07x01 - No More Situationships

[bunniefuu]

[man] I'm scared because what if something
happened with a girl I catch feelings for

don't feel the same way towards me.

♪ Ain't no mountain high

[men shout] Let's go!

I'm here to give myself a genuine shot
at finding real love.

[woman] Looks won't be there
when we're 80,

so it's very important to me
that someone loves me for who I am.

Because that's all that matters.

Everyone, everyone,
everyone deserves love.

♪ ...trouble, I'll be there on the double... ♪

I want that person.
I want it now, and I'm gonna find him.

♪ You got love in your heart
Got love in your heart... ♪

[man 2] It feels like she's a dream,
like she was made specifically for me.

[woman] It's such a refreshing thing
to just be so emotionally passionate.

[woman 2] I've never felt a love
this pure, yet fierce.

[man] You've shown me love.

[man 3] I did not think
it's possible to feel this way.

[woman 3] For the first time,
I'm 100% myself.

[man 4] I just don't think
love alone is, like, enough.

It's not fair.

How he could be so sure...

[sniffles] ...then just, like, not?

If I wasn't engaged,
I would have sex with you.

-[man 5] I think you were just jealous.
-[woman 4] I still watched.

-It turned me off.
-I feel literally betrayed.

[woman 5] I'm trying to, like,
rationalize where it went wrong.

[woman 6 sobbing]

[man 6] I don't want this
to be the way our story goes.

I love you.

[woman] I love you.

♪ You don't have to worry, but, baby... ♪

[man 7] I can't imagine
a future without her.

[man 8] One of the greatest things
is to love someone and be loved.

[woman 7] I love you to death.

Can that love get us to the altar?

[officiant] Please rise.

I'm feeling it ♪

Hey, ladies.

-Hi!
-[laughing] Hi!

Gentlemen!

-Hey!
-What's up?

-Welcome, welcome.
-Welcome, guys.

-What's up, man?
-[Nick] Grab a seat.

-Let's go.
-[Vanessa] Hello, everybody.

-[man 9] Hey-hey.
-Hello.

I'm Vanessa Lachey.

And I'm Nick Lachey.

And welcome to Love Is Blind!

[cheering]

Whoo!

What was it about Love Is Blind
that appealed to you?

Looks fade. I want somebody that's
gonna choose me through thick and thin.

I've dated based off looks,

and so far it's gotten me nowhere.

This will hopefully allow me
to find someone who will accept me

for both my strong self and my weak self.

What I love about this experience

is people get to know me
for me and who I am on the inside.

I'm really excited
to talk about the future.

In the conventional dating world,
when you're on date one, two,

you come off as crazy to be like,
"So, do you want kids?"

"How do you see yourself being a husband?"

Nothing's off limits!
That's the beauty of this.

You really truly wanna get to everything.

I've never been
in a long-term relationship.

I've only ever been in a situationship.

Am I just old? I've never heard
the term "situationship" before.

I'm learning so much.

It's because you have been
lovingly married for a long time.

Out here, it's not good.
Ten out of ten don't recommend.

We can pretend to be
in a situationship later if you want.

[laughing]

In the dating world, a lot of people
aren't looking to marriage.

I think it's part of the culture.
I think it's in the music.

Bringing everyone here
for the same purpose

kind of hones in on the goal.

Dating seems so random.

This process is a lot less random, right?

It's kind of self-selecting.

We're ready to get married.

We're ready to find that connection.
I'm trusting the process.

I think the way that you sequence
things in the real world is physical,

and then you do emotional.

This really kind of retro-engineers it.

-"Retro-engineers it." I like that.
-[laughing]

I am so into my work.

I just don't stop to, like, look around,
go on dates and take the time.

This really forces me
to make this a priority, finally.

I'm someone who really prides myself.
I've accomplished a lot.

Like, you go to college.
You get your dream job.

And I had my dream job.
I made a lot of money.

And I wanna find love so bad,
and my job wouldn't let me,

so I actually quit my job to be here.

Well, we encourage you to dive right in.

-Yeah, I'll go for it.
-[Nick] I love it.

I love it.

Well, over the next ten days,
you'll finally have the chance

to fall in love based solely
on who you are on the inside.

[Vanessa] If you fall in love

and find somebody you wanna spend
the rest of your life with,

you'll get engaged,

and then you will finally see your fiancé
for the very first time.

[laughing]

In just four weeks,
you will be at your wedding,

and there, you will have to make
the most important decision of your life.

-Will you get married?
-Whoo!

Or will you choose to walk away forever?

Is love truly blind?

We certainly hope you prove it is.

No more situationships.

[laughing]

[Vanessa] The moment
you have all been waiting for,

the pods are officially...

[both] Open.

[cheering]

[man 10] Let's go!

[man 11] Let's go!

[Vanessa] Let's go, ladies.

[cheering]

-[man 12] Get after it.
-[man 13] Come on!

[Taylor] Oh, my God, this is so crazy.
This is game day.

Your first date, boys. Let's go!
This could be your wife! Whew!

-[man 14] Can I ask your name?
-Ashley W.

And the "W" stands for "wife," thank you.

[laughing]

-[man 15] Can I ask you a deep question?
-Please.

-What's your favorite Trader Joe snack?
-[laughs]

I literally live on their Overnight Oats.

If you wanna be, like, extra sweet,
you can mix in Biscoff

and then do strawberries
and blueberries instead.

That should be ill*gal.

I hate lettuce, hate everything about it,
and I won't eat anything with it on top.

Uh...

-[man 16] How old are you?
-[Monica] So I'm 36.

I definitely have hesitation
where you are a bit older.

How old are you? Let's start basic.

-I'm 28.
-[Ashley A] I'm 31.

How do you feel about that?

-Age is nothing but a number.
-That is a fact!

It's hard in your 30s.
We're tucking through the clearance rack.

Trying to find a man, find, like,
a hidden gem back on the back floor.

Whoo! I'm, like, sweating.

Still shocks me on why I'm single.

[pop music playing]

Definitely isn't from lack of trying
or from lack of interest.

I've always been the person
that wanted to get married,

especially because my mom and dad
got divorced when I was six,

and then, you know, she remarried after
that, and that one didn't work as well.

I just remember
when I was younger being like,

"Don't worry, Mommy,
one day we're gonna have

a daddy like the guys in the movies."

I will be the one to get married
and to stay married.

-[Tyler] Who do I have the pleasure of...?
-Ashley A, who's this?

