We're just going to give you some scenarios. You just have to say what you would do in this in this situation. Pretty simple, right? Okay, here we go. What would Tyler do? You get stood up on a first date.

Tyler Posey

I would probably give them the benefit of the doubt. Um, Okay. Cuz I mean I've been I've been known to not really stand people up on dates, but be a little flaky when it comes to making plans. I understand that things can get in the way. But I'd probably ask about it. I'd be like, hey, did you not want to did you not want to meet up is I'd be really honest.

Young Hollywood

Maybe she was late because she had to pick up her grandma from soccer practice or something. Being understanding is a good quality. So I like that. Okay, next one. You're crushing on a co-worker.

Tyler Posey

I've fallen in love with co-workers before and and and pursued it. What's nice about that is that you really kind of I say take your time because if you if you're crushing on a co-worker, definitely take your time because you get to be around them all the time no matter what. Um and so you kind of get to build a little friendship beforehand and um and then and then that makes it all all the sweeter when when you actually do start dating. Um so take your time, but don't hold yourself back. Definitely try to pursue it if you're really feeling it unless your boss says no. But if they're more if they're worth it more than the job, go for it.

Young Hollywood

I like the advice Tyler. Okay, next one. You're being ghosted by someone you really like. This happens to some of our fans, so. What would you do?

Tyler Posey

I I would understand. I'd be like, okay, you obviously don't want to

Young Hollywood

You're just so understanding about everything, Tyler.

Tyler Posey

Well, you got to be, man. You know, you're going to drive yourself crazy. Like if if somebody's ghosting me, I'm like, okay, well you obviously don't care for me. I'm not going to like drive myself crazy by pursuing you and and pursuing something that's that that isn't going to fulfill me or or make me happy. Move on. Move on. There's 7 billion people in the world. I doubt that the one that you're chasing that doesn't want you back is the right one.

Young Hollywood

7 billion. Yeah. channel the world. Someone's out there. There you go. True. Okay, you screenshot a conversation and send it back to that person.

Tyler Posey

I'd be like, whoa, oops. Uh, at least at least it's all out in the open. Yeah, you got to own it. There's something really nice about getting something off of your chest. And if it happens the wrong way or the way that you didn't intend it, then at least it's still happened and just roll with it, you know. I it's a lot more attractive and endearing if you're honest with it. If you're like, oops, uh, I do really like you. I did not mean to send that. I'm very sorry. Do you want to go on a second date? I would find that pretty endearing.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, it's endearing, right?

Tyler Posey

Yeah, I think so. A little bit messy, but it's it's fun. Keeps it fun. Messy's cute, you know. You don't want Messy's cute. You got You got to You got to love the flaws, too.

Young Hollywood

This guy over here. Okay, last one. You have feelings for a friend and worry it will ruin the friendship by taking the extra step. What would you do? I'm going to assume you're going to say, well, I'd just be understanding and be honest.

Tyler Posey

Be very understanding. Actually, I wouldn't be understanding at all. No. No, just joking. This actually happened to me with the girl that I'm dating right now.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Tyler Posey

Uh, yeah, we became really good friends on this movie that we were doing. And she and I just kind of clung to each other. And didn't by any means think of hooking up during the during the shoot. I didn't want to I didn't want to mess up the friendship. Okay. I thought she was so, so, so cool. Um, and just a great person to hang out with. And I liked her a lot. Yeah. And I was a little nervous kind of going for it cuz I didn't know if she did and I didn't want to mess up the relationship. This is a tricky one cuz like, if you're honest with them, you'd be like, hey, I really like you. And they don't like you back, that would make that would the relationship would feel different. It would. So, I guess my advice is if you got if you if you really like this person, you don't want to mess up the relationship and the friendship, you kind of have to make sure that they're on the same page as you. If they like you back, then go for it. But if if if they don't and the relationship is is too good to mess up, then then kind of just take it day by day. Be be really good friends. Like I said, there's 7 billion people in the world. Let's bring that fact back. We'll have it like right here. 7 billion people.

Young Hollywood

7 billion. That's nuts. You know what I just realized, too? You're a Libra. You're really close to Scorpio, too, because October 18. And that's my girlfriend, she's a Scorpio. That's why you guys work out. Cuz it's so close. But anyways,

Tyler Posey

Is that true?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. But I was going to say because you're a Libra, that makes sense why you're so understanding. You like to keep a balance, the whole thing. Balance. We're going to have a whole long conversation about this another time, because I want to talk to you about that. But I think it's I mean we kind of have dived into this a little bit sometimes. And third eyes.

Tyler Posey

Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. I would love to I it's you know what? It's been a while since I've had that type of talk. And it's therapeutic.

Young Hollywood

It is, right? It opens up your third eye more.

Tyler Posey

Young Hollywood

Tyler Posey

Mine is too. Really? So I'm feeling very relaxed and

Young Hollywood

Nice. Yeah. I love it.
