00:00Previously on Ready to Live.
00:02You guys are body painting today.
00:05I'm nervous.
00:06What are you drawing?
00:07Is it a name?
00:08Mm-hmm.
00:14As a man that's trying to grow with someone,
00:16I'm still team Tay.
00:17Like, I see me and her together.
00:19What do not know that everybody else know?
00:21I spent some time in a group home.
00:23That was from the age of 13 to college.
00:26That was a long time.
00:27It made me want to love on this man.
00:29You cool with, like, all your exes, right?
00:31Yeah.
00:32Like, I can see where that would go.
00:34Is that really an issue for you?
00:35Oh, my God.
00:36It would be an issue.
00:37Eddie and I, it wouldn't be a connection for me.
00:40Who are you no longer connecting with?
00:42I'm going to have to go with Fritz.
00:44The whole polygamy thing, you know, the girls got together.
00:48Hold on, hold on.
00:49The ladies were like...
00:51I know it took me some time to get to the place that you wanted me to be.
01:00Oh, but now I'm ready.
01:04I'm ready for your love.
01:08You told me we was good, but I don't really know if that's the truth.
01:16Oh, we good.
01:17You're telling me...
01:18Sarah.
01:19...that you said nothing bad about me in your deliberation.
01:21I did you wrong in that capacity.
01:23The ladies brought up, you're drinking.
01:26When I'm out socializing for the most part, I like a drink.
01:29But I haven't been drunk on this show yet.
01:32Had you been holding yourself accountable from the beginning,
01:36we wouldn't be having this conversation.
01:38And what conversation are we having?
01:40The conversation where the ladies feel like they're not ready to love.
01:46The shoe drops.
01:47The cookie crumbled.
01:49Even though Sahara clearly not my cup of tea,
01:52and Tommy's fault.
01:54I shouldn't have gotten to the way I did.
01:56I thought we was good.
01:57I put it there when you first came in, but you know.
01:59I should have just quietly put her in my bottom,
02:02but not make a mockery of it.
02:04That was my downfall.
02:11We don't feel at this moment that you're ready to love.
02:18I got respect there.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Honestly, I didn't expect to go home so soon.
02:22Your boy's supposed to be at the end.
02:23You know what I mean?
02:24But things happen.
02:25You know, women, they made their decision.
02:27You know, I got to live with it.
02:29I appreciate you dropping that news on me.
02:31I'm going to take it in.
02:32I appreciate you taking it so well.
02:34Like, everybody won't take this well.
02:35I learned that I can be a closed book.
02:37You got to open up.
02:38I'm definitely going to find a level.
02:39I'm ready to build this legacy.
02:40Yeah, it's putty Jones in this city.
02:41You know what I mean?
02:42Keep fishing.
02:44��만
02:45Good to see you, brother.
02:46Good to see you.
02:48Good to see you all.
02:49You got color, man.
02:50Good to see you too, brother.
02:51Cut to you, brother.
02:52Great.
02:53Just what you're saying.
02:54Good heart, yeah, good.
02:55Good heart.
02:56Doingworks.
02:57We are down to six men, man, and this is crazy, I can't believe it, but I can't worry about
03:18that too much.
03:19Gotta put it in my rear view and go forward on my journey.
03:22Jay!
03:23How you?
03:24Good to see you, man.
03:25Hey, Jay.
03:26Welcome back, fellas.
03:27How y'all feeling?
03:28Feeling good.
03:29Feeling a little tight today, eh?
03:31Taking a quick look around, man.
03:32Look like our numbers getting smaller and smaller.
03:34It's getting tight.
03:35That's exactly how it works.
03:37So over the past few weeks, we talked a lot about the future.
03:41But this week, this is about looking at the past.
03:45I want you to meet their exes.
03:48Ooh.
03:51This is new territory for me.
03:53I usually wouldn't do this.
03:54But it's always good to get a perspective of somebody that was in a relationship with
03:58him.
03:59I should learn a lot this week.
04:00Meeting these women's exes gives you instant comparison of the woman she was before and
04:05the woman that she is now.
04:07Those men, they what?
04:08They exes.
04:09And they exes for a reason.
04:11Ooh.
04:12All right.
04:13You got your assignment?
04:14I'm going to catch y'all back here at the end of the week.
04:15I got it.
04:16All right, man.
04:17Be careful.
04:18Some of them exes will whoop your ass.
04:19They still mad about a lot of things.
04:21Oh, man.
04:22I think the only thing that really has me nervous, hearing something I don't want to hear.
04:26You know?
04:27But at the same time, I'm here to hear it.
04:29Yeah, let's do this.
04:30Get out of here.
04:31Don't get in no fights with the exes, y'all.
04:34I see who you are, baby, don't be shy.
04:40Today I'll meet Angie's ex.
04:42Angie became a connection for me at the block party.
04:44Me and her connection is definitely growing.
04:46And I'm just hoping after this meet the ex that it just continues to do that.
04:49Hey, guys.
04:50Hey, guys.
04:51How y'all doing?
04:52Hey, boo.
04:53What's up?
04:54What's up, man?
04:55How you doing?
04:56Nice to meet you.
04:57Hussein.
04:58Nice to meet you.
04:59Hussein is meeting my son's father, Jamal.
05:00And I am just a tad bit nervous.
05:02Because it will actually be the first time that we've ever done something like that.
05:06Y'all get to see each other often?
05:07Or?
05:08No.
05:09Only when it's time to pick up and drop off.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Oh.
05:12Your son.
05:13Your son?
05:14Uh-huh.
05:15Oh.