-This is Tyler. How are you?
-[Ashley A] I'm well. How are you?

-[Tyler] Oh, I'm nervous. I'm sick.
-Oh, are you?

-I am very nervous.
-[Ashley A] You shouldn't be nervous.

-Especially with me. I'm easy to talk to.
-[Tyler] No, you have a soothing voice.

But it's like... [exhales]

So, let's start, like, easy.

-What do you like to do?
-I love being outside, a hike.

-Nice.
-[Tyler] Recently got a puppy.

-About three months ago.
-Oh!

-So...
-[Ashley A] What kind?

Australian Shepherd.
She's my hiking buddy.

-Nice!
-[Tyler] What about you?

[Ashley A] I like to try new restaurants.

I'm a big foodie.

-Okay. I'm a huge food guy. Love to cook.
-[Ashley A] Nice.

-Ooh, you cook?
-[Tyler] Yes.

-Let me write that down. [laughs]
-[Tyler laughs] Yeah.

[Ashley A] Let me think
of what else that's easy.

[laughs] Sorry, I had things to ask,
and then my nerves...

-It's okay. I love that you're nervous.
-You seem calming.

Your voice has brought my edge down a lot.
Like, this is...

-I'm glad.
-[Tyler] Yeah.

-[Ashley A] Awesome!
-This is good. What do you do for work?

-I'm a marketing director.
-[Tyler] Okay.

[Ashley A] I also sit
on the board of a nonprofit

that's geared towards women and children.

I love that you do that, honestly.
Because that's one of my big things.

Like, I refuse to not help
anyone that can't help themselves.

It's a "pay it forward" mindset.

You know what I'm saying? If you're
blessed, it's like, why not bless others?

-Yeah. As far as kids...
-Yes.

[Tyler] That's a big thing.

-Do you want kids?
-[Ashley A] I do want kids.

In an ideal world,
let's say I leave here with, like, my man.

And we get married...

-You will leave here with your man.
-Okay! I love the energy.

-Stay on my mind, girl.
-[both laugh]

I hope so.

Tyler, something about him
being nervous that was attractive.

I just think it's attractive
when guys can be vulnerable

and be themselves.

[laughs] This is nuts.

I can tell that there are, like,
some good people behind the wall.

And I can't wait for my next date.
It's crazy.

[laughing] It is nuts in here.

-Hello! What's your name?
-Ashley A.

I'm Nick Dorka.

"Dork" with an "A" is my last name.

-[pop music playing]
-♪ Yeah... ♪

-Good afternoon.
-This is cute.

What's cute, me?

[laughing]

You know, I like to be flirty.
I like to be sarcastic.

Tara, what's going on?

Anything you wanna talk about,
I'm here to chop it up like Caesar salad.

Do you think, based from what we talked
about, your friends would like me?

-I think so, yeah.
-You think so?

[Tara] Yeah.

-[laughs] Based off this conversation.
-You think?

I think I would
certainly impress your friends.

Who?

-What sports did you play?
-I play basketball.

I love it.

-You were a sh**ting guard, weren't you?
-How'd you know?

-I could tell by the voice.
-Okay, okay.

-[laughs]
-He is a smooth talker.

F-boy, question mark?

-I've been an athlete my whole life.
-Hey, I love it.

And I work in professional football now.

Please tell me it's the Commanders.

No, it's the better team.

[Nick D] You're a Ravens fan?

-Well, they pay my bills, babe.
-[laughing]

I was kicker and punter...

You are way smooth-talking to be
a kicker and a punter. I don't believe it.

[Nick D laughs]

No, yeah, I was a kicker and a punter.
Like, I was an All-American.

-What teams did you...
-So, I didn't play for any NFL teams.

-[Katie] Did you do XFL?
-XFL, CFL.

Believe it or not, I wore a visor
and an arm sleeve as a kicker.

You're going down in history
as the swaggiest punter-kicker.

[Nick D] I appreciate that.

I'm even more swaggy
when you see me in person.

-[chuckles]
-[Nick D] I'mma be straight up with you.

I'm extremely blessed to get the chance
to talk to you right now, tell you that.

-Aren't you the charming one?
-Don't miss me too much, okay?

This experiment
is the best thing I've done in my life.

You don't know who you're gonna talk to.

You don't know
if you're gonna leave single.

You don't know if you're gonna get down
on one knee in a couple weeks, right?

She cool as sh*t.

-[pop music playing]
-♪ I got the taste... ♪

But I don't think I've ever been in love.

-Hello-hello.
-[Hannah] Hello.

Honestly, I don't.
It's a little bit scary.

That's the part
that scares me a little about this.

I love my best friends and my family,
but this is a romantic type of love.

I get anxious. I get nervous.

I overthink things.
My stomach starts to turn,

but whenever I get nervous,

whether it was for football
or it was for work,

it meant that it really mattered to me.

My name is Nick D.

-Nick D.
-[Nick D] Yeah.

-[Hannah] I'll remember, Nick D.
-Yeah, you will.

-Who do I have the pleasure of...
-My name's Hannah.

Hannah! Has anyone ever told you that
your name spelled backwards is the same?

-Crazy, right?
-[both laugh]

-How old are you, Hannah?
-I am 26.

-How old are you?
-[Nick D] Twenty-six! Okay.

I'm 28.

Twenty-eight. You're a young one too.
I'm the youngest girl in the group.

I'm the youngest in the group as well.
So I guess we can vibe off that, right?

But we want love, right?

I'm looking for love.
I'm looking for my one and only.

-[Hannah] Soulmate.
-My soulmate.

I want this to happen once
and not have to worry about it.

-Exactly!
-We're on the same page already.

[laughing]

So why are you in the pods, Hannah?

Maybe I just can't find
the love of my life on the couch.

[both laugh]

So are you a swiper?

No, it's too overwhelming.

Then you go out, and it's like, "Hello."

Like, I'm in the grocery store.
Where they at?

Isn't that funny how, like,
you could find your true love

and your soulmate in the grocery store?

They say that,
but, like, it hasn't happened for me yet.

I would see you picking out some food
and help you

and be like, "Wow.
You've got a really pretty voice."

Where are you from? You're from the South.

[Hannah] I'm from West Virginia.

Very, very small town.

Cheerleader in high school,
"dated the quarterback" type of feel,

like growing up. [laughs]

I played college football,
a little bit professionally.

Okay, Nick!

