Conozco a Justin desde hace cuatro años,
y es uno de mis mejores amigos
Justin es definitivamente un soltero,
Pero creo que sería un gran novio.
Sé que quiere calmarse.
Justin quiere que alguien encuentre su fuego
pero hay algún tipo de confusión interna
con quien está luchando, con quién se supone que debe estar
versus con quién quiere estar.
♪ Así que aquí vamos ... ♪
Creo que hay una mujer por ahí para Justin.
Siento que no ha conocido a su pareja.
Quiero que Justin encuentre el amor y su lugar en este mundo.
♪ Todos en las sombras que salen hoy ♪
♪ Todos en las sombras saliendo Aquí vamos ... ♪
Justin es una de las personas más reales que conozco,
pero él va para las chicas de fiesta.
Solo necesita encontrar una mujer increíblemente sincera.
Como, Justin es un hombre increíblemente sincero.
♪ Aquí vamos ♪
¡Hola!
Barbara. - Justin?
- ¿Cómo estás? - Oh Dios. ¿Cómo estás?
Encantada de conocerte.
- Mucho gusto. - Te ves tan bonita.
Muchas gracias.
- ¿Es esta tu primera cita a ciegas? - Es mi primera cita a ciegas. Nunca he--
Esperaba que pudieras guiarme a través de esto.
¡Oh Dios mío! Si. No tengo idea de a dónde vamos.
Si no, ambos podemos decir que esta es nuestra primera cita a ciegas,
y luego comenzó en la calle Bourbon.
- ¡Perfecto! - Como realmente...
No creo que puedas ir más alto que eso,
o más extremo que eso, para ser honesto contigo.
Oh, esto es lindo
Es una buena vibra. Gracias.
¿Entonces, cómo estás hoy?
- Bendito y muy favorecido. - ¿Si?
¿Cómo estás?
Estoy super emocionado
Quiero decir, las citas a ciegas son, como, una de esas cosas que ...
simplemente, las cosas pueden ir muy bien o muy mal.
- No. si. - Pero sí,
primeras impresiones, quiero decir ... ¿Sabes lo que digo?
Soy justin
- ¿Abrazos? Bueno. Hola. - Voy por abrazos.
- Bueno. - Mis palmas se ponen demasiado sudorosas
en estas primeras fechas.
- Mis axilas están sudando en este momento. - De acuerdo, genial. Célebre.
Está goteando como ...
Oh. ¿Así que de dónde eres?
- Nací y crecí aquí. - ¡Yo también!
Probablemente estoy cien por ciento seguro de que tenemos amigos comunes.
- Estoy bastante seguro de que tenemos amigos en común-- Sin embargo, eres filipino, ¿verdad?
- No no soy. ¿Me veo filipino? - No, solo te estoy tomando el pelo.
- ¿Eres filipino? - Soy filipino.
¿Por qué me das la mano? Me gusta...
- No, porque estás haciendo esto. - Sacaste la mano.
- Lo siento. Todo bien. - Lo siento. Soy malo en las citas.
Necesito un trago de tequila ... y también conseguiré un cóctel.
- ¡Vamonos! - ¿Eso es demasiado para una primera cita?
No, no, no, no, no.
No sé coquetear. Esa es mi forma de coquetear.
"Hey, um, tomemos un tiro".
Usted de aquí?
No soy. Soy de, como un nómada.
- Adelante. - UNA...
nacido en Ohio, se mudó a San Antonio, Texas,
y se mudó a Houston, fue a la escuela en Alabama.
- Voy a escribir esto. - ¿Yo se, verdad?
¿Tus padres están en Chalmette?
Si.
Hicieron todo el huracán Katrina y se quedaron ...
- Bueno. - ... y reconstruyeron,
y están en la misma casa
Porque me pasó durante mi último año en la escuela secundaria.
- Oh wow. ¿A dónde fueron ustedes? - Asi como...
Entonces, fuimos a Houston.
Entonces, fui de esta escuela que tenía unos 500 estudiantes
a una escuela que tenía, como, 5,000 niños.
Esa escuela de Houston fue bastante difícil.
