@and um There have been murderers since the dawn of time. The point is, society as a whole was far more articulate, well mannered, and respectful than people of today.
Great to see these when the participants respond back. I actually met my wife through a video service called Great Expectations. Not sure if this show came first or if the video service did but it worked out great for us.
One of the perks of having a sick day from school was getting to watch this show! Can’t believe that I was only 12 when this episode aired! Thanks for uploading this Dwight! I missed a lot of episodes of this because of school, so I’m having a blast catching up!
Dwight and the ladies he had to choose from should be the example for literally every other contestant on this show! They were all well spoken and nice and classy. So much better than most of the people on this show!! Dwight has a wonderful smile and is obviously a great guy. I hope all worked out well for him in life since this show!
Thank you for your kind words. Yes everything worked out well for both her and I though our paths went in different directions. We still remain friends from afar.
I did a video shoot at a major event and he was the headliner. When we talked he said people were coming to him asking where to put the cameras......and I told him others were coming to me saying how great I sang! We both laughed a lot that night!
@@dwightblackshear192 Hi Dwight hope your doing good. I remember my mom watching Love Connection and I remember this episode. Glad to hear you and Gayle are still friends. I can tell your a gentleman that has class and a distinguished demeanor. God Bless and thanks for being a part of a great show from the past that brings back fond memories. Chuck Wolery is one of my all time favorite hosts. Hope you found happiness. Take Care brother!
*Dwight this was awesome, Love Connection was a good show to observe how men and women related to each other even if the date was good or bad. Imagine if Love Connection was on TV today. By the way I thought you would pick number three because she seemed to be the aggressive but passive type. Begood BeGreat.*
if he wanted a lady to do plan c then i dont know why he or the crowd picked gale. she clearly says in her video that she wasnt going home to spend the night until she gets to know the guy. so it made no sense to pick her. lol
Hahahaha, I know huh! Actually when we arrived we were briefed by one of the producers on things that would fit in our date so somehow we came up with the ABC's and Gail was told to complain about having to use her hands and not having Lobster. We had a good time and despite being told NOT to see each other again before the show I actually drove her to it. We remain friends to this day.
@@dwightblackshear192 thats cool that youre friends. ive seen others insult each other and argue. its nice when it actually works out, even if its as friends.
While didn't get the autograph, Gail and I remained friends even after she went back to her husband and had another child! She's on Facebook and at times I send her a message from here.
So Dwight, what happened with the young lady? Did y’all continue today or what exactly happened. If it didn’t work out if I may be so bold, what happened?
We became friends and to this days decades later we still communicate. Life gives you opportunities to make lemon pie even when you sometimes get lemons.
@@dwightblackshear192 I’m glad to hear that. She seemed like a nice lady just from the low clip. You were pretty cool too brother. Thank you for replying.
Great show. You guys seemed like such a match made in heaven. It’s always nice to hear when it all pan’s out beautifully in the end. But, sometimes the big boss upstairs has other plans for all of us. Did you at least get a chance to make it to plan D? And, if so was she pleasantly surprised or terrified?
Thanks for the update. I am happy that it worked out one way or another. Are there any current photos or interviews with the two of you online by any chance? If not…thank you so much for your time and information.
@@dwightblackshear192 Dwight, you impressed me as a very decent, but down-to-earth, and intelligent brother. I watch this video from time to time with pleasure. I hope your life turned out great.
A fellow HBCU grad! Good stuff brotha. What do you remember most about living in LA in the early 80’s? I was part of an F18 squadron in the Navy. What did you fly?
I flew RF-4s out of El Toro. Yes, living in LA back in the 80s was interesting and working in Hollywood even more so. I lived in Marina Del Rey for most of my time there and now enjoy both Bonn, Germany and San Francisco. Semper Fi my friend!
@@nikkib6604 I lived in one of the Penthouses of the highest building back then and paid around $1200/month. It was PH 19 at 4143 Via Marina is the address and suspect now the rent is well over $6,000/month
@@dwightblackshear192 I know quite a number of people that have known each other for many years and are good friends. I am glad that you found that in Gail.
@@MsSmudge14 Yes, I was one of the lucky ones for if you should watch some of the other segments their dating experiences were in total opposite. Gail and I remained friends even as out paths were different and are still Facebook friends today. I was truly one of the lucky ones.
the first woman should find a water buffalo, the second sounds like a church lady the third as soon as she was described as coming from La ( not the city) scratch that so another guy that should say no thank. also on this show everyone looks older than they s6ae so they're all liars. The brother could do better on his own the woman he chose was a loser
Dwight was a stud , well spoken and very classy.. a charmer
Back when people had class & respect. Gale is super cool & Dwight is smooth as 10,000 thread count silk sheets!!!
jajaja kindoff, but also lots of plan ¨D¨
When people had class and respect? He literally jokes about getting her drunk to take her home with him.
I like where he said body wise that's not for me to choose ! Good answer .
My is that a good answer? Women have no problem picking how men look? Am I not correct?
wow..what happen to society, listen to how these people sound, they're in their thirties, they look beautiful and sound very professional ...
They turned into whores n greed plays a part in not caring
Ya and then watch any reality show from the late 90s on up an see how stupid people talk and act.
@and um There have been murderers since the dawn of time. The point is, society as a whole was far more articulate, well mannered, and respectful than people of today.
Proper English. You show society how to speak
Exactly. I thought the same thing. Nowadays some ppl sound like absolute idiots and you can't understand they're saying. I miss the good old days
I knew that I recognized you!!
Dwight…what a charming guy. Such a lovely personality.
Great to see these when the participants respond back. I actually met my wife through a video service called Great Expectations. Not sure if this show came first or if the video service did but it worked out great for us.