[Nick D] I was a kicker and a punter.
That was my love and passion.

Real estate kind of fell in my lap.

And I love it.
I love the interaction you get

helping people
with the biggest purchase of their life.

But, like, you know, obviously, if I could
choose to be an athlete, I would.

-Life happens.
-[Nick D] Happens.

Then you find yourself in the pods
talking to Miss Hannah, who's 26.

[laughs] Isn't that crazy?

I'm, like, amazing, hilarious,
like, the greatest girl ever.

-You sound pretty great.
-You do too.

At your high school,
you would have dated the kicker.

[laughs]

It's been really hard to find a husband
because people are very superficial.

People say they aren't, but people are.

-[pop music playing]
-♪ Go ahead and get wild... ♪

I think I just spilled.

♪ ...get wild ♪

And I'm sure I've been guilty of it too.

It's just sad.

You could be the best person in the world,
prettiest face, best personality,

but if you have a couple extra pounds,
they're not really into you.

Oh, my God. I'm actually very good
at balancing. I just realized.

For me, I feel like
no one ever gets to know who I really am.

They're not into my, like, hobbies
or my passions or my, like, weird jokes.

Okay, okay, she's back. She's back.

I quit my job. That's how serious
I am about finding love.

This is Leo.

[Hannah] Leo!

-Hello, Leo.
-Hello.

-And how about you?
-Hannah.

[Leo] Hannah.

-What do you do, Leo?
-I'm an art dealer.

Oh!

That's a cool job. Do you like Van Gogh?

I love Van Gogh.

So I went to Amsterdam.
It was very fascinating to see all that.

Oh, that's amazing.
He's one of my favorites.

So my favorite thing in the world
is first experiences, new experiences.

-Love it.
-I love, like, Europe. Love it.

If we're going to Costa Rica,
I wanna go rock climbing.

I wanna go to the volcanos.

If we go to Europe, I wanna see all
the history. I'm a big history buff too.

I agree. The world is so vast and amazing,
and we have so little time.

Like, I wanna try everything.

Like, if I'm at a buffet,
I put one bite of every piece of food...

-[Hannah] Me too!
-[laughs]

My ideal dinner is, like, you order,
like, five appetizers for the dinner.

-Preach! Yes!
-[Hannah laughs]

[Leo] The entrée,
you're pigeonholing yourself.

On one sense, we're kind of talking
about light stuff, 'cause it's like,

oh, we're talking about
how we eat dinner and stuff,

but if we get married, like,

that's a thing you do.
You go out to dinner a lot.

Yeah!

Liking those things that
you do a lot is, like, really important.

I know!

[Leo] You know, the time
in the pods is too short

and precious to play it cool. I like you.

Yes! I like you too.
I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow.

-Fingers frickin' crossed.
-Yeah, I hope so. Fingers crossed.

[both laugh]

[pop music playing]

It's getting fun, man. Dude, we're in it.

I'm actually, like,
really grateful to be here.

That's what I'm saying. Thank you. Cheers.

-I'm grateful to be here with you.
-[laughs] Don't sauce me up like that.

-I'll be thinking about you in there now.
-Getting rizzed up! [laughing]

I'm fortunate.

Like, I have an interesting
and lucrative job. I'm an art dealer.

Let's go! Whoo!

It's a family business.
I actually own it now.

I ended up inheriting it,
but one of my biggest insecurities

is that a girl only wants me,
like, for money.

-Hello-hello.
-[woman 8] Hi.

I think that an experience like this that
focuses on the emotional connection first

is an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

-What's your name?
-[woman 9] Brittany.

-What's your name?
-I'm Leo.

[Brittany] Leo DiCaprio?

Ooh, I love that.

Who wouldn't want to be him?

-[laughing]
-[Leo] Brittany, I like your voice a lot.

-I'm not just saying that.
-Oh, thank you.

If we went on vacation and I planned
some really fun stuff for us to do...

-Please! Yes, yes, anything!
-You'd be like, "I'm along for the ride"?

Oh, my God.
That's, like, so important to me.

-I am down for anything.
-I'm gonna be honest. I'm a planner.

One of us has to have a brain.

-Oh, my God.
-[laughing]

[pop music playing]

I am single because I chase fun.

Wait! [laughs]

My dating history
is athletes and rock stars.

Hello.

I could easily seduce any of these guys
to fall in love with me and marry me.

Say something!

But I know what I want.

Some people wanna be boss babes
and make all the money

and live their lifestyle,
and that's not how I wanna live.

Hello-hello.

Hello.

I'm obviously a trophy wife,

and I just wanna be with someone
that makes me feel like

I'm their number one pick,
that likes to cook, because I hate that,

and the children have to be fed.

[Tamar] What was
the last thing you tried to cook?

Couldn't tell you.

-A smoothie? [laughs]
-Oh, Jesus Christ.

Do you look good in red?

[Brittany] Yeah, red, white and blue.

Honestly, I just
don't look bad in anything.

f*ck. That's sexy.

[laughing]

[man 15] What brought you here?

I've had such a crazy, wild life

that it only feels normal
to meet my husband in this way.

-Great answer.
-Yeah.

I feel like
whatever is meant to be will be.

[laughing]

I need to start manifest...
I'm gonna start visualizing it.

[laughing] "Brittany, will you marry me?"

Oh, my God.

I love a very masculine guy.

That's a check there. Very dominant.

-[Brittany] Do you cook?
-I love to cook.

[Brittany] I hate cooking.

[man 16] So what do you do?

I do skin care,
and I host beach cleanups as well.

We have picked up 10,000 pounds of trash,
like, in the past three years.

-No way.
-[Brittany] Yeah.

-I wanted to be a marine biologist.
-[gasps] Really?

Yeah, yeah, and then landed up going
down the path of being a physicist.

Um, I'm not gonna lie,
without my phone, I'm like, "Oh, my God,

I need to go back to school,
'cause I can't spell sh*t!"

If you saw how I spelled "physicist,"

you would walk out that door right now.

I'm learning all kinds
of new things about myself. [laughing]

-[laughs] We're learning together.
-[laughs]

I think probably the thing
I'm most excited about is to learn

what it is I'm looking for, 'cause I don't
think about these things very often.

As I go down, it's like,
"Good, good, good."

-That's not my girl. That's not for me.
-No?

