– I hope he can guess it, but if he doesn’t

I won’t dump him.

– It might throw a wrench in that whole one year thing.

– No.

– So we’ll see.

(upbeat music)

Her hand’s a little smaller

and so it feels a little different.

So we’ll have to see.

I’m sorry to the person on the other side.

This is weird.

I’m like trying to test out her knuckles

I’m like, is that Saf’s knuckles or is that somebody else’s?

But then again, I don’t even know what Safiya’s knuckles

feel like, so I don’t even know why I’m trying that.

There’s a little bit of gamesmanship going on here.

I think that part of you guys might have been like

let’s put Safiya first, trick out Tyler.

Oh, this is tricky now.

Now this hand is a little bit bigger

and Safiya’s got pretty big hands.

This is impossible.

(laughs)

I’m in pretty intense thought right now,

but this feels like a hand that I know.

It’s like the warmth a little bit

and I’m adding in some descriptors

which can only hurt me if I’m wrong.

I’m like, this hand feels like a hand I’ve been holding.

Okay, this is Safiya’s hand.

I think Safiya’s hand is number three

and I’m really hoping that it is

because I’m pretty nervous right now.

No, who is that?

It’s two then.

Oh my god!

No, I thought I would have known.

I don’t want to see, she’s gonna be mad.

– Are you serious?

I would’ve been so good at this.

– No, stop.

It was not that easy, I couldn’t really tell.

– He did horribly.

Why did you think that the first hand was not my hand?

– We don’t walk this far apart, is really what it is.

So, we usually walk right next to each other

and so we’re farther apart, it just felt different.

Like the angle was different.

– No, it’s fine.

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

– Listen, I’ve held one hand for a year

and maybe if other people get them then

they’re better at holding hands than us.

I think that we’re pretty awesome

with being boyfriend and girlfriend, right?

– Yeah.

– There you go.