El primer día, estaba comiendo en una mesa de almuerzo como esta,
y de repente, como
alguien salta sobre la mesa, y esta pelea entre Nueva Orleans
y Houston sucedió.
Yo estaba como, ¿sabes qué?
- No. - ¡Tomaré el huracán!
- Si. - Eso es ... Eso es ... loco!
Si.
- ¿Qué es lo que haces aquí abajo? - Soy cantante.
¡Oh!
Realmente no tengo residencia en ningún lado.
Realmente realizo mis propios shows, y viajo y hago otros shows.
- ¡Eso es increíble! - Si.
Siempre quise ser cantante.
¿Siempre quisiste cantar?
Si. Aunque nunca podría cantar.
Pero karaoke, estoy genial. Karaoke estoy bien.
- Quizás tengamos que intentarlo. - Quizás después de esto ...
Soy la fotógrafa de una empresa de gafas en Nueva Orleans.
- ¡Agradable! - ¿Entonces, Qué haces?
Lo principal que hago, mis nueve a cinco, es trabajar en finanzas.
Es muy divertido porque comenzaré diciendo:
"Sí, soy contable". Y son como,
"Oh, ¿entonces eres genial con las matemáticas?" Y yo digo, "¡No!"
Y lo siguiente es, como, "Pero eres asiático".
Y voy a decir, "También una decepción".
A mi madre le encantaría que yo fuera contable.
- A cualquiera le encantaría eso. - Mi mamá estaba super feliz
que entré en contabilidad
Ahora, es como, "Oh, Justin, podrías haber sido médico.
¿Por qué no hiciste eso?
Estoy como, "¡Me dijiste que hiciera esto!
¡Esta fue tu idea! "
Entonces, como en Nueva Orleans, ¿cuáles son tus cosas favoritas para hacer?
Other than drink?
Yeah, I mean, 'cause I can go on and on about where I drink, right?
I'm really not here that often on the weekends.
- I've been, like, full of weddings. - Too many weddings?
- Yeah! - You have too many friends.
- I know! - Weddings are probably
- my favorite things to go to. - I know.
- Oh, amazing! - Here you go.
Yes.
- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, let's get it.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
To first blind dates.
So, what kind of music do you dance to?
Uh, hip-hop.
- Hip-hop? Okay, cool. - Yeah.
So are you kinda, like, the break dancing...
Or are you just kinda, like, the smooth beat vibe?
I mean I feel like I can get into the smooth vibe...
- Or are you, like... - ...but I can also go into, like... ayyy.
- Okay! - Yeah.
No, we gonna stop that right here.
This is-- We have had one drink and we're not starting that!
No more, or you'll be carrying me home. Period.
Okay.
Every time that I get semi drunk, I'm, like...
- Let's go get a tattoo. - I'm like, "Let's go get a tattoo."
Then my mom is like, "Justin, I'm going to cut your skin off
- if you do that." - Aw.
- Let me ask you, how old are you? - I'm 31.
That sounds about right, 'cause Asians don't raisin.
- Guess my age. - Twenty...
- Twenty? - ...eight?
- Twenty eight? - Thirty?
Oh, I know you did not just-- Thirty! Really?
Twenty...
All right, this date needs to end right now.
I'm sorry.
You can see your way out!
- You can see your way out! - No.
If I had to guess, I'd probably say, like, 25.
- Twenty six, actually. - Oh!
You know you're lying. You said 20 or 30 at first.
Pardon my interruption. Our table is ready.
- Oh, amazing. - You wanna follow me.
- Sure. - Cool.
I'll get your chair.
- Thank you. - After you.
Here's a couple of menus.
Thank you.
Are we good with the drinks for now?
Let's do another shot of tequila.
- Yep. Yeah. - All right, yeah.
I kinda wanna switch to tequila now that you've been drinking tequila.
All right, so you're ready to party.
I might get the chicken liver mousse.
- I've never had liver... - Chicken liver mousse.
...but I'm down to try it tonight.
Let's do it.
See, that's how first dates go great.
Did you grow up lower middle class?
I feel like I grew up mid to lower middle class.
I don't know.
- So, growing up... - It's always really vague.
...it was more like a community-type thing where we grew up,
and we kinda, like, stayed in our little circle.
