This Blind Date Did NOT Go How We Assumed | Tell My Story

It’s certainly easier to make assumptions about people than it is to spend time getting to know someone. We wanted to put assumptions to the test to see what we're missing out on because we're so busy assuming we already "know" a person. Join us as we discover why you should never judge a book by it’s cover in our series 'Tell My Story, Blind Date.'

We are all conditioned with certain biases. In this experiment, we challenged these biases by asking people to guess their partner's interests and past experiences based only on their partner's appearance. When they learned their partner's real answers, they were shocked by how wrong they were.

Now tell YOUR story. What do people assume about you?

IMAGINE how awkward this was without the music

[TheTwilightShadow]

I feel like he let her on more than he needed to. He didn't have to mention that he only dates black woman to a black woman sitting across from him on a blind date... Made her think he was interested.

[MaccyMoose]

This guy deliberately got her hopes up omfg that “I said I wouldn’t date you at first BUT, after talking and getting to know you.. I still wouldn’t”

[violetrose]

In other words, he is unemployed and broke.

[Ryan-bxbr]

"I exclusively date black women. The lord created one specific person for me and I believe she is black."

I'm living for the day when someone guesses the name correctly

[aikikaname]

And yet this woman is taking her rejection more maturely than 99% of the comment section 😂

[smallardresumereply]

He not attracted to her physically, I think he's looking for more of the bohemian, earthy, artsy type of black girl .didn't help he said it twice. She's a med student so I think in the long run they would clash, she's more structured and he's the go with the flow type. Just my 2 cents

[simplyanayah]

This seems so embarrassing omg I would die. She just put herself out there and he said he wouldn't date her and now she looks sad. I'm crying 😭

[jjrcqdf]

she seemed so hurt my heart ached for her. girl, you're freaking beautiful. I LOVE YOU

[thebonifiedlady]

I hate these type of experiments. The look in her eyes when he said he would not date her just broke my heart.

Moral of this story: Be yourself and don’t try too hard to impress a guy...

[amyleahparkinson]

I JUST WANNA REACH THROUGH THE SCREEN AND GIVE HER A BIG HUG AND TELL HER SHE DON'T NEED NO AARON

[Moonlit.Monique]

“I only exclusively date black women.”

And I oop-

[bktm]

Favorite quote- "I don't have friends I have family"

"I wouldn't date you but I think we could be great friends"

[samanthaghost]

He totally played this especially telling her he only dates black women. He got her hopes up and then let her fall flat on her face.

[averykippes]

i wanna hug her she looked so down at the end.

[luckylovesyou]

Do people seriously not like her? I mean, I was getting amazing vibes from her. I absolutely ADORE her personality, and I hope that’s not the reason he turned her down. I would love to be her friend because she seems like the kinda gal who would motivate you and pick you up when you’re down and tell you you’re worth it. I hope I find someone who’s like that😊

[thescranline]

That's so sad. You can tell in her eyes she's crushed. But I'm sure she'll find someone :0)