For someone who has the lifestyle I have,
where I'm constantly behind my computer,

if I'm not,
I would likely be out spearfishing,

or I have a trip planned
that I'm going and doing

in some remote part of the world
where I'm not bumping into women

in highly populated areas.

It's just very unlikely
that I'm gonna find this person for me.

-Let's go, baby.
-Let's rock on. Let's rock on.

And I think that it's fair to say
that I have not prioritized finding love.

♪ I feel it's time for change... ♪

[Taylor] Hello-hello.

[Garrett] What's up?
What's up? What is your name?

-I'm Taylor, you?
-[Garrett] Taylor!

Ultimately, I wanna come out
of this with the person

I wanna spend the rest of my life with.

My name is Garrett.

-[Taylor] Garrett?
-Yes.

-Can I call you "G"?
-That is what I tell people to call me.

-Oh!
-[Garrett] Super simple.

I play a lot of sports, so
on the basketball court, just call me G.

[Taylor] Yeah, it's easier to scream
when you're, like, passing it.

Yes! Did you play sports?

-I played basketball. [laughs]
-[Garrett] No way! See? So you get it.

High school or
did you go to college with it or what?

[Taylor] I just played
super competitively in high school

and did intramurals in college.

-I really hurt myself, and I was...
-For real?

-Yeah, I tore two ligaments in my ankle.
-No!

It was terrible.

So I've been kind of scared
to ever, like, super play.

Yeah.

But if the Y had, like,
a 40-plus women's league...

[laughing] Wait, how old are you?
Wait. How old are you?

[Taylor] Oh, no, I'm 29.

-Okay, was like, "Damn!" Okay, Taylor.
-[Taylor laughing]

No, just don't let me sh**t,

but I could play
with people who aren't going to hurt me.

[both laughing]

-[Taylor] What do you do?
-I'm a physicist.

I hated physics.

[laughs]

Nobody likes it. Nobody likes it.
That's not a demerit, by the way.

I was chemistry for undergrad,
and I did my masters in energy policy.

I definitely work hard.

I actually specialize in something
called "clean hydrogen energy."

I have a little hydrogen tattoo
on my wrist.

-That was like...
-[laughs] Yes!

That's cool. I've got a quantum equation
on my back of my right arm.

-No way! What is it?
-Yeah, yeah, uncertainty principle.

Oh. Heisenberg. Okay.
You're never gonna know where I am, then.

[both laugh]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's pretty nerdy.

-Talking dirty to me, G.
-[both laugh]

When I was younger,
I wanted to just achieve so much,

and I thought that was, like,
the end goal for me, the meaning of life.

Part of the reason I haven't been
in a relationship in a while.

I don't wanna keep doing this,
then another seven years down the road,

I'll look up, like, "Holy sh*t,
like, I just wasted so much time."

I know that you do quantum physics,

so you might understand my thermodynamic...

-[laughing]
-...law that I'm gonna throw out,

but, like, I think that relationships
are going, like, toward entropy.

You need to work on keeping them together.

That's cool.

I'd love for my next relationship
to be my last.

It's the dream.

I really liked this conversation.

[laughs]

-Bye, G.
-All right, hopefully I'll see you soon.

I know it's day one.

[Hannah] Ooh, I like that wink!

[Taylor] I haven't had a crush on someone
in a minute.

You don't think you'd make
an instant connection when you can't

see someone, because usually,

you know, you make the eyes,
or it's something more physical,

but I think I made
an instant connection with Garrett.

I think I've made,
like, quite a few sparks,

and excited to see where they go. [laughs]

I love a good crush.

-[cheering]
-[clamoring]

Fantastic girls. Fan... hey!

-Fantastic girls.
-Whoo!

By his name, I wrote "unicorn,"
'cause he was just was saying things

that were surprising me left and right.
I'm like, "Who are you? This is nuts."

Ashley, she's cool.
She was, like, maybe a 12.

[Ramses] Oh! Out of ten?

Yeah, that's why I was like, "Baby, baby."

[Nick P] Brittany? She was a little quiet.

She was like, "I'm very feminine."
I said, "I'm dominant."

[both] Oh!

The girl I got ranked highest,
it wasn't just great conversation,

we hit on a lot of stuff.

[Nick D] Fifteen girls,
all it takes is one.

-Do you feel head over heels about anyone?
-Yeah.

Hannah. She's at the top of my list.

I think a lot of the girls
are so much fun to talk to.

-[Garrett] Dude.
-It's just, "What do you connect most on?"

Nick D is definitely
giving "smooth talker."

I like Nick's voice.

[laughs] He's such a smooth talker.

He's so smooth.

He's sultry,
but will probably, like, ruin my life.

[Katie] I know. I can't...
he's so damn charming, but it's just like,

you're a punter and a kicker,
and I can't put it together.

-Oh, man.

Did I tell you the story about this shirt?
The last girl that I seriously talked to...

I was texting her.
It was, like, one of those websites.

"Hey, which of these shirts do you like?"
I was like, "I like this one."

She's like, "Eww. I hate that color."

-And I bought it out of spite.
-[laughing]

I have always had a problem
feeling understood

by the women that I am interested in.

And my mind, to me,
is the most intimate part of me.

I'm glad you did.
You gotta bring the color.

Hey, serendipity.

[laughing]

In the past, I was a dog, man.
I wasn't ready. I was still playing games.

I was a boy in the head,
but a man in the body.

I know I'm at a point of maturation
where the best thing that could happen

is I find the love of my life,
the mother of my children.

I came to the pods to find my wife.

Period.

-Hello, who am I speaking with?
-[woman 12] Alex.

Oh!

-Who is this?
-This is Tim.

-Hi, Tim!
-I have been waiting to talk to you.

-[both laugh]
-So, I'm really big in astrology.

-Oh, really?
-But I don't wanna, like, frighten you.

[laughs]

-All right.
-You said you were 32.

-But when's your birthday?
-[Tim] September 1st.

-Okay, Virgo!
-When is your birthday?

-[Alex] I'm August 5th, so...
-August 5th.

-That's a Leo, right?
-Yes.

[Tim] The reason I know that is 'cause
I have a tattoo of a lion on my arm.

People always ask me if I'm a Leo.

Why do you have a lion tattoo?

I've always appreciated
just like the leadership

of what a lion
with a great mane looks like.

I've always said,
if and when I get married,

I want to get a lioness
tattooed somewhere close to me.

I thought you were about to say,
"I want a lion at my wedding."