Thanks for your kind reply Musicmaker and glad you liked this episode.
Same with me except for 1.I wasn't in school, I was born in 83😕 wasn't really watching until I was about 3 😁 1986
This came onnat night in my town
Ha ha, she said, when I saw his “ad” in Playgirl, I was ready for plan “D”
When people had class and integrity
Exactly! Dwight and I didn't believe we were cool with our pants hanging down and showing our draws
Smoother than silk...

He sure does doesn't he!? He's a very handsome young man and she's gorgeous! They make a great looking couple.
Yes Al Jarred and Cuban Gooding Jr.
But lobster would have been messy too.
I know HUH! lol
What's up Dwight watching old shows and reading comments. Seen you replied how cool. That's awesome yall are still friends.
Yes we are and also a Facebook friend too! We have gone thru different paths but the friendship remains.

You look like you have had a wonderful career and still having it!! God Speed.. And that Antarctica Vacay was breath taking!!
Today all of that would be offensive! I miss when we could just laugh at ourselves! I miss the 80’s. Are you still with that girl?
He is so cute! Love his spin.
No comments about his play girl?!?! Crazy!!
She said plan D. 😳
8:52 - "Ok....We'll buy that" lol!!!
Haha! Gale is such a cutie pie!
1st couple she said PLAN D
We lool much younger in this era. Maybe its the hair and outfits.
Good looking couple
When Chuck says "We're out of time", the audience usually "Aaawww's". 😮
Gale,she’s ready for plan “D”😂😂😂
Dwight got that Big D energy
September 1984
That’s some new math right there! Must be CRT math.
Chucks the best.

RF-4B Phantom Jet fighters, compliments of the USMC!
Wow!!
Dwight you did excellent I bet that your date had a good time also did get chuck woolery autograph. 😀👍

@@dwightblackshear192 cool 😎. 😀👍
What’s up with his posture?
Hi Dwight! Was this a match?
Chuck: "Ok, we'll buy that!" Lol
I can't believe my parents let me watch this 🤭
Uh, Chuck, why do YOU think he was chosen for PlayGirl magazine?
Dwight, you were an adorable perfect gentleman. I bet you still are:)
dwight, you the man.!!!!
Dwight Dwight Dwight!
You remind me of Peabo Bryson!
Thank you, I am honored by your comment
@@dwightblackshear192 :-)
And Gale was a good wholesome woman or seemed so !
Gail is like 69 now
In the early eps, there were two sets of three monitors to the left of the big screen but by this point there was only one.
He is A MAN!!!!
So Dwight, what happened with the young lady? Did y’all continue today or what exactly happened. If it didn’t work out if I may be so bold, what happened?

What was Plan D?

D is for Discrete
I picked contestant no. 3 before i finished watching. Not sure who he'll pick😅
Let’s keep it real. Dwight hit that.
Dwight I hope you found love after you and Fail became friends. You were a lovely couple!
Gayle
Looks like Dwight did very well 🎉