05:16So let's reshape that.
05:17Hussein, what's up, man?
05:18Oh, yeah.
05:19It's definitely a first.
05:20Yeah.
05:21Oh, let me get that sweat off.
05:22All right.
05:23I do have more than one connection.
05:25And I feel like at this point, Hussein and I have grown very strong.
05:29So that's why I chose him for this.
05:31As far as you guys' relationship, what was the factor that drove y'all to a split?
05:36No.
05:37Don't look at me.
05:38I know what it is.
05:39I think it was, I'm going to say communication.
05:41He told me, like, listen, like, you make me feel not wanted, like, because you always
05:47think you can do it yourself.
05:48All the time.
05:49All the time.
05:50When at the end of the day, what?
05:52Yeah.
05:53No.
05:54Because I got a story off of that.
05:56When she was in labor, she drove herself to the hospital.
05:59I'm like, I got it.
06:00She like, no, I got it.
06:01She drove herself to the hospital.
06:03Ooh.
06:04I did?
06:05It ain't had nothing to do with you.
06:07I feel in the passenger seat while she's in labor driving herself to the hospital.
06:11Yeah, no, I get that definitely on, you know, the male side.
06:14That's something that's, you know, probably going to resonate and sit with you.
06:18I think I just wanted her to let me lead a little more.
06:21I'm sorry.
06:23It's just as good for men just in general.
06:25Let a man lead.
06:26Like, you don't have to be strong all the time.
06:28I get it sometimes, but allow a man to be a man, you know, just allow that.
06:33One of the things I walked away from this date, you know, knowing about Angie, is that she might
06:36ask her man to do something, but she's definitely going to jump right to it and do it herself.
06:40I'm used to being in control.
06:41That was definitely a red flag.
06:43I'll talk to you later, all right?
06:44All right, call me.
06:45I'm around.
06:46All right, nice meeting you, man.
06:47Nice to meet you.
06:48I definitely got some information to go back to the vault with.
06:51I am about to meet up with Jay to introduce him to my ex, Jules.
07:04And I am scared.
07:06Hello.
07:07Hey.
07:08How you doing?
07:09I'm good.
07:10We did try to date one time.
07:12It didn't work out.
07:13So I decided that we would be best as friends.
07:16And that's kind of where we are.
07:19So you've known me my whole life.
07:21Your whole life?
07:22Yes, you have.
07:23Okay.
07:24I feel like you have my best interest at heart.
07:26Only always.
07:27Okay.
07:28Um, I would like you to meet the person that I feel like I'm connected with on this journey.
07:35You sure?
07:36I'm sure.
07:38So today I'm meeting Kiara X.
07:41My strategy is just to go in there, hear the guy out, and really dissect the information
07:46I get.
07:47Hey, hey, hey.
07:48How you?
07:49How you?
07:50How you, bro?
07:51Jay.
07:52Make sure it aligns with what she's telling me.
07:53And is it suitable for something I want to go forward with?
07:55Hey, how you?
07:56I'm interested to see what type of guys Kiara is into.
07:58He could be a clown.
07:59He could be a goofy.
08:00You know what I mean?
08:01Or he could be like me, a thoroughbred.
08:02Babe was more excited to see me.
08:04I know that for sure.
08:05So, uh, yeah, bro.
08:06So what happened between y'all two?
08:08All right.
08:09So long story longer.
08:10When we were younger, she had a little crush on me.
08:13Right?
08:14Mm-hmm.
08:15Now, of course, she was a couple years younger than my younger sister.
08:18So there's no moves to be made at that time.
08:20Right.
08:21So I always kept my eye on her.
08:23You know what I'm saying?
08:24Like, when the opportunity presented itself, once she became of age, I hopped on that joint.
08:29She had a crush on you when she was little, but y'all nine years apart.
08:33So when she was nine, you was 18.
08:35So the math wasn't math for me.
08:37So tell me about yourself, man.
08:38Like, what you think the connection is between you and Kiara?
08:41You're smiling.
08:44I'm going to tell you a little bit, but I want to hear from you for sure, because you're giving me the insight that I never knew.
08:48As you've seen it, though, she a beautiful person, as you know.
08:51Oh, of course.
08:52She got the swag.
08:53I love the bougie.
08:54That bougie stuff is what it is.
08:56What makes you ruby the wrong way about the bougie thing?
08:58Because I feel like being bougie is a mindset.
09:00You're talking about somebody that knew her before she even knew that word.
09:03She was a humble little servant in church.
09:05I was never given humble words.
09:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:08You're right.
09:09You're right.
09:10She was a humble person.
09:11I was a humble servant of the church.
09:14Serving of the church.
09:15Serving of the church.
09:16I was definitely into church.
09:17Yeah, church.
09:18That makes sense.
09:19Okay.
09:20And then there was a time where it just kind of, like, faded away.
09:24What are you trying to get at that?
09:25Oh, she used to be this sweet old girl.
09:27Now she this cocky girl with money.
09:29Like, come on, bro.
09:30Nah, she left you behind.
09:32That's what's going on.
09:33Ultimately, at the end of the day, I just want to see her happy.
09:35And if seeing her happy is not being with me.
09:38Although that's a mad dagger dog.
09:40That's a dagger.
09:41That's a mad pill swallow.
09:42That's big, Joe.
09:43That's a big old horse pill, man.
09:44So you feel like you've been holding on for that many years?
09:46When you like somebody and you have a crush on them, it never go away.
09:49Jules is failing me.
09:52All I asked was make sure Jay's good for me.
09:55Not try to prove how much you love me and how materialistic I am.
