As someone who is in a relationship but are not quarantined with their SO, all these points you're mentioning in this video hits just as hard. I haven't seen my bf since March and miss him very much.
I literally made a online dating profile three weeks before we went into quarantine, went on two dates and after lock down I realized online dating is definitely not how I would like to meet someone. I also felt like quarantine was a big sign to not online date for me. I have been focusing on myself and thats been the best decision. I've also realized how good my own company is and how much more fulfilled I am letting it organically happen versus chasing the idea of finding someone.
Online dating isn't for everyone, but it's a good way to meet people you would have never met face to face. I.e. you live in one city and he lives in a city 30 mins away and you guys dont frequent the same places. Best of luck to you though
@@purplehazee90Thank you and to clarify I didn't say online dating isn't a good way, I said online dating is not the way "I" would like to meet someone, specifically meaning online dating sites. I think it's very important to know who you are and that begins with what you like and don't like. I know plenty of people with successful marriages/relationships that started in an online dating sites. It works for many and it is a way to meet people but for me, I've never been able to create a meaningful relationships there. This is where I am in my life right now. I make more connections by putting myself out there, socializing and being part of different interest in life that lead me to different people, and that is coming from an introvert. I appreciate the well wishes, thankfully I am very fulfilled and joyful right now. I also wish you well and I hope you continue to do what allows you to grow and be happy.
yes Jen. yes. I relate so much. I become a lot less close to my friends whenever they get into a r/s cause if they have problems they have their SO to talk to. so I do feel like I’m bothering them.
also, I don't know if this happen to you, but I'm always all ears for my close friends' relationship problems but when I'm trying to raise some perspective in another situation, they say I don't get it because I don't have a boyfriend. So frustrating!
We need a whole video on reaching out to ex-es during COVID. Lol. My ex broke up with me right when COVID was hitting waves in the US. But I agree that using this quarantine time to focus on ourselves is key for better relationships and friendships in the future! Loved this lunch break, so relatable!
Gone through a sudden breakup of a 2 years relationship when Covid started and also during the Australia bushfire. I begged him to come back because the fear of losing him are heightened due to all these bad things happening and ppl are dying. I’m a first line healthcare personnel and during these few months, I’ve started to realise someone who doesn’t fear losing me, doesn’t deserve me. It just hurts more when it’s a crush of 15 years and i thought “we” finally happened.
I'm guessing it's adaptive glasses? Cause at the end of the video his lenses were clear. But then again, I rmb he designed snap on sunglasses that'd fit his glasses a while back, so it could have been too bright since his windows are opposite him? (Idk could have seen it wrongly hahaha)
9:37 that's soo me! I always raise my hand and say "question!!" when I'm talking to my friends (in person or in video call) and they always look at me weird >.< Glad I'm not the only one!
I think Netflix dates are the way to go rn. I recently started dating a girl I met through the apps during the lockdown and we did about 2 weeks of Netflix dates before actually meeting up (I live in Australia ). Watching those shows also gave us conversation cues to discuss and some moments of silly banter as a result of what happned in the show. It really bonded up more than if we were just chatting of video calling without an 'activity'.
@@bwingbwinggwiyomi We were just messaging each other so we would be sending each other messages during the show. Towards the end of the 2 weeks we actually had trouble following the show because we spent too much time messaging each other.
DanakaDan!!! ... never seems to age O.o???? and i suddenly feel old cause i remember watching/listening to Stuntman on repeat back in highschool and now im a senior in college....
Dear Wes, I hope you find someong who would genuinely love you, your family and support your work. You really really are a catch and whoever be with you would be so lucky
Even before covid, for online dating, one thing I’ve been advised is to have a phone call or video call before meeting in person. It really does build rapport and u can kinda get a feel about the vibe btw the two ppl
From a gen z perceptive I think facetime dating was in away already a thing before covid 19. I feel like younger generations tend to do the whole snapchat, text, facetime, before actually going and investing themselves to a real date.
