00:01Hi.
00:02Good to see you.
00:03Good to see you.
00:04Take a seat.
00:05So you've come up here all the way to Harlem,
00:07at one of my favorite spots, Park 112,
00:09for your first blind date.
00:11How long have you been living in New York?
00:13About a year and a half now.
00:14You've been here a year and a half.
00:15So how is the dating going for you?
00:17It's non-existent, yeah.
00:19It's just been a rough ride.
00:21Since I moved to New York, I've had a few disaster dates.
00:24Alright, so a few of my blind date do's
00:26do have a good time,
00:28do be open,
00:30and most importantly,
00:31I need for you, Peyton,
00:32to shake off all of those bad dates you've had in New York.
00:34Alright.
00:35Let him go,
00:36so that when this great guy does show up tonight,
00:38you can enjoy him for who he is.
00:40Sounds great.
00:49Hi, nice to meet you.
00:50I'm Peyton.
00:51Ian?
00:52How are you?
00:53Nice to meet you.
00:54Oh, that's so sweet.
00:55My first impression of Ian is great.
00:57He's tall, dark, and handsome.
00:59I've never been given flowers before,
01:01so it was really a nice gesture.
01:03My first impression of Peyton is a little reserved.
01:07So what are you looking for?
01:09Like, fun, romance, like, deep intimacy?
01:12What are you looking for?
01:13I'm looking for all of it, you know?
01:15Someone to have fun with, someone who's also genuine.
01:18It was refreshing to find someone who wanted that connection
01:23at such an early age.
01:27I'm really career focused, but family is important to me.
01:30So definitely settling down, having kids is a priority.
01:35Otherwise, I wouldn't be going on dates like this, you know?
01:37I know I want to create legacy.
01:39I know that I have a lot to give, a lot of love to give,
01:42and a lot of things to teach.
01:45And so I need a place for that, I need a base for that,
01:49and I need a partner for that.
01:51The whole thing he said about creating a legacy
01:53is something that really resonated with me.
01:55Gotta quote my grandma, you know?
01:57But she's always telling me, like,
01:59you should continue, like, the family legacy,
02:01not just, you know, procreating and, like,
02:04making a name, but really, like, elevating our family
02:07and, like, working together as a family to move up in society.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Talking about legacy blew my mind.
02:14I mean, for us to connect on that was awesome.
02:21That's actually her, it's a French thing.
02:22Oh, good.
02:23And, yeah.
02:24Do you mind if you, like, kind of, you know, bless the food?
02:27Sorry?
02:28Oh, sure.
02:29Sure.
02:30I do come from a Christian family,
02:31so I think it's nice that he is very committed to his faith.
02:37I love sports.
02:39We're a huge football family,
02:41and we all went to Big Ten schools,
02:43so we have kind of this home rivalry.
02:46Who are you with?
02:47I went to Michigan, University of Michigan.
02:48Oh, you went to University of Michigan.
02:50Mmm.
02:51Oh, blue.
02:52Mmm.
02:53What do you have?
02:54Okay.
02:55Are you an Ohio State fan?
02:57No.
02:58Okay.
02:59For a second, I was worried that he was an Ohio State fan.
03:03I wouldn't dare say that in front of you right now.
03:05Okay.
03:06Let's get into that.
03:07It would have been a wrap like that.
03:08Shoot.
03:09Check.
03:10You guys got a new coach and everything.
03:11You'd be like, check.
03:12I'm smart enough to back away from certain conversations.
03:14But she loves sports?
03:16That is amazing.
03:17What's this toast going to be to?
03:19New experiences.
03:20New experiences.
03:21All right.
03:22Cheers.
03:23Cheers.
03:24Moving forward, I definitely think there's a chance of a second date.
03:26Ian seems like a great guy.