10:00That's not what I asked for.
10:02At all.
10:03I'm not gonna lie, like, and say, like, I don't have feelings for her anymore.
10:06You know what I mean?
10:07Like, I definitely got feelings for the girl.
10:08Like, duh.
10:09I'm here.
10:10Just so we clear.
10:11Okay.
10:12I heard it.
10:13All right.
10:14So your job here is to be vetting him for me to make sure that he's the right match for me.
10:19So Jules is definitely someone that I always have to remind that they are in the friend zone.
10:24We are friends.
10:25You are my homie, my dog.
10:26We gang, gang.
10:27That's it.
10:28That's all.
10:29One of my philosophies that I live with is that as long as you're living, you always have
10:33opportunity.
10:34So take advantage of whatever opportunity that life gives you.
10:38have to remind that they are in the friend zone.
10:41We are friends, you are my homie, my dog, we gang gang.
10:46That's it, that's all.
10:48One of my philosophies that I live with
10:49is that as long as you living, you always have opportunity.
10:52So take advantage of whatever opportunity
10:55that life gives you.
10:56So you willing to wait until 80 if it take the chance?
10:58Like, you don't just got one crush.
11:01You got more than one crush.
11:02Like, I'm not an idiot, you know what I'm saying?
11:03That's your top crush.
11:05Yeah, that man still got feelings.
11:06Jewel still has feelings for Kiera and he tripping.
11:08He told me he gonna wait till he 80.
11:10It must be a drought for that man.
11:11He must not got nothing in the tuck,
11:13no more numbers on his phone.
11:15It's just like, it's just Kiera since she was nine, bro.
11:18Like, bro, come on, what are you doing?
11:20Analysis, bro.
11:22Hopefully, brother, man.
11:23I just want you to know the new her and not the old her.
11:27Period.
11:28Yeah.
11:29I don't think you can accept the new her just yet.
11:30You trying to wrap your head around it,
11:32but it's like the humble serving is still
11:33at the top of your brain.
11:34No, no, no, no.
11:36You might be getting this version of her.
11:37I experienced my version of her.
11:39It may make me fall in love with her even that much more
11:42when I got to spend some quality time with her.
11:44I basically wish you the best.
11:46My takeaway from the date, it just made me look at her
11:49as far as this your friend, this your guy, this your ex.
11:53Just like that man by the wayside.
11:55If you a pest and a nuisance and you ain't trying
11:57to swat that fly, then I'm gonna move,
12:00I'm gonna go ahead and handle my business elsewhere.
12:02He not about to be an issue for me.
12:10So this week, the men, we hold the power and we've been assigned
12:13with me and our connections ex.
12:15What's up, brother?
12:16How you doing, man?
12:17How you doing?
12:18This is Cisco.
12:19Shanice has definitely caught my eye from the beginning.
12:22And then also after body painting,
12:25Shanice is definitely moving up.
12:27We've been working out and , you know what I mean?
12:29It's all right, though.
12:30Francisco is meeting my ex, Augie.
12:32He's the only person I felt like would actually
12:35participate in a healthy way.
12:37I don't think anybody else would even
12:38do it without probably punching Cisco in the face.
12:41Aw, .
12:42Here we go.
12:50It's definitely important to know a woman's past.
12:53You want to know where a woman comes from,
12:54and if she has a history of doing anything
12:57a little bit crazy or whatnot.
12:59Better smile, boy.
13:00But when I walk into the date, I only see Sahara sitting there,
13:04and I'm just like, what's going on?
13:06OK, so.
13:08What's up?
13:09As you can see, there's nobody there.
13:12OK.
13:12I don't have exes.
13:15One of my exes passed away.
13:16OK.
13:17He was like my ex, but he was kind of like my best friend,
13:19too.
13:20Yeah, no, I get that.
13:21So it was rough.
13:22So when Sahara explains to me why there was no ex on the date,
13:25I don't know.
13:26I kind of felt bad for her, because who shows up for her?
13:30But I'm here today to answer anything
13:33and if she would be age enough.
13:34Oh, you better.
13:35I'm asking all the questions now.
13:36All right, go on then.
13:37Let's go.
13:38All right.
13:39Just to get this started, there's
13:40a lot of testosterone at this table.
13:41Whew.
13:42We dated back when I was in college.
13:44Where did it go wrong?
13:45Like, what was the main issue that caused
13:47a split between you two?
13:48Niece had ambition, and she was traveling.
13:52So I wasn't really traveling back then.
13:54I wasn't ready.
13:55And I admit that.
13:56Time is everything.
13:57You know what I mean?
13:58And it's, you know, my time is over, right?
14:00And we just stayed friends.
14:01I mean, good friends.
14:02I mean, I see the chemistry.
14:04I mean, should I be worried?
14:07No.
14:08What things did you learn from your past relationships
14:11that you're going to bring into your new relationships?
14:14I learned that I love unconditional.
14:18It's not much that you can do that'll make me leave, right?
14:23And that might not be the best thing.
14:27But it shows that you were like a ride or die.
14:29Like, that you're willing to work through problems
14:31to be with your person.
14:32Yeah.
14:33I'm tired of riding and dying.
14:36I don't want to ride and die.
14:38I want to ride and live.
14:41I feel like my ex, he used to just handle me so rough
14:45because he felt like I could take it.
14:47And I can, but it's like, bro, like, do you or not?
14:51What's wrong with you?
14:53You know, like, he just felt like I was unbreakable.
14:55Like, nothing hurt my feelings.
14:57Like, she's just so strong.
