 i was like a pretty chubby kid growing up who wanted like a girlfriend and who like you know dreamed of all these things that we could do together                                                                                                                                                                         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 my name is joseph derose i'm a usc student who studies film and television production these all c100 mark ones are mark ii never mind i've been um single for a couple years now and hoping to find somebody who shares my passions and who i can do the things i love with hi hi i'm briar joseph how's it going nice to meet you you too i'm briar i'm from orange county california and i'm currently going to school to become a veterinarian i've been single for about 10 months now and i'm ready to start dating again should we pick a flavor sure yeah let's see what do you prefer um i don't know i'll help you out a little bit all right raspberry that's not good okay this is a good one for you is there something that you've dreamed of doing for a long time and why haven't you done it of the things that i want to do eventually in life the only one that i would at all have like the the slightest bit of possibility to do now would be to just like kind of take off i'd really like to just do like the walter mitty thing and just like oh my god that's my favorite movie yeah no i know i love that movie yeah that's literally what i would like to do too yeah i always told myself as soon as i graduate high school i just want to go traveling like a gap year but that's one thing i will hold myself to do for sure when did you last cry in front of another person or by yourself or both i am not too emotional i don't cry a lot i think the last time i cried was with my sistern when we were watching think it was titanic i know that's very funny but the only time i will actually cry is if i get like super moved in a movie yeah it's funny because i'm like the exact opposite where i i don't actually think i've ever cried during a movie i've gotten like teary-eyed and close and i'll be like oh wow i'm about to cry during a movie and then it just stops and i'm like wow that's sad there was like a period pretty much for all of freshman year when i was just like very bottled up and was going through a lot of things just with like moving away from home i would just be like in bed and my roommate sleeping across you know i'd just be like silently like tears coming on my face um but yeah that was a terrible year but you seem better now so that's good it seems like you're in a good place yeah ooh what is your most treasured memory i think growing up we would always go out to the desert and just spend like a weekend out there like for christmas during the summer like any time and it was just so fun like being out there because if you go out there it's just like pure silent like it's so beautiful i think for me i think this was after like one of my first dates with my my girlfriend from high school um it was like the first serious relationship i had like the only so far i guess but i was like a pretty chubby kid growing up and so i always like was like a little chubby weird nerd who wanted like a girlfriend and who like you know dreamed of all these things that we could do together but kind of thought that it would just never happen after that like first date it was like oh like i actually have that and this is like becoming reality and like i've gotten here i don't know it's one of those moments when you just kind of feel like you have a good perspective of what life is and you kind of understand how nothing matters except for your personal experience of life because that's the only thing that's real to you and at that moment that experience was really good that's awesome final task oh wow okay i'm gonna laugh i would say he's really sweet he is very intelligent which i find very attractive honestly my mind went all over the place at first then also i was thinking about how pretty his eyes  and just kind of focusing on that i like the color of her eyes [Music] i like brown green where are you i wish i had blue eyes i wish i had brown eyes [Music] i'd say that she's definitely someone who cares a lot about nature and kind of has a spirit of adventure she looks at her life as like the things that she has in front of her as opposed to things you've got behind you which is good because i feel like i probably dwell on the past too much i feel like i just looked into your soul it's kind of hard to overpower the nervousness but i felt pretty comfortable at the same time he made really good eye contact and didn't make me feel awkward at all i definitely would he seems like he'd be really fun we share a lot of similar interests with nature that was definitely one of the more unique experiences of my life um yeah i've never been on a blind date or anything before so would you be interested in that oh yeah i think maybe honestly yeah i mean i think i think it'd be interesting just to talk more i don't know i don't think there's anything romantic there but maybe just to talk about our similar perspectives um on some things would you be open to like saying that like to her yeah yeah i mean i think hopefully that's not offensive i mean so they asked uh if we go on a second date i'm curious first what you said yes so yeah i feel like um totally honest like i'd definitely be down to to go like and talk more um i like didn't feel like a like a romantic spark at all or anything but i would definitely like i'd like to continue the conversation definitely hang out and do something fun like go to the beach or something like that that'd be really cool i feel like the difference between friends and romantic interests is really difficult to define and that's something i've always tried to pinpoint and never been able to i would say that it was pretty nerve-wracking of course i was really nervous but it was overall a really good experience and i'm really happy it happened hey guys this is jason this is ian i just
