California Automobile Museum is a perfect place for Sacramento car lovers
We're gonna kick my *** in there. I might, we're not saying anything good about what I do. It's just good enough to get free drinks. Unbelievable. One single, three blind dates and the city awaits who will get *** second date. Find out on love. Welcome Angelina at 49. This sassy single mom keeps *** busy schedule with friends, work and family but is looking for more after years of dating. Angelina wants to find the right guy to slow down and enjoy life with. I'm Angelina. I'm 49 and I'm *** mixed use property manager. I've been *** single mom for the past 15 years, but they're now grown and out of the house. And so I'm an empty nester. Just me. I've been on the dating apps and I swipe left, left left. I have *** great life. I have an enormous group of friends and we're very active, but I would like to share that with somebody. Are you nervous for your dates? I'm not nervous. I'm excited. We met at *** singles meet up and we ended up just meeting *** bunch of girlfriends instead of men. I think she's looking for someone fun outgoing, someone who's going to make time for her as well as she'll make time for them. And I know you like men that ask you questions, want to get to know you and what you're about. And so hopefully you find somebody that meets that expectation. I'm gonna have *** good time no matter what. But for me, it's the company that I'm with, she's about to meet three local singles. Can Angelina close out of the dating apps and sign on for true love or will she be left swiping? Angelina is ready for her first blind date. Will he be right up her alley or will he strike out? Say hello to Peter? I'm Peter. I'm 55 years old. I'm *** business systems analyst. I'm saying right now I think because I haven't met the right person. I've been dating so good and bad stuff. I've been learning about myself about other people but just trying to get out there. I do believe in love. Unlike my younger self. It's not love at first sight. I think it's something that happens over time. Ideally I meet somebody special and it goes from there. We are at Capitol Bowl. It's just *** fun place to work at. It's *** fun place for people to come in. You know, families love it. In my opinion. It's the best thing to do. Hi, I'm Angelita. Hi Peter. It's nice to meet you. Full disclosure. I was at *** bowling birthday party yesterday? Oh, so you're gonna kick my *** in there. I might, let's do it. My initial thought is he looks like *** very nice, well put together, man, *** little on the smaller side for me, but I'm also wearing heels. We get our shoes first. Right. Yeah, I guess we do. Where do we do that? Oh, right here. Thank you. I am not competitive in bowling. I try to at least not embarrass myself. I think bowling is *** great first date. I like to bowl. I'm very competitive. Ok, I'm ready. Let's do this. Go ahead. You go first. Oh, my God. T I was it already? Yeah, that was *** little intimidated, I thought. Ok, here we go. It's *** good thing. There's alcohol after her. I'm really not that good at this. I guess you are when I turn around, the first thing I noticed about her is *** big, beautiful smile. Uh, she does seem *** bit competitive. There you go. There you go. There you go. Ketchup right now. So, it was interesting that she was trying to distract me as I was bowling. Ah, I just love, there you go. That's it. You got it. You got it nice. That's what I told you. You're getting better. I'm getting worse. There you go. I'm improving. Yay. Oh, no. All right. You can pass me on this one. See, you need the hand dryer. No, I need not have nails. You get this. Yeah. But there you go. That's your disadvantaged dis, my nails. Ah, well, that was fun. You almost caught up. I, I almost caught up but you won. It was great. There you go to Cheers. So, what do you like to do when you're not working right now? I am training for *** half marathon. I recently ran the California International Marathon. So, that was in December. So I, so I do that to stay fit. But uh I run with other folks. It's *** social thing as well. Uh So before that I was uh doing ballroom dancing. Um Interesting. What about you? What are your hobbies? Jewelry, furniture, painting, gardening ornaments, scrapbooking and sports. I make beads and cars. I'm *** car enthusiast. I have *** lot of hobbies. She's *** very interesting person. She's got *** full life. Uh She's got many things going on. How often do you date? So, for *** while I wasn't dating anyone and I wasn't looking for anyone in particular. If it happened, it happened. But then my friend said, uh I need to go out and, and take some chances and take risks. So, so I started doing that. Dating when you're older is very different than dating when you're younger, especially if they have their own family, their kids as well and they have their life. So it's not like you're young and you're starting