-I was like, "No." Oh, my God, no.
-[both laughing]

Alex, can I ask you, for you,

what's the big difference
between just a serious relationship

and the prospect of a marriage?

Well, first, the ring. [laughs]

But, no, no.

-I'm very spiritual.
-Mm-hmm.

And I feel like when you're in a marriage,

it's for better, for worse before God.

Like, both of my parents have MS.

Sorry to hear that.

[Alex] My dad and my stepmom,
they've been married for 25 years.

And my stepmom, she is a saint,

because she has to,
you know, bathe him, take care of him.

He's 6'2" and 220.

-And he falls a lot.
-Mm. That's hard.

Then you have my mom,

never married,
in a 15-year relationship with this man,

just living their best life.

But when her MS was getting really bad,

and she now has to walk with a cane,
he dropped her.

So it's like life
really comes at you fast,

and that really showed me

how important marriage is.

Yeah, I couldn't have asked
any more of my parents,

and it's not because they spoiled me.

It's not because
we got everything we asked for.

It's because I look at my dad,
and I never have to ask him what to do,

'cause he showed me
from the day I was born.

I look at my mother, and I never
have to question how much she loves me.

I've never had to question
their commitment to each other,

but I always say, like, I don't think
I've seen the worst day of my life yet,

and I've seen a lot of bad days.

Had two sisters.
Both of them have passed away now.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

-Were those your only siblings?
-[Tim] Mm-hmm.

I am the baby brother.

So I always tell people
I have little brother energy,

but those are my two big sisters.
I carry them with me everywhere I go.

-[Alex] Yeah. Oh, wow.
-So.

I took something from each of their lives
and each of their stories.

I have a keen awareness
of, like, my own mortality,

just because a lot of my life
has been defined by death.

My word is my bond, and when I say "I do,"
I mean that sh*t until the day I die.

I don't wanna get married.
I wanna die married.

[Tyler] I just didn't expect
to have feelings so fast.

It's like a bliss.
Like, it's just like nothing else matters.

And I can say anything,
and I don't feel judged. It's so crazy.

This whole experience surprised me.

I'm having feelings with someone
through a wall,

and it's because I'm talking about things

I never opened up with anyone else about.

I can sit there
and close my eyes and talk to people,

and it just feels at home,
like I've known them for years.

I'm smiling ear to ear.

I'm enjoying every moment of it
just because I didn't believe in it,

and I'm just ready to go. [exhales]

Let's do this.

[Ashley A] How do you feel about
having each other's phone password?

You could have it.
I want you to go through it

and you know,
be more secure if you want to.

I don't give a damn.

If I'm telling you I wanna marry you,
I'm respecting you on every level.

So if you're telling me,
"I think we should share passwords,"

cool, not a problem.

[Ashley A] Oh, man.

-This guy, ladies and gentlemen.
-[both laughing]

[Garrett] I had, like, a ridiculously
good conversation with you last time.

[Taylor] I'm glad I get to spend more time
with you. So this is a fun question.

Based on what you know about me,
what movie do you think describes me?

[Garrett] What movie?

If you were less unique,
I could come up with options.

-But I don't know, um, Shrek.
-[laughs]

-Awesome. Jesus.
-Shrek 2. It's a good one.

'Cause you're not in a relationship.
You're looking for the right guy.

And then, you know, you find him,

but not where
you thought you would be looking.

[Brittany] What was
your first impression of me?

[Leo] Fun and bubbly, but not shallow.

Yes.

-[Leo] What were you like in high school?
-I was a little skater girl.

I have a very high pain tolerance.

It's always the girly girls
with the high-pitch voice

that low-key have
a super-high pain tolerance.

-That's so funny.
-You'd think it would be the opposite.

Any time I have to do something painful,

I just imagine my mom dying

and how painful,
like, that must have been.

[Leo] Whoa.

You've been through the same thing.

-"If she can do that, I could do this."
-Yeah.

[Brittany] My mom would always tell me,
as a child, she was like,

"I just cannot wait to see what you do
and who you end up with."

[both laugh]

[Brittany] I think it's really cool
that you took over the family business,

and it's something that you love,
and are passionate about.

Like, I'm really fortunate
to be 30 years old,

and, like, really not, like,
have to worry about money at all.

It's something I'm honestly a little bit
uncomfortable talking about in general.

But, like... like, I...

I grew up, like, very well-off,

and, like, after I graduated college,

I was, like, kind of
being groomed to take it over,

but in, like, you know, a decade or two.

Like, it wasn't expected
I was gonna be taking over right away.

And then I told you that
a lot of them got cancer, right?

Yeah.

So, 'cause I had
all of these family tragedies,

I got inheritance, like, all at once,

and kind of, you know, relatively young.

I'm not trying to say "woe is me,"

but the business
I, like, was really blessed to inherit

like, does, like, pretty well.

Yeah. Okay, you opened up
the door for something

that really I've literally been having
an anxiety attack about all day.

[Leo] Oh, yeah?

[Brittany] Okay, in a marriage, finances.

How would you split the bills?
Would it be 50/50?

I don't know
if I believe in paying all of it,

but I also don't think
I believe in splitting 50/50

if I'm, like, making more.

But I do like the thought
of both of us paying something,

'cause it feels like we're both invested.

I'm glad.

'Cause the other guys were hard 50/50.

And I didn't realize.

-Like, I don't agree with that.
-[Leo] Okay.

[Brittany] As a girl,
I do like nice things.

And we shop more,
grooming and nails and hair

and my f*cking workout classes
and stuff are expensive.

And my last relationship,

I was taken care of 100%.

One of the things that I am

most insecure about is... [grunts]

"Does she want me because of my job

and because of the money
that I was very blessed to have?"

Yeah.

Like, while we would be married,
I always would need the assurance,

like, if we woke up tomorrow,
suddenly all my money vanished,

if some hurricane came
and destroyed all the art,

that, like, you would be there with me,
and not like,

"sh*t, my f*cking lottery ticket just,
like, got..." you know what I mean?

[Brittany] I will tell you,
if I wanted to marry for the money,

I would have married a very long time ago.

[Leo] Mm-hmm.

That would have been
a very easy thing for me to do.

-That's validating.
-[Brittany laughs]

[Leo] If, God forbid,
we were to get married and then divorced,

of course, that money is meant to be,
ultimately, my children's.

Okay. Did you know "Leo" is one of
the top baby names I have written down?

-[Leo] Really?
-Yeah, I love it.

