0:05

Buenas buena miha is.

0:08

Do you believe that

0:11

knows best? Well? This is

0:13

date my first, where plays

0:17

matchmaker for our star

0:19

dater and three contestants

0:21

looking for Alita's firm stamp

0:24

of approval. I am

0:26

your host, Vico or this is joined

0:29

by our.

0:29

Lovely with

0:33

that Comstan.

0:42

I'm ready for all of you, cuties. Just bring

0:44

it, bring it, bring it.

0:46

Today's main dater is Maria.

0:50

Today is interesting because a

0:52

lot of people who've applied for your help

0:55

have not really had much luck on the dating

0:57

apps. You know, however, Marias

1:00

is that on the apps, they are on

1:02

my body. So we

1:04

have a case of abundance

1:06

here, Alita, we have abundance.

1:09

Have you ever had to choose between lovers?

1:11

No?

1:11

I just took them all at the same time.

1:13

Oh yeah, but as long as they

1:15

didn't know about each other.

1:17

I was.

1:19

I was young and foolish, I was gonna

1:21

say.

1:21

I was like, oh my goodness, I'm

1:23

the complete opposite. I don't

1:25

want to choose, and everybody knows, yes,

1:28

actually I choose them all. I'm

1:31

like, yes, please, everybody.

1:33

The more the merrier. But

1:36

here's the thing. For Maria.

1:38

Monogamy is the historical preference,

1:41

but they say they

1:43

can maybe be convinced to try more

1:45

openness. And it has been around

1:47

five years since they've had a serious relationship,

1:50

when they were deep into what they

1:52

call one of their big big loves, a

1:54

different kind of BBL. Maria

1:58

recently moved to Los Angeles and trying

2:00

to find another partner for

2:03

a new season of life.

2:05

I love that this this stunning

2:07

queen has tried all of the apps, but has

2:09

been a little bit overwhelmed by everyone

2:12

who's been knocking on their door.

2:14

So e that do

2:16

you think, Well, let's see

2:18

what we can do to get this beautiful

2:21

Maria of the apps. Welcome

2:24

Maria, come on into Alita.

2:27

How Hi everybody?

2:30

Oh my goodness, hello, Hello,

2:33

you came in and it's like boom radiance

2:36

that introduction.

2:38

I'm like, oh my gosh.

2:38

I hope it transcends everybody who's

2:41

listening. If they can't see, yes, they're gonna be like,

2:43

who's this girl who thinks she's so beautiful?

2:45

I know, listen, honestly,

2:48

you have like some beautiful like neon flower

2:51

blouse situation. We got some

2:53

platinum nails. I understand

2:56

why you're just off the charts on the

2:58

apps.

3:01

Let's get to know Maria Maria.

3:03

I'm interested on your beautiful name.

3:06

Where did that come from?

3:07

Well, there's a few stories

3:10

behind it, but mostly my grandmother

3:12

who pretty much raised me when I was little.

3:14

Her name is Maria, and she

3:17

passed, So this is a name that I honor

3:19

her in. You know, I'm born

3:21

Christopher, and my chosen

3:24

name now that I go through when I perform

3:26

and do things like that, is Maria.

3:28

Maria then Cartier.

3:29

Yes, were you close to you're Alida?

3:32

Oh my god, yes, we were so close.

3:35

When I was little, my mom was going

3:37

through the academy.

3:39

She's an officer, but she was an officer.

3:40

She retired and so I was pretty

3:43

much raised with my grandma, so I spent

3:45

most of my time with her. So when she passed,

3:47

I was about like maybe seven, So I tooked

3:50

that pretty hard because I was always

3:52

being with her and I was attached with her literally

3:55

by the hip. If you saw her, you saw me. My

3:57

mom says, I get my fire from her.

4:00

I love that. I love that you

4:02

said that. It's been five years since your last like

4:04

big, big love right, Yes, a long

4:07

time?

4:07

How long with did that.

4:08

Relationship last That was

4:10

a four year relationship. We

4:12

lived together and we were walking through

4:14

the adoption process as

4:17

well. But it was the huge, huge

4:19

thing when it was the decision to separate

4:22

and go our separate ways. But me and him have an

4:24

amazing friendship and relationships

4:27

still.

