Jessica Alves: This Is My First Blind Date As A Woman | DATING DIFFERENT

Jessica Alves is back and ready to go on her first blind date as a woman. Transgender woman Jessica has been living as a woman for 3 years and has found dating really difficult. Her previous dates have been really awkward because men didn't want to be seen with her in public and preferred to be hidden away in the corner at restaurants. Jessica hopes to meet a man who will accept her for who she is. Will her date Shojon live up to that expectation? Will the two hit it off?

Wow 😮 she was so rude to him! She thinks so highly of herself and just dismissed him.

And let’s be honest here she looks a complete mess. Her false lashes were hanging off.

[eo]

Jessica: There is something you need to know —-- I have 7 million followers.
Also Jessica: I want someone who dates me for me not my fame!

[WrecklessRinne]

Can you guys do the obvious right thing and get this guy a DECENT DATE with a good person? He's clearly one of the good ones, and I'm pretty sure the majority of us would love to see him again!

[kimzapantaify]

Shojon was not "trying" to impress Jessica. He was legitimately sincere with his actions but Jessica was more focused on herself. She ran the date like an interview.

[alp]

Being a woman is not about nails and hair and surgeries and fashion. Yes! I've said it! She was super rude

[simpleplanfan]

Shojun, you were perfect. Asked all the right questions, fun, and charming as hell. That chocolate wrapper joke was hilarious. Jessica is weird as hell and is not ready to date because of that horrible attitude. I wasn’t even in the room and I felt the tension radiating through the screen.

[mellymetanoia]

Wow. Jessica created such a negative atmosphere and then tried to make it seem like it was Shojon's fault for it. Isn't that called gaslighting? Don't narcissists love to gaslight?

[SarahLBanks]

This was painful to watch, she was so rude to him.

[SabaSaliba]

When you’re that fake, how on earth can you expect to have anything in your life that’s real. Her bitterness doesn’t only end in her procedures, it also in her personality, additionally this fails her.

[JimmiAlli]

I love it “I don’t date often, my last date was a week ago”.

[Brooke-qmzp]

This man clearly knew she was trans so there was absolutely no reason in him asking about it. He was trying his hardest to show he didn’t care about it honestly. He was too sweet. She seems ugly inside & out. The man she wants she is never going to get. The way she dismissed him I’m sure was because she physically wasn’t attracted to him but baby take what you can get.

[oliviadanes]

He was really sweet and he didnt deserve to be treated that way. He was the ideal gentleman.

[kellyjohnson]

What a monster. He was a sweetie and Jessica was rude, judgemental, self absorbed and gross. Dates aren't going well because she is just plain nasty.

[EjPwned]

She comes off as sweet and kind on television, but you can see how vicious and rude she can be especially when it comes to dating… jeesh, get off your high horse.

[forreal]

As a straight person I would like to know I am also going on a blind date with a straight person. No negotiations. Case closed. End of story.

[MissNebulosity]

Jessica had her walls up like nobody's business. I personally found Shojon to be so fantastically charming and fun.

[RedefiningBodybuilding]

I've been watching this trainwreck for years, back when Jessica was Rodrigo. Obsessed with cosmetic surgery then, and still is now. It's absolutely clear why Jessica is still single. The outer experience can be chopped and cut up all you want but when your spirit is ugly, it bursts out.

[Lasirenagirl]

I had second degree embarrassment watching this
She threw her own insecurities onto him
This actually made me trust confidence in myself

When you’re confident you’re actually kinder and a better human being

[Ashley_Magnolia]

Shojun: *Doesnt ask superficial questions about her celebrity status or make her gender the subject of conversation*
Jessica: “I want someone who loves me for me and not my celebrity status but for who I am as a person”

[fairyjewels]

She wanted him to ask what she wanted to talk about. She wasn't interested in getting to know him, she just wanted to go on about her procedures and how different she is.
