The Later Daters premiered on Friday, November 29, 2024. It showcased the stories of six older singles who wanted to give love another shot. One such individual was 62-year-old Anise, who aimed to find her perfect match on one of her blind dates. Although she was excited about her first date, George, it did not take long for her to realize he was not the one.
Anise participated in the social experiment to find her life partner. Her love life had taken the back seat ever since she lost her first husband and high school sweetheart in an accident. With the help of dating coach, Ury, Anise wanted to find someone who would appreciate her for who she was and not feel insecure because she had a doctorate.
The Later Daters star wanted to overcome her self-sabotaging tendencies and lead a steady love life. However, her hopes were crushed when she met her first date, George, in episode 1. Anise felt overwhelmed and could not wait for the date to end when George asked her if her three kids had the same father and if she had any cosmetic surgeries done.
The Later Daters fans flocked to X to comment on Anise's date with George. They criticized him for bombarding Anise with inappropriate questions and comments.
"This man George that Anise is on a date with is a big NO. Men age but stay the same lol smh. Glad she dipped out!! Lol," a fan wrote.
"So I started #TheLaterDaters and this guy who was on the date with Anise… ugh," another fan commented.
"Thank god Anise left George right where she found him. He is a MESS," a netizen tweeted.

"Aw nah! Get my girl Anise up outta there! She too fine for this man and he talking crazy. This first date is awful!" a user reacted.
"Oh my goodness George is absolutely disgusting! To be like that at 60 is horrible, no wonder he’s single. He’ll probably end up being a lonely old man in a nursing home b/c who tf would want to deal with that?! They owe Anise better dates asap cause that was horrid!" a person commented.
"I loveee #TheLaterDaters … but George has gotta go. Lol. Whose daddy is this embarrassing himself??" another fan wrote.

"My type of eye candy" — The Later Daters participant George comments on Anise's appearance
60-year-old George appeared on the show to fall "bats**t crazy in love" with someone. Divorced twice and single for seven years, George was ready to find his perfect match and start a life together. He was smitten when he saw Anise walk through the restaurant doors.
Anise's first impression of George was positive. The Later Daters star liked his appearance and said he seemed like a "nice guy." While speaking to the cameras, George shared his first impression of Anise.
"She's my kind of beautiful. That's all I can say. My type of eye candy," he said.
George and Anise started discussing interests and family dynamics. When Anise revealed she had three kids, George surprised her by asking if they had the same father. Although The Later Daters star laughed it off, she noted that the question was "awful."
Later, when the waiter asked if they wanted to try honey butter rolls, George said no, even though Anise was interested in trying them. During a confessional, Anise admitted that she was caught off guard by most of what George said.
George was shocked to discover Anise was two years older than him. Consequently, he asked if she "had any work done." At that point, Anise started feeling uncomfortable. Her discomfort deepened when George said:
"I like my women with a little ghetto in 'em."
When he said Anise would look "ghetto" in a blonde wig, Anise left the table and told the cameras that she was ready for the date to be over.
