Speaker 3: Let's just bring them in. Ari, come on in. Hello, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3: It is just so nice to see you here.
Speaker 4: This is an excellent opportunity for me to kind of
Speaker 4: be like, you know what, I'll meet three contestants and
Speaker 4: be like, don't be like me.
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely not. I see the opposite, and I just
Speaker 7: want to say, Bigo, you were tall enough.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you for that. I really appreciate that. Thank you. Okay,
Speaker 3: so we're looking like five seven above. This is good. No,
Speaker 3: I thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Honestly, what an amazing opportunity to bring someone that I
Speaker 4: used to date to the show and then find a
Speaker 4: wonderful person that aligns with you and your journey.
Speaker 7: Ah, it's perfect. I mean, you know me so well
Speaker 7: for real, of all my exes, you're someone that I
Speaker 7: have like a very cherished friendship with no shay to
Speaker 7: the other exes. We're good too, We're good. But Vico,
Speaker 7: you've always been a friend like before, during and after.
Speaker 1: Oh well, listen, Vico knows you really well, but a
Speaker 1: will Leita doesn't. Yes, So let's get to talking a
Speaker 1: little bit about what you are all about. What is
Speaker 1: it that you are looking for today on date Maya Alita?
Speaker 7: First, well, I will I have to say I feel
Speaker 7: like I'm in very good hands, so thank you for
Speaker 7: having me. You're well and I mean tall, dark and handsome. Yes,
Speaker 7: Gender aside, it's that's not a factor for me and
Speaker 7: someone who is connected to themselves. That's the first thing
Speaker 7: that's coming to mind, and lives life boldly, courageously, honestly.
Speaker 7: I think I want a partner's who's ready to face
Speaker 7: the world together.
Speaker 5: You're ready to settle down. I am you are? What
Speaker 5: made you decide on that?
Speaker 7: I actually spent the last year single. It's the longest
Speaker 7: I've been single, and that connected me not only to
Speaker 7: myself but to the world, and like how I want
Speaker 7: to relate to the world and show up who I
Speaker 7: want to show up as. And so I think because
Speaker 7: of that time spent with myself dating myself, I can
Speaker 7: date someone else. Now.
Speaker 4: Yes, Now, when you and I were dating, we were
Speaker 4: both exploring polyamory.
Speaker 3: Is that something that you're still inclining to?
Speaker 4: Are you looking for something more monogamous or non monogamish?
Speaker 3: Where are we at?
Speaker 7: We're monogamish, monogamish.
Speaker 5: I love that monogamish thing, love it into it. Let
Speaker 5: me ask you about your grandmother.
Speaker 1: I know that you took care of your grandmother during
Speaker 1: the pandemic.
Speaker 5: Well she got ill, yes.
Speaker 7: I did. Her caretaker needed to go work in the
Speaker 7: hospital during COVID. So I moved in. And it was
Speaker 7: in you know, a single day kind of decision because
Speaker 7: I had to quarantine and all of that stuff. So
Speaker 7: I like dropped everything and and quarantined for a while,
Speaker 7: and then I moved in with her. And she was
Speaker 7: my morning and night, I mean, my first thought in
Speaker 7: the morning, my last thought before I went to bed.
Speaker 7: We had our routines. I would sing to her this
Speaker 7: like morning song in the morning, and I sang her
Speaker 7: to her at night and we watched Grace and Frankie
Speaker 7: together until she fell asleep.
Speaker 5: Oh I love that show.
Speaker 1: What advice that Awilita gave you about life and love
Speaker 1: that you can move on and Carrie always she was.
Speaker 7: So supportive of who I was that I felt, you know,
Speaker 7: through all of the relationships, she supported the mess and
Speaker 7: she was like, I'm here for you. I love you unconditionally.
Speaker 7: You date whoever you want. And then I did ask
Speaker 7: her when you know, it was one of her last nights.