14:58She's so tough.
14:59You're still a lady.
15:00You still got to be treated.
15:01That's what I'm saying.
15:02Like, I can handle her this way.
15:03I think people take advantage of that.
15:05I think this is, like, the first time
15:07that she really opened up to me about her feelings
15:10as far as her past and as far as, like,
15:12the struggles that she went through.
15:14I feel honored to, like, get that out of her
15:17because she doesn't break down for everybody.
15:20I'm going to start being weak.
15:21I'm going to be a little distressed.
15:22Y'all don't got to.
15:23I'm going to have to.
15:24So y'all then start treating me a little bit softer.
15:26Or just find somebody that's going to shoot you soft
15:28no matter what.
15:30This is such an authentic person.
15:32That was one of the best qualities I saw as well,
15:34but also her spiritual side.
15:36Just how she would notice when I'd be kind of down
15:38and she'll come over and just be like,
15:40are you okay?
15:41You want to talk?
15:42You know, matter of fact,
15:43let me just pray for you real quick.
15:44Like, I've never really experienced something like that.
15:46So that side is another side of, uh...
15:50Of her that I...
15:51Oh, you're going to make me cry.
15:52You never know if someone's noticing about you around here.
15:54Yeah.
15:55It's a few potentials that have caught my eye.
15:58She's definitely one.
15:59He said a few.
16:01Who are those people?
16:02Listen, I struggled with that in the beginning
16:04because when I lock in,
16:06I lock in with who I like,
16:08and everybody else is non-existent.
16:10It's no secret that, you know,
16:11I kind of locked in with Tay.
16:13What does Tay look like?
16:16Tay's cute.
16:17Okay.
16:18No, she's beautiful.
16:19Okay, thank you.
16:20Cisco emphasizing Tay
16:22and the comment about her beauty to me,
16:24that's just rude.
16:25I'm definitely never letting anybody
16:27talk to me about another woman like that.
16:29But I'm not, um...
16:31What did I say last?
16:32Tay's name was brought up during this date.
16:34I didn't like it.
16:35And to say that she's cute?
16:37Nah, man.
16:38We all know she's beautiful.
16:39So I just had to let it be known,
16:40like, you know,
16:41don't come for Tay like that.
16:43She can say, oh, who's Tay?
16:44But I can say, who's Fritz, right?
16:46That was her number one, right?
16:47So, you know,
16:48you just have to respect the process
16:50and not take anything personal.
16:52Argue, he had nothing but great things
16:53to say about Shawnice,
16:54but the connection me and Tay got,
16:56you know, strong as well.
16:57I got some hard decisions to make.
17:01Even though I didn't get a chance
17:02to meet your ex,
17:03I appreciate you for inviting me out.
17:05Yeah.
17:06You always have a good time.
17:07I tried.
17:08Always, always.
17:09You know, I ride with you definitely.
17:11Sahara's an open book.
17:12All you gotta do is ask her,
17:13and she's gonna tell you.
17:14So even though the ex wasn't there,
17:16I probably learned more about her now
17:18than any other time.
17:20Give me a hug, girl.
17:21Why don't you grab the cheek real quick?
17:23I ain't grabbing her.
17:27Everything lit.
17:29Everybody's sipping, getting bit.
17:31Fellas better buy yourself a chick.
17:33Ladies by the men.
17:34We gon' turn up, that's a plan.
17:36Turner's got it so high.
17:37I'm Kaylee, this is Hussain.
17:38What's up, Kaylee?
17:39Mom, nice to meet you.
17:40Rose is definitely one of my top picks.
17:42After that last date,
17:43I feel like we had real good conversation.
17:45The eyes were definitely locked.
17:47I'm gonna get some new information today,
17:48but hopefully it's all a plus,
17:49and we can continue on this road that we're on.
17:51Look at you.
17:52Check you out in the lime green.
17:53You know, I said let me shine, baby.
17:56Let me let my light shine.
17:57I didn't see you today.
17:58Kaylee is not the father of my child.
18:00Kaylee came way after.
18:02We started out as friends.
18:04We've known each other for almost 13 years.
18:06Even though we didn't work,
18:08we're still, like, so cool.
18:10I wouldn't have anybody else here other than him.
18:13So did y'all kiss yet?
18:14No, we haven't got to that yet.
18:16I know.
18:17I had to ask.
18:18Believe it or not, Hussain and I are actually, like,
18:21being good.
18:22We're taking this process very serious.
18:24Kim.
18:25What's up?
18:26Kim.
18:27So I walk into the date and I see Rose, her ex,
18:29and then Hussain sitting at the table.
18:30I thought it was gonna be just me and Rose and her ex,
18:33but, you know, we gonna see how it go.
18:34Kaylee, this is Kim.
18:35Nice to meet you.
18:36Rose, she's definitely one of my connections,
18:38so I'm excited to see how she is in relationships.
18:41She seems like she could do no wrongs.
18:43I want to dig up some dirt on her a little bit.
18:45So prior to us dating, we were friends for, like, what, 13 years?
18:48Yeah, that's my answer.
18:49And then we just started dating October last year.
18:51So tell us about y'all relationships.
18:52So what would you say was, like, some of the challenges?
18:54What made it difficult for me is my timing.
18:57I got three kids.
18:59I couldn't reciprocate everything that she needs.
19:03And that's the ultimate reason why y'all didn't work out,
19:06because you couldn't give me full attention to each other.
19:08Yeah, so knowing that her and Kaylee were cool before
19:10and after they dated is really not an issue with me,
19:12because I'm a strong believer in friendship,
19:14as long as they just keep it at that, a friendship.
