I had the worst dream I dreamt that I was all alone and that I was never ever going to fall in love
I'm Brittany. Jeff and Brittany. This is a Bloomington couple. Well, for now, until they move away.
And I was wondering, what is it that attracted you to Jeff, Brittany? To Seth. Seth. Seth. Actually,
when I met him, he had really short surfer hair. And he was really tan, because he had just worked as
a lifeguard all summer.
And I guess his personality was what initially attracted me. And his cuteness just added. Well, he looks
like a very sweet fellow. Was he muscular? Kind of. Not really. So he was a lifeguard and he was tan
and really cute looking.
And maybe that's all the information I need for this little piece right now. But is there anything that
you would like to add, Seth, about what kind of sparked it off between you two? Well, I fell in love
with Bray here because I loved her personality. And she was just really kind of crazy. She'll do something
on the spur of the moment very spontaneous, which I liked in the girl.
She had, like, everything that I wanted in my female companion here. But we just kind of sparked it
off when we first met, so I thought it was... I thought it's been a great relationship, and I've loved
being with her ever since, so... You guys are a very lovely couple, and I'm actually happy just looking
at you two being together. And is this your dog? Yes, this is Dylan. Dylan. Hello, Dylan.
Say hi. Hi. Cute dog, cute couple. Let's go find another one. Hello guys. What are your names? Mickey.
Evan. Mickey and Evan. And from what you told me so far, you guys used to date each other. Right. And
when did you meet?
High school. High school, actually. Her senior year, my junior year. What was it that attracted you
to each other? You have a really great sense of humor. No, we always got along. We ran around with the
same group of friends. So it was really easy. We had a lot of things in common. What did you like about him?
He's talented. Talented? Oh. Oh. Well, you know, that's always good. How long did you guys date each
other? Pretty much all of last year and then through the summer. Almost a year. Interesting. And you
decided recently to start seeing other people or? Kind of. Just not see one another. Really?
Oh, so there's a bit of a rift, I suppose. Oh, really? No? Not so much. It's kind of a weird situation.
Really? Do you see your lives maybe traveling in different directions, I guess? We don't have a common
major or anything. We're not really from the same cities. So there's always going to be some space.
But it shouldn't be too bad.
We're just traveling. Traveling. This town, I've heard it described as a transitional place where people
are coming and going. And you guys decided that you didn't start fighting with each other, right? You
didn't start hating or getting angry at each other. Yeah, for a while. Maybe a little bit. But that's
not really what drove you to decide
that maybe won't date each other anymore? Right. They just weren't really for each other right now.
Interesting. That's very, it sounds very mature, and you guys are comfortable with it, right? It took
a little while, but yeah. That's very nice.
It wasn't ugly at all, was it? For a while. Really? Absolutely. I mean, it's a breakup. It's almost
always going to be ugly. But I mean, like, you see we're here every week. Yeah. And you guys are friends.
And it's beautiful. I don't go so far as... Do you mind if I ask a slightly personal question? Depends.
Go for it. Do you still, like, see each other, like, romantically at all?
No, you don't you don't like kiss or make out or you don't You don't like kiss or make out or you don't
you don't you don't you don't you don't You don't like kiss or make out or hold hands or hug each other.
Do you hug each other? Yeah Hugging is friendly. I'm her dance partner too. So oh you dance together

I swing danced with a girl once and I never saw her again after that. That one time. Oh man. So this
was a really neat interview and I thank you very much. Your names again? Evan. Evan. Mickey. And Mickey.

Yes. Yes. What is his name? His name is Michael.

guys have been boyfriend and girlfriend for seven years? In November, it'll be seven. We knew each other
for seven years. That is some good love. Yes. Cool. It is great. What brought you two together?
Um, we both play alto saxophone and we're at a band concert and we were in different high schools and
we stood next to each other and he was breaking up with another girl at the time and he just like turned
to me and the first words he said were, I love you. And ever since, we've been together. I wish that
would happen to me. Yeah, it's very romantic. Wow.
That is really good. It was very nice to meet you, Wesley. I'm glad I got your story. Oh, thanks. That
was some good romance. What's your name? My name's Adam. Adam. Did you say that? I don't think so. Okay.
It was very rude of me. Sorry. Well, Michael's a very lucky guy. Oh, thank you. Good luck, you guys.
Hi. What's your name, miss? Paula. Paula. This is Paula. And where are you from? I'm from Brazil. Brazil.
I've never been to Brazil.
