| 0:00.0 | I had the best date of my life. I'm talking about rom-com type of date. The type of date that we all romanticize and dream of. That's the type of date that I just went on. I'm talking we were there close to five hours. I mean, we closed down the restaurant. The only reason we finally left was because the lights were turning off. We didn't even realize that the restaurant was empty by the time we looked around because we were so focused on each other. I mean, sparks were flying. I literally think I meant my soulmate.

| 1:38.6 | episode before I share more of my dating life. But so far, it's been going fun. Today I wanted to focus on Mr. Bookman and this date. |
| 1:48.8 | And I want to hear your thoughts. You know, before we get to the part where I turn into the Green Reaper of |