19:16It's a little weird.
19:26I mean, it's definitely awkward to meet somebody's ex.
19:29Oh, my boy. That's good.
19:31So when I arrive, I see Tay sitting there.
19:36I see Francisco sitting there, but I don't see an ex.
19:39So I'm confused.
19:41Well, I'm so happy that both of y'all made it.
19:43Likewise.
19:45Appreciate that.
19:46When Kaylee shows up to the date, I was taken back a bit.
19:48But listen, if she is developing more of a connection with Kaylee,
19:51he's a formidable opponent.
19:53Well, today, y'all was supposed to meet my ex.
19:56But unfortunately, he couldn't make it.
19:57I really did try.
19:58I reached out to a few of my exes,
20:00and they're currently in relationships, which I have to respect.
20:03Yeah, sure.
20:04OK.
20:05But today, I'm going to be extremely open and honest with you.
20:09So anything that you would have asked him,
20:11please be welcome to ask me.
20:12Oh, perfect.
20:13Back.
20:14Right.
20:16The first thing I want to know is what you don't like.
20:19With snoring.
20:20Oh, snoring?
20:21Yes.
20:22Oh, that's a deal breaker?
20:23I mean, I...
20:25What's wrong with snoring?
20:26I snore.
20:27How loud?
20:28See?
20:30See?
20:31We going to have problems.
20:32What was that one thing that just nagged you, bro?
20:34Like, you know...
20:35I want to know that, too.
20:36I can't say too many bad things about her.
20:38But sometimes, like, say if I was sick or something,
20:42she's so caring and so loving.
20:45You know, times when you be like, I'm good.
20:47She's like, you know what you need?
20:48You need something?
20:49I'm good.
20:50I moved to the left.
20:51You all right?
20:52Trust me.
20:53I'm good.
20:54So me and Hussein kept trying to ask Kaylynn,
20:56what does Rosie need to work on?
20:57What's her bad?
20:58And he was just saying, like,
20:59oh, she's caring too much sometimes.
21:01I'm like, bro, nobody's that perfect.
21:03Oh, she's too caring.
21:04Like, come on, bro.
21:05She's a good woman right here.
21:07How do you typically deal with, like, conflict in a relationship?
21:10I can be, like, defensive.
21:11Like, in the beginning, I'd be like, why you...
21:13I feel like I'm being attacked.
21:14Like, you don't got to yell at me, like...
21:17What is something that would probably make you, uh,
21:20pull away from a relationship?
21:21Like, if I'm saying something to someone,
21:23and I feel as though I'm not being hurt.
21:24Okay.
21:25If you're acting weird to me,
21:27like, and very distant to me,
21:28and I'm trying to talk to you,
21:29and I'm trying to communicate with you...
21:30Yeah.
21:31So I'm gonna match your energy.
21:32Sure.
21:33So that's gonna definitely make me pull away.
21:34So I want to actually dig deeper into, like,
21:36and y'all a little bit.
21:37Okay.
21:38Because as far as, like,
21:39the whole church and spirituality thing,
21:41is that something that you need from a partner?
21:43Yes, that is actually something that I need from a partner.
21:46Okay.
21:47So would you go to church?
21:49Would I go to church?
21:50Uh...
21:51It's...
21:52It's...
21:53I don't know.
21:54Like, I'm not, like...
21:55I'm not opposed to it.
21:56Like, I would never step.
21:57So you could donate a Sunday, though.
21:59Like, you could.
22:00Like, you know what?
22:01Just compromise.
22:02Yeah, that's it.
22:03Like, it's about compromise.
22:04He can attest.
22:05I am the most understanding, down-the-earth woman
22:07you will ever meet in your life.
22:09Yeah.
22:10Yeah.
22:11Okay.
22:12She kind of, like, downplayed it and said,
22:13oh, she's open-minded.
22:14She doesn't need me to do that.
22:15But hearing that from a friend,
22:17I have to question if she's being 100% truthful to me.
22:20I gotta start figuring out, you know, if we really fit.
22:24I got an event to get to, so I'm gonna handle that.
22:26Yo, definitely.
22:27Nice meeting you, bro.
22:28I appreciate it.
22:29So after the meet-the-ex date,
22:30I felt like he sold us a great brand-new car.
22:33Everything was just too good to be true.
22:35That just told me that I just needed to do
22:36a little more exploring with her.
22:39I got a question for you.
22:41On a slow week, how often y'all was having sex?
22:43Oh.
22:44Oh.
22:45In the beginning?
22:46In the beginning, you know, it was on the popping.
22:49Yeah, yeah.
22:50You know what I'm saying?
22:51You know, I...
22:53That was a good question, bro.
22:55She starts speaking her own language out here.
22:57She made up her own...
22:59I'm definitely still in the Tay.
23:03We haven't really got to a sexual connection yet,
23:05but there's definitely something there.
23:07I'm definitely attracted to her.
23:08I would like to get to that point eventually, hopefully.
23:10I was a third wheel in this drawing, like...
23:13No, you wasn't.
23:14By the end of the date, man,
23:16I'm still Team Tay,
23:17but I'll be lying if I say I'm not concerned.
23:20I was noticing the body positioning for her,
23:22and I was just like,
23:23, like, focus on Khalil the whole time.
23:25I just have to remain true to the process
23:27and know deep down inside
23:28that the connection me and Tay got is strong
23:30and can withstand this.
23:31Let's blow this hot dog's dead.
23:33Let's do it next time.
23:34The bill on you.
23:47So this week, I have set up a date with Angie to meet her ex.
