That's a lot Yeah, 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: definitely a lot um more or than I had thought 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: when I was like recapping at the end, I was like, wow, 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: I really put in work this ye day. That's almost 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: like every other week if you think about it. Yeah, yeah, 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: I said, it's bumble hinge, I r r L dinner dates, 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: would tell me what you compiled? What did you do? Yeah? 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: So ever since I started dating, I was already keeping 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: track of my dating life and my notes tap, so 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,919 Speaker 1: I would keep track up things like their name, their age, 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: where we met, so whether it was bumble hinge in 26 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: real life, and then like a little one liner so 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: I could remember the date. And when you know, I always, 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: as I think all women do, we have like a 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: little like dab after a day with our girlfriends and 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: like chat about the dates. So around October, I was like, 31 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 1: why don't I recap my dating life since I noticed 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: I was going on a lot more days this year 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: than I had in the past. Um, And I was 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: already sharing the information with my friends, so I thought, 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: why not share it with with kiktok. So you call 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: yourself a walking red flag? Why? I obviously hyped that 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: off a band it um to the video. But you know, 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: I think we all have our flaws. I'm very I'm 39 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: hyper independent, which I think is a great thing to be, 40 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: but sometimes I could be a little too independent, and 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: then I'm that person who never I like I don't 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: like being serious, I like joking ninety percent of the time, 43 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: so I think, you know, that's not always the best 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: way to be Sometimes you've got to be more serious. 45 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: So I think maybe those are the two reasons I'm 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: a walking red flag. And how's the response been to 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: your video? Like our guys filling up your d m s? Yeah, 48 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: a little crazy, The dms are definitely being filled um, 49 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: But overall, like, the response has been amazing. Um. Some 50 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: of the guys who I went out with this year 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: and even past years have reached out to congratulate me. 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: So I think that's been really special that it's been 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: from all around. I love it. All Right, Well, who's 54 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: gonna do this next? Yeah? I know right. I think 55 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: that's such a great idea. I like, honestly, I think 56 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: it's so cool to go through because I think also 57 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: thinking back and remembering kind of like the blunders and 58 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: the bumps along the way, it makes you so much 59 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: more grateful when you find that person you're gonna spend 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: your life with, totally. And it also helped me realize 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: what I want in a partner. I think before this, 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: when people would ask me what I'm looking for, I 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: would describe really superficial things. The next thing. I know 64 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm describing Adam Brody, um, but like this year, I 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: was really able to reflect on like what I was 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: actually looking for. Why did you go on so many 67 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: walking dates? I don't know, honestly. I think it's like summer, 68 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: there's like some parks people just wanted to grab smoothies. 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: And I honestly didn't realize how much I hated walking 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: dates until I reflected on it and the reason I 71 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: hate walking dates. A lot of the comments were like, dude, 72 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people spending money on you, and 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: like that's not it at all. Um. I find walking 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: dates put a lot of pressure on you. You need 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: to like talk the whole time. There isn't really like 76 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: much distraction that it's not going well. So that's the 77 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: reason why I think maybe no more walking dates. I 78 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: like this.