I don't know if I want a son
with the same name as me.

No, no, no, I could change it.
You know what I also like is "Levi."

I'm not opposed to Levi.

I was just thinking
of Levi jeans. [laughs]

[Leo] I actually
kind of like that. "Levi."

[Brittany] Leo and Levi! Oh, my God, stop.
You cannot tease me like this.

And then for a girl,
I really like the name Blaze.

Whoa.

Isn't that cute?

Blaze Brody, to me, seems like

almost, like, a fake video game name.

Wait, your last name is Brody?

Oh, yeah, my last name's Brody.

Oh, my God! Leo! My name would be "BB."

It would be Brittany Brody.
Brittany Brody's a cute name.

Wow.

I'm unbelievably grateful

like, my relationship
with my mom was like... we were so close.

-That's crazy.
-[Leo] It's deep.

-And I grew up financially very well-off.
-[Tamar] Yeah.

I'm not trying to build an influencer
career. I'm a rich f*cking art dealer.

I grew up, like, I went to a country club,
went to private school.

My college was paid for.

I'm incredibly financially fortunate,
but I'm also like...

Look, I would much rather have my problem
than the problem of lack of money.

It's a really great,
lucky problem to have,

but also it's scary, 'cause,
like, oftentimes a girl may want me...

Does she just want me 'cause she knows
I'm an art dealer and I have, like, money?

I really believe
that I'm, like, a unique, special person.

I was learning Italian art terminology
when I was, like, six.

Uh, for example,
I'll give you one, "Sprezzatura."

That's Italian for the consciously

trying to make something seem effortless.

So if, like, you're wearing something,

but you kind of make it look like,
oh, you just threw it together,

but you actually put a lot of effort.
That's sprezzatura.

I just noticed you're wearing a Rolex.

I want someone that appreciates that.

And I want someone
that is like that themselves,

and I think that I'm deserving of that.

And I think
I want a wife that's curious too.

I think that's one thing
I love about Hannah

is she's so curious.
Like, she wants to learn everything,

and that to me is so f*cking hot.

Dude, look at these.

[Leo] I can see myself, like,

explaining something about art to Hannah,
and her being like, "Oh, no way!"

I'm starting to feel some connection.

Oh, it's dripping,
but it gets cold, so it, like, stops.

And it's so cliché,

but, like, I'm starting to feel it
for two different girls.

That just makes it even more complicated.

[fanfare playing]

I swear. I'm not making this up.
You were in a dream of mine last night.

-Shut up.
-Swear. I don't know what you look like.

-What did I look like in your dream?
-[Leo] I don't know what you look like.

But in the dream, like, you were like...

I mean, I'm assuming white.

-[Hannah] Mm-hmm.
-In the dream, I was in a kitchen.

And I was, like, getting,
like, a glass of water,

and I was, like, talking to your mom,

who I also obviously don't know
what she looks like,

and then, like, you walked in,

and then, like, the dream faded
into something else, and I woke up.

I was like,
"Holy sh*t, like, she was in my dream."

Okay, I feel really special right now.
I'm not gonna lie.

[Leo] Like, one thing
I appreciate is, like, you didn't...

You haven't, like, asked me
a million things about my job.

"Oh, do you go to Art Basel?"
"What kind of art do you sell?"

"What's the most expensive
piece of art you sold?"

I understand wanting to know that
because it's inherently interesting.

You don't meet an art dealer every day.

I don't want,
like, my job to ever define me.

Even when I first shared that with you,
you weren't like...

You wanted to know me,
not, like, about my job.

Yeah, to be honest with you, like,

when I heard, I was like, "That's cool,
but I don't know exactly what that means."

[laughing] To be honest.

-Well, I appreciate that.
-Like, "You deal art, I guess?" [laughing]

There will be a time
when I'm happy to explain that more.

I don't think it's as relevant
for, like, emotional connection.

-No.
-[Leo] You know...

Even though you're the youngest,
I think you might be the most mature.

-[laughs] Really?
-I really think you are.

-[Hannah] Thanks! I really hope so.
-Yeah.

Honestly, you know what my biggest
fear in life is? I don't wanna die.

-[Leo] Yeah?
-I'm really scared of death.

-It is scary.
-[Hannah] I wish I could live forever.

If I could be a vampire,
like, I would get bit any day.

sh*t, if we got married,
then I'd be shriveling up.

They'd be like, "Oh, is that your nurse?"
I'd be like, "No, that's my wife."

-I would turn you!
-You'd turn me into a vampire?

Of course!
We gotta live in eternity together.

Like, I'm not gonna let you die on me.

[laughing] Oh. Oh, sh*t. Okay, so if
you live forever, I have to live forever?

Yeah, yeah.

[Leo] I don't know,

to is you're clearly, like, really smart.

knowing, like, what ethnicity you are.

I'm not sure what that looks like
for me either. Everything is just so...

It's just a shock.
I mean, it's really hard to explain.

I'm not a shy...

But you are very, like,
calculated about what you say,

and while I love that about you,
it's also like,

I'm like, "What's she hiding?"

And that's good feedback to get.

Just, like,

I guess it's hard to hear
that it comes across as, like,

really calculated. Um...

[hesitates] It... it probably...
may not be fair. It's just how you talk.

-Like, you're very...
-[Taylor] Yeah.

...slow and methodical and careful and...

But then also the subtle, like,

"I don't want him
to know my ethnicity and, um..."

"Is this, like, a carefully curated image
that she's presenting?"

I don't know.

And I don't think it is. I really don't.

[Taylor] The reason that
I wasn't gonna share my ethnicity

was because it was an opportunity

to, like, have someone
not know how I look at all.

I'm just really interested
to know if my emotional,

intellectual and, like, thought processes,
like, is enough,

and then everything else is extra.

My feelings for you are insane.

Like, I described it as my heart feels
like it's being ripped out of its chest,

but I know that I need to know more
before I'm gonna get there,

before I'm ready to,
like, you know, make that next step.

I need to know more about who you are.

I think you definitely feel the same way,
and I hope that you do.

We need to learn more.

I'm excited to maybe,
you know, get to know you more,

and show more of me,

but I think I'll be really hurt if,

like, this doesn't end up working out,

and I, like, gave away what I look like.

I need to, at a certain point, like,

feel that I'm enough.

-Does that make sense?
-Yeah, it does.

-[Taylor] Is that more helpful?
-Yes.

-Less calculated, more...
-No, thank you. I do appreciate it. Yeah.