Yeah. Well, I have. So you have a boyfriend, Paula. Yes. Or Paula. Paula. That's right. You really like
this boyfriend? Yeah, I do. What attracted you to him in the first place? Can I tell you a story? Because
it's a really complicated story. If you want to, if you have time. OK.
Well, I was in Brazil in a concert, and I was walking around, and there were about five thousand people
there. And I was just walking around with a friend of mine, and I saw a guy in the distance that looked
to me really interesting.
He looked like a very interesting person, a very smart person. He was wearing a winter hag and everything.
Something struck you about him. Yeah, I don't know what it was. I think he looked like someone I knew
from before or something. So I looked at him, and he was just walking. He didn't look at me at first,
and I was just looking at him like this, you know.
He looked at me, and I still looked at him. I didn't stop. I was like, just look at him. And he still
looked at me. And he turned around and was going to go. I mean, he was far away. He turned around, and
he was going to go away. And I was going to tell my friend, oh, look at that guy. And when I looked,
he was like this, and he was like, are you looking at me? And I was like, yeah, I am.
He just, I went like this and he came and that's how we met. And I don't know, it just, his face just
looked, looked, looked, looked like. It clicked. Yeah. That sounds like a really cool moment. It was.
And how long have you been together? It's gonna be a year in May. That's pretty nice. So 10 months and
yeah. And so you met him in Brazil and is,
Is he still in Brazil? Yeah, he is. He's waiting for you to come home. Well, actually, he just got his
tourist visa, and he's going to come visit next month. Oh, exciting. He's buying his ticket right now.
I bet that will be a lot of fun. Yeah, I think so too. He'll be around here immediately. Cool. Maybe
I'll have a camera at that time. Yeah, follow up the story. We can get his version of the story. Yeah,
it was really cool. Sweet. Well, thank you, Paula. Thank you. So it was just...
He looked familiar, like maybe deja vu or out of a dream or something. Yeah, he really did. He kind
of looks like an actor, actually, in Brazil. I mean, I'm the only one who thinks this, though. Nobody
else thinks he looks like him. Yeah, he looked like a smart person. He actually is very smart, very
interesting, so. Cool. I was lucky. You sound very lucky. What a lucky man. OK, well.
I think that's the end of our interview, and I'll go find another nice young lady or couple to interview.
Thank you. Thank you. Hello, I've stopped this random girl in the hallway. What is your name? I'm Karina
Miller. Where are you from? Ooh, neat. Do you have a boyfriend? What's his name? James.
Can you tell me a little bit about what attracted you to him in the first place? Oh. So you spent a
lot of time with each other and just sort of grew on each other. Did it start off as like, did it start
off as seeming
Like out of a dream, like you saw him and were just attracted to him in the first place? Neat. So you
knew each other for a nice period of time and just grew closer and closer. Yeah. That's cool.
I like that. OK. Well, thank you very much. What was your name again? Karina. Karina. I'm Adam. Adam,
nice to meet you. Same to you. And I hope you have a nice day.
Hi, I'm here with a couple of people that I work with. This is, what's your name? Sean Graham. Sean
and his lovely, are you guys married? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Amy. His girlfriend, Amy. And how did
you two meet? I met her at Tessan's apartment. What was it that attracted you two together? Was there
a spark? A look in the eye?
Oh, no, I guess we just shared some in the same entrance. Yeah? And you guys started spending time with
each other and just grew on each other? Somewhat. And love developed. And here we are today. Is there
anything you might want to add about how you guys feel about each other? Light of your life?
We care about each other and we try to listen to one another and help if we can. A lovely couple and
I'm glad to know you guys and I hope you have a nice day. Hi. Hi. My name's Adam. What's your name?
I'm Evelyn. Evelyn? Yeah. That's pretty. How old are you? I'm 29. And where are you from? I'm from Bombay, India.
It's really far. Cool. That's very neat. Thank you. How do you like Bloomington, Indiana? It's very
pretty, and it's really fun to find your way around campus. I've had quite a lot of adventure.
Is that fun? Yeah. Pretty much, yeah. The people here are pretty nice sometimes. They are. They are.
Yeah, you can ask them for things. Yeah. Directions, mostly. I've had a nice time since I moved here.
Let's see, Evelyn, have you ever had a boyfriend? Yes, I have. What was his name? There was more than
one, so yeah. Do you have one now? No, not right now. So were they all Indian? One was Indian,
and two were, and one wasn't.
I don't know if I can say what their names are because they might watch this. Oh, right on. What attracted
you to these men? Are you more attracted to Indian men or any certain type of men? It doesn't really
have to do with race. It pretty much has to do with what they're about.
