After months of communicating only online, a long-distance relationship blossomed between the two while Taylor was working in Hawaii based on their shared faith and Texas upbringing. After both Taylor and David’s serious relationships with other people ended horribly, Jordan knew it was time to interject and get these two together. David’s brother Jordan has been best friends with Taylor for years and he knew his brother would be the perfect match for her. Until David’s brother got involved, Taylor and David had both gone to the same high school, he played football and she was a cheerleader, but they were never romantically involved.

The only television shows I watch are “Girls” and “Louie.” I also love the web series “ Misadventures of An Awkward Black Girl.” Reality television doesn’t appeal to me.īut about a decade ago, my friends and I obtained an entire season of a show called “Sorority Life” and watched it all in a day until our eyes burned and our backs hurt and we felt like we might throw up - and also like we were dumber.

What is your current favorite reality TV show and why? To clarify my criteria for Facebook friends, I recently accepted a friend request from a stranger in Pakistan, the girl who bullied me in sixth grade, and a person I thought was dead.ģ. What is your relationship with Andrew like now? Maybe they’re one of those couples that says things like, “We’re not really dessert people,” and “Our cat is basically our child.”Ģ. I’m probably spreading rumors, but I like to imagine that somewhere out there, a man and a woman with crushed reality-television dreams are doing yard work together and shopping for throw pillows at Pier One Imports. I did hear from a shaky source that before CBS canceled “Arranged Marriage,” an episode was filmed (although never aired) in which one couple got married. Looks like the show was canceled before it aired. We caught up with Diana to see where she is today.ġ. But some months later, when you get perspective, it’s kind of like you didn’t lose anything. And he sets his fork down, looks at me, and says, “I don’t love you.” Then he says, “But you’re a beautiful person inside and out.”I don’t know if you’ve ever lost your boyfriend to a woman he’s never met, but it’s kind of like losing your best friend … to an imaginary friend. And I think, “Finally, tonight he’ll tell me, ‘I choose you.'”So we’re at dinner, and I’m all dressed up, and I’m waiting for the big declaration. Because, to quote Andrew, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”Well, one night in late January, he’s looking at pictures of potential wives, and I’m pretending not to notice, and he says, “You should apply to be my wife.”And I say, “Really?”And he says, “No.”And I say, “Good, because I wasn’t going to anyway.”And he stands, puts his hands on my shoulders and says, “I hate it that I’m hurting you.”And I say, “Then stop hurting me.” And he just hugs me and doesn’t answer.But a couple weeks later, it’s the day before Valentine’s Day, and he says, “I’m taking you to dinner.” I know he doesn’t want to take me out on Valentine’s Day, because Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday.

So my daily grind becomes doing Andrew’s laundry, making him lasagna, editing his alien novel - but I worry if I become too much like his wife he’ll want someone else. All I have to do is keep making him happy until he tells CBS that he’s sorry, but that he’s found true love in real life.

She sounds like a porn star … who’s also a genius.But, I have an advantage over all the wife applicants. And I listen to Andrew describe for them his perfect woman, who doesn’t sound much like me. Well that fall, Andrew and I stay up nights talking, drinking, cooking, and everything’s perfect - except the CBS people keep calling. Eventually, he’d choose one to marry, and his wedding and the first year of his marriage would be broadcast on TV. Women all over the world were going to apply to be his wife.
