00:01Hey, how are you?
00:04I'm doing well.
00:05The question is, how are you?
00:06I'm awesome.
00:07So about how many hours would you say you're working?
00:09What neighborhood?
00:1040, 50, 60, 70, somewhere up in there?
00:12I would say 70 plus.
00:1370 plus hours a week that you're working.
00:15So how many hours a week are you putting into your love life?
00:18Zero.
00:19Zero, exactly.
00:20That's my problem.
00:21Uh-uh, not after today.
00:22We want you to spend more time on you.
00:24We have an incredible bachelor we can't wait for you to meet,
00:27so we want you to turn off your flirtiness,
00:29leave that 70-hour working girl at home,
00:31and today you get to be an incredible woman out on a first date.
00:34Okay.
00:35So we want you to have a good time.
00:36I'm ready.
00:37Do kiss and tell.
00:38All right.
00:39See ya.
00:50Hello.
00:51Hi, how are you?
00:52When I walked in and I saw a toy,
00:54I thought, this is a really nice-looking woman.
00:56I hope that this date goes pretty well.
00:58My first impression of LeVar,
01:00he was handsome,
01:01he was well-dressed,
01:02very polished.
01:03I'm Miriam.
01:04I own B Cake & Wine.
01:05We have some things to set up here for you guys
01:07so you can decorate this lovely cake.
01:09When I saw the cakes on the table,
01:11I wasn't really sure what to think about it.
01:13It's not really my thing.
01:14I don't really have a huge creative gene,
01:16but I look forward to your direction.
01:18All right.
01:19Does they have anything that we can squirt some of the liquid
01:24onto the cake to make something happen?
01:26Uh, no.
01:27I don't think so.
01:28I think it's whatever you see here is what we have.
01:30So, where are you from?
01:31Uh, originally I'm from Atlanta.
01:32Ah.
01:33Yes.
01:34But I've lived in New York for a while.
01:35Hey.
01:36I consider myself a New Yorker.
01:37Well, welcome.
01:38Yes.
01:39How about yourself?
01:40I'm from everywhere.
01:41Okay.
01:42So I'm originally from New York.
01:43Okay.
01:44I'm from New Jersey.
01:45Okay.
01:46And I've also studied abroad in New Zealand.
01:47Okay.
01:48Awesome.
01:49You know, he seems like a very nice person.
01:50Well-traveled, well-rounded.
01:51Tell me about your dating life.
01:52Are you single, divorced, married?
01:53I hope so.
01:54Because I shouldn't be here if I'm not.
01:55Do you have a time frame?
01:56Do you want to have children?
01:57I don't want to get married just for the sake of saying I'm married, but because I've found
02:14a compliment to my life and whose life I can compliment.
02:17Right.
02:18What types of men do you like?
02:20Tall, bald-headed?
02:21I don't make my decisions based on that.
02:24I just felt like his questions were based on, like, dating, and it was so intentional.
02:29I want to know, like, what drives you as a person versus what's your so-called box around
02:34dating.
02:35How has your dating life been?
02:38Dating's very different from my era.
02:40Okay.
02:41I like to say because when you see a beautiful woman, you can walk up to her on the street,
02:45introduce yourself, have a conversation, get a number.
02:48Nowadays, especially in New York, when you do something like that, she has one hand in
02:52her purse, she's ready to grab the mace, so it's a little different.
02:55Do you think the women in New York are different than the women out, like, beyond New York?
02:59Yes.
03:00Okay.
03:01How so?
03:02I'm curious.
03:03A little more standoffish.
03:04Because maybe they're more selective, huh?
03:12So far, we've pretty much ruined everything she's given to us.
03:17It's still edible.
03:18It is very edible.
03:20Yeah, I don't necessarily think there was chemistry between us.
03:24I know that there are plenty of men out there that would love a woman like her.
03:27But I think we would be better off as friends.
03:30Well, I enjoyed myself.
03:31I did too.
03:32It was very nice meeting you.
03:33Nice to meet you too.
03:34Thank you so much.