Speaker 7: I remember that because I had pressed record on my
Speaker 7: phone and I was just listening to her talk and
Speaker 7: collecting some things, and I said, Almah, what is the
Speaker 7: meaning of life? And she goes wow, and she like
Speaker 7: looked out at the ocean and she goes to give
Speaker 7: life meaning?
Speaker 5: And I was.
Speaker 1: Damn, absolutely wow. What a beautiful insight on what kind
Speaker 1: of woman she was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love, I love.
Speaker 4: Also, we see a tattoo on your arm here, do
Speaker 4: you want to tell us a little bit of your tattoo?
Speaker 7: So my grandma was an artist and she had a
Speaker 7: gorgeous art studio that I was working out of when
Speaker 7: I was living there, and I would go through all
Speaker 7: like her old sketches, and I found this one when
Speaker 7: we were cleaning up her studio after she passed away.
Speaker 7: And it's for those of you who can't see, it's
Speaker 7: the drawing of a woman. She's nude and she looks
Speaker 7: eerily like my aunt.
Speaker 4: Amazing.
Speaker 7: We don't know who modeled for her, but I did
Speaker 7: finish the painting myself. So I have the sketch and
Speaker 7: I watercolored it and it's hanging up in the bedroom.
Speaker 3: That is beautiful.
Speaker 4: Now, going into the dating, are you looking for someone
Speaker 4: who's also an artist or someone that's somewhat aligns and
Speaker 4: compliments your artistry because you are multifaceted.
Speaker 3: You're right, You.
Speaker 4: Sing, you draw, you pain? Do you you know all
Speaker 4: the things.
Speaker 8: I see you?
Speaker 7: I know you had to see me never.
Speaker 3: I did it voluntarily.
Speaker 1: I want who.
Speaker 7: Voluntarily sees me as the creative that I am. I
Speaker 7: would love to date a creative I mean an artists
Speaker 7: themselves or has the mind of an artist, if that
Speaker 7: makes sense. I'm not like Steadfast. I will say that
Speaker 7: I've never dated a musician. M so open to it.
Speaker 7: That'd be interesting.
Speaker 8: You're here.
Speaker 4: You said you've been dating yourself this past year, and
Speaker 4: I know you and I have talked a lot about
Speaker 4: what we've learned in past relationships and how we want
Speaker 4: to show up as a partner in the future.
Speaker 3: Can you share with us and I will lead that.
Speaker 3: How does that look like?
Speaker 4: And when you are looking for a partner, what are
Speaker 4: those green flags that you're like, Oh, yes, I want that.
Speaker 3: I want more of that.
Speaker 7: Lets me have my morning routine.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 7: And someone who listens without the intent to reply. Do
Speaker 7: you know what.
Speaker 5: I'm just venting? Just listen?
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, need to fit.
Speaker 1: One question for you, Ari, How have your past relationships
Speaker 1: and not naming any names affected the way that you
Speaker 1: carry yourself?
Speaker 7: Do you mind if you step away for a second.
Speaker 4: I know exactly what I did so and we definitely
Speaker 4: talked about it.
Speaker 5: No, I definitely all right, ladies and gentlemen, this is phase.
Speaker 7: The day.
Speaker 4: When we met, I was coming out of my renowned
Speaker 4: fu boy face, but I wanted to earnestly, actually date
Speaker 4: and create an emotional connection.
Speaker 3: But I still had no tools yet to really be
Speaker 3: able to lean in.
Speaker 4: I remember once we were talking when we're still dating
Speaker 4: and I had a moment of like emotion where I
Speaker 4: like cried a little bit and then Ari was like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's nice to see you be.
Speaker 3: Human, and I was like, you've seen too much. I
Speaker 3: gotta get out of here.
Speaker 4: I could see you wanting to connect with me and
Speaker 4: be vulnerable and like, let me be vulnerable, And I
Speaker 4: had no tools yet to be okay with like letting
Speaker 4: you see the threads of my composition.
