Transcript

00:00If you're in a spot where you're looking to us for advice,

00:02it's pretty much over.

00:03You've hit rock bottom.

00:04Hi, I'm Brooke Averick.

00:06And I'm Connor Wood, and this is If It Were Me with Cosmo.

00:10Today, we're going through some real-life confessions

00:12from Cosmo readers.

00:13And telling you how we would handle them.

00:15The speed dater.

00:16I went on an amazing first date.

00:18We instantly clicked, but I found out on the second date

00:20that he had another date lined up later that night.

00:22This is a huge turnoff.

00:23Am I overreacting for getting the ick?

00:25You don't want to put all your eggs in one date.

00:28Sure, but you could always do it the next night.

00:30You could, but I don't know what his...

00:31Two in one night is it.

00:33What if he's a first responder?

00:35What does that have to do with it? I'm sorry.

00:36What if that was his one day of not responding?

00:39Yeah, I guess I would ask,

00:40are you first responding on the other days?

00:43Is that why?

00:43This feels like, oh, he's looking for something serious.

00:46Yeah, maybe it's actually great.

00:48Because he didn't think that he was going to go and sleep with you after the date.

00:51Maybe he thought he was going to sleep with the other one.

00:53Yeah, she had the second spot.

00:54Second responder.

00:55Do you go on two dates in a night?

00:56No, I wouldn't go on one date in a night.

00:58I wouldn't have the energy.

00:59I'm so tired.

01:01The Stan.

01:02My girlfriend is the ultimate Jeremiah Fisher super fan.

01:04Like, next level obsessed.

01:06I was cool with it at first,

01:07but now she wants me to role play as him in the bedroom.

01:10How do I say no without killing the fantasy?

01:12Kill it.

01:12Like, I...

01:13I didn't watch the show.

01:14It's not good.

01:14I just want to be transparent.

01:15It's not good.

01:16Is he the bad one?

01:17Is he the evil brother?

01:18It's not a matter of, like, evil and good.

01:20It's a matter of, like, cringe.

01:22Cringe?

01:23Yeah, almost.

01:24Ooh.

01:24He whines, too.

01:25He whines a lot.

01:26Oh, and whine for me, baby.

01:27Yeah.

01:27If you ask me who's the last person you want in the bedroom, I would say Jeremiah Fisher.

01:31Like, propose with a tiny little ring in those huge glasses.

01:35Blue eyes?

01:36Strikingly blue eyes.

01:37You'd have to get colored contacts.

01:39That would be alarming.

01:39You could turn the lights off and it would just be your eyes.

01:42Checkout time.

01:43I've been dating someone for six months.

01:45Lately, they'll stay over for five nights in a row and will be there when I leave for

01:48work and then when I come back.

01:49I love them, but I need my space.

01:51How do I politely tell them it's time to go home?

01:53I mean, squatters rights.

01:55Clear communication comes into play here.

01:57Unfortunately, Will just have to say, like, hi, I really like you, but I'm someone who values

02:01my space.

02:02Me personally, I would just move out.

02:05I'd just find another apartment.

02:06That seems like the easier option.

02:07It's easier.

02:08I've had roommates that, like, have been in the house every second of every day, and

02:12that's why I live alone now.

02:13No one should ever be too comfortable.

02:15I'm uncomfortable if everyone's not always on edge.

02:18I'm lined with that.

02:20My business.

02:21I told a co-worker who I thought I could trust that I had a crush on someone on our team.

02:26The following week, he brought it up in a meeting in front of the whole team.

02:29Do I pretend it's fine or do I call him out for spilling my tea at work?

02:33Calling him out is not enough.

02:34You have to call the feds.

02:35Call the FBI SWAT team.

02:38He needs to be taken away and removed from the premises.

02:41That's like a hippo.

02:41He's a bad person.

02:43My old boss said to me in a one-on-one, work is way more fun when you have a crush, and

02:47then was, like, helping me find.

02:48I agree.

02:49It's so true.

02:50It was fun.

02:51Did you find someone?

02:52No.

02:52And then I got fired.

02:54It was unrelated to that.

02:55The bestie.

02:56I've been saving my virginity for the right time, but I'm almost 30 and overweighting.

03:00I drunkenly asked my brother's friend if he'd be my first, and he said yes.

03:03Would it be awful if I did it behind my brother's back?

03:06That sounds like a great rom-com novel.

03:08Summer I turned pretty, no?

03:10Not at all.

03:10Okay.

03:11I didn't see it.

03:11Maybe it's like succession.

03:12I didn't see that either.

03:13Not quite that either.

03:14But that's a great trope, is brother's best friend.

03:17I am encouraging you to full send that, and then let me know how it goes, and then maybe

03:21I can write a novel about your experience.

03:24If we can make this a lucrative venture for you, then I think do it.

03:27And I love it.

03:28Time is so short, and it can also be very long if your brother finds out.

03:31I have siblings, and I never understand when people are, like, really angry about their

03:36sibling, like, hooking up with someone.

03:38Your best friend.

03:39So?

03:39Isn't that great?

03:40I've had, like, crushes on teachers, just in a, like, I love admiring you from afar.

03:45That is more like Stockholm Syndrome.