4:28

That's beautiful.

4:29

What are the things that you've learned from that past relationship?

4:32

I learned how much I really do love

4:34

and a door, the romance that comes

4:37

with the everyday stuff

4:39

like you know, you get home and those

4:41

little small things that your partner does for

4:43

you that goes a long way, and

4:45

how much I like that.

4:47

And what I learned that I don't

4:49

want.

4:50

I need someone who is

4:53

secure and super supportive.

4:55

I get a lot of attention in rooms that I am.

4:57

I'm a performer, I'm boisterous, loud.

5:00

You know, there's a lot of eyes on me, and

5:03

I need someone secure in that.

5:05

You know, Okay, people are talking

5:07

to her, taking pictures, hugging this.

5:09

App but you know I know she's mine, or I

5:11

know we're together, or we go home together.

5:13

Someone who's secure and confident in that way.

5:16

And then another thing I learned, the big

5:18

takeaway from that was how important

5:20

like having financial discussions

5:23

are in adult dating. You

5:25

know, I know taboo. That's not something

5:27

you want to talk about on the first date.

5:29

But it is second when it's Okay,

5:33

you're new to La correct.

5:35

Yes, yes, I've been here six months.

5:37

Wow, Oh

5:39

my god, welcome to La La Land.

5:43

Well what is it that you find different about

5:45

La in the dating life?

5:47

I don't know why, but I just feel like people are a lot

5:49

more accepting here and embracing.

5:52

And it's weird to say that because as a New Yorker

5:54

it's like the melting pot everything goes. But like

5:57

just from an identity perspective, because

6:00

I do consider myself gens are not unconforming

6:03

and I used all pronouns,

6:05

and you know, it's not every day that I'm

6:07

fem presenting. So I have

6:09

my days where I'm maybe more masculine

6:11

presenting or things like that. And

6:13

so I'm just finding that here I don't

6:16

have to explain so much what it is. People

6:18

are just like go with the flow, whereas I felt in New

6:20

York and in my past, my whole life,

6:22

I'm constantly having to explain

6:25

why I woke up with a beard tomorrow

6:28

and why last night, you know, I was

6:30

at the Beyonce the Council looking glamorous.

6:32

Well, in the name of all the LA listeners,

6:34

thank you very much. That is something

6:37

very nice to be said about our LA

6:39

peeps. I want to know a little bit more

6:41

fun facts about your life. How did you get

6:43

into the business that you are in. What

6:46

made you who you are?

6:48

I was very much a person who was on

6:50

the straight and narrow. I went

6:52

to college in three years, I got my

6:54

degree and went straight into work through

6:56

my internship and just was working

6:58

adult like corporate retail life

7:01

and just straight at it.

7:03

So before twenty five years old, I

7:05

was just living this life of like not

7:08

a twenty year old person, you know what I

7:10

mean. Like I had the four oh one K

7:12

and I had a retirement plan going

7:15

and a salary and this and that, and it was just

7:17

like you're painted the picture that that's

7:19

the dream and that's what you're supposed to go after.

7:21

But then you realize in your early twenties

7:24

and you haven't done none of the early twenty

7:26

shit, you know what I mean, It's like, what is

7:28

going on? So I'm living this straight in our life

7:30

and I think I was just sitting at my desk one day

7:33

realizing this is not what I want to be doing.

7:36

I'm a creative. I went to art school,

7:38

so it's like I want to be doing my thing.

7:40

And the only thing that was like a creative

7:42

outlet for me was doing drag and

7:44

performing and creating and acting

7:47

and doing things like that. So I just started

7:49

kind of just jumping in and pursuing it.

7:52

And I had been doing drags

7:54

since like twenty eleven or

7:56

something like that. I started in college, so

7:59

I knew that that was a passion for me, but it was

8:01

like something that I buried deep, and I

8:03

never looked at it as like something

8:05

that could be a profession or make me

8:07

money or pay the bills. And now

8:09

I'm happy because Maria pays the bill, and

8:13

I say, oh my god, how cool. I never thought that I

8:15

could just work for myself and make

8:17

money off of my own personality and

8:19

who I am and my talents. I was

8:21

so straight and narrow. You got to go work somewhere

8:23

fifty hours a week, now, right.