Speaker 3: So that's the last.
Speaker 7: Mean, honestly why they said it all?
Speaker 1: So how do you carry yourself into the next relationship?
Speaker 5: What are you bringing to it?
Speaker 7: I'm just really willing to set aside everything I think
Speaker 7: I know about relationships and be so open to learning
Speaker 7: along the way truly. And also we go like I
Speaker 7: am constantly in a process of allowing myself to show
Speaker 7: up messy with all my threads and accept that and
Speaker 7: not strive for perfection. I heard recently that perfectionism is
Speaker 7: the pursuit of the worst and yourself.
Speaker 1: It's a waste of time and energy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you had one specific thing you want, a
Speaker 1: Willita to make sure that it's part of this new relationship.
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 7: Must love dogs here here in therapy, But I feel
Speaker 7: like a lot of people are these days.
Speaker 3: Okay, muscle of dogs.
Speaker 4: And ideally, I mean we can ask about the therapy
Speaker 4: thing because it won't hurt.
Speaker 3: I don't know why not.
Speaker 1: You know nowadays everybody's in therapy.
Speaker 3: One can only home. Well, I think we've done it.
Speaker 4: We are going to bring in three contestants for how
Speaker 4: we lead that to connect you with and fingers crossed.
Speaker 4: By the end of this, we'll find you a special someone.
Speaker 4: So uh, let's bring on the contestants.
Speaker 3: We'll be back after the break. Welcome back today, Maya
Speaker 3: Wani the first. Let's do it.
Speaker 4: Let's welcome our contestants. Welcome contestants. First up, we have Abby.
Speaker 4: Abby was raised.
Speaker 3: In a religious family.
Speaker 4: Her grandfather was a preacher, and it wasn't so easy
Speaker 4: for her to come out.
Speaker 3: But now that she is, she says she wants to
Speaker 3: be come more gay every day.
Speaker 4: She's a once divorced, hopeless romantic who is unfortunately often.
Speaker 3: Drawn to people who play hard to get. Welcome Abby, Hi.
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me on the show.
Speaker 3: Yes, a pleasure. And now we have Iris.
Speaker 4: Iris just got out of a long term relationship and
Speaker 4: is looking to reconnect with the community. Their friends have
Speaker 4: described them as sometimes being too sweet and nice. Iris
Speaker 4: dreams of one day buying some land in Maico and
Speaker 4: building a big, beautiful dream home.
Speaker 3: Where's the invite.
Speaker 4: They have trouble flirting, but are not afraid to live
Speaker 4: and try new things as long as it doesn't have
Speaker 4: to do with height.
Speaker 3: Same say hello, Iris, say everyone a pleasure.
Speaker 4: And last, but certainly not least, Anthony. Anthony frequently gets
Speaker 4: mistaken for bat bunny, which I I can see it
Speaker 4: for those of you listening very much looks like that bunny.
Speaker 4: I thought he was my cousin. But it's not the
Speaker 4: ladies who get excited, it's the straight men. Flex I
Speaker 4: love that he's an only child with a very close
Speaker 4: relationship with his mom and his grandma. Anthony is drawn
Speaker 4: to which he's spiritual, astrology loving women, and his self
Speaker 4: described toxic traits are self deprecation and listening to Kanye.
Speaker 1: Hello Anthony, Yeah that Kanye thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, what a treat to meet you all.
Speaker 3: Let's get to know you further with our first game.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing.
Speaker 4: Our main dater is a musician who loves to pour
Speaker 4: their heart into their songwriting. Today, we'd love to see
Speaker 4: how you might react to certain relationship scenarios while also
Speaker 4: getting a sense of your music taste.
Speaker 3: This game of record reactions is simple.
