Three hopeful love seekers take a chance on a blind date. '50 Dates in 50 States' creator Matthew Wurnig began his journey to find love across all 50 states back in 2021. Today, he is going on his first blind date. Will his date be intimidated by his dating past? Will they give love a chance and go on a second date?
Emily is a 27-year-old occupational therapist from San Diego. She might have the most original dating strategy out there - she hands out her dating résumé to random hot strangers. Will her goofy approach help her on her blind date?
Kayne is a musician from Los Angeles, California. He 's been stuck in the 'friend zone' for a while, but he's hopeful that his next blind date might change everything.

02:4550 states I actually I started a thing and it was called it's called 50 dates 50
02:50states and I traveled all 50 states I went on a date in every state no way I
02:55started 50 dates 50 states the YouTube channel because back in 2020 when
03:00everybody was locked in and everybody was quarantined didn't really know what to
03:03do and we're looking for ways to entertain themselves I was like what if I did
03:06something fun and unique that you know brought everybody's eyes and attention
03:09to something entertaining and fun and uplifting and so that was my
03:13inspiration for starting that YouTube channel it's funny cuz like I said I've
03:16been on a hundred dates in the last two years and before this I was probably on
03:20maybe like five I was very slim and then I just took the bull by the horns and went
03:25all-in so I quit my full-time job and just like hit the road and I got like my
03:29truck wrapped with like my logo and you're like zip lining or hot air
03:33ballooning or like stuff like that it was super cool that's cool a sponsor of
03:38mine last year it was a dating app and it was called snack they said if I got
03:43someone to sign up for the app in every single state then they would buy me 50
03:49pretzels because their logo was like a pretzel yeah they bought me 50 Auntie
03:53Ann's pretzels and I got like oh so many it was so many I had like 20 cinnamon
03:59sugar like 10 pepperoni or something like 10 like just salt like normal ones there we go
04:05laid them all out in the on my hotel room bed that's actually so funny yeah definitely a
04:13interesting profession thank you oh my gosh I went to my first New York play this year which
04:20was so cool what was it it was uh Moulin Rouge I just saw that I was just in New York in January
04:26yeah oh that's so cool it was so good it was so good do you mind if I use the restaurant
04:32yeah sounds good it's going good Stephanie's a great gal you know she's never been on a date
04:38before so for how it's flowing I'm very impressed and uh we're having a really good time she's very
04:43down-to-earth very like gentle and genuine I can get those vibes from her right away
04:47how was your first date so far it's good you like it's good it's very chill I wasn't sure like what to
04:54expect because I'm like I don't know if it's gonna be like awkward but it's been very chill okay cool if
04:59you could go on a date with anybody like like a crush of yours like in in terms of like a celebrity
05:06crush okay okay who would who would it be dang putting you on the spot I was a One Direction fan
05:11growing up okay probably Niall Horan what about you I feel like a childhood crush of mine was uh
05:19Ashley Tisdale do you know who that is well well I didn't I don't know I've like said that before
05:23in the past people are like what like who is that but yeah Ashley Tisdale was
05:27oh in elementary when we'd have like a little folder to like block everybody from looking at
05:32our answers I had a folder decked out with Ashley Tisdale oh did you that's amazing yeah my sister
05:37made it for me I was like heck yeah so I'd always like if I was struggling I'd just look at her and
05:41I'd just be like give me inspiration come on Ashley tell me what to do this is for you so I mean
05:46obviously you have your 50 dates 50 states so you've done that twice you've been on 100 dates right
05:50with that yeah but like before that like do you go on a lot of dates or was that just
05:55honestly barely like which is so weird I like really took the bull by the horns and I just yeah
06:01did this and went on a bunch of dates but no I think beforehand I went on like I don't know
06:06maybe like five or so and I was and when I started this I was 24 and so like from you know zero
06:15until 24 yeah I went on five dates which like not a lot well it's five more than me so
06:22in Montana going on a date where you're riding like horseback with a girl yeah it's like it's
06:29like a big deal is that okay is like the cowboy hat rule is that like an actual thing cowboy hat