Me and this guy were Facebook friends for like 5 years but never met during those times. Now, the House party app helped us get reconnected. Now we been talking for almost 2 months now & we just had our first meeting a couple days ago. It was worth the wait. We just felt much more closer now.
Mel talking about wanting someone from her Korean dramas hit home! Hahaha! Sometimes you see character trait/s and you realize they're what you seek in others. Ideally what you want if you had the choice.
I thought the whole human contact thing was a joke, but about a month into quarentine, I definitely thought the cashier and I had a moment #singletingz😍✨
i don't think quarantine has done anything to my single lifestyle... i'm still fine alone and don't really desperately wish for a partner or a family... i think most of the time in my life i'm like "if it's gonna happen, then it's gonna happen" although i really can't picture a future with me having children though... who knows
Can you guys maybe try making a short film about a couple trying to maintain their relationship during quarantine, or even a single person trying to find a date during quarantine? It could be like in the style of the movie "Searching."
Melody's cute! Hope her perspectives aren't too tainted by Captain Ri to not like guys IRL though (hope girls at her level wouldn't all think "it's too much work" when we do connect tho) Also props to Dan for the wisdom, true that future gens or future dates may even have their first date standards dialed back, though I guess that's not always a bad thing? (though of course hoping less work =/= less commitment put forth)
Love this series but (and I mean no hate) what is the point in having the +1 members requesting what you guys should have for lunch if you're not going to do it?
So nice. I would like to have same videos in French haha. there is not a lot community like in America I think doing UA-cam like this 👍👍 thanks for the videos.
deciding if i really need a partner is my biggest issue man. I've been single forever now and it just feels so nice and comfortable i do not want to mess it up, but then again i worry that i will die alone and i don't want that. I have friends now but they won't have time to be with me forever. Idk it is rough, i also have this fear of not having enough to support my parents, like will i be able to take care of them by myself? I think i need a partner to help me - This is super selfish for the partner i guess but idk these are things that i care about
Personally, I can't wait for the day when we can "go out". I completely agree with Jenn and Melody that the going on a physical date process can be a lot! It can also be tiring to go on a lot of first dates because the others didn't click. But just like Dan said, that body language and those little quirks sooooo go a long way for attraction!
hello mwf, the quarantine time from when this was done to review what people usual ate - the vietnamese lunch idea was great - the salad with vermicelli with spring rolls is a fave. like how the spring rolls need a chopstick to pick-up without the fork to break the wrap. and, the noodle with chopsticks is old way. cooking at home is fun and probably would have made for vietnamese lunch - making pho - using pork broth, vermicelli, cilantro, onion, basil, sprout, and fish balls and lime juice. keep the body health good with soup and broth. the snack dan should have is rice crackers or green peas, dried tofu or shrimp chips, onion crackers or pineapple cakes (mini). elle for wish i was there
long distance date - on camera time or meeting were different. usual there is no time on cellphone on pic time - walking with talking or camera shy or have to fix your hair for long distance. was talking to my 80 yrs parents that if more users of stamps then the price would lower from 0.48 to 0.42 and practice typography. elle for ink pen
be careful to organic vegetables again - well vegetables like zucchini or eating an apple - am a leave the skin on girl from long time ago. milk at 4.50 for 1 gallon milk or 2.80 for 1 gallon milk also keeps me with 1 gallon at 2.80. should not worry the new of the zucchini or smaller ones.
listening to this episode, I feel like there is a business model where you can buy a date night care package for someone. Maybe a couple of different types, one with cute stuff animals, another for a romantic candle lights and scented oils etc.
as a single guy living by myself for quite a while, covid has shown me that I can live by myself for many years if I need to.
good for u for getting to that level of accepting the state of being single/alone 💕 its something im working towards
She's always pretty, but Jen looks especially gorgeous here.
yesss, I love her hair colour here! + her skin is looking so glowy & radiant as well! ✨💖
awww thanku bbs 🥺