out and you can merge your life. I don't think we really have anything in common but we talked about everything and nothing very easy going. He answered all my questions. He asked me questions and I really appreciate that. So, you have your hobbies? You have work. How do I find the time? How would you find the time, uh, to date? I have an abundance of time. My schedule is pretty set. I work during the day, Monday through Friday. So my evenings are wide open and my weekends are wide open. I just happen to have so many interests and several circles of friends that there's always activities. I would just back away *** little bit from hugging to my friendship so much. I would definitely like to see Angelina again, um, because I feel like we just scratched the surface here. Um, and, uh, I think more opportunities would provide that, uh, in the future. That was fun. Thanks for coming. Are you ready to call it *** night? Oh, absolutely. Ok. Let's do it. Ok. The date was fun. It was really good. He's very easy to talk to *** gentleman. He made me feel really relaxed. It was good. We had *** great time. We'll see, we'll see. We've got *** couple more dates coming and he's, he's *** contender coming up. Angelina got the ball rolling on her first blind date. Will she be geared up for her next day or will it stall Peter and Angelina's competitive fun sides came out at bowling, but now she's on to her next blind date with Wes. Will he have what it takes to fuel the romance of *** second date. Me, Wes, I'm wes, I'm 49. I own *** small project management firm. I came to Sacramento in the Bay area about eight years ago. There's *** lot to do around here for somebody who doesn't like to do much. I love it. It's, um, you know, I'm really just looking to have *** good time today. This is *** great set up. Um, sometimes it's hard to meet new people out there and, uh, it couldn't be *** cooler place to do it. The California Auto Museum is our little automotive oasis here in Sacramento. We sort of pride ourselves in showcasing the cars that people know the cars that people have driven in the past. I think this is *** good place for *** date because you can learn about the history of the car. Nearly everyone has *** car but not everyone might know where they came from or how they developed over time. So, *** museum is *** good place to sort of learn that and bond as ***, like *** one on one experience and learn at the same time. I don't know anything about who I'm meeting. I'm excited though because I'm figuring he's *** car enthusiast since we're at the Tao Ford Museum. Hi, I'm Wes, I'm Angelina. Nice, nice to meet you. Well, welcome. To the California automobile. Have you ever been here? I have, have you? I have never been here. I've been here *** lot. Excellent Wes is attractive. He's *** good looking man. Wow. It's so tight quarters. Angelina has *** great smile. She came in with *** lot of energy. This is *** 1913 model T and so Ford's business plan was instead of building *** few very expensive cars and finding buyers to build *** lot of very inexpensive cars and that's how he made his fortune. I've actually never been here like that and had the personal experience with the tour guide. So you guys can go wander around the museum, enjoy yourselves. And if you have any questions, uh come back and find me or what are the other docents? Thank you so much. You're welcome. Thank you. The model T was cool. I never got to do that before. I've never been that close to one or got to sit in one and really see what it's involved right there. That was yours. That was mine. That was your first car. That was my first car. That's *** really cool. It was *** nice ride for *** first car. You were *** hot piece of work. You drove up to high school and that I did drive up to high school in *** 79. Yep. I like the interior. How perfect it is. I love the T tops and the silver interior you had to be really cool. I was cool. It was good to talk to *** woman about cars. It's been *** while since somebody could keep up with the engines and the horsepower. That was great. Yeah, I like the uh, I like the motorcycle there. The Kawasaki, I grew up around the chips era was addicted to motorcycles. As soon as I saw those motorcycles. That's what cool looked like. That's *** chips motorcycle for sure. Every kid wanted to be Poncho or John. You know, there was *** point where they stopped playing like Cops and robbers and it was, let's play chips. Well, well, there's so much to see. But do you wanna sit down and have *** chat real quick? Let's do that. Thank you. Well, do you live in Sacramento? I do. Whereabouts? Not far from here, just north of Sacramento? Right on. How long you been here? Born and raised, born and raised? That's rare these days. Everybody's coming from the Bay area to come over to Sacramento. Right. What do you do with your weekends? Most of the time? I'm, I'm traveling *** lot for my work. Uh