Hello and welcome back to the Lab where we take your questions and turn them into experiments.
-
My name is Mitch. I'm Greg. And what if I told you that there's a list of questions that can make you fall in love with a stranger?
-
Well it turns out that there is actually a study done where they took a specific thirty-six questions.
-
Had two complete strangers ask them to each other
-
And increase the likelihood that they were fall in love.
-
And obviously in general just doing one experiment doesn't prove anything
-
We thought it would be awesome to get two strangers in here, force them to do this experiment, and see what happens.
-
So..this is what happend!
-
My name is Cam, and I'm twenty-four.
-
My name is Emily, and I'm twenty-two years old.
-
I'm nervous about today, to be perfectly honest.
-
I really want to see that if the study works!
-
I think it'll be...you know what if we hate each other.
-
or we don't like what we're saying.
-
I think it'll be cool to see if it's effective.
-
Hey! How's it going?
-
Great! How are you?
-
Emily, right? Yes. Cam.
-
Cool. Nice to meet you.
-
Yes, nice to meet you, too. Are you nervous at all for this?
-
Yes. Yeah, me too. We can just get started.
-
So, the first question...
-
Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
-
Um instinctually, I want to say Clint Eastwood. Cam: Nice!
-
I would say...I really like Neil Armstrong or something like that.
-
I think I would like to be famous, I guess.
-
Not an A-list celebrity or anything like that. Maybe a D-list one.
-
Or some people will know who you are. You know you be that guy.
-
I sang to myself on the car right over here.
-
I was listening to Taylor Swift.
-
Nice! What's on?
-
The whole album.
-
Oh nice!
-
Like fearless. Not even her new stuff though.
-
They're keeping the questions pretty alike as you can see.
-
I used to think I was going to die very young in high school when I was anxious. Like I'm gonne be...It's gonna happen!
-
But then I hit 18 and I was like forget that Emily. You're gonna live to a hundred. You're making a century club.
-
I've always wanted to be a good artist.
-
I'd like to be maybe a bit more...assertive.
-
Nah. Maybe not too much so though.
-
I don't want to push people in doing things that they don't want to do.
-
My most terrible memory was the morning my sister called me to tell me that my mom had a heart attack.
-
Yeah. She's OK.
-
Ok. That's good to hear she's ok. But I could imagine that is terrifying.
-
Yeah. That was bad memory.
-
She's um...She's doing well? Yeah. She's doing well. She's doing very well..
-
I would say mine will be my grandmom's mind just kind of started deteriorating.
-
Cause she lived with us for my whole life.
-
You know to see her forgot who I am, call me a different name.
-
And she would wake up seven days. You know, she's a ninety-year old woman, and wonder why she didn't have school.
-
That's pretty terrible. I would say. So, yeah.
-
Yeah. That really hurts.
-
Um-hum.
-
I know people need affection, and I do, too.
-
But I have to more like think about sometimes, my actions.
-
People need validation sometimes and they need to hear that or see, by touch.
-
Romantic love hasn't been a big role for the past a little over years now.
-
I'm trying to be more cautious about who I give and receive that love from.
-
Because it is so important.
-
I have a stuffed animal called buster. He's a dog.
-
So...I've probably may saved buster.
-
Mine's fluffy. OK. Buster and fluffy should meet one day.
-
I was worried about this coming into it because I can't be a little bit awkward.
-
But you made me feel at ease.
-
You seem very cool and calm and confident at the same time.
-
So I guess thats' three.You have a really good personality.
-
I also like what you're wearing. Oh. Thank you. Those colors really compliment you.
-
And...make you look handsome.
-
Cool. Thank you.
-
Um...I like your face.
-
It's a nice face.
-
Your face is very symmetrical.
-
,which is something we subconsciously look for because I know that I can consciously look for.
-
I said like a lot. Like like this. Like that.
-
But you're very very well spoken.
-
I actually swear...all time.
-
I am trying very hard. Sh*t, fu*k, alright.
-
Curse like a sailor? Yeah.
-
That will be nice to have someone literally say anything and everything.
-
and they will still...
-
like you and respect you and not think you're a big weirdo.
-
You have very very nice smile.
-
I would definitely make out with you.
-
Okay.
-
Yeah. I was kind of thinking about that like on a break and I was like "Yeah, I definitely make out with him."
-
"and...he's pretty attractive."
-
We have a lot of things in common.
-
And I like what I like, so it's a good thing.You know, to have a lot of things in common.
-
Emily: I expected to be a lot more awkward.
-
...but it was more interesting and exciting.
-
Cam: I like you. You're cool.
-
Cam: It was interesting getting to know a lot about you.
-
because a lot of those questions aren't necessarily step you'd say right away or even sometimes ever to someone.
-
Would you guys like to see each other again after this?
-
Cam: Yeah Emily: Yeah. I'd like to see him again.
-
And if you guys want to, and there's no pressure, you guys can kiss each other.
-
Sure!
-
Sounds good!
