| 0:08.2 | Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. |
| 0:13.2 | So I have a little story to start today off with, and it's not really a story. |
| 0:16.6 | It's just a thing that I needed to mention. |
| 0:20.0 | I was going back through my Twitter. |
| 0:22.3 | Cough, cough, cough, follow me at Alana Zun. |
| 0:24.9 | And I found a tweet from last year. |
| 0:27.7 | And it said, my brother, like my brother said. |
| 0:31.0 | My brother. |
| 0:31.7 | Don't worry, there are plenty of fish in the sea. |
| 0:33.6 | Me. |
| 0:34.3 | Yeah, but I'm looking for a really fresh Toro. |
| 0:36.8 | And somebody replied, we're all just holding out for our fatty tuna. And it's like funny. It made me laugh. But I think it really goes to show it's like, yes, there are so many fish in the sea. There's always going to be people to date. And eventually, like, you will find your person. But like, think about the fact of like what you're actually looking |

| 1:17.0 | but they're not going to be the person that you're looking for the person that's going to fulfill you |
| 1:20.7 | that's going to make you like excited to wake up next to every day and stuff because like for me |
| 1:24.7 | I wasn't just looking for a boyfriend I'm like I was looking for my really fresh Toro and I think it's really just important and means a lot to like think about what you're really looking for and know that it will be worth it when you find it because it's not just going to be any other person. It's going to be your person. It's going to be the person that you've been looking for and that you've been waiting to find and the person that really fits with you. So keep that in mind as you continue your dating search, |
| 1:48.7 | as you go in and out of relationships and on and off of dating apps and on and off dates, |
| 1:53.3 | go find your really fresh Torah. Go find it. And if you don't eat fish, then go find your |