8:25

I was going to mention something in regards to that. There

8:28

was nothing wrong with that either.

8:29

Yeah, yeah, nothing wrong because.

8:31

You knew exactly where you were going. You were preparing

8:33

yourself and it's very true that no matter how

8:35

young we are, we need to be prepared

8:37

for the day in which you are a Wilita's age,

8:39

because hell, life moves quick.

8:42

Amen, And it set me up to understand

8:44

money, understand bills, understand

8:47

all of that.

8:48

And more power to you in the fact

8:50

that you return to your creative world

8:53

and are doing exactly what you love the

8:55

right way.

8:56

But I want to ask you.

8:57

You say that you lost your Awlita when

8:59

you were young, but she's always around

9:02

you. So what would

9:04

she think of your life right now?

9:06

And what would she tell a dating

9:08

possibility about what makes you

9:11

such a great catch?

9:12

That's so interesting. I think she will

9:14

be blown away by who I became.

9:17

She was a very big queer advocate.

9:19

She used to work and cook food at like

9:21

the LGBT centers.

9:23

And I would go with her and things

9:25

like that.

9:25

She would help a lot of like people battling

9:27

HIV and AIDS and things like that. So

9:30

that was something she was passionate about that I

9:32

didn't realize until an adult that

9:34

that's what she was doing because I witnessed all of this and her

9:36

doing it as a kid, and so I realized.

9:39

I think she would just be.

9:40

So proud and astonished by just why

9:42

I become but the advice that

9:44

maybe she would give me.

9:46

He planted a seed because I Willitas

9:48

know they really do. You are

9:51

so beautiful inside and out.

9:53

I love you. You're gorgeous, gorgeous.

9:55

We will definitely get you off

9:57

the apps and on a date.

9:59

This, this is the goal. We are so happening.

10:02

You have to know it's happening.

10:05

I'm happy to be at a place where I can stay

10:07

out loud. I am welcoming romance

10:09

into my life.

10:10

Oh I love that. I love

10:12

that.

10:13

Thank you for being here with

10:15

us, Maria. Honestly, you can

10:17

throw away your phone. Me and Amalita,

10:19

we got you. We got you handling it. So

10:22

Aalita is going to have to

10:24

find someone that has

10:27

a heart as big as yours, who

10:29

can handle all of this glam

10:31

with grace and fabulousness.

10:34

And I had to say, there was a moment when

10:36

I got really choked up, and

10:38

that's because Yi Aelita is here with us.

10:42

She is so ready and so very

10:44

proud of you. Awelita doesn't need

10:46

to stick together. We are the salt

10:49

of the earth. We bring

10:51

with us a little bit of the wisdom from the past

10:53

that we're trying to put together with

10:55

the presence so that we can have

10:58

a more accepting, more loving world. And

11:01

she's here with you, She's in your heart, she is

11:03

you.

11:04

Yes, thank you so

11:07

sweet mom.

11:08

After this, tell

11:11

you that I cried because I did. Look I

11:13

get the CLEENX.

11:15

All right, Mandia, thank you so much.

11:19

We'll be back after the break. Welcome

11:25

back today, Maya Wili the first.

11:29

Well, now that we've had the chance to get

11:31

to know Maria, we are

11:33

going to send Awelita off

11:35

on her three speed dates

11:37

for some GAFA

11:40

with each contestant. So

11:43

shall we bring in the first

11:45

one.

11:46

Yes, let's do this.

11:47

Ah right, Ailita,

11:53

Hey, Hello,

11:55

Hello. Before

11:58

I hand you over to our give

12:01

us a little intro to yourself.

12:03

All right. I am Billy Horren from Los

12:06

Angeles.

12:08

Born in Ohio, actually

12:11

thirty five years old, and I

12:13

do branding and marketing for

12:16

fashion companies.

12:17

Gorgeous.

12:18

I love that.

12:18

Well, thank you for that.

12:20

And I'm fun, all right. I

12:22

like that fun fact is that I'm fun, So

12:24

I'll add that on there.

12:26

That's what I wanted to hear. Well,

12:28

welcome to date.