and if I get *** chance to relax, I love to go to some of the local wineries. Um There's *** few around here that will compensate me with wine if I play the guitar there. So you play the guitar. I, I can, I can, I can play the guitar, then we're not showing up we're not, we're not saying anything good about what I do. It's just good enough to get free drinks. Um, so it's like that's my comfort zone. And do you date often? No. You know, I got divorced about two years ago. I try to stay as busy as possible. But, uh, the dating scene is, is *** little bizarre sometimes and, uh, with the, the advent of online dating and all the, um, the changes to the dating scene, I think the last time that I was single it was very much meet people in person at the bar or meet people, you know, because *** friend of *** friend introduces you and I'm still kind of getting my sea legs under me. Right. Two years out. You're still *** newbie. Yeah. Oh, you just don't even know the half of it yet. So, what is it you're looking for in *** partner? Why don't you tell me what you're looking for in *** partner? Why, why do I have to go first? I'm looking for someone to do life with, do life. Yes. I think mostly I miss one person to just talk about my events. What happened at work? What's going on with the girls? It's, I, I just miss having that been around the world *** few times and seen *** lot of places. Pretty much. My favorite places is home just coming home. Wow. And having someone there who's happy to have you home means *** lot. Yes, I like that. We choose to our first date. Cheers to our first date. Are you ready to get out of here? I'm ready. Let's do our best. It was good. I had *** lot of fun at the museum. Um, learned *** lot of good things about uh Angelina and it was, it was *** great time. The day was good. Wes is very charismatic and he's funny. I haven't made up my mind who I would like to see again. But so far, um he's definitely in the running. Angelina definitely clicked with Wes on their date. Will her last date crack the code of dating in Sacramento or will she feel trapped? Say hello to Paul? My name is Paul. My age is 55 and I'm *** professional martial artist. The dating scene in Sacramento is very challenging. You just never know what you're gonna get. What I'm looking for in *** partner is *** very good question. I guess I'll just note when I see it today on our date, we're gonna be in an escape room. I think it's gonna be *** great activity because it's gonna make our minds wander all over the place we're uh in chambered off of Arden in Sacramento. In chambered is an escape room where usually people are locked in *** room for an hour experience where they have to solve puzzles or challenges to complete the experience. Partly on first dates. You kind of have this expectation of trying to be your best because you're under *** time strain, you're under *** lot of pressure. So you really get to see the real person coming through. Hey, I'm Paul. I'm Angelina. Nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you too. When Angelina walked in the door, I was absolutely ready to go in that escape room and have some fun. Well, we've got something fun planned for you today. We've got trouble in the toy shop. Should be *** fun room for you. Do you want to follow me back? We good start this one. All right. Now the toy maker has been hard at work making toys for all the local Children with their upcoming birthdays. Rumors say that he's made himself *** machine that helps him create the perfect toy for any kid. He's currently out delivering some toys and has left his assistant patches. The bear in charge of making the last few toys, patches has been doing *** pretty good job so far making toys, but it looks like he hasn't quite finished making that last toy yet. That last toy does need to be delivered in one hour. You up to helping him out. I do it. All right. Good luck y'all. Now that I've met Paul, I think he's an excellent partner to be doing it with, he seems like he's very energetic and eager to do something like this before you get distracted. I continue to make sure that you have enough supplies. Stop putting lock coats in the toys. You got that. I got supplies. You got *** supply. You're not *** brush, right? Oh, what was that noise? Hey, you are finally some thumbs. Wait. What coming up? Will there be room for Angelina and Paul to have fun on this date or will things just get weird? Angelina is on her third date at, in Chambered Sacramento hoping she'll find the clues she needs to move on to another date with Paul. I can really use your help. I need you to figure out what toy needs to be made. Ok. Date was very challenging. Of course, had to use your mind *** little bit more than like going out to eat. Perhaps Paul seems to be *** bundle of energy. So there's *** lock here and then there's one, *** lock there, *** lock here. So we got one another lock here. There's