Would you do a reality dating show?

Absolutely not.

Cool.

I like, you want to hear the truth.

A few years ago, someone asked me if I would ever go on The Bachelorette and I said yes.

Because I was like, a lot of my issues with dating is I just like there's too many options and that like really stresses me out.

And so just to have a producer say this is what you want and your goal is to win them over would take so much of the stress out of it.

Yeah.

And I do kind of still stand by that that I, like, truly hate dating because it freaks me up because there's too many options.

But I also think a lot of my anxiety about dating at the time that I answered that question was for me being queer and being closeted to myself.

So I was like, I just want someone to tell me what I should like because I can't figure it out.