12:29

Mayamilita first, where you have the

12:31

chance to walk away with the beautiful

12:34

main data and let

12:36

me ask you a couple of questions.

12:37

Let me talk about your dating life. What is

12:39

that? Like, Oh, Graham, it's pretty

12:42

wild.

12:43

Explain

12:47

you know those like crazy dating stories

12:49

that you go on a date and you're like, I can't believe this

12:51

happens.

12:53

This always happens to me.

12:56

Give us an example, Give us

12:58

an example.

12:58

Well, here we go.

13:01

Recently, in the last months, I went on a

13:03

blind date and everything

13:05

was going well until the

13:08

big question dropped is like, what's your Instagram?

13:11

So you give him the Instagram and

13:15

he gives.

13:15

Me his and we finally have somebody

13:17

in comment, you know, a friend in comment? And he goes,

13:20

oh, how do you know this

13:22

guy? And I was like, oh,

13:25

we kind of like hooked up a

13:27

while back, you know. And he was going like.

13:29

Oh, well, how long ago? And

13:31

I was like, I don't know, like a

13:34

year or so ago. And I was like,

13:36

why how do you know him?

13:37

He's like, well, that's my ex

13:39

boyfriend and we were together at that time.

13:43

Okay, alrighty, next

13:46

date. So

13:50

what was your answer to that? How did you respond?

13:52

I mean, I was kind of like obviously shocked.

13:55

So I just said, well, I

13:57

guess practically we've slept together already.

14:01

And his response, I mean he thought

14:03

it was funny.

14:04

He thought it was funny.

14:04

Oh that was cool.

14:05

But again there was not a second date after that.

14:08

Yeah, I can see why. So

14:11

what are your red flags when

14:13

it comes to finding someone special?

14:16

And what are you looking for a

14:18

committed relationship?

14:19

You're looking for love.

14:21

I'm looking for love, the love

14:23

of my life.

14:24

You know, I've always known since I was a child

14:26

that there was one person there for me. So

14:29

it's kind of like when I go on dates when you realize,

14:31

like, Okay, they're nice, they're great, but do

14:34

you really feel that like spark that you found

14:36

your other half? And

14:39

if I don't, I can't really pursue that because

14:41

you know, it's kind of like you're lying to yourself. So

14:44

red flags for me, I guess for people who

14:46

are serial daters, people who

14:48

date one after another after

14:50

another after another, trying to find

14:53

something.

14:54

Maybe they don't know what they're looking for.

14:56

You made me cry, Yeah, because you

14:58

are looking for love and aren't well.

15:01

But that's where you're here.

15:02

So Awalita can help you now, in

15:04

looking for that special someone in

15:06

your life. What is the one quality

15:09

that you have to have in that relationship?

15:11

What is the number one?

15:13

They have to be in love with themselves in a sense,

15:15

they have to be secure with themselves, but they also

15:17

have to live life as an adventure. I'm

15:19

not very into like being a cookie cutter

15:22

by the book. Let's do this, Let's

15:24

be here, and then let's sit around and retire

15:26

together for the rest of our life. I want to like live

15:29

life as a fun adventure with that other person.

15:31

And sit on that rocking chair out in the porch and just

15:33

forget about everything else.

15:34

Just die on that rocky chair. Thank

15:39

you.

15:39

So sorry to interrupt, but we're gonna

15:41

send Alita to save her next

15:43

cafecito Billy.

15:46

Thank you so so very much. We'll

15:49

be back with contestant number two. Welcome

15:56

back to day, my an Alita. First, I

16:00

will ead that meet Juni.

16:04

Hi, Hello, Hello Juni.

16:07

Before I hand you over with a Wilita for a little

16:09

one on one, give us a little

16:11

intro to yourself.

16:13

So my name is Juni. I

16:15

am from Los Angeles, California. I

16:17

love to cook and I'm a big foodie.

16:20

So when it comes to cooking, I always

16:22

hold food to like such a high expectation,

16:25

and so every time I go to a Michelin Star restaurant,

16:27

I'm going to be that snooty person that's like this

16:30

is okay, or like this could have been done.

16:31

Different, not just the food, but the

16:33

whole experience.