At least we can just find out
that it's my personality that sucks.

[laughs]

I almost wanted to tell you

so we can start talking about,
like, other things. [laughs]

No, but don't.
But don't. Seriously, seriously, don't.

-[Taylor chuckles]
-I...

[Taylor laughs]

I think it's uniquely Taylor,
and I love that.

It's... it's just a...

What? [exhales]

[Garrett chuckles]

[Taylor] What?

[Garrett] It's weird. I have no idea
what you look like. I have no idea.

But it's not something
that's going to prevent me from...

you know, saying I wanna do this.

It's just so strange, right?

Like, that I feel this way about...

someone I've just been talking to.

-I did. I did the eggs.

Okay, I made stuffed French toast.

With bread and eggs

and cinnamon and then I put

What?

I've never ever dated a guy
that knew how to cook.

-Really?

It's always been me.

-I don't believe in roles, 100%.
-Okay.

Um, I'm definitely, no matter what,
always gonna be a protector.

-That's the role I'm gonna play.
-Love that.

[Tyler] But I love to cook,

so at no point do I ever expect my wife
to be in this kitchen cooking,

slaving after we've both
just finished work.

If we wanna eat out tonight, we eat out.

If we feel like cooking,
we feel like cooking.

-Do you?
-Yeah, your voice is very attractive.

[Ashley A] Mm!

Do you have a random talent?

I don't.

[Tyler] Um, I am...

And not c*ck, but, like,

I'm good at a bunch of things.

I ski. I'm a very good skier.

I like to ski.

I could do the little
tongue rolling thing.

Oh!

Why you try to throw that in there, Tyler?

[Tyler] That used to be in my party tricks
when I was a kid.

-Why was you doing that at parties?
-As a kid.

-Stop.
-Mm.

-I used to ride horses professionally.
-I love horses. I used to take lessons.

-Me too. I was part of 4-H club.
-Oh, what?

-Do you do Western or like...
-No. Hell no, I did English.

-Oh, I did Western.
-[Tyler] Yeah.

[Ashley A] What's on your bucket list?

My bucket list. I do wanna skydive.

-Nah. Okay, so, look. So look.
-But I'm terrified of heights.

My entire life, I'm kidding you not,

I've always said,
the day before my wedding.

-I'm going skydiving, right?
-Yeah.

Always. 'Cause I just feel like
we're both just, like, taking the biggest...

-The leap of... yes.
-[Ashley A] A leap of faith.

And just literally diving out of a plane

into the sky and, like, risking it all.

-I think that's...
-If we survive, we should... [laughing]

If we survive, we survive!

-[Tyler] "Married if we survive."
-Exactly.

That's dope though.

It's kind of beautiful, but...

Let's see what happens.

Obviously, we talked about,
like, a little of your childhood, but...

-It was growing up struggling.
-[Ashley A] Yeah.

My mom didn't have much.
She did her best with what she could.

I don't know if I told you
that her dad cut her out of his life

for having kids outside of her race.

No!

[Tyler] My mom, she's Serbian,
and her family, like, her dad's side,

they pretty much disowned her.

And she just had her mom,
which is my grandma.

We didn't have sh*t.

We would, like, have to put our mattresses
in the living room

to, like, you know, keep the heat.

At night, my mom would cook food.

It's enough for us, and she'd be like,
"I'm not hungry," but I knew she was.

[Ashley A] Mm.

She would work all day,
then come home enough to get us dinner,

then she would work a night shift.

She was raising three kids by herself,

and it was just
an extreme struggle for her.

-I'm sorry to hear that.
-I was nine, ten, somewhere in that range.

She sat us down,
and her mom found out she had cancer.

-And she ended up passing away.
-Oh, Jesus.

The hardest thing for me,
like, I think was not being able to...

That's just not me. That's not my style.

[Leo] Brittany is really like my ex.
A wonderful f*cking girl.

And the other interesting thing is
I'm a lot like Brittany's exes.

Very structured, very, like, analytical.

And you know what?

I feel like her and I
would attract each other

outside of the pods.

Hannah and I...

That's f*cked. That just came to me.

Hannah and I would not...
I don't think we would find each other.

I know what kind of guy
would wanna go after Brittany.

I think, like, a lot of us.

But what kind of guy would
wanna go after Hannah's personality?

I think part of Hannah's personality
is she's just very young.

[Leo] Yeah, yeah, exactly.

To be honest, I don't know that
Nick knows that you're talking to her.

-I don't think anybody knows.
-Now, okay, this is the way to look at it.

What would Hannah ultimately want?

I mean, she's young. She may
admittedly not know what she wants.

Maybe all of us don't.
I don't know what I want.

That's actually been one of my issues.

[Garrett] Go sit on the couch, dawg.

So could I give you just slight advice?

You came here.

-What you did in the past didn't work.
-Yeah.

The girl I'm dating in there,
that I feel like I love...

-Who's your...
-Ashley.

She was like, "I'd date you out of here."
She would never have a chance.

We wouldn't have got this far.

I'd have seen her, whether she's
attractive or not attractive, either way.

If she is attractive, I would talk to her.
If not, I wouldn't have talked to her.

And then if she was attractive,
I'm blocking her off.

I'm shut off in the outside world.

I've dated attractive.

One word that never in my head ever when
describing the woman I want is "safe."

I've always been a protector.
And now, I'm feeling safe.

That's one thing I never had.

If you feel deeply...

I'm not telling you any decision to make,

but we can all go home
and find someone like our ex.

They're two very different kind of girls.
Brittany's gonna be expensive. [chuckles]

-Just like...
-[laughing]

[Hannah] "He's talking to my woman."

[laughing]

Nick D.

We call him Mr. Suave.
He's like, "I'm naturally flirtatious."

Do I wanna marry someone
who's naturally flirtatious?

-I don't know.
-Probably not.

I don't know anything about him.

Just heard his name a lot
in the last 24 hours.

-[Hannah] Yeah.
-He's a fun time.

Look, I do like him. Don't get me wrong.

I think he's a hot guy. I don't think
he's had a problem finding someone.

I feel like, with him,
I'd have to be this perfect woman.

-[Nina] How are you still talking to him?
-'Cause he's charming!

Nick D, he's such a charming,
charming man,

and he has got me charmed.

I really think he's ready.
I think he really wants a wife.

And I'm, like,
his number one and... [exhales]

-He's been telling you this whole time?
-Yeah.

