it has not worked out thus far.
- I'll, like, be like okay,
I'm in the mood to text,
so let me "hey what're you doing?"
But after you're not doing anything interesting,
then I'm like "okay, let me find something else to do."
(laughter)
- My text game is pretty strong.
You know you have some anonymity there, you have a barrier.
You can take time to respond.
- I think I have game, low-key.
I just wanna see my options
and hopefully find my true love.
(upbeat music)
- Hello, everyone.
I'm Third Wheel.
Welcome to the group chat.
First question: describe yourself in three emojis.
I just wanna see what I would put,
if I were to pick three emojis.
I'm kind of a ham, so.
- Definitely use a cat because it just makes sense.
Oh, a unicorn, girl.
- Yes, I found a good one!
Okay.
- [Lauren] Hearts is cute, you know.
Means I think that she's like a lovable person.
And she likes cats.
I love the cool face, I use that a lot.
Honey pot, she likes honey, or she likes sweet things?
Mermaid, maybe she like, is into sea life?
- Ooh, tacos, okay.
- Tacos, for real! - Got it!
- Dana sent a dancing girl emoji.
Love that, 'cause I'm assuming she loves
to dance and I love to dance.
And a taco
which is funny!
Next question: What's your ideal first date in three emojis?
I was gonna put like, lips,
but that may be like, too forward.
Love music.
Food, pizza, great.
Girl doing a handstand?
That could be sexual.
- I think I'm gonna put like,
some outer space stars?
We can like, look at the stars.
- That's cute.
- That is cute.
- Amber put an airplane.
Oh, this is like you're intense, and breakfast.
This is definitely, we spent the night together,
so we're cooking breakfast in the morning.
I'm not mad at that.
Okay, next one, from Third Wheel.
Send a picture of your shoes.
Okay, this is big.
I'm a big sneaker-head.
So like, shoes are a big deal for me.
- Your shoes?
Oh wow.
(laughter)
- Hey, you have an advantage,
because your shoes are awesome.
- I have the coolest shoes ever.
- Amber has like a, like a fuzzy, I don't know.
It's kinda cool.
- [Amber & Dana] Yes!
- Honey, you got the fur popping.
Come through, fur.
- Dana's got like a short boot heel on.
Which I like, I really, really like.
Kyrina's got these kinda clunkier Sketcher-lookin' kicks.
I'm gonna send a picture of my shoes
just 'cause I'm cool like that.
- Oh! - Whose shoes are those?
- Contestant's!
- Hey contestant, Nike.
- Okay, Nike.
- Shoe-wise, Dana's, I think Dana's like,
kind of in the lead on all of these fronts.
Next question: monogamy or something else?
Mood!
Okay, I love Dana and Kyrina's answers.
Amber's was fine, but it's clear that, you know,
maybe she's not looking for something serious.
- Cats or dogs?
- Dogs all the way.
- Love that.
Kyrina said cats.
I kind of figured that, I have, she has six cats?
Oh, that's a lot.
Amber said you can't tame a (beep).
Facts.
- I think we connected.
Y'know, I think that she was really into my jokes.
- I have no idea how I did.
I said I have 6 cats,
and not a lot of people like cats like that.
- I think I did okay.
Some of my responses were a little awkward.
- I just, I don't know, y'know,
I gotta make hard decisions here.
Selfish choice, it's gotta be Kyrina, I think.
She has six cats.
I don't like cats that much.
Aw, she's cute!
She kinda looks like Lady Gaga.
I like her.
Aw, maybe I made a wrong decision.
Nah, I don't know.
I'll chat with Amber first.
What are you looking for in a partner in one sentence?
"Someone to eat my food."
What's your food?
- [Dana] I feel like you're gonna be good at this.
- What?
- You're not answering my questions.
Augh!
- I'm the slowest texter.
- She said "Soul food because
I," ooh.
Love that.
- Girl your (mumbles) game is on point.
Like I see the back and forth exchange there.
- Third Wheel said "this Third Wheel jumping in.
What's something that few people know about you?"
- (mumbles).
- I'm a witch.
I don't know how I feel about that.
Third Wheel, I didn't finish answering any of her questions!
That was so quick.
Now it's Dana's turn.
Hopefully Dana will respond faster.
I feel like she took a really long time.
- What's been the hardest part about dating?
Finding someone who is consistent.
- She said "I have the moves, some say like a young Janet."
- Oooh, you talk a big game.
I really don't, it's just me through the text message.
- What's your favorite music to dance to?
- Anything with a good beat that I can shaky my booty to.
- [Lauren] This is Third Wheel jumping in.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Pay off my student loans, probably save some.
- Travel
is like number one.
I wanna travel.
- Yes, traveling.
Dream destination?
We just asked each other the same question.
We're on the same page.
- And then I wanna do the little flags, too.
I think that's pretty cute.
That shows like, personality, right?
- Time is up.
Lauren, you now have five minutes to make your elimination,
choose your winner, who you'll meet IRL.
I'm nervous and sweating.
With Amber we talked a lot about food.
She's a chef, which I love.
We could eat, like all day long, I think.
- I think me and Lauren might
actually possibly be a match made in heaven.
- So Dana, I love what she had to say about
the hardest part about dating.
Finding someone who's consistent.
She also said she's got moves like Janet,
so we can get down on the dance floor.
So I'm totally into that.
- I feel like I did okay.
Either way, I had fun and it was a good time.
And I met great people.
- I think I'm gonna go with Dana.
- Friends?
- [Both] Wow!
- I'm sorry, Amber.
- It's the dog thing.
- It's the dog thing!
Give me a hug.
- Thank you, girl!
All right.
- Aw, she's really cute!
- It's sad that I have to go.
I thought we could have been lovers and friends.
But it's fine.
Your loss.
- Well it looks like I'm the last one left.
This is very exciting.
I'm still really nervous, though.
'Cause I have no idea-this is a blind meeting.
It's a blind date.
(upbeat music)
- [Both] Hello!
- Hi!
- [Dana] How are you?
- Good, how are you?
- Good, I'm Dana.
- I'm Lauren.
- Nice to meet you, Lauren!
- Nice to meet you.
- So was is the dancing emoji, or?
- Oh, yes, it was the dancing emoji,
I also loved your shoes.
- Oh, thank you!
- You said you could keep up
with me on the dance floor.
- Yeah, no, I think I fully can.
What about your destinations?
Have you been to Italy and Greece?
- I haven't been to Italy and Greece.
I'd love to go to Greece.
- Yes!
- And Italy, and maybe you could show me around?
- [Dana] I could!
And Santorini, Mykonos, those are like my favorite spots.
- [Lauren] Food, wine, travel!
This is like perfect, it's the perfect date.
- [Dana] Perfect match!
- Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, what do you say?
You wanna get out of here?
- Yeah, let's get out of here.
- Awesome, okay!