06:34rule like like if a guy gives his cowboy hat to a girl like wants to sleep with her like date her
06:39or whatever is that like a real thing what what you've never heard of that no I've never heard
06:44of it it was like all over tiktok you've never heard of that I've never heard this in my life
06:48what so like if I'm a cowboy and I have a cowboy hat on I like set on you that means I like want
06:52to hook up yeah no way that's hilarious I've never heard that I've never heard that I don't I think
06:57that's a myth all right Stephanie how was your first date experience it was very nice can you rank it on a
07:05scale of one to ten this is my only experience so I don't know let's go skills good nine why not
07:11it was super nice meeting you though it was great like I said I've never been on a blind date you've
07:16never been on a date so it's cool that we got to like do two firsts yeah and everything and I hope

07:24here yeah all right sounds good I think it went very well I I had a great time I was very
07:31comfortable it was a great first date yeah I thought I thought it was awesome
07:34Stephanie was super chill to just mesh with and I thought we vibed really well and it was great
07:38I'd like to see you see her again I think it'd be cool yeah I agree yeah my first blind date
07:45experience was 10 out of 10 I think it's taught me just to go into everything very open-minded you
07:50might not know what you're getting into especially in a blind date situation but again I went in
07:55pretty relaxed feel and open-minded and I thought we meshed really well and had a lot of fun
08:00when I fancy a guy I give them a dating resume hey I think you're pretty cute each one is different
08:27I do different prompts like things I like things I don't like today I'm going on a blind date I've
08:32never been on a blind date it's my first one are you nice to meet you so I'm wondering your perspective

14:07yeah yeah I'm sure everyone texts me back pretty much all the guys have texted me but as the dates go
14:14they think it's like a joke once they see it or they don't take it as seriously but it is genuine
14:19and serious I have a great response rate tons of guys hit me up for a minute you got the rotation
14:26yeah I have my rotation no a lot of guys hit me up but like they see it on tiktok and then they
14:31I mean you think it's a joke no they think it's a joke so they don't like take it seriously

15:47she gave me her jacket that was very sweet and I think she's a cool girl I thought I went awesome
15:54very cool down-to-earth guy would love to get to know more so do you guys think you'll see each other
16:00again definitely I hope my glasses
16:05no I am who I am period
16:17I'm going on my first blind date ever I'm a rock star today I'm looking for a rock baby all my
16:24friends friends on me so hopefully I'll get out of the friend zone today I think myself as a god
16:29making music crazy things happen my person would probably need to be somewhat okay with the possibility
16:36of something happening if they're not there okay I've been engaged twice twice okay I'll be up front and
16:43honest my name is Kane Dyna I'm 25 years old I'm going on my first blind date ever today if I had to
16:53describe myself in one sentence I would say that I'm incredibly unique because I have an unhuman work
17:01ethic I currently am partnered with an energy drink as well as I'm a music artist who's been making music
17:08since 2019 I also have my own clothing line I'm looking for a rock baby as far as like a good date
17:17you know getting to laugh and kind of forgetting about things make me escape my name is Myla Taylor I'm
17:24from Kentucky and I'm 23 years old I act right now I've been bartending and learning to bartend I've never
17:31been on a blind date so this is exciting I have zero idea about my date today I think it's best when
17:37two people can like actually converse listen to each other so if I have someone who's just constantly
17:42talking to me and like not letting me put any input then it could be a bit tough slightly nervous for
17:49this probably just kind of nerve in on a blind date she could come in here and be like a super fan at
17:53sight you know or so like I don't you know why are you so cocky hi how's it going good to meet you
18:09nice to meet you what's your name Kane Kane Kane Kane walking Kane yeah cool cool I'm Myla Myla yes
18:17yeah where are you from uh Tacoma Washington okay and then what brought you out here I make music
18:23I'm a rock star okay cool so you look like a music guy yeah yeah that's good yeah how long have
18:31you been doing music and everything since 2019 but I mean I started with dancing for like 10 years
18:36so that's pretty fun what do you do um I act yeah yeah but I came out here originally because I went to
