Transcript
I agreed to go on 50 blind dates, and today, we're on date number six. But the second I wake up, this man had a whole PowerPoint of all the things he had planned for me today. He was like, no decisions today. I've got it all covered. First, he was like, I wanted to do something artsy with you, but I didn't want it to be basic. I figured you'd like this more. And at first, I didn't get it. But then he hands me a pair of sneakers and goes, we're designing them, silly. So I'm over here stressing out about my design. Right? Tier I look over at his and I see that he personalized his to represent our first night together. But mind you, I had best met this good, like, yesterday. Like, I don't even know if he's getting a second date. But as we left, Stefan said, so I've been thinking about what you said last night. So before we go anywhere else, there's one more stop we need to make. And girl, I'm not gonna lie. I don't even remember what I said. But then, he was like, I felt really bad that you had your childhood stripped away, and you were forced to grow up so fast. And I know I can't give you back what you worst. But I figured I could help you relive those moments. And girl, I have never felt so seen. And it was so cute because we ended up with matching Labooboo. So just as I was thinking, this might be the most thoughtful man I have ever met. I was not expecting what would happen next.