I could have been an upper-class person,
but, like, according to people outside of the city,
I was probably broke.
- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.
I went to a lot of private schools, which I was very thankful for,
but we were, like, Payless and a hand-me-down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was, like, why does everyone have this Micheal Kors bag...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
...and this pink Razr phone?
- Why can't I have a pink Razr phone? - Razr phone!
So, as far as photography goes,
are there certain things that you wanna photograph?
I'm really into outside, natural lighting.
- Yeah. - Really flowy, motion blur...
I'm, like, Photoshop queen.
- I can do anything. - Really?
'Cause I've always wanted to go to England.
I'll just take a picture of you out here in New Orleans,
- and Photoshop you in London. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Put me in front of Buckingham Palace. - That's it.
- Next to the Queen. - Okay, next Instagram post!
Something I do to kill time, I don't know if you are familiar with this
but I like to do mukbangs.
It's, like, you have a shitload of food in front of you,
and you record yourself eating,
but you're doing it live, and people are watching you.
For example, I'll have a plate, like, of 50 chicken wings,
and I'll just start eating chicken wings.
That's amazing.
Have you ever done that hot ramen challenge?
- The two times spicy? - Yes, I did that on my stream before.
I did that on my stream.
- How did you deal with that? - It was bad. My asshole was burning.
Oh, no, baby! Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
That looks beautiful.
It does. It's very colorful.
- All right, so I'm gonna let you try this. - I'm gonna pray.
- Oh. All right, are you ready? - Oh, you pray?
- No. - You trying to pray together?
Ain't nothing gonna make my mama happier than if we do this.
So, go ahead. Yeah.
Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this food that we have received.
Thank you for the nourishment. Thank you for this opportunity.
And bless this food. In Jesus's name, amen.
- I feel it, and appreciate that. - You feel it.
- Well, bon appétit. Let's try this food. - Yeah, for sure.
- Ooh! - Go ahead.
Beau, beau.
It's good. It's flavorful, just like me.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Let me take a sip of my water. - It's deep and flavorful, just like me.
- I can agree with that. - Thank you.
No, like, I appreciate when a woman can describe herself,
or describe what she's feeling, and how she deals with things.
- I appreciate that. - Aw. Aw!
- Thank you, I appreciate you too. - Don't cry. Don't cry.
You, pretty much being from here,
- how is your dating life in New Orleans? - Dating life.
Oh, man, I have tried, I've really tried.
I've given it a valiant effort.
Where are these guys that I align with in New Orleans?
Where are they? I'm really struggling to find them.
- Here. - I'm, like, where are they?
Yeah, really, right there.
I dated a guy for five years, and then in January,
- I found out that he was cheating on me. - Mmm.
The universe was, like, "He doesn't pay all of his bills,"
and I was, "That's okay, we're gonna figure it out."
The universe kept putting shit in front of me and I was, like,
"That's fine, we're gonna figure it out."
And then, that happened, and I was,
"Okay, we're not going to figure that out."
I'm gonna put this baseball bat down, and I'm gonna tap out of this game.
We're gonna regroup.
- That's wild. - It was wild.
I've been single for two and a half years now.
Two and a half years?
I was in a relationship for six years.
- Wow. - From the time I was 21.
We had this vision of, like, getting married and having kids,
and then by year six, I was just like, "I don't know if I can do this."
- That's so tough. - Yeah.
- I can't even imagine after six years. - Yeah, yeah.
Do your parents pressure you in a sense of,
"Oh, when are you gonna get married?"
You know, that type of thing?
You know, It's funny, that six-year relationship,
like, while that was going on,
my mom was, like, one of those people that was, like,
"Justin, you need to save your money."
Your Filipino mom accent!
"Save your money, Justin.
You don't need to get married yet," like, type deal.
- Really? Did she not like your girlfriend? - I was like, "You don't need to rush."
No, she-- She loved. She loved, loved her.
But I think that as far as Filipinos go, I think it's more of a financial thing.
I mean, 'cause generally Asian people, they care more of financial status
- before happiness. - Mm-hmm.
And when we broke up... she was just, like,
"I thought you all were going to get married, Justin."
