Suzanne then went on her first blind date, which her daughter Allison was excited about. The date was with Frank, 63, an attorney. They talked about their work, getting their eyes checked, and many other things.
While Frank thought she was "classy and pretty, " the female participant referred to him as a "fun guy." After kissing Suzanne on the cheeks, Frank asked for her number. Soon, Suzanne's daughter, Allison, came to pick her up.
Suzanne and Allison video-called Logan to share their excitement, as she had a really good time during her date with Frank.

"My first impression of Anise is that she's really attractive, really full of life, and really successful. She's still trying to figure out what's her place in the world. And I want her to get more real, but I also understand why that doesn't feel safe for her," confessed Logan.
Anise got ready for her first blind date, where she had "concerns." However, she told the cameras that she was excited. She shared about putting Logan's dating advice "into practice."