Intensity is an attractive quality and I know it really doesn't have to do with race at all. Does that
answer your question? Yes. Intensity as in a drive? A drive. Ambition? Ambition. Very, very attractive
qualities. They just get me. Cool. I've heard that a lot. So have you experienced any high levels of romance?
Do you think they gave you something to go do? Probably, yeah. Like beautiful walks on the beach, and
things like that? Where they surprised you, gave you really cool gifts? Yeah. Not all of them. Wrote
you poetry? Anybody ever write you a poem? No. No. No, they sang me songs and played for me. But no,
they gave me jewelry. Yeah. So they were musicians.
They were all musicians, this is true. And now I've sworn off musicians. Oh, no. Why? Well, one learns
that two people with the same kind of intensity and the same kind of goal, it's usually don't coexist
as beautifully as you might think they would. The chemistry could get a little volatile, maybe? Or?
Yeah. In the long run, it does. It does. There's no room for two divas. There's just no room for that.
So, yeah. I just figured.
I can't pretend to not be what I am, and so that's what I do. Cool. Well, I'm glad I got to ask you
about that and get that perspective from you. I'm kind of attracted to musicians myself. I haven't played
too much, and just artists in general. I like art and the ability to create. I think that's really cool.
That is cool.
Evelyn, thank you very much. Sure, not a problem. Nice meeting you, Adam. Yes, good luck on your journeys.
Thank you, thank you. You too. Good day. So, hello. Hi, hi. What are your names? Mary, Elena. Elena,
Mary and Elena. How old are you? 14. You're both 14 years old?
Have you ever fallen in love with anybody before? Yeah? Yeah. Well, I know young people have these crazy
hormones and they fall in love really easily, I think. I remember what it was like to be 14.
What do you expect it to be like when you fall in love? What do you want to do? Get married? What are
your expectations of falling in love? That's a hard one.
I don't know, having a best friend that's always there. A best friend that's always there? Yeah. When
do you expect you'll get married? Do you ever think about how old you want to be when you get married?
Yeah, like 24. 24?
Yeah. That's actually pretty funny, because I'm 24, and a lot of people I know that are my age don't
really want to get married. Really? Yeah, really. What age do you want to be married? Well, actually,
I'm not sure I want to be married anyway. I'm really independent. Yeah, it's hard to say. You know,
things change over the years, and it gets really crazy.
Have you ever, like, had a serious boyfriend? Not in terms of, like, life. Not really. Have you ever,
like, kissed boys? Yeah. Like, a lot? Do you do that a lot? Not a lot. Not a lot. I can't wait till
my mom sees this on TV. OK, well, then.
I think I probably got what I need out of this interview. Good thing. Thank you very much. What are
your names again? Mary and... Alaina. Alaina. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. I know. Hi. Hey.
What's your name? My name's Cherie. Cherie. This is Cherie. I know Cherie. I just asked that to be funny.
But do you have a boyfriend? No. No. What kind of things do you...
Are you attracted to men or women or whatever you're attracted to? What am I attracted to, Geller? Smart.
I'm attracted to smart people with smooth hookups. Smooth hookups. What's a smooth hookup?
Um, I don't really know. I just did. I really just said it to be cool. Is there like gang? Yep. I'm
attracted to gang members. I said game. Oh. Game. No, no. This is serious. Smart gang members. Generally
smart, funny, well-articulated people. Oh. Do you think I'm smart, funny, and like to do it?
Yes, you're smart, funny, and well articulated. Would you like to go out on a date sometime? Oh my god,
you're ridiculous. No, probably not. I already emailed you back on that idea. I don't know you well
enough to date you.
Oh, okay. Well, I mean, isn't that how you get to know people is by going out on dates with them? Yeah,
but I don't date anyone I work with. Oh. That ended poorly. Oh. Well, you broke my heart. So, interview's
over. I know, I'm joking. No, that's fine. I like you. I think you're really cool. Yeah, and I'm glad
you sat down with me
for a moment. No problem. Because I think this is really enlightening. It's enlightening? Yeah, not
only for me, obviously, and people who may be watching. All right. Thank you, Sri. No problem.
Hi. Hello. What's your name? Jennifer. Jennifer. How old are you? I am 20. 20. Do you have a boyfriend?
No, I do not. What do you like in men? Or do you like women also? I only prefer men.
I like, in a male, their service and for the Lord. I am a Christian, so I enjoy those sort of situations.
