I know what you're thinking.

Oh, my God!
[exclaims]
He's kinda cute.
[narrator] And who am I, you ask?
Think of me as the screenwriter.
The matchmaker guiding our leading ladies
through these Parisian streets.
Ooh, I think there's a note!
[narrator] Each day, our leading ladies
will get a script
that will set them on the path of real available men
that I've hand-picked
to help push them out of their comfort zones.
"On the first page, you'll learn where you'll be going
and what you'll be doing.
And you never know who you might bump into
once you're there." Oh, my God!
"But the rest of the script is blank.
And that's because where this story takes you
is ultimately up to you."

[narrator] Exterior: Parisian street.
Early evening.
The three ladies strut down a charming cobblestone street
and I couldn't help but wonder
"Is this their last night out as single girls?"
[Mimi] We're in freakin' Paris.
So I'm assuming everyone's very single.
A hundred percent. Very single.
When was your last relationship?
Um... never?
-What?! -And I'm like, "Is it me?"
Maybe I'm the one with the commitment issues?
My type is a little bit trash, so like...
[laughter]
None of them want a relationship.
-Right. -Nobody wants commitment,
I'm Mexican, and I'm a Sagittarius.
I'm like, "I'm double fire."
You kinda have to be able to keep up with that.
I think I put such emphasis on exterior
and I need to put more emphasis on interior.
In the past, it was kind of like,
the red flags is what made it fun.
But now I'm over that.
Yeah, and the red flags, though.
I ignore the hell out of them flags.
Now, I'm like, "I see them!"
-Yes! -I'm paying attention.
Wait, so you've been in a relationship before?
I was in a relationship for thirteen years.
-No! -Oh, my God!
-I was engaged and everything. -[both gasp]
[Jasmine] We were engaged for seven years.
Every time I tried to plan the wedding,
it just never happened and I just got to the point
where I was like, "What are we doing?"
Oh, my God. How long ago was that?
Uh, four months ago.
[both gasp]
You think you're like, ready, though, to find love?
-Or open to it? -Yes.

coming into this because I want to be so open,
but my past has jaded me.
Why do you think you went for the type of guys that you did?
Emotionally unavailable men.
When you grow up, how you learn to deal with
-emotions is... -Yeah...
how you end up in relationships.
That affected me when it comes to dating.
I think both of us, we've grown up so independent.
I think I kinda guard myself from falling in love
so that, like, I don't have to go through...
losing someone.
[chuckles]
Oh, my God, you're gonna make me cry.
[Mimi sobs]
Who did you...
My mom passed away in high school.
[Danielle] Ooh.
Yeah. From cancer.
She, like, raised me by herself.
It didn't make sense why I had to lose her.
And it was just, like...
so hard to like...
[sobs]
go through that.
I don't ever want to have to go through that again,
with, like, losing someone I love.
[sniffles] I mean, I'm always like,
"Oh, I haven't met the right guy."
But I haven't met a guy that is worth risking
going through that, if that makes sense.
Why, I actually know exactly how you feel.
[exhales]
I lost my dad...
um, five years ago.
We were like, super super close.
And it was really hard to see him go through chemo.
[exhales]
When he first found out he was sick, he...
pulled me in the room and it was just him and I,
he was like, "You're the strong one
in the family," and like,
"I need you to be strong" and...
I think I just kinda like carried that over.
That's also why I'm so guarded when it comes to relationships.
But, like, when I find a guy,
I'm always like, "Would my mom like him?"
And you're probably the same way.
-Yeah. -And so...
I think your dad would be so proud of you.
I think your mom would be so proud of you.
Yeah.
Hopefully. [laughs]
You know what though,
at least, like, our trauma made us funny.
[laughs] Yeah.
I'm so happy I have you, though.
I know.
If we don't find anybody in this situation,
I'm like, "At least I have you."
-I know, seriously! -[both laugh]

-Like-- -We have each other.

But it's intentional, my thing is like...
just being infatuated on my phone all the time,
being, like, "Oh, is this person gonna reply to me?"

the element of, one, getting to know each other in person
and having those real conversations
that I feel like last a bit longer than just seeing
text on a screen.

and translation through text.
You could just say whatever you need to say,

I think you want him to be all in.
Yes. Showing the interest and showing the effort,
and showing the communication,
I don't think what I'm asking for is a lot.
Well, I just feel like communicating,
and texting, especially in the beginning,
it means such different things to different people, like...
for me, like, good communication is, like, not texting all day,
but if I have something interesting to say,
I call them that night.
But for you, you want, like, the constant stream of text,
and Marcel may not be like that.
-Mm-hmm. -And for him,
like, constantly texting,
may feel like it's more rushed.
You've only hung out with him...
less than a handful of times.
So maybe for him, he's feeling like,
"Oh, shoot, she might be in a different place,
and she might be looking at this and looking
into the future a little bit further than I am."