16:35

The whole experience, of course, because anytime

16:37

someone comes to my house, I always make

16:39

sure that I am giving them the Michelin.

16:42

Star experience and the addresses.

16:47

Anytime, anytime, You're

16:50

welcome over, anytime.

16:52

Oh thank you, JUNI.

16:54

Well, I'm gonna go ahead and hand you over to a Wilita

16:56

for a little cafecito.

16:58

Aiita, take it away, Junia. Plea sure

17:00

meeting you. You are so cute.

17:03

Now are you on vacation in Italy right

17:06

now?

17:06

I am so. I came

17:08

with a group of friends to Italy.

17:11

We kind of have this thing where we go to

17:13

a different country every year, and so

17:16

last year we went to Brazil. This week

17:18

we're in Italy. Before that we were in Costa

17:20

Rica. So I am a big traveler as well. I

17:22

love to experience a new cultures, on new

17:25

cuisine, on new adventures

17:27

people. So that's why I'm

17:29

here.

17:30

That is awesome. I love it. I love it.

17:32

Well, let's talk a little bit about your dating life. You have all

17:34

these wonderful friends that you travel with. How

17:36

about your dating life? What is that about?

17:39

What's up? So?

17:42

When was the last time?

17:43

Then it was the last time you actually

17:46

were in a relationship.

17:47

Four years ago, pre pandemic And I was

17:49

in a relationship for ten years prior

17:52

to that.

17:52

My goodness, yes, ten beautiful

17:55

years.

17:56

Ten beautiful years. We have the dog, we have

17:58

the house, had the engagement

18:01

ring. I was ready to commit, but

18:03

then pandemic hit, and you know that's when like the

18:05

whole foundation crumbled, right, Like I think

18:07

that I opened up a lot of uglies for a lot of people.

18:10

Did Now I'm very single, moved

18:12

across the country, started a new life.

18:15

And I was going to ask you that did your life change

18:17

dramatically after that?

18:18

It did?

18:19

It?

18:19

Did?

18:20

I felt in a way that I was like I was

18:22

in a good place and then all

18:24

of that happened, and I was like, you know what, it's

18:27

time to choose me. It's time to do something

18:29

different. So I got a job in California,

18:31

and I said, you know what, I'm going to go

18:34

and they said when can you be here? And I said, give me two weeks.

18:36

So I packed up my car, packed up my dog, and

18:38

I just drove across the country. No furniture,

18:41

no nothing, Just like you know, I

18:43

wish to hope a dream and my dog

18:46

and I made it. And I've been in California

18:48

for you know, four years, and I love it.

18:50

I love everything about it.

18:51

Now, you tell us that your

18:54

dream is to have a farm full of

18:56

animals.

18:57

What appeals to you about that?

19:00

You know, despite living in Los Angeles,

19:02

the mecca of materialism,

19:05

the mecca of beautiful people, concentrating

19:08

people, you know, the traffic, the amount of people

19:10

that are constantly flocking to Los Angeles,

19:13

I'm like, I just want some peace and quiet.

19:15

I want to have like the farm.

19:18

I want to have no neighbors for miles. I

19:20

want my neighbors to be chickens, goats,

19:23

a cow. You know, I want to

19:25

be best friends with Betsy the cow. That's

19:27

what I.

19:28

Want, Lindo,

19:30

Helindo.

19:31

There is something to be said about the

19:33

piece that quietness

19:36

and solitude and animals bring to

19:38

your life. You know. That's why I think

19:40

in La a lot of us most of us have pets

19:42

because we do want that little connection, even

19:45

if it's just in a little cubicle that we live every

19:47

day. What is it that you are

19:49

looking for right now in a partner? Are

19:51

you looking for love? Are you looking for a long term

19:53

relationship?

19:54

I think I want that. I've been single

19:57

for so long that I

19:59

thought in Los Angeles, where there's

20:01

ten million people, I'd be like, there's

20:04

bound to be at least one person that likes me. And

20:07

I've been here for four years and

20:09

I've yet to find that one person that like

20:11

I connect with on a more intimate level.

20:13

I can connect with people on you know,

20:15

any kind of superficial thing, fashion,

20:18

movies, aesthetic, whatever

20:20

it is that you know, Californians love, but

20:23

nobody has been able to make a commitment.

