Oh my God, you know what's crazy?
This is it. (Music)
A viral New York Times article featured
36 questions that could supposedly make
any two people fall in love.
We wanted to see what would happen
if we asked these questions to two
complete strangers on a blind date.
Jaylee: Hi, my name is Jaylee Dawkins
and I'm single. I've actually never been
in a relationship. Yeah. So, I've been on
dates, but I've never had a boyfriend, so
I'm like low-key single my whole life?
(laughs) But I'm 21 so it's not crazy.
I think.
Mikey: My name is Mikey Miller and I am
single as a pringle.
Filmer: Are you nervous?
You know, more so than I thought
I would. A little bit. But I'm good on
dates. This year I've given a lot of
attention to myself, and haven't really
made myself available. But I think, uhh
I think I'm good. I think I'm ready. Ya.
(humming) Hello. How are you?
Jaylee: Good, how are you?
Mikey: Well. Good to meet you.
Jaylee: Ya, same. You too.
Mikey: What's your name?
J: Jaylee.
M: Jaylee? Mikey, nice to...
J: Mikey, nice to meet you.
M: It's like a long... hollywood...
suspense...
J: (laughs) What, waiting for me?
Or like, growing up, you mean?
M: Ya, growing up
J: Do I grab a card first?
M: Well I think the Tea for Two warrents
tea.
J: (laughs) Ok.
M: So... I shall pour you some
J: Yes please.
(both sip tea)
J: Oh, it's really good tea. You ready?
M: I think. (reads card) Umm...
If you could wake up tomorrow having
gained one quality or ability, what would
it be?
J: Is it weird that I thought of a
superpower first?
M: I don't know
J: (laughs) I would love to teleport
because I commute every day to school.
Like, and then also I really wanna travel,
so, like, that would just be amazing.
M: Yeah. Are there limitations to, uh,
teleporting?
J: I dunno.
M: Parameters you have to stay within?
J: Why put limits on teleportation?
(both laugh)
J: Uh, well, ok. One quality...
M: I'll go sappy, 'cause it's like, kind
of a sappy person.
J: ok.
M: Ummm I think like having the upmost
like empathy and having kind of, like umm,
unconditional positive regard for people
and-and myself honestly.
J: (reading card) Take one minute and tell
your partner your life story, as much
detail as possible.
M: Jeez. Grew up, super silly, jock. Yeah,
didn't really start questioning myself
until I lost a lot of people in my life
J: Mhmm
M: Really really quickly, and they were
all under the age of, like 50. I'm talking
like 7 people probably. And then it
wasn't until then that I started to really
question things. Started experimenting
more.
J: Mhmm
M: Moved here. Life goes fast... Is that a
minute?
(both laugh)
J: You're like, that's it, that's life story.
M: yeah. Here I am.
J: Umm, ever since I was a kid, I wanted
to have my own business. I was kinda
trying to figure out what that was when I
was growing up. First I wanted to be a
chef, and I was like obsessed with-
M: No way.
J: Yeah, I was obsessed with Gordon Ramsay
Still am.
M: I worked in one of his restaurants
J: REALLY?!
M: Yes, (in Gordon Ramsey accent) Golden.
J: I'm so-
M: He's my favorite person ever.
J: (laughs)
M: Alright
J: And then, I don't know, I wanted to go
in accounting, which was completely
different. I wanted to have, like, a dog
daycare. And then I was like, "You know
what? I really love fashion." And then
that was- but this was like- I figured
that out when I was 10. So then I'm like
"Ok. That's what I'm going for." (laughs)
M: You seem super passionate about a lot
of things.
J: Yeah.
M: ya.
J: I try to keep an open mind.
(reading card) um, what is your most
terrible memory?
Growing up, I was not close to my sister.
Uh, and then she had to get surgery. I
don't know, like one day- this happened
when I was really young too. So, no one
was telling me anything. When you go home
and someone who was there all the time
'cause you're in close quarters, is, like,
missing 'cause nobody wanted to let you
know. I mean, yeah, you're a kid-
M: Yeah, they were trying to protect you
J: But a lot of- a lot of things could
have gone wrong. But, luckily, it went
right. You know? It was weird because I
was like, "I hate my sister", but then she
was gone and I was like, "I kinda love my
sister".
M: right.
J: (laughs) Yeah.
M: Terrible memory.
J: Yeah.
M: I mentioned I lost a whole bunch of
people in a short amount of time. The
eerie thing is, they were all, like,
getting the phone calls about them. They
were all the same feeling, where like my
mom would call me. It was always my mom.