Speaker 4: We'll give you a scenario and you'll respond with a
Speaker 4: song title that describes how you'd react. For example, if
Speaker 4: the scenario was you run into an X and they
Speaker 4: haven't changed one bit, I might say shallow as sung
Speaker 4: by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper or whatever you wants
Speaker 4: that song? Good, yes, all right, fantastic, Liliana take it
Speaker 4: away with your first scenario.
Speaker 1: Okay, are we ready our first scenario? Your situationship texts
Speaker 1: you that they'd like to start taking things a little
Speaker 1: more seriously.
Speaker 3: What would be the song that goes with that?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Iris, take it away.
Speaker 6: I think that the next thing would be kissed Me
Speaker 6: by sixpence, none the richer, Oh Anthony.
Speaker 2: The one that I got was come when you call
Speaker 2: by a TV.
Speaker 4: Girl, Come when you call by TV girl? And then Abby,
Speaker 4: what's yours?
Speaker 8: I would say, over and over by the.
Speaker 3: Into it, into it? Okay. I have the next scenario.
Speaker 4: You're hooking up with someone and they ask you to
Speaker 4: make animal Noises, Abby, go for.
Speaker 6: It Tony by Jenuine Pony, Yeah, in.
Speaker 3: It that one?
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: I love a good strip song.
Speaker 5: Yes, I say right it.
Speaker 3: Pony up. Incredible, Anthony, what would be the song for this?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 9: Well, since it's animal noises, I'm gonna say X go
Speaker 9: and give it to you by DMX.
Speaker 3: Okay, Eggs, gonna give it to ya. I'm definitely making.
Speaker 5: A like the name.
Speaker 3: Iris. Do you have a song?
Speaker 2: I am just gonna go and be cheesy. Let the
Speaker 2: dogs out.
Speaker 5: Let the dogs out.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, too good. That is amazing, Alita, Do
Speaker 3: you have another scenario?
Speaker 5: Okay, now here's the final scenario.
Speaker 1: Your mom asks to meet your partner after you've been
Speaker 1: dating them for three months.
Speaker 3: Abby, go for it, take us away.
Speaker 6: I would do a Gora Hills by doshakat a Gora
Speaker 6: Hills by do Cat where.
Speaker 8: She's like, I want to show you off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to show you off? Okay, cute?
Speaker 5: Okay, how about you, Anthony?
Speaker 2: I would do Pila Jones by Frank Oshan.
Speaker 3: Oh Jos, Reness, it seems like y' all know what's up?
Speaker 5: How about you? Iris?
Speaker 8: It's a little difficult for me to answer that because
Speaker 8: I feel like my mom would not ask.
Speaker 7: To meet my partner.
Speaker 3: Maybe the song reflects that. Absolutely, I would say, like,
Speaker 3: not gonna happen?
Speaker 5: Is that a song?
Speaker 3: No, I can make it up right now, not gonna
Speaker 3: happen now.
Speaker 7: Something like that.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, yeah, here, here, here, here noted.
Speaker 4: It's clear to me that you all have impeccable music
Speaker 4: taste and then yeah, sometimes some unquestionable relationship interactions.
Speaker 3: It all makes sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, you're right, But we.
Speaker 1: Still have so much more to learn about these things,
Speaker 1: beautiful contests, and so let's play another game.
Speaker 5: Yes we will.

Speaker 4: communication style.
Speaker 3: In this game, you'll be given a text.
Speaker 4: From your new partner that you'll need to respond with
Speaker 4: a completely original acronym. So, for example, if I got
Speaker 4: a text that said, I'm running late to our date
Speaker 4: dot dot dot again, can we reschedule? Instead of me
Speaker 4: texting NBD, no big deal, would make my own acronym
Speaker 4: and be NTMA, which is never text me again. Maybe
Speaker 4: I'll add a B there and be like bitch anyway,
Speaker 4: just kidding. Do you want to give the first text?
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody respond to this text. Had such a fun

Speaker 5: That Hello, how are you, my love?
Speaker 3: I'm great, you are beautiful.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, thank you your dimples.