She was so mad.
So, so mad.
Are you like, a Tinder, like, Bumble...
- So, I tried Bumble. - ...dater? Mm-hmm.
I don't always want to be the first one to say something. I'm like, "Oh, God.
Now I have to say something." I don't ever--
You have to empathize with...
- Yeah... - ...the guys now, right?
- Yeah. - Whatever! I guess. I guess.
- So, what would your line be? - So, then I--
Whatever comes up in my brain at that moment, you know?
- I'm just trying to learn the game. - I didn't have--
- There-- There is no game. - Good!
It's just, whatever comes up in Aunt Bowie's head
is what's coming out of her mouth?
- That's amazing. - I can just...
Do you get Asian flush?
- No. - Maybe it's because you're so dark.
'Cause you're so tan. Being tan is good. I wish I was tan.
Not in the Asian community. If you're tan, you're broke.
Yes, tan skin is looked down upon.
But over here, I think tan skin is beautiful.
- It is. For me-- - Dark is beautiful.
But then Filipinos naturally have darker skin, so...
My mom is like, super... M Trng Ngi.
How do you know that word?
- I, like, dabble in-- - Vietnamese.
You must have a lot of Vietnamese friends.
I do.
- I know a couple of words in Filipino. - Go ahead.
- Mahal kita. - Mahal kita.
No, we're not gonna do that on our first date, girl.
I love to dance.
- I know, it's so fun! - It is.
So at a wedding, are you like the--
- The dancer? - You are?
Oh, hell, yes.
- See what I'm saying? - Bring the dance party together.
- We'll get along just fine. - Yeah.
That's why I don't like when there's too many activities to do at the wedding.
You know, like, the photo booth-- blah. Take that out.
- DJ! - Pay--
Oh, see, I'm a band girl.
I've always envisioned, like, a brass band.
And then, finish it up with the DJ when everybody's drunk, type deal.
Absolutely.
- That's, like, in my head-- - That's a good way to do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're down, I'm down to go grab more drinks if you're up for it?
- Yeah, let's go. - Yeah? All right. Cool.
- Kill this? Kill it? - Okay.
- All right, you ready? - Yeah.
After you.
Thank you.
Let's go!
Are you a Leo?
- So, I am a Leo. - Okay.
- What are you? - I'm a Scorpio.
And what is the significance of that?
I would say that Scorpios are usually intellectual.
We definitely love people to be...
- Thank you. - Yeah.
...honest with us.
We're very sexy, we're mysterious.
So, I feel like...
a hundred percent of our conversation, I feel like you've confirmed with you
- being a Scorpio then, right? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A hundred percent. So-- So, for me...
I have... uh, always been told that I am, like, that attention person.
Yeah, you like compliments a lot.
Do I?
- Do I-- Do I ask for them? - Hmm.
I don't know if I have, like, a physical type.
Like, I dated skinny band boys for, like, a long time.
You know, with the bang and everything?
- Yeah. - Exactly.
And then, like, I dated-- The five-year relationship
was with this broad, tall, blond farmer boy.
Ooh! What about the short, dark, Asian guys?
- I've gone on dates with them, for sure. - Yeah...
- Nothing long term, but I'm into it. - Yeah.
Have you ever, like, dabbled in the Asian, uh, cultures?
Is that something that you've stepped into?
- Of course. Yeah. - Yeah?
- Of course. - Really?
- Yes. - Oh, wow!
- I've always dated introverts. - Yeah.
- I've never been with an extrovert. - Why's that?
- I really don't know what it is. - Do you like being in command
- as far as relationships goes? - I would say...
I mean, it depends on if we're talking
- in-bed wise submissive-- - Ooh!
Go ahead! Go ahead! We can elaborate.
That'd be-- That'd be another time.
So, what next though?
Would you be down to grab drinks after this?
Usually, I would, but it's a weeknight, and it's getting a little late.
- I think I should probably head out. - Understandable.
- I think I should catch a Lyft. - You're gonna catch a Lyft?
- Yeah. - Okay.
Well, before you leave, would you mind if I got your number?
- Yeah? You want my number? - Yeah. A hundred percent. Go ahead.