23:54I'm definitely excited to learn more
23:56about how she is in past relationships
23:58and things that she needs to work on,
24:00so I want to see if we can use something
24:02that's good for each other.
24:04Well, it's good to see you.
24:05I know, finally.
24:06I know you've been hired from me.
24:07Oh, man.
24:08I'm hot.
24:09Yeah, I'm hot.
24:10Oh, okay.
24:11You like what you see, though.
24:12I love it.
24:13Love it.
24:14Strong word.
24:16You're gonna be saying that to anyone.
24:18I'm trying.
24:19I like the confidence, though.
24:20I like it, though.
24:21So going into this date,
24:22Cam and I just started this connection
24:24at the block party.
24:25You should've...
24:26You should've...
24:27You should've been in my face right over here.
24:29The chemistry is electrifying,
24:32but we just started it.
24:33I gotta meet somebody, right?
24:35Yes.
24:36Yeah.
24:37Who am I meeting?
24:38Um, we not.
24:40Cam is not meeting my son's dad
24:42because I have not been able to dive in
24:45and pull back layers with Cam yet,
24:48while Hussein and I have grown very, very strong.
24:51Um, I'm not saying that it's not going to happen, ever.
24:54Just give me some scum.
24:55What do you mean?
24:56Let me work it out.
24:57I was mad, like,
24:58that I wasn't going to meet her ex.
24:59I mean, that's the assignment, first off.
25:01And it makes me feel like that
25:03you're trying to hide something.
25:04But it's bringing me that grace.
25:14What's up, babe?
25:15You look gorgeous.
25:17Deonna has grown on me since the date at the Nutrition Bar.
25:21Every time I seen her from the block party
25:23to the first mixer,
25:24everything was just, like, a step of enhancement.
25:26We vibe every time we around each other.
25:28Let me fan you.
25:29Yeah, I look hot.
25:30Yeah, I could go grab, like, three leaves
25:32and just stand next to me.
25:33What's up, bro?
25:34Hey, oh, hey, guy.
25:36So today I'm going to meet Deonna's ex.
25:38Deonna is dope.
25:39I lay my eyes on her, and my eyes just keep laying.
25:42Woo!
25:43Cheeks out?
25:44See, man?
25:45Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:46Grandma, I'm sorry.
25:47I didn't see that.
25:48I didn't see it.
25:49I didn't see it.
25:50It was a little divvy.
25:51I got the front end.
25:52I didn't walk around.
25:53Pears of the cheeks.
25:54Pears of the cheeks.
25:55Pears of the cheeks.
25:56All right.
25:57I brought you all here today
25:58because I wanted to bring an ex.
25:59Where you at?
26:00He not coming?
26:02The ex?
26:03It's just us three, no ex.
26:04We're not on speaking terms.
26:06It was just toxic.
26:07Not even?
26:08Yeah, we can't even be friends.
26:09So it is a little concerning that Deonna's ex will not be showing up.
26:13I really wanted to see what type of men Deonna deals with.
26:17So I was bummed.
26:18So since I'm not meeting the ex, tell me about y'all athletes.
26:23That's it.
26:24And why didn't it work out?
26:25He would say that I made him feel like he wasn't needed.
26:28Like, I can do everything by myself.
26:30Maybe I did forget him having their role in the sense of being a man
26:35and a person who's supposed to take care of everything.
26:38Mm-hmm.
26:39So I know me.
26:40I'm a very, like, strong-willed individual.
26:41Like, I want to meet my household.
26:43I want to be able to lead my family to prosperity, you know?
26:47As men, we want to feel needed.
26:49And I can tell you right now, if you're not appreciative of me,
26:51it ain't going to be a thing.
26:53You know, I don't know how he was.
26:54I need the assertiveness.
26:56Yeah, I don't know how he was.
26:57I'm not .
26:59Damn, I'm tired.
27:02If we were supposed to meet the ex right now, what would he say?
27:04I guess he would say that I'm a runner.
27:06Like, every time it's a problem, I want to lead.
27:08I used to nitpick on things that I feel as though I didn't like.
27:12I used to keep it inside.
27:14So I wouldn't tell you right off the bat.
27:16It had to happen, like, two more times.
27:18So if it happened three times, three strikes, you done.
27:21You're done?
27:22Yes.
27:23Damn, before you even communicate one time?
27:24Yeah.
27:25That's tough for somebody not to even know what's going on.
27:26And he felt as though he had to walk on eggshells.
27:28Yeah.
27:29Because I was like that.
27:30Yeah, yeah.
27:31I appreciate her being honest about it.
27:32But that was kind of off-putting.
27:34You're a scorekeeper.
27:35D, you got to chill with the scorekeeper.
27:38This is dope.
27:40This is a dope brunch.
27:41We still found a way to complete Tommy's assignment to meet the ex.
27:44Even though we didn't meet your ex.
27:45Even though the ex not here.
27:46Shout outs to him.
27:47I mean, we still got the ex.
27:48We found out a lot about you.
27:49You, either way.
27:50I would say my connection basically stayed the same with D.
27:53Even though I didn't get to meet the exes.
27:55I thought that Deanna was still honest.
27:57So I'm going to leave her in the game.
27:59Well, let's all hug it out, you know?
28:00Okay.
28:01Go get some AC.
28:02He getting up.
28:03That's a blessing in itself.
28:04After this date, even though the ex didn't show, we had a great time.
28:07And we still vibe.
28:08And I got a different side of her, too, as far as character-wise.
28:11She wasn't afraid to just let it all out.
28:13Come on, D.