18:44school here I did four years of college I took one semester off I was like studying abroad in London yeah
18:50and then I also studied like foreign diplomacy with like focus in business you know a lot of times when
18:57you're a music artist a model is kind of like the person that you want because if I'm on tour for six
19:02months and they're doing photo shoots for three of those months versus somebody who has like a regular
19:06job who wants this constant attention and cuddling what kind of music do you like see that's the thing
19:13you're like a big music person not yeah no I like the very awful like I like just basic pop music yeah
19:23I know music is such I've been getting into like k-pop slowly because my littlest sister is like listen
19:29to this I typically listen to music or similar to me so Justin Bieber Kim LaRoy okay well I'll listen to that
19:37kind of music thing do people ever go after you because you do like of your music or because you're
19:46like known and stuff like that they always yeah when people are dating they date to go out yeah well
19:51like my career is going out so like it's a lot of just like the same you know like I go to festivals
19:58clubs whatever when I'm going on dates is it like working or are we dating what are you looking for
20:05just career first are you looking for someone I don't know like my number one goal in life is
20:11becoming famous all right right now I think I'm just more on a journey of like exploring I'm not
20:21trying to put a lot of pressure on like finding someone have you ever loved anyone like been in
20:26love I've been engaged twice twice one of them was when I was 14 you got engaged really young I mean I
20:35don't know I'm very mature for my age so I would say like that person that I got engaged when I was 14
20:40I'm still best friends with her I was actually engaged for a second time when I was so there's a
20:47ring and everything yep since we're in LA and you talk about exploring all this stuff has polyamory
20:55ever crossed your brain non-monogamous oh I mean I don't think I mind it actually I mean has it like
21:03seriously crossed my mind no but I think it's because I haven't been with anyone who has suggested
21:08it um why are you is that what you're interested in at any point in time I could get a call to go
21:12to New York or Barson what is it parts Barcelona that one Barcelona yeah you know you never know
21:20where you can end up and so having a partner that understands that it's pretty important making music
21:25crazy things happen yeah my person would probably need to be somewhat okay with the possibility of
21:31something happening yeah if they're not there shoot would you excuse me yeah for sure God should
21:37check my phone and things she seems slightly open to non-monogamy in the rock star life that's a
21:42pretty common thing seems cool could be uh I mean well she definitely answers some of the questions
21:52correctly I would say he's typically not my type but he's really cool I would say
22:01uh I get friend zoned a lot so basically being a rock star it's pretty cool because I have a lot
22:09of friends that are very attractive which is dope you know it's cool to hang around pretty girls I
22:13guess uh but unfortunately they've all friends on me how's that been for you because I know like
22:18societally we're getting better but I know like definitely it hurts like the male ego things like
22:23that you can't really help that you know what I mean like sometimes you're just not someone's type
22:27I just think very high of myself I think of myself as a god but not a god like god like up here but
22:35like god a manifestation because anything that I put my mind to I get are you confident or cocky
22:41both depending on what you're talking about like for instance dancing I know for a fact that I'm a
22:47great dancer can you blow out some dance moves right now I'll do a go-to it's just like hey there you go we'll
22:55wait for you okay I'll be up front and honest do you see anything coming out of this I didn't think
23:02that you would be my type but you actually somehow have checked off some of these boxes right now we're
23:08just like hanging out friends seeing the vibe I mean not friends that's not friends but like you
23:13know what I mean sorry are you ready to go yeah I found the fact that he saw himself as a god like
23:21really interesting but he did have that clear distinction of like like a high mighty god I think
23:30if he would have done that I would have been a bit more confused how was the day oh I think it was
23:34absolutely terrible I'm kidding I'm joking no it was great I think I think I went well I think that
23:42she understands what it takes to be the rock star and she's very pretty and you know I would say
23:51this is worth it it's fun it's a good time
24:04you