Wow, I related so much to this
29 years and still never been in a relationship :D forever alone gang where you at
Same here this was meant to be the year it came togeather but instead I have been home for 3 months haha
Woooo! 👊🏽
I get a boba for everytime the one airpod comment is made 😤
me too. gimme
Jennifer Le that's gonna be 600 bobas soon 😂
You can't. You'll die...
Hey bae 😋
So do we make more airpod comments for you to get more boba? 😂
yes Jen. yes. I relate so much. I become a lot less close to my friends whenever they get into a r/s cause if they have problems they have their SO to talk to. so I do feel like I’m bothering them.

Especially while Lunch Breaks are done virtually, can we get a collab with TwoSetViolin?
I'm so down for this
I didn't know there were fellow Ling Ling wannabes!
Do you think they know who we are??
Taylor Chan probably, and if not they are usally pretty open, it would be an interesting conversation
@@taylorchan Yesss do it~~

I think Dan's default face is like this :D haha he keeps smiling, like after each word said his mouth goes back to the smiley :D he's so bright!!
I’m confused about Wes wearing sunglasses indoors 😂
Lolol I was wondering that too
On the bright side, the reflection gives another view of the room
I'm guessing it's adaptive glasses? Cause at the end of the video his lenses were clear. But then again, I rmb he designed snap on sunglasses that'd fit his glasses a while back, so it could have been too bright since his windows are opposite him? (Idk could have seen it wrongly hahaha)
The glasses are my own design called EYE Frames (jins.life/wes)
@@thewesleychan link doesn't work btw :(
Wes is the cool boi for wearing sunglasses😎orr he's hiding the pain behind those shades LOL
Wait hold up why is Wes rockin' the 1 earbud 1 airpod look LOL
They've explained this in past videos. One earphone is connected to the call, another is on the recording.
@@xxFutureAnimationsxx Fashion but also functionality, I love it
Don't forget the sunnies! 😎 It must be super bright as Wes' place 🤔
9:37 that's soo me! I always raise my hand and say "question!!" when I'm talking to my friends (in person or in video call) and they always look at me weird >.< Glad I'm not the only one!
same but now i've influenced all my friends to do this so it is no longer weird sksks
Mel, we all want a Captain Ri or Park Saeroyi☺️☺️☺️
This was super comprehensive and interesting. What a great discussion.

Dan and Mel have so much experience that I feel like Jenn and Wes barely talked :(
Dan helping to hype WongFu store and Melody's patreon just shows that being single is fine if your bro's got your back
DanakaDan!!! ... never seems to age O.o???? and i suddenly feel old cause i remember watching/listening to Stuntman on repeat back in highschool and now im a senior in college....
everyone watching this shipped them into couples
Dear Wes, I hope you find someong who would genuinely love you, your family and support your work. You really really are a catch and whoever be with you would be so lucky
Phượng Nguyễn Linh :)
Who else like me and Melody Cheng was surprised when Wes raised his hand about the dating App?😮😉
THIS VIDEO IS A WHOLE MOOD
Another great episode guys. Lovely honest conversation.
Ps. Who else was surprised by Wes raising his hand😮..I wonder wish app he's on😄
Even before covid, for online dating, one thing I’ve been advised is to have a phone call or video call before meeting in person. It really does build rapport and u can kinda get a feel about the vibe btw the two ppl
I was waiting for this episode!!!
Nice combo for this ep and great insights 🤗
Me: *pauses screen actively looking for a guy in a striped red and white hat and shirt in Wes's painting
Loved this ep and the insight into online dating during these quarantimes!
yay dan is back
From a gen z perceptive I think facetime dating was in away already a thing before covid 19. I feel like younger generations tend to do the whole snapchat, text, facetime, before actually going and investing themselves to a real date.
That's a good point, definitely more foreign territory for a millennial

