So,

0:14

me and Charlie are going to be asking

0:16

the people of London about dating.

0:19

Ooh.

0:33

What is the worst dating experience that

0:36

you got you guys have have ever had in

0:38

your in your young lives?

0:41

The worst?

0:43

I can't think of one.

0:46

The worst? I don't You see, I don't

0:48

remember. If it's bad, you just don't

0:50

remember it, you know? But let me think.

0:53

We can't think of bad. How about just

0:54

not good? Um someone made me wait 2

0:58

hours for them to go somewhere. And then

1:00

after that, we were outside for the

1:01

whole entire time, and it was freezing

1:03

in New York, and I was just miserable

1:05

and hungry. And yeah, it was just all

1:10

it was all bad and cold.

1:12

And no food and no laughs.

1:15

No food and no laughs. That's a bad bad

1:17

date for Anaka. Yeah.

1:19

Have you had any bad ones?

1:20

I can't really think of one.

1:23

Sorry.

1:24

That's cool. That's good. I'm glad I'm

1:25

glad for you.

1:26

And uh at the end of the uh the dinner,

1:29

Mhm.

1:30

what do you expect? Who's paying?

1:32

Like if it's known it's like a known

1:34

date, then the guy should pay.

1:36

Yeah?

1:36

Yeah.

1:36

Okay.

1:37

I guess it depends on like who asked who

1:39

out.

1:40

Ah.

1:41

No.

1:41

So, do you sometimes ask guys out?

1:43

don't.

1:46

But there's like a who asked who out,

1:48

isn't it?

1:48

No, if I asked a guy out, I'd still want

1:51

them to pay.

1:51

Yeah, you would still want him to pay,

1:53

but then like you would still

1:54

I think it's like cute.

1:55

Definitely first date, but after that

1:57

it's different.

1:58

Right. What if they didn't? Would you go

1:59

on a second date?

2:01

Um like depends on how good the first

2:03

date was.

2:04

That wouldn't be like the main factor

2:06

though.

2:06

Right. Okay. Yeah, wouldn't determine

2:08

the second date. All right.

2:10

No.

2:10

What's is the

2:11

worst date or dating experience you have

2:15

ever had? Have you ever had any

2:17

uncomfortable dates?

2:19

Never experienced one.

2:20

You never?

2:21

I'm trying to think. I haven't really

2:22

gone out to like Like I've only had one

2:25

serious relationship.

2:27

So I haven't really

2:29

Nothing. No.

2:31

Yeah.

2:32

What was your first date with your in

2:34

your serious relationship?

2:38

Um

2:41

We just went out for drinks and then got

2:43

to know each other that way. Yeah.

2:46

That's it. Nothing really interesting.

2:49

But that's all you need. Just a drink

2:50

and a nice

2:51

Be able to sit down and talk and stuff.

2:57

Another question, Clifford. Um

2:59

what is the best date you ever had?

3:02

Best is for me are just random

3:05

um

3:06

things to do. Just go out, movies,

3:09

coffee, drinks, the typical thing.

3:12

If you do go on a first date,

3:15

what do you expect of If it's a dinner,

3:18

what do you expect of paying the bill?

3:20

Who pays?

3:22

Well, I mean, it's not really about who

3:24

pays. Like

3:25

I'm a student. I'm broke.

3:30

I'm a student. I'm broke.

3:32

So if the person was like working, then

3:35

it would be nice if they paid.

3:36

Okay.

3:37

So it's It's 2016. Like I'm about to

3:39

call a cab.

3:41

I'm also broke.

3:47

2016. Like I'm about to call a cab.

3:50

I'm we're broke.

3:53

I like to have equal rights, but I want

3:55

you to pay for my food because I'm a

3:56

student.

3:57

Yeah, that's basically it.

3:59

Who pays, the man

4:00

or the woman? How do you feel about

4:02

that? Do you think it should be even or

4:04

do you think the man should pay?

4:06

matter, but if you're a gentleman, I

4:07

think the man should pay for it.

4:10

What is your idea of a of a perfect

4:12

first date?

4:14

Good food, lots of laughs, and uh

4:18

Yeah, good food, lots of laughs.

4:22

So the So the food is very important?

4:24

Yes. Yes, the food is very important.

4:28

I think I would want to do more of an

4:29

activity rather than food cuz I feel

4:31

like food for me is like awkward. Like

4:33

you have to like eat really properly in

4:35

front of them.

4:39

For me is like awkward. Like you have to

4:41

like eat really properly in front of

4:43

them. And yeah, so I think I'd rather do

4:45

like go-karting or something like that

4:47

more.

4:48

More activities, I guess.

4:55

activities, I guess.

4:58

So Nikita and Charlie prefer a more

5:00

active date. Yeah? Okay. Interesting.

5:04

Nice. What about paying?

5:05

Personally, when I go on a date with a

5:07

lady, especially if it's a meal,

5:09

I feel a bit like, "Ooh, do I have to

5:12

pay for this? Do I have to pay for all

5:13

of this?" And a lot of men feel this

5:15

obligation. How do you feel about it?

5:19

I feel uh if you guys have a mutual

5:21

understanding about it, it doesn't

5:22

matter. If he pays or you guys separate

5:25

it, it doesn't matter.

5:27

So would you be offended if I if you

5:29

know, if the man said, "I'm Let's go

5:31

halves."

5:36

Let's go halves.

5:37

Well, if you asked me to go on a date,

5:39

then I would probably think and expect

5:41

that you would pay. But like if I was

5:43

like, "Oh, well, we should go to this

5:45

restaurant." Then I'll probably go half

5:46

or probably say I'll pay for it cuz it

5:49

was my suggestion, so.

5:52

Okay. So, it depends who asked who.

5:54

Okay. Fantastic. Thank you so much for

5:57

your time. And it's been a pleasure

5:58

speaking to you. I hope I come to New

6:00

York and see you one day.
