Yeah, I mean, I think a common pushback is, oh, I don't feel comfortable going on a video chat. And the reality is it's, uh, 2022, almost 2023. So it's, uh, at this point, get comfortable. Yeah, get over it, I guess, to say as nicely as possible. But like, it's just a really— it is a really frustrating experience going on an in-person date. And being very confident it's gonna be good because the texting was amazing. And then you get there and you're like, whoa, I do not want to be here. And especially in some of these major markets where drinks can be $100 for a date, it's like, whoa. So I would just say just jump on a video chat. You'll probably be a little nervous, and that's okay. And you could share that you're nervous, and you could say that's your first time doing this. But video gives you such an incredible experience that a text will never be able to provide. So I say just try it. It's okay to be nervous, and don't just meet someone cold at a bar.