28:14Let's go.
28:15Let's just go.
28:16I'm scared to be back there because she's assertively doing it.
28:20Is there anything negative that your ex would say about you?
28:23I kind of like nitpick.
28:25They would say like, oh, well, Cam has definitely got a problem with everything.
28:29I'm like, no, I don't got a problem with everything.
28:31I just want to talk about it so it don't become a bigger problem later on.
28:34Okay.
28:35I don't like loud talk and arguing.
28:37But sometimes I like to argue just to, you know, make up.
28:41I would be like, oh, when was the nasty time?
28:45It's kind of concerning that we can't have a conversation without it turning sexual.
28:50And I'm here for a reason.
28:51Like, I've done that in the past.
28:52Like, that's what I've always did.
28:54So I'm trying to change my ways a little bit and see if it's an actual substance there.
28:59Sign me good.
29:00You know that.
29:01Why you trying to be good?
29:02Sign me good.
29:03What you trying to be good for?
29:05Technically, Angie failed Tommy's assignment.
29:07She didn't allow me the chance to get to meet her ex to learn more about her.
29:12I put it as a little bit of a red flag.
29:14It's a silo.
29:19After that, I won't remember what I said.
29:21Aw, see you in that room?
29:22Yeah, just like that in that room.
29:23You're like, all this stuff.
29:24Don't hate me.
29:25No.
29:26Zanion arm.
29:27It's so awkward if you're within 30 days.
29:28At least like somebody at home-union being carried into ahare type team.
29:30It's time to get back into deliberation with Tommy in the vault this week. We met the women's exes. Well, I met one ex out of the three
29:50And now we trying to see who's ready to go home and who's ready to stay so we got a job to do. I can't unsee it now
29:56though
30:12All right, gentlemen, I want to hear it. I want to hear about these x days, man. Jay, you make your exes. Yeah, yeah
30:18They grew up in church together. Okay, so they was young nine years older than he's nine years older than her
30:23Mm-hmm. It's starting to sound illegal already
30:29So he one of them guys that been hanging on and hanging on waiting on his shot waiting on his shot
30:34He was coming with all the disrespect when she was younger. She was a humble servant. What that mean?
30:38He know her when she wasn't as living the lavish like walking around with the Louie bags
30:43So that's what he brought up. I'm used to her being, you know, more humble than me. You used to her being nine
30:53You're right. What y'all saying now as a connection? We still connected. She still say my man, my man, my man. So are you?
31:02Are you her man, her man, her man?
31:05We getting there
31:06You're getting there
31:09All right
31:10All right, all right
31:11I'm saying who'd you have a date with?
31:12I met Rose X
31:13Actually, it was me and Ken
31:15We was giving her all praise. He was a good salesman
31:17Hmm
31:18I'm like, all right, y'all must have rehearsed this, but okay
31:21I'll tell you
31:22What about Sahara?
31:23Her ex that she was closest with passed away
31:26Oh, really?
31:27Yeah, that's why I don't think she's like hiding anything
31:29Like I don't think she'll hide anything
31:31Yeah, she gonna tell you whatever it is, you know
31:33Baby, I'm gonna be me
31:38Exactly, so I don't really fall for her, you know, and again, she was open about, you know, what they would have said if they was here
31:43Yeah, Cisco, talk to me
31:46I had one with a tape, and that was a no show, so that's another like
31:50He ain't show
31:51He ain't show
31:52Yeah, it's me and Cisco, yeah, he ain't, yeah, no show
31:54He don't even wanna come around
31:57Next time you got stronger or what?
31:58Yeah, we've been consistent, our connection has been getting stronger
32:01We learning a lot about each other, so that's been consistent
32:04I gotta prove my love
32:10Hearing that Khalil top connection is Tay
32:13Of course, you know, man's ego's gonna be like, man, like, why you like my girl?
32:18But it's just letting me know is that he sees the same things that I see in Tay
32:21So it's like Tay's a wonderful woman and let the best man win
32:24All right, Khalil, did you have any other date?
32:26Yeah, D, no X
32:28No X again?
32:29Mm-hmm
32:30All we got is excuses
32:31Yes
32:34And I ain't, you were with Khalil
32:36We got a lot complete without the X being there
32:39It was just more and more, you know, connection between me and her
32:43Cisco, you had another date too, right?
32:45The second one, one with, uh, Shawnees
32:47Like how, uh, Brother Hussain said, it was like nothing but good praises, you know what I'm saying?
32:51And they dated back in college, like
32:53We went back to the college X?
32:55Exactly
32:56Yeah
32:57We ain't getting the truth from somebody back in the day of college
32:59It just makes me think that probably her last relationship was probably a rocky one
33:03And, um, she's not trying to disclose that information just yet
33:06But that's the one that's gonna give us the truth
33:08Right
33:09I got mixed emotions about Shawnees
33:10Any time that I get to interact with her is great
33:12But at this part of the journey, I only truly had one connection, and that's Tay
33:16Chenees texted me good morning, King, but she copied the page and said that to five other people
33:22Did you respond?
33:23I said thank you, same to you
33:25You sent me out the little throwaways, I'm gonna send you a throwaway back
33:28Good morning to you too, King
33:29Good morning to you, King
33:30Usain, you and Ang, what happened?
33:34I met Angie's ex, which was also her, uh, son's father
33:37But it's like when I asked him what was something that he didn't like, she didn't allow him to be the man
33:42It was kinda like, oh, red flag
33:44She felt like it was too early for me to meet anybody in her life
33:47Okay
33:48And now hearing that somebody met her kid's father, it kinda do make me feel some type of way
33:52Take a sip
33:53She had a sip of drink
33:54Don't start sipping when we start talking to her
33:56Right, right, right
33:57I had a lot of questions, I'm like, what did he do to earn the right to meet your ex?