Speaker 3: I did hi. I love dimples.
Speaker 1: You know when you were born, God went, what a cutie. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about your love life. What
Speaker 1: is that about what has it been in the past.
Speaker 6: I was in a two committed relationships back to bad so,
Speaker 6: I was in a five year relationship with a woman
Speaker 6: I was not in love with, and then I got married.
Speaker 6: So I'm recently divorced. It was two years, but I
Speaker 6: was in a committed relationship with her for ten years.
Speaker 1: Okay, So tell me a little bit about the relationship
Speaker 1: with your mom and how how has that affected who
Speaker 1: you are and who you are moving forward into a
Speaker 1: new relationship.
Speaker 6: My mom, she's the oldest of the preacher's daughter, so
Speaker 6: she grew up really religious and she didn't accept the
Speaker 6: fact that I was queer.
Speaker 8: I'm gay.
Speaker 6: We kind of had a rocky relationship growing up only
Speaker 6: because of the fact that I'm gay.
Speaker 8: But we're really good now, so.
Speaker 6: She's changed her mindset about how she views LGBTQ plus community.
Speaker 1: A little difficult when you're that religious, when you have
Speaker 1: so much of the religion itself just telling you, oh no,
Speaker 1: that's bad, that's wrong. But with the times change, and
Speaker 1: you know, parents and grandparents, we all have to be
Speaker 1: so much more open minded and open hearted. So after
Speaker 1: these two relationships, what did you learn about them.
Speaker 5: And what are you looking for now.
Speaker 6: I learned that you should not date someone that you're
Speaker 6: not in love with or planning and telling up the
Speaker 6: second one.
Speaker 8: I mean, it wasn't a mistake. We just grew apart.
Speaker 5: What made you marry that person?
Speaker 6: She was my best friend, so you know, we dated
Speaker 6: for that long and then we decided to get married.
Speaker 8: But then and we were like, nah, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1: So okay, So what is the qualities that you're looking
Speaker 1: for in your new partner.
Speaker 6: I like someone who's motivated, who's talented, honest, clear communication.
Speaker 1: And you're ready to settle down into one relationship. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you've tried all the dating naps and all those
Speaker 1: things too.
Speaker 6: I'm fairly new to it, so I'm just on bumble's
Speaker 6: I honestly, I'm exhausted from uploading like profiles and swiping.
Speaker 8: So I was like, yeah, let me come on this
Speaker 8: dating show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, let's see what we can do.
Speaker 3: Thank you so so much, Abby. We are going to
Speaker 3: welcome back Anthony.
Speaker 4: I'm going to go ahead and hand you over to
Speaker 4: Awilita for a little CAFFERSI the one on one Ailita.
Speaker 5: They get away, Anthony. You know where I'm going? What
Speaker 5: is this thing with Kanye.
Speaker 9: Well, as someone who has made music, especially it's the
Speaker 9: similar kind of music. I just really relate to him
Speaker 9: on like that level. So like the music that he
Speaker 9: made and like how he got to where he is
Speaker 9: like just inspires me. So like I kind of like
Speaker 9: grew up with him. So it's mainly just the music side.
Speaker 9: I know, like outside that he's batshit crazy.
Speaker 5: So you know, what instruments do you play? What do
Speaker 5: you do?
Speaker 2: So I mainly do like producing and like singing, rapping.
Speaker 9: I'm trying to learn the piano, attempted the guitar kind
Speaker 9: of just like gave up, but I'm starting to get
Speaker 9: back into it, and then i have like a synthesizer,
Speaker 9: so that's like the only actual instrument I play.
Speaker 1: So what are the qualities you're looking for in a
Speaker 1: partner besides being interested in music?
Speaker 2: Communication? Number one?
Speaker 9: Just because like it's taking me a while to get
Speaker 9: better at communicating, so like now that I'm like kind
Speaker 9: of getting there, I also need someone to be really