03:46It's like when you go to work every day, and it's like this person in this environment,

03:49I'm so attracted to them, but then you see them at-

03:51Stockholm Syndrome is when you get kidnapped and fall in love with your captor.

03:54Oh.

03:56Okay.

03:56Well, having a job is kind of like being kidnapped.

03:59New party trick.

04:00My boyfriend is suddenly trying new moves in the bedroom, and it's making me wonder if he's

04:04learning them from someone else.

04:06Am I paranoid, or is this a valid red flag?

04:08I don't know, but I'd be having the same spiral.

04:10And then I'd probably go on Reddit, which never helps.

04:13No, you should never open Reddit.

04:14I think you're okay.

04:16I think he's probably watching porn.

04:17He could just be watching porn, which is great news.

04:19Yeah.

04:20I wouldn't ask it.

04:20Yeah.

04:21Open and honest communication.

04:21You'd even jokingly be like, what the hell was that?

04:23Who have you been-

04:24You could be passive aggressive about it, too.

04:25That always works.

04:26Who's better have your boots been under?

04:29Circle of trust.

04:29I learned my partner of one year, posted his close friends, but I'm not on it.

04:33What should I say to him without being weird about it?

04:35Be weird about it.

04:36Be weird about it.

04:37That's insane.

04:38I've asked people way further away from them than dating them for a year, and I'm like,

04:42Hey.

04:42Totally.

04:42Did I just see that you have a green circle on your thing, and I didn't know about it?

04:45This is a problem.

04:46That's humiliating.

04:46If I found out from someone I knew, did you see this close friend story, I'd be like,

04:51no.

04:53I'd kind of short circuit.

04:54I'm so passive aggressive, I would just text them and be like, I didn't know you had

04:57a close friend.

04:57Yeah, you would.

04:58Yeah.

04:59I have every right to snoop if I'm not on your close friends.

05:02Spill the tea.

05:03I saw my roommate's boyfriend on the tea app, and his post had 30 plus red flags.

05:08Oh my gosh.

05:08I don't have receipts, though.

05:10Should I stay quiet if she's happily in love?

05:13You have to say something.

05:1430 plus red flags.

05:16I would say one to two would even be enough.

05:18Remind me what the tea app is.

05:19It's the one where people can post people that they dated, then rate a green or red flag

05:24or leave any comments.

05:25Could she just walk her phone over to physically show her friend or no?

05:29That might be intense.

05:3030 plus, that means something's wrong.

05:32If I was on the tea app and there were ratings about me, no.

05:35The less I know, the better.

05:36That's something that, like, that's none of my business.

05:37I mean, I don't want to see.

05:38I mean, I don't want anything besides positive feedback.

05:40I wouldn't be in this situation because I would have already found him.

05:43I'm going to go on the tea app.

05:44I'm going to go on your mom's Facebook app.

05:47She's not going to go on to Venmo.

05:48I'm going to drive down your street.

05:50Yeah.

05:51Flop era.

05:52My boyfriend's acting like a full-time influencer, minus the followers.

05:55We've all been there.

05:56All of his content flops.

05:58We've all been there.

05:59Yet he's glued to his phone.

05:59How do I say it's affecting our relationship without sounding jealous?

06:03You do sound jealous.

06:04I would report his account.

06:06I want to give advice to the boyfriend.

06:07Keep going.

06:07Flop era's end.

06:08That's why it's an era.

06:09What do we say to people when they ask what we do for work?

06:12I am a consultant by trade.

06:14I work in tech.

06:15Right.

06:15For me, that's pretty much a conversation.

06:18No one ever asks further into consulting.

06:20Some people on Hinge ask if they can come on our podcast.

06:24Podcast, yeah.

06:24Although that could be fun.

06:26Good first date.

06:27Oh, that could be fun.

06:27That could be a fun first date.

06:28Do the first date on the podcast.

06:29But I want to be able to, I want to ask you.

06:31You can't ask me.

06:32First date idea.

06:33Come on my podcast.

06:33Yes.

06:34Ruck.

06:34Ooh, new prompt.

06:36Unlocked.

06:36Yeah, that's fun.

06:38Now it's time for the quickie.

06:40Post the pic ASAP or group chat approval?

06:42Group chat approval.

06:43I'm ASAP.

06:44Archive the pics or leave them on the grid after a breakup?

06:46Leave.

06:47Coffee date or drinks date?

06:48I'm going to archive them.

06:49That is your journey.

06:51Okay.

06:51Coffee dates or drinks?

06:52Drinks.

06:53Yep.

06:54Double text or left undelivered?

06:55Double text.

06:56Situationship or nothing at all?

06:58Situationship.

06:59Block your ex or stalk them on social media?

07:01Stalk.

07:02Get broken up with your voice note or get ghosted?

07:04Voice note.

07:05Ghosted.

07:05I don't want the closure.

07:07Love at first sight or slow burn?

07:08Slow burn.

07:09Yeah, I prefer a slow burn, but I am not able to not fall in love at first sight.

07:13Apologize first or hold a grudge?

07:14Hold a grudge.

07:15Apologize first.

07:16Send a sexy pic or receive a sexy pic?

07:18Receive.

07:19I'd probably send.

07:21Hook up, playlist, or total silence?

07:24Playlist.

07:24TV.

07:25Thank you so much for watching.
