For someone who loves cats
as much as you clearly do,

why don't you have one?

- Oh, what? 'Cause I'm single,
I need a cat?

- Well, it kind of

Oh, wait.

He's practically

- Online, where else?

- Hm.
You gonna see him again?

- I don't think so.
I wasn't really into him.

- So what's the point

- I'm just trying to follow

It's online, too,

The guide explains

"Which Cartoon Character
Would I Date" quiz.

It's been shared across
major social media platforms.

I got Jafar.
Not sure how I feel about that.

- Sorry.
Sorry I'm late.

- I'd like to introduce
the newest member of our team,

Scott Stewart.
He will be directing

- Where are we with "A Man for
Every Month" spotlight column?

- It's doing well with
the female post-college demo.

We'd talked about one
of our writers tackling

a follow-up with each eligible
bachelor,

but we didn't assign yet.
- A follow-up? No.

But here s a thought.

Why are they still single?

We should find out.

- What if one girl
went on dates with them?

A man for every month?

She could have the opportunity

to land one of the most
eligible bachelors.

- We could release
a vlog or a video series

instead of an article.

Viewers are more likely
to watch than read.

I can direct.
- This is good.

I like this.
- What was his last name again?

- Uh, Stewart, I think.

- Oh, man.
My friend Sarah

used to work with him.
He's a total womanizer.

- We would need to get a girl
in right away,

date the guys back to back,

possibly over
a couple of months.

We'd need someone
in editorial.

Callie?
- Can't, I have a boyfriend.

- But do you love him?
- Yes.

- Oh. That's too bad.

Megan.
- Present.

- Are you single?
- Define the term single.

- Do you have
a significant other?

- No, I'm--
yeah, single.

- So, it's settled.

A single woman dates a man
for every month.

- But, just so we're clear,
I would be dating more guys

in a few weeks than
I've dated in my entire life.

Who's that?
- July.

Let's get you a boyfriend.

- Looks like
we'll be working together.

- Mm-hmm.

- Dating multiple guys
back to back

for the world to see?
Seems like a big undertaking.

- Thank you.

- That wasn't a compliment.

- Oh, I m sorry.
I'm just--

[stammers]
I'm just nervous.

- You'll be fine.

Well, I'll see you
in the studio tomorrow then.

- Yes, you will.
Yes, you will.

- You better
watch out for him.

- Why?
- I texted my friend.

You know, the one
who used to work with him?

Well, apparently,
she went out with him once.

- And?

- He dropped her
like a bad habit.

Which is crazy
because she is flawless.

- Oh, wow.

Okay.

- I can't do this.
Look at me. I'm stress-baking.

- I love when you stress-bake,
because I reap the benefits.

Seriously, though,
you can do this.

We just need to get
to the root of the problem.

What's holding you back?
- Don't know.

I feel really
uncomfortable.

- Okay, then you need
more confidence,

which comes from
positive experiences.

Let's go.

- Wha--
Where are we going?

- We're not wasting
any more time.

We're fixing this tonight.
- No, I'm not ready.

That's like taking the cookies
out of the oven

before they're fully baked.

You have to stick in
a toothpick first.

- Gooey cookies are the best,
everyone knows that.

- Okay, it's not
my best analogy, but--

- Here we go.

- That's my girl.

my brand as a whole,

So today we're starting
a new vlog here at "NewsMaze."

You might remember the
"Man for Every Month" feature

where we interviewed
eligible bachelors.

And now,
I get to date them.

I'm in my 20s
and I have never had

a serious relationship before.

Usually I chalk it up
to the fact that

I just haven't met
the right guy,

but at a certain point
you've got to wonder.

Well, I would love to hear
any feedback or thoughts

that you guys might have.
So feel free to comment

- Among other qualifications.

-I'm college-educated.
I'm healthy. I'm happy.

I have a great job,

and most importantly,
I want to find love.

- But you're not the demographic
our site targets.

- What? Because
I'm over 40?

- Well, yes.

- You know,
the over-40 crowd,

we're the ones who have
the most trouble meeting people.

We're the ones
who need this feature the most.

- I hear you, Ben.
I really do,

These are clues,
keys to his heart.

- We're getting to know him

actually getting to know him.

- Exactly.

- Well, don't say anything.
Make them talk.

- How do you do that?

- Just ask them questions.

Guys love to talk

Let them.

Besides, being quiet
is more mysterious.

a more in-depth conversation

about it first.
- I was hoping you'd say that.

I've got a few great guys
who are interested.

A widower,
a couple of divorcees,

and one of my friends
who's never been married.

- Isn't that usually
a bad sign?

- No, he's a great guy.
Just a free-spirited hippie.

Took him a few decades longer
than the rest of us

to see the merits
of settling down.

- Okay, that's fair.

- I made a mock-up of myself
and some of my friends here.

- This is really important
to you, isn't it?

- Finding love?

Only the most important
thing in life.

Are you married?

- Divorced.

- How do you meet men?

- I don't.

- Well, then you get it, right?
It's rough out there.

- [clears throat]
Let me take a look.

Oh, this guy
looks interesting.

- Yeah,
he's the fan favorite.

- Oh, is he, really?

He's looking for
an intelligent, motivated woman

with a sense of humor.

"Are you out there?
Because he's ready to rescue you

from that burning building
and sweep you off your feet."

Did you write this yourself?

- With a little help
from my daughter.

- Well, it's not bad.

- Your 4:00 is here.

- Thank you, Callie.

I have another meeting,
but this is good stuff.

I'll get back to you.

- Great. Thank you.

One of them might be
really great.

It's about you,