8:22 Did Mel leave Dan hanging? Feels bad man
Mel talking about wanting someone from her Korean dramas hit home! Hahaha! Sometimes you see character trait/s and you realize they're what you seek in others. Ideally what you want if you had the choice.
Petitioning for an Official Wong Fu Discord Server for fans to meet and chat with each other!
hahahaha thanks for the inspo :D
Yesssss! I’ve been waiting!
just want to put it out there that I am also Steven Tran :)
This was deep, and insightful... Particularly the discussion on dating for future generations discussions... Hardcore
I thought the whole human contact thing was a joke, but about a month into quarentine, I definitely thought the cashier and I had a moment #singletingz😍✨
Single pre- and post- 😭
Literally SOML
single before quarantine, EVEN MORE single during and after quarantine. Dating apps have gotten worse for me and that makes no sense!
I’m sure many people will say the same, but... JEN I WILL GLADLY BE YOUR PARTNER 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
Lol. Nice juxtaposition.
Last week were those in relationships, today are the singles!
i don't think quarantine has done anything to my single lifestyle... i'm still fine alone and don't really desperately wish for a partner or a family... i think most of the time in my life i'm like "if it's gonna happen, then it's gonna happen" although i really can't picture a future with me having children though... who knows
the way the girls react to Dan at 11:30 is exactly how kdrama addicts watches kdrama
14:37 exactly. phone calls before meeting, a vibe check. mandatory. no exceptions. facts
Why is Dan recording from inside a nuclear bunker?
nnsiio he da bomb
I agree w Dan on the lowered standards bc of online dating!! tbh i wish it was more like the past, something’s lost when it‘s online
these are no longer lunch breaks.... these are hungry snack breaks
Single at 30 now 35 love my time alone still waiting for the right one when its meant to be then it will be just you and me.
Wes giving us sunglasses indoors. #mood
I made them myself (jins.life/wes)

I’ve never been this early!
Wes, the next time you visit Sydney and you’re still single, will you go out on a date with me?! 🏀
Jen where did you get your shirt? It’s so cute!
urban outfitters! 🌟

lmao jen’s reaction
Anyone SERIOUSLY confused by Wes wearing one wired earpod and one airpod??? 🤯 Like bro WDYM?!
b.c wes....is why not? LOL
best of both worlds.
It's been explained when they started doing the online lunch breaks.
It's plugged into two differen places. One on the call they're having so they can hear each other and another recording his face
Ship names in 3...2...1 Dannifer and Welody.
YES WES. THANK YOU FOR SINGLE BY 30!
he is so right
Were did Wes get that artwork? I would want a copy for myself. :)
jen is single? good to know....
What kind od dating apps do yall use
So bothered that I cant see wes eyes while he talks
I wonder why he’s wearing em
To keep himself a little mysterious for the day maybe 😂😂
Those are the EYE Frame glasses that I designed myself :D (jins.life/wes)
@@thewesleychan the link is broken!
@@karad.2473 Try this: jins.life/wes
I volunteer as tribute to go on a virtual date with Wes! 🙋♀️ ☺️😅
I already facetime the girl before i go on a physical firs date so it becomes less awkward
I recommend for everyone whose single watching the series-Dating Around in Netflix! It’s a great series.

yes Kdramaa, and what apps do you guys use??
New subscriber here! I love dating apps ❤️🤗
Jen cant be single that pretty and sweet 😊
Why does Wes have an Airpod in one ear and ear pods in the other?
HAHAHHA I’m so active on the dating apps now!!! Been going on zoom dates and even making videos out of it
Sam Elle how's it going? I'm too dang awks for video call dates lool
Nice idea for video content
Why is Wes wearing shades inside?? lol Cool guy. 😎
Why does Wesley have one ear with AirPods, and the other ear with an earpod (with cable)
one for audio, one for recording :]
I feel instanly in love with Dan 🤣
What kind of dating apps do you use that include FaceTime talking
Even with FaceTime dating seeming like less commitment, I'm better off single because I take everything to the max 💯
I'm single but im not looking for a partner so im using apps to find friends instead
how so?
Yes yes yes I'm finally early
listening to this episode, I feel like there is a business model where you can buy a date night care package for someone. Maybe a couple of different types, one with cute stuff animals, another for a romantic candle lights and scented oils etc.
The first few weeks I downloaded & deleted dating apps multiple times but ultimately I gave up bc I was more picky now than I was before 💀
What is a good dating site?
damn jen not on dating apps?
Wes, what happened to your glasses halfway the video!?😅
Heads-up over video chat.
Wes & Jen should be together. They would have good looking babies too, since they are both good looking
Why does Wes have one airpod and one wired headphone?
Why does Wes have two different type of earphones