What do you need to get out there?
Like, think about it.

He's hard for me to figure out,
'cause he says these things,

and I don't believe him.

I just don't know why I don't believe him.
I feel like it's a gut feeling.

-If it is your gut feeling...
-Yeah.

The way he talks, you can tell
that he's very experienced with women.

And he knows what to say
and how to say it.

And it's scary
that it might be, like, manipulating.

And I think I had
such strong feelings for him,

I don't want him to ever break my heart.

I think he wants a trophy wife.

He definitely objectifies me.
"I can't wait to see you in a bikini."

If I was 250 pounds,
and maybe not, like, a supermodel,

I know he wouldn't.

He's someone I think that I would
not wanna go to sleep without makeup on.

That sounds like a walking red flag.

He's a charmer. Watch me go in there,
then I'm like, "I love him."

You're gonna cut him loose
at some point, right?

I just don't wanna cut him off yet.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

-[Katie] You know what you gotta do.
-[Ashley W] Yeah. Mm-hmm.

-You don't want to do what you need to do.
-[Katie] You know what you gotta do.

Can you guys see yourself saying
"I love you" in the next couple days?

I can, actually.

-You can?
-I can.

I could see myself
proposing to my one. Wifey.

I don't care about other women.

I mean, at this point, it's, like,
it's Hannah.

It's such an extreme decision.

Even "I love you, I wanna date you..."

it's like, 'cause that sh*t's,
like, serious.

Yeah, dude.

I've never really
loved romantically in my life, man.

Hannah.

-I think she might have been dating you.
-Nah.

-She's on two other dates.
-I went on one date with her.

She seemed cool, but she was
a little younger than what I usually do.

[Nick D] Hannah's my one.

You know, she's cool. Um...

I want that to work out.

[Nick D] Hannah.

I have, like, a lot of concerns with you.

Why's that?

Why are you here?
Like, why did you wanna do this?

[Nick D] Because dating for me in the past
didn't work out.

It's been about first impressions with me.

I haven't dated
since my last relationship,

and it's because I know the qualities
I'm looking for in a person,

not looks-wise.

I haven't found it.

You know, I've done a lot of reflecting
what my parents look like

and how happy they are
and the qualities they have

and, you know, my friends
who are getting engaged and married,

like, what that looks like
and stuff like that.

It's become clear I was doing it wrong.
Like, I was...

I was looking for, like, the wrong thing,

and I want that unconditional love, and...

You know, a lot of it's been timing
or the football, the work stuff.

But I'm looking for something
other than a girlfriend.

I want something sincere.
I want something genuine.

It's become so clear.

Why has it become clear?

What do you mean?
"Why has it become clear?"

[Hannah] Obviously, you talk
about how great you look, right?

-Just listen. Let me talk. You do.
-[Nick D] Okay.

You've probably gotten
everything you wanted in life, right?

You were a college athlete,
then you went pro and then like...

I don't think you have trouble
finding someone in the real world.

[Nick D scoffs] I'm like, I mean...

You seem pretty perfect. Why are you here?

'Cause it seems like
you wouldn't have trouble

really in the real world either.

Because guys like you are the ones
who like me in the real world.

I've got a lot of depth to me,
and I'm funny, and I know a lot of stuff.

They're never interested in me.
I am just hot to them.

Or I'm just a pretty thing to look at.

As a woman, you feel
like you have to be perfect all the time.

I have to put makeup on.
Like, I have to be skinny as possible.

My hair has to look good.
Like, I have to be this perfect person.

-Yeah.
-[Hannah] And I don't wanna be that.

I just wanna be,
like, unapologetically me.

That's, um, hmm.

Yeah, I... I don't know,
like, how else I can say it.

Like, exactly what you're describing
is what I'm looking for in a wife.

No one's perfect.

Everybody's weird in their own way.
I'm super weird.

I want you to be unapologetically you.

-[Hannah] You want me to be honest?
-Of course.

I'm scared that, like,
the reason why you like me so much

is because you think I'm hot.

You're like, "So, like,
what bikinis are you gonna wear?"

Like, "I can't wait to see that."

Why? You just can't wait to see my body?
What if my body's not good?

I feel like you think
I'm this Victoria's Secret model.

-And if I'm not that...
-No.

If that's what I was looking for,
like, I wouldn't be here.

Like, I wouldn't be
going through this experience.

[Hannah] You say all the right things.
Like, you're great. You're perfect.

I don't know what it is. Every time I ask
you a question, you articulate it great.

-You explain your feelings to me.
-Why can't you go with that?

That's the problem.
I don't know. I don't know what it is.

There's, like, this gut feeling,
and I can't, like, figure it out.

And I just don't like it.

I'm really struggling, I think. [exhales]

I'm really struggling.

Like, we would have so much fun.

I think we'd have a great life.
We would have great sex.

We would have a good time.

I know you say
that you would accept me fully,

but I just don't know if I believe you.

You know, Hannah, honestly, like,
I do not give a f*ck what you look like.

I don't know what you look like.

I'm just so infatuated
with the person you are.

How you carry yourself
and your drive and your charisma.

I love talking to you.

And every time I talk to you,
it's a feeling I haven't felt.

I don't care what you look like,
what you wear.

Whoever I see,
I'm going to love, every f*cking day.

I don't want you to be perfect. I don't.

And I don't care if you're not perfect.

I'm not perfect.

No matter what you do, I'm gonna love you.

Like, I feel like I'm coming in here
to talk to my best friend,

but I get so f*cking giddy, it's like,

it's my best friend who I love.

Like, my best friend, but also my wife.

[heart beating]

[Hannah] I can only marry one person.

[hesitates] Like, I don't
wanna end it with you right now.

Don't know if I wanna end it with someone
else, if I wanna go back in there and die.

[laughs] Like, I don't know.

[gasps]

[Nick D] So you would end it with me now?

[Hannah] I really like you.

Can we spend the rest
of our lives together? I'm just not sure.

And I have to be sure.

I think you're still working on
who you wanna be.

And I think my connections
with other people just grew stronger.

Yeah.

That sucks to hear, because I saw myself
leaving here with you.

And I could see a future with us.

But I get it.

I guess, you know, you didn't think
I was the right guy for you.

I really don't have too much else to say.

So I hope the rest of your dates go well.
I hope you find the right person for you,

'cause, you know,
you're beautiful on the inside and out.

So I wish you the best of luck.
