Lesbian Creates a Committee of Friends To Help Her Find Love“ I Couldn’t Trust My Own Decisions” [Video]

.

.

Meredith Morningstar’s sister once diagnosed her with a “broken picker” – meaning that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t seem to find the right person to be in a relationship with. Realizing her problem, Meredith decided to create “The Committee”, a group of friends led by her sister, who, unbeknownst to them, were tasked with screening all of Meredith’s potential partners. At one point, Meredith put a woman she had been casually dating for a year through this “gauntlet” of advisers. While Meredith found this woman to be fun company, one by one, The Committee all expressed their disapproval, culminating in the final decision of her sister: “You could do so much better.” Taking their advice, she stopped seeing this woman and eventually, with the help of her committee, fell for a “loving, energized creature” who treated her the way she deserved.

i’m meredith morningstar i’m originally
0:07
from dallas texas my sister
0:11
in her
0:13
eloquent way diagnosed me with a broken
0:16
picker that means that
0:19
i couldn’t pick the right person for a
0:21
relationship i had a history of proving
0:24
that
0:26
so
0:27
i created a committee because i couldn’t
0:29
trust my own decisions some very close
0:32
friends and my sister
0:35
now unbeknownst to them they were the
0:37
committee i would get back to them and
0:40
how do you like this person
0:42
and if
0:44
they got good feedback which most the
0:46
time they didn’t
0:48
um they got to go to the next one
0:51
and in some cases i imagined the
0:53
committee being almost like a gauntlet
0:57
i had been seeing this woman for about a
0:59
year
1:01
and i was laying it on i was
1:05
asking her out showing up dressing up
1:09
trying to do everything like i liked her
1:12
even though one of my friends had told
1:14
me
1:16
she dates
1:17
she doesn’t settle down another one of
1:19
my friends
1:20
we went to a party
1:23
and saw her
1:24
and my friend was like
1:27

1:29

1:34
so my 60th birthday was approaching and
1:36

1:57
day comes
1:59
she shows up at the door
2:02
with a massive amount of balloons
2:05

2:22
there the party winds down my sister and
2:24
i are cleaning up after the party
2:27
i don’t really know where this woman is
2:29
she stays the night the next morning my
2:32
sister and i get up we’re making coffee
2:35
and talking about breakfast we’re kind
2:36
of milling about and
2:39
she’s just kind of wandering around this
2:41
woman
2:42
and promptly
2:45
she decides to leave
2:47
i walk her to the door
2:49
as i’m turning around walking back from
2:51
the door my sister gets in my face and
2:54
she says you could do so much better
2:59
so
3:01
that was three strikes
3:05
she had gone through the committee
3:07
and everybody on the committee said no
3:10
well the final straw was
3:12
the queen of the committee my birthday
3:14
was like the next day
3:16
and this woman and i had made
3:18
arrangements to go out to dinner
3:21
but i called her in less than 24 hours
3:24
of my sister being in my face
3:27
and i said
3:29

3:31
all got hurt
3:33

4:27
my picker’s no longer broken
4:29
i found myself
4:30
no longer
4:32
being drawn
4:34
to the bad one
4:36
i found myself being drawn
4:40
to a loving energized
4:43
creature with the help of the committee
4:46
just giving me feedback
4:49
about no you’re making another bad
4:51
decision
4:53
never saying those words just going
4:57
that i’ve i don’t know i just started
5:00
looking somewhere else
5:02
so if
5:03
i were talking to someone
5:06
who
5:07
was in or is in
5:09
the same kind of cycle that i was in or
5:13
whatever their cycle is and they want to
5:15
break it
5:16
it’s like i’m always meeting the same
5:18
person you know it’s like
5:21
well
5:22
are you always going to the same places
5:24
to meet them maybe you ought to go
5:25
somewhere else what are the things that
5:27
you really like to do
5:30
go do those things and open your eyes
5:32
and look around there
5:35
maybe you’ll find something there
5:37
if you go to a party
5:40
and immediately your eyes are drawn
5:43
to that person
5:45
that is just like all those others
5:48
look the other way
5:50
look somewhere else just
5:53