20:25

And that's been the hard part. That I want somebody

20:28

that I can connect with, that I can like

20:30

really just like not have to think about

20:32

being more than myself.

20:34

You know.

20:35

I hear a lot of people say, oh,

20:37

yeah, it's Los Angeles, It's what California

20:40

is all about. But I think that as human

20:42

beings, we are different everywhere

20:44

we go, and it's just a matter of who

20:46

we surround ourselves with who

20:48

we open our hearts to and who is able

20:50

to do that for us. So I think

20:53

a Wilita is going to try and do that for you.

20:55

Let's see what happens. Okay, thank you, thank

20:58

you, Juny.

21:00

And that's the time we have for this. So

21:03

let's kick off your third

21:06

and final CAO. Let's

21:08

meet Florentino, Mida

21:12

Florentino. Before I send you over with the

21:14

little.

21:16

Give us like a little intro

21:18

to.

21:19

You, your name, where you're from? What

21:21

do you do a fun?

21:22

Facts

21:24

Florentino, the tropical experience,

21:28

Rico slashes Dominica Republic and

21:31

I am just a fabulous experience for

21:33

to have some fun.

21:34

Then really I love it.

21:36

Well, thank you so much, Farentino. I'm going to

21:38

hand you over for a little.

21:41

Alita. Trig it away, take it away.

21:43

How are you me florentinot

21:50

I have an espresso already right now. The

21:52

first thing that I read is that you say

21:55

that alitas are the true test.

21:57

What do you mean by that?

21:59

As the person that was race by

22:01

my grandma, they always

22:03

have great insight and their best

22:05

intentions for your in mind, so they're always

22:07

the toughest critics. So I feel like if

22:10

you can get thrown out Waalita, you're most

22:12

likely to get to the heart of the person you want.

22:14

Because if the a Walita approves like, it's

22:16

a yes for the family.

22:17

You know.

22:19

Okay, I'm crying again, all right,

22:21

Phoenix, Is your Awalita still

22:23

with us?

22:24

Yes, thankfully she is. She's about to

22:26

turn eighty, so I am the blessed

22:29

to have her around. That's the tough woman, the toughest

22:31

woman I know.

22:31

I love that woman.

22:32

Does she give you dating advice?

22:34

No?

22:35

Time has changed, orientations

22:38

have changed, mentalities are a little bit different.

22:40

So Mayawalita has like an

22:43

overall idea, but going to

22:45

deep, especially being a gay

22:47

man, it's a little harder getting

22:50

super deep into details

22:53

and emotions with an Aa. So

22:55

Maalita gives me like a broad

22:57

view of how you approach things,

22:59

you know, like my mom is really good at giving me

23:01

advice. I go to her to like the deeper questions,

23:04

you know.

23:05

But you would be surprised sometimes how I Willitas

23:07

have a better understanding than you think

23:10

we do because we love you so much.

23:12

They do. Maa actually surprised me with

23:15

a lot of love and acceptance throughout

23:17

the years and having difficult conversations.

23:20

So I definitely cherish

23:22

that woman's opinion deeply in it's

23:25

nice to see her evolve and accept

23:27

me more and embrace me more, and it's made

23:29

for us to have like even more special relationship through

23:31

out time.

23:32

It's the ultimate love. So, speaking

23:34

of love, are we looking for love in a relationship?

23:36

I'm always looking for love.

23:38

I love love, You love love?

23:40

So has that gotten you into trouble? Because sometimes

23:43

it's kind of hard to see all the red

23:45

flags if you're in love with love,

23:48

Yes.

23:49

That has gotten me answer trouble. That has got to

23:51

be out of trouble. I mean, I am

23:53

just a lover. I use a lot of that love

23:56

for inspiration. I feel like love

23:58

is one of the most powerful process and that

24:00

keeps me alive as a writer, as

24:02

a musician, love is like my

24:05

biggest inspiration in life. So I often

24:07

find myself pulling from love for different

24:10

sorts of inspiration.

24:11

You know, so you also are

24:13

a hard worker and you have a lot of hustles

24:15

going on out there.

24:16

What is that all about?