I like relationships that lead me in that direction, that encourage me and uplift me, so that we can
better help the world in those environments. That's very admirable. And I myself, I'm not Christian.
I'm not really religious at all, but I understand how that is.
That's really how I feel if I were to fall in love with somebody.
Like joining with somebody on a mission, right? Yes, a partnership, like a business partnership. Oh,
precisely. It's very like a business partnership. Financial responsibility is a big part of falling
in love with somebody and getting married and having a family. Yeah, I've actually recently fell in
love with someone, but not actually dating, because I've done a thing of singleness for like six months.
So I want to go through that, and then I will be ready
to possibly date this person. Are you a virgin? Yes. Wow. That's very admirable also. You must have
had the urge to have sex and stuff like that before, right? Oh, sure. I mean, every person. I'm just
like anyone else. I'm a sinner in myself. So that desire is obviously there. It's something that you
have to have control. And I think that through my relationship with Christ,
that I have been able to sustain my virginity. And keep yourself safe. Yes. From all sorts of dangers.
STDs. And not only that but falling in love with people that probably aren't the best. That are materialistic.
Sure. Yeah, that's my fear. What was your name again? Jennifer. Jennifer. Well, I can't really think
of anything else to ask you. Okay. So I think I must have gotten what I came looking for. Yeah. Well,
thank you very much. You're welcome.
I don't like audiences. Hi. Hi. What's your name? Megan. Megan, how old are you? 27. 27. Mm-hmm. Do
you have a boyfriend? No. No. Have you ever had a boyfriend? Yes. What was he like? Or better yet, what
are you attracted to? Do you have any idea or is it mostly? They have to be responsible. They have to
pay their bills.
They can't live under mommy and daddy's roof. They can't live by mommy and daddy paying their bills.
They have to be driven, motivated, passionate towards something. I don't care what it is, just anything.
Why is that? Because I am. And I don't like unmotivated people.
You know, because I have so many things I want to do and so many passions that I want to do. And if
I'm dating somebody who doesn't, then it doesn't work. It's boring to me. And I just look at them as
being lazy and irresponsible. Ah. That's very admirable, I believe.
Although, I guess, not qualities that you always find in people, even though, you know, you'd think
that people would strive for that sort of thing, but no. But no, you don't. No, it's actually very hard
to find. Because you think that a guy's like that, and you go after him for that, and then he's not.
And then he's in debt and can't pay his bills, and you're just like, seriously, it's not that hard to
pay your bills. Is that what happened to you? It's happened to me a couple times, yeah. Really? More
often than not.
So how old did you say you were? 27. How many boyfriends have you had? Four or five. Four or five. Did
you think that any of them were very, very serious? They were serious, yes. I never thought I was going
to marry any of them. No, never? No, and I told them that from the very beginning. I love you, but I'm
not going to marry you. Funny.
14 year old girl earlier, and I was like, so what do you expect love to be like? When do you think you'll
get married? Do you ever think about getting married? And she said, um, she said, yeah, I think maybe
around 24 or something. And I was like, okay, yeah, most 24 year old people don't want to get married.
It's weird, I mean, I'm glad because I don't want to get married for a long time, but, and our generation
seems to be putting it off more and more and more. So I appreciate that because in my lifestyle, all
the things that I want to do, I can't get married. Like I want to do the P square. I want to do all
these different things and I can't be married to do these things. And so it's nice to know that I'll
at least have some options by the time I want to get married, you know, instead of people getting married
at 22, 23, 24. Yeah. Um, I guess when,
When you live in a culture where women are more educated and it's becoming more and more like that,
you know, and they become more empowered, it's the standards for
love and relationships become higher. Which is frustrating because when you get to be 27, then you're
just like, am I ever going to find what I'm looking for? Have I put too much of a high standard on what
I want? You know what I mean? And you try to hold out hope that you're not going to have to bend on
those standards. But as you get older, you realize some things are, you can bend on those. But as far
as being responsible and driven, I won't bend on those. And I'd rather be alone than settle.
I really would. Wow. Well, um, what was your name again? Megan. Megan. Megan. Well, thank you so much
for the interview. Yeah, no problem. This is the best one that I've had so far. Really? Yeah,
I think so, the most enlightening. Oh, awesome. I'm sure you say that to everybody. No, no, no,
I'm serious. You want the tape? You're very beautiful. Oh, thanks. And I'm sure someday... I'm hoping. ...you
will find what you're looking for. I'm really hoping. I believe it. I have faith in you.