And I would pick up, and, it's not like I
had a feeling before answering it, but as
soon as you, like, answer the phone, you
could feel her on the other line. And then
like every time- this sucks I don't wanna
cry in front of everybody, ha, that'd be
weird- But like you hear- my mom would be
crying. And it happened over and over and
over in the span of a couple years.
J: Yeah.
M: I have a tattoo from, like, sss- my full-
my best friend growing up. She was
basically my sister. Ummm. And lost her in
a car accident. She was at a party, not
drinking.
J: Mhmm
M: And came home. Wasn't driving, the
person that was driving, wasn't drinking,
and it was just like snowy Pennsylvania.
Dark roads. Her side hit a tree and we
lost her. Like, even thinking about it,
you just like have that feeling in your
gut.
J: Yeah.
M: You know what I mean?
J: Yeah.
M: Umm, fff, yeah. That's gotta be the
worse one.
J: Alright, let's see. (reading card) Ok.
Complete this sentence: I wish I had
someone with whom I could share _________.
Oh my God, you know what's crazy?
This is it. Like I love tea, and I'm not a
coffee person, and I'm like, "I literally-"
M: You don't like coffee, wow.
J: Maybe I shouldn't say that...
M: Finally we disagree on something.
J: (laughs)
M: I couldn't love coffee more. But I love
tea.
J: I know, I love tea. And I'm like,
even if you don't like it, you still have
to be here and drink it. (laughs)
M: I'm totally down for tea.
What would- what do I want to share
something with? Traveling for sure.
There's a huge part of me that wants to
travel by myself.
J: Mhmm
M: But I think, you know falling in love
with somebody or whatever and then
traveling and having that experience. I
think those experiences are probably
incomparable to anything else.
J: Yeah?
(reading card) What is true love?
M: Wow.
J: (laughs)
M: Uhhh. Somebody that's like honest with
you, and that's not gonna just tell you
whatever you want. I'll never have a
relationship that's, like, you know,
passive in any way. And I'll never go in
kinda thinking that, I want you to make me
whole.
J: Mhmm
M: 'cause I think that's a mistake that a
lot of people make. They go into it
thinking that- well, like, they need- well
they want to fill a void.
J: Oh, I agree. I agree with that. Umm I
was gonna say, like, I was like, "that's
kinda like friendships too."
Like, I know a lot of people who weren't
friends with the person that they're with,
basically just went straight into dating,
which I'm like, "how does that happen?"
I would like wanna get to know the person
as a friend or, like, a best friend, and
everyone's like, "friendzone, nooo" But
it's like, if your partner is not your
best friend, like, what are you doing? You
have to be able to go through all these
things with someone to like grow and like
love them for who they are. You know?
M: Ya. (reading card) Alternate sharing
something you consider a positive
characteristic about your partner. Share a
total of three items.
J: Oooh. Ok, go ahead.
M: Oooh.
J: (laughs)
M: We're like amigos, maybe?
Umm, your openness. I'm- I'm not gonna do
anything physical 'cause I feel like
that's a cop-out.
J: Mhmm
M: And it's already, you know, we already
know.
J: (laughs) ya.
M: Uhh, but super open, which I admire.
The whole passion thing is really
important. I also admire. What's a good
three? Really trying not to go physical.
J: (laughs)
M: I feel like it's a cop-out but you do
have a nice smile.
J: Thank you.
M: I'll tap that. I'll tap after that
(laughs)
J: What? The last one?
M: Yeah.
J: I'll take it though. I'm gonna steal
yours. I appreciate your openness. I think
that's so important. Your like really,
like, humble and you could talk about
things that you wouldn't really want to
talk to with a stranger. You know?
M: Ya, that's not me at all, man.
J: (laughs)
M: I don't know if that's a good thing or
a bad thing but it's the way I am.
J: You're really funny. Like, that's- and
that's awesome
M: Thanks
J: Because it's nice to meet someone with
a sense of humor. (laughs)
M: Ya. (reading card) K. Last question.
You ready?
J: Ok, yes.
M: Would you go on a second date with your
partner?
J: Ooohh. Ya.
(both laugh)
M: Short and sweet. I like it. I
appreciate it. We don't need a second date,
just marriage, right?
J: I guess, yeah.
M: (laughs) See, that's what I'm saying,
riding the line between, like, what's
funny and, like, "ahh that was low, Mike"
(both laugh)
M: Yeah, so I got- naa I should probably
not do that.
J: (laughs)
M: Let's hug it out. Bro, bruh. Nice to
meet ya.
J: Ya, nice to meet you.
M: I feel like we should hold hands and
kinda do this.
J: (laughs)
M: (laughs too)