24:17

Well, living in la is not an ec city,

24:20

and being a freelance artist,

24:23

you need to stay on top

24:25

of your game all the time. So

24:28

I'm being very blessed to live

24:30

off of art here since simum to La.

24:32

So I'm constantly working in production,

24:35

using my body as my vessel

24:38

for modeling, acting and

24:40

doing all the things that I as the child thought

24:42

were a dream. And I'm here living

24:45

off of ghost little things. Honestly, I'm

24:48

having the best time. Hustling very hard because

24:50

it's tough out here. But if you're doing

24:52

what you love, I feel like no hustle is

24:54

hard enough.

24:55

No, and you have to.

24:56

Life has changed completely for all of us, no matter

24:59

how old we are. Life is a

25:01

hustle. And do you hustle

25:03

to find that right person?

25:04

Also, I feel like I have

25:07

a lot of open doors. I am on

25:09

the dating apps. I'm very open so like going

25:12

out and meeting people. I'm very open

25:14

to giving people chances. Like I said, I'm

25:16

an open door for love, and I love love and

25:18

I always welcome it in whichever

25:21

way it comes.

25:21

That you are also looking for commitment, yes.

25:24

And that is so hard to find here in La.

25:26

I guess I don't know the culture. Everything moves so quick,

25:28

everybody's looking so like the person that's gonna

25:31

give them their next moment or taking them

25:33

more and like finding a person that's willing to commit.

25:35

I feel like it's so hard.

25:38

I hate cutting off coup of seat those because

25:40

I always want to like keep hearing, But unfortunately

25:42

I have to stop this because we will be getting to know each

25:44

other more with games and challenges,

25:46

So do not worry. So,

25:49

thank you so so much for

25:51

Lentino. Ah

25:53

so aut eat that you just met

25:56

three lovely, gorgeous humans.

25:59

They all seem to have great, big hearts

26:01

and just exactly what Maria is looking

26:03

for.

26:03

So and do you think's something

26:06

little different to offer? Absolutely,

26:09

it's harder for Awilita, but very

26:12

interesting.

26:12

Do you think it's going to be possible to find someone?

26:15

Yeah?

26:15

I think so. We always do,

26:17

Veico.

26:18

All right, Maria, come on in for a hot

26:20

second and tell us what have been your

26:22

first impressions.

26:23

I'm freaking out because I

26:26

love like everyone's answers, and

26:29

I agree with you Awlita that they are

26:31

like bringing something different and

26:33

unique that all seems like

26:35

hard to like if I had to make a choice,

26:38

like, oh my gosh, they all bring something

26:40

else so different.

26:41

I liked all the contestants I thought their

26:43

answers.

26:44

Were great, and most of all, I love that it seems

26:46

like everybody's on the same page

26:48

about looking for something serious

26:51

currently, which like I love the

26:53

most and like full transparency

26:56

between us and whatever.

26:57

I'm just like really nervous right.

26:59

Now because I'm wondering

27:01

if these daters or contestants

27:03

are quote unquote like transamorous,

27:06

or if they're interested in someone who

27:08

does drag or looks so female

27:10

presenting, because I'm not presenting

27:13

as a boy today, but that does

27:15

exist, you know what I So, I just

27:17

don't want to seem like I'm like cat fishing

27:19

or doing like a bait and switch or something.

27:21

So that's just that's one thing that keeps

27:24

running through my mind.

27:24

Is all this guy's great, he's cool, Like I'm

27:27

lik in theses, but I wonder, like.

27:28

You know what I mean, don't question,

27:31

Okay.

27:32

Go with it, Okay, let us do all

27:34

the questions. Like I said,

27:36

they each bring something different and

27:38

special, but in the way that

27:40

they speak, they've opened their heart and their

27:42

mind to being in a format

27:45

like this, So we are accepting

27:47

of everything. This is a program

27:50

of inclusion. It is a program

27:52

dedicated to Ldbqtia

27:55

community. Everyone who

27:58

is looking for love is

28:00

here with us, so don't question

28:02

it, relax, enjoy the process,

28:05

and uh let's see what we can do.

28:07

Oh yeah, it's gonna be a good time. It's gonna be a

28:09

good time. Well