Cool. I'm calling you just to make sure that this is--
- My number? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those people--
I did that back in middle school.
- There you are. - I need confirmation.
No, but I appreciate you coming.
- It's been so nice. - So nice. Yeah.
- So nice meeting you. - Thank you so much.
- I appreciate you for coming down. - You too.
- I will talk to you soon. - We'll talk soon.
- Yeah, for sure. - Take care.
Yeah. See ya.
Oh...
- After you. - Oh.
It's fancy here.
And so pretty.
Zero to ten,
how do you rate this as a date?
I'd say it's ten.
The surprise that I had whenever I saw you was a hundred percent,
like genuinely, I was like, "Oh, thank you, God!"
- Oh, my Gosh! I'm blushing. - Uh, no, it was super--
I was very attracted to you.
- Thank you so much. - Girl!
I love how creative you are. Um...
and everything that you're trying to do with your photography and stuff like that.
- It's super attractive. - Thank you.
Usually, the first date I go on with someone,
they end up being my boyfriend for, like, four years.
I'm not saying you're gonna be my boyfriend. I don't wanna scare you,
but usually, that one date...
it's like, bam! Like, okay, we're in love now.
- Oh, Lord! - Yeah, we're together.
Mahal kita.
Mahal kita!
You exceed all types...
- Like, no, for real. - Oh, Justin.
As far as expectations go, you exceed all expectations.
From the hair, to the-- To the-- To the braces.
- to the dress. Yeah, one hundred percent.. - Oh, thank you. My little brace face.
- Thank you. - A hundred percent. It works for you.
Thank you.
How about you with Mardi Gras?
- Mardi Gras? - Go ahead.
Okay, to be honest, I'm not the biggest Mardi Gras fan.
I've never thrown beads.
I can't say I know what that's like.
We're about to throw some beads right now.
We're about to knock some things off the bucket list, baby.
- I don't want to hurt anybody. - Don't hit any cars.
- They're so painful. - To be honest with you,
I feel like somebody's going to get pelted.
So what we could do is we could do something like this.
Or we could do something like this.
- You're so cute. - Oh.
- Aw. - I'm about to have a heart attack.
Okay. All right, I can take that.
- You ready to go though? - Yeah.
- Yeah, let's go. - Yeah, let's go.
I've never been, like, out on a date in the French Quarter.
We're having new experiences.
- We learn new things every day. - How do you feel about the food?
- I think the food was good. - Yeah.
- Did you have fun? - Yeah.
You're a very playful person.
Yeah, I feel, like, most people say
that I don't take anything seriously.
"Justin, you need to be more serious."
Well, I don't know. Life's really short.
You don't have to take everything so seriously.
I feel maybe you took things seriously for a very long time...
- Mmm. - ...and now you're finally having fun.
Yeah.
Be honest, would you do this again?
Yeah, I mean, it was fun.
You have this personality that...
I've never encountered.
What personality is that?
I've never met somebody that's a hundred percent open as to...
"This is who I am from the get-go."
- Oh, my goodness! We're here? - This is your stop.
- It was amazing meeting you. For sure. - It was nice to meet you.
- Have a great night. - Same to you.
- See ya. - See ya. Have a good one.
I don't remember the last time I prayed,
but I've also never been more willing to pray in my life.
- If we're being real. - Oh.
I hope that no matter what happens,
that you get something from this encounter with me.
You just never know who God has for you.
I never thought I would go on a date
where I had no idea what the person was like or what they looked like,
and actually enjoyed it as much as I did.
No, I really enjoyed it. This has been so nice.
Do you plan on having a family or kids anytime soon?
I am not in any rush to have kids or get married.
It's definitely all about the right place and the right time.
I had a good time.
Did you?
- Honestly, I did. - I'm glad.
You're a fun person.
And it was better than what I thought it was going to be.
I'd love to get your number before we leave.
Yeah. Absolutely.
But yeah. No...
I'll call you and I appreciate you coming.
All right, text me.
- I will. Will do. - Give me a call.
- All right. Have a good night, bye. - Same to you.
- Bye. - Bye.
- I appreciate you. - Bye.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will let you out this side.
Okay. Thank you.