four. Ok? We gotta follow the blue light, follow the blue light, right? Ready to do it. Teamwork here. Ok. Paul and Angelina are going to need more than teamwork to escape this room. It's time for *** little help. Hi, TIMS. Girl, we did it. Unbelievable. Right. Oh Match *** bat and *** rhino. Come on, girl. Time is of the essence we got to bust out of here, man. Stop fighting last week. All the brochures coming into this first date with Paul and doing something. Neither of us have ever done being the escape room. It's been an experience like *** 46323. Ok. Those are our numbers. Ok. Yay, yay. You did it. Yeah. But never see, see yay. Oh, we're making *** robot first. You got right next is straight. Next is right next is left. That's the final piece. Love it. Now, we can build our robot. It was hard, but I would do it again. That was great. It's great. We should go relax *** little bit of, let's go sit down. Oh, wow. That was pretty interesting. That was *** lot of fun the first time for us both. Yeah. So tell me about you. What's your story? I got *** long story. Give me the bullet point. He is very easy to hang out with, easy to talk to. So, what are you looking for in *** partner? Definitely. I think the number one thing that's important to me is just having someone have your back. You don't always have to be on the same page on everything. But I think as far as financial being secure, that type of *** thing and just being mature of that and have *** lot of fun man, because I'm all about having fun. Yes, I can tell. And, and he's happy. He's just *** happy guy. What about you? So, I've got *** fabulous life. I love where I'm at. I would just like someone to enjoy the special things with. I haven't had *** Valentine in years. Yeah. Haven't had someone to kiss me on New Year's in years. Right. So, it's, you know, those kind of things, those special times from both of us being divorced. You need time to heal from that and everyone heals *** little differently. Some people heal quick. Some people take years and some people never heal from the pains that took place. Right. You're absolutely right. There is *** rebuilding stage after divorce. Yes, we actually both share divorce. So we both know what that's like when you're going through *** divorce, my rebuilding is done. I have *** clean slate and I'm just looking for someone to blend my life with high five right there. Yes, sure. I'd go on *** second date with her. Yeah, it'd be fun. Paul is not the type that I would usually go for, but I will say that he's, he's energetic and he was fun to be with. Angelina went on three unique dates with three local bachelors. She was bowled away by Peter at Capitol Bowl. She got *** lesson in love and cars with Wes at the California Automobile Museum and escaped the room with Paul and in Chambered Sacramento. So who was able to find time in Angelina's busy schedule and book themselves *** second date. So my first date with Peter was good time. He was very easy to hang out with and easy to talk to. I had *** good time with him. My second date with Wes, I found that Wes was *** very funny guy. Uh, even in *** car museum, very charismatic. We had *** good time and had some good banter with him. My last date with Paul, he high fived me probably 20 times. He is *** bundle of energy. I had *** good time with him. He was probably the best person to do that activity with four dates in *** week. Having that to look forward to has just been exciting. I have something that's, you know, on my mind every night, these activities and the people that I'm doing with, it's just been fun. Angelina has invited her date to Bodega kitchen and cocktails, *** neighborhood bar in the pocket area of Sacramento. My name is Matt Brown and we're at Bodega Kitchen and cocktails. We're *** neighborhood joint for sure. We get people who are excited that there's Caribbean food finally in Sacramento. But we also have people who live in the neighborhood who are real excited that we're *** bar restaurant. Peter. We and Paul are great. But I do know who I wanna see again. I had such *** good time on our date and I know that the guy I chose is the right one. He's smart. He's charismatic and he's funny. He's the right one. Hi. Good to see you again. Thanks for coming. My pleasure. My pleasure. I ordered you *** drink. Thank you. So I had *** great time at the car museum. What would you like to do? Uh from here? I would be happy to sit here and have *** couple of drinks with you and continue to get to know you better and see where that goes. I found you to be very funny and charismatic when we last met. I would like to just see more of that. Thank you so much and no problem. I hope we have *** great time. Yes. Well, here's to blind dates. Cheers to blind dates. Thanks again. No, that was really cool. I wasn't expecting that at all. Uh I *** little flattered actually. I know I made the right choice in asking him to meet me here.