34:02I was just trying to figure out what was her thought process behind that
34:05And why I couldn't meet the ex
34:07It was just, it was just weird
34:08So it was definitely some questions that I need to ask
34:11So you met her child's father
34:15You can't meet the ex
34:18Right
34:19I didn't appreciate that at all
34:21If you really putting in the work to try to get to know me
34:24Then you should be able to show your most important self to me
34:27Sounds like y'all got some clarity
34:29And clarity is a great place to make important decisions
34:32So gentlemen, y'all know what y'all gotta do
34:34Take these ladies out
34:35And let them know where they staying
34:38Cool?
34:39Cool
34:40Alright, I'ma let y'all go, man
34:41Do your thing, baby
34:42Alright, alright

34:45I have a date with Francisco tonight and it doesn't feel the same for me
35:02It doesn't feel like the body painting
35:04It doesn't feel like the blackboard
35:05It doesn't feel that way
35:06How you doing?
35:07Good to see you
35:08How you doing?
35:09After the assignment this week
35:11I'm feeling like I'm drifting away with Cisco
35:14I'm here to listen to whatever he has to say

36:25Is you helped me tap
36:26And more into my spiritual side
36:28Okay
36:29And um
36:30I love that
36:31Cause I feel that
36:32At times when things get rough
36:34I tend to forget
36:35That God has always been there
36:37And will always be there
36:38Right, for sure
36:39And with you
36:40You reminded me of that
36:41I'm glad
36:42I did enjoy our date
36:44Yes
36:45But I was
36:46You know
36:47I feel disappointed
36:48Because I wasn't able to meet
36:49Your ex
36:50Or at least somebody important in your life
36:51So you feel cheated?
36:52Slighted?
36:53Cheated is a strong word
36:54Slighted maybe
36:55I'm not gonna lie
36:56Cause here goes
36:57This other side
36:58Like
36:59I did hear that
37:00Other people was able
37:01To meet somebody important to you
37:02Okay
37:05And also like your
37:06Like how they said as well
37:08With your caring side
37:09I get that from a
37:11Like whoever
37:12Is gonna be in your life
37:13They're gonna get a solid woman
37:14That's gonna have
37:15Their best interests at heart
37:17And that's something
37:18That I definitely felt
37:19Connection was definitely there
37:21I wish it would've
37:22Probably been
37:23Stronger from the beginning
37:25Right?
37:26Yeah
37:27I'm not a jealous person
37:28Or like
37:29I'm not trying to compare
37:30Journeys
37:31Right
37:32You know?
37:33But it's just like
37:34Damn, like
37:35He was able to meet somebody important
37:36So I just feel like
37:37I didn't get that chance
37:38That he got
37:39But I'm not trying to lie
37:40I'm so sorry
37:41With all that
37:42Being said
37:48At this point
38:00So the fellas have decided
38:01That
38:02You still ready to look
38:04I do appreciate you
38:11I was a little scared
38:13I know you was
38:14But I like
38:15How you handle things
38:16Thank you
38:17Finding out that
38:18Me and my son's dad
38:19Me and my son's dad
38:20Meant a lot to Cam
38:21It's really impactful
38:22This meant so much to him
38:24And I didn't see it that way
38:25Knowing that
38:26It makes me want him
38:27To meet my son's dad
38:28Because
38:29I'm sure
38:30Somebody who wants to do that
38:31They're gonna treat it
38:32And handle it with care
38:33Come here
38:34Come here
38:35Here you go
38:36I want to touch you
38:37Is that a bad thing?
38:38That's a red flag
38:39To want to touch you?
38:41Then I'm just a big
38:42Walking red flag
38:43Huh?
38:44At the end of this date
38:45Cam is coming out the gate
38:47He's trying to win this race
38:48Hussein
38:49They are
38:50They're neck and neck
38:51It's gonna be a tough one
38:52I want you to get off of me
38:54For the date
38:56Go somewhere else
38:57Oh, so you nasty
38:58I ain't
38:59Well, I can be
39:00Sorry
39:03The fellas
39:04Have decided
39:06You are not ready
39:08To love
39:09It's okay
39:10Listen
39:12I'm okay
39:13I know how you feel about me
39:14I know you never want to hurt me
39:16I know you appreciate who I am to you
39:18And I still want to be that
39:20So if me coming here
39:22Was just to remind you
39:23That God loves you
39:25That you are a king
39:26That your mom and you can have a better relationship
39:29Those are all the things that maybe I came here for
39:32Just to tell you that
39:33And I'm okay with that
39:35He was so uncomfortable
39:37Because I know he never wanted to hurt my feelings
39:39So I feel like it was so hard for him to deliver it
39:42I just love the fact that he has such compassion and empathy
39:45And respect for me
39:47I'm trying to hold back these tears, man
39:49You okay?
39:50Yeah, I'll be all right
39:51Okay
39:52It's okay
39:53It's okay
39:54I was becoming emotional
39:55Because it felt like I didn't protect her
39:58But then I also was under the realization that
40:01If today was the day that I would have to pick between Tay
40:04Or Shawnice
40:05I would pick Tay
40:07I'm okay
40:08Coming out of this process
40:09I am more ready to love than I was when I came in
40:13Because I'm very introverted
40:15This was definitely outside of my comfort zone
40:18I just really learned that there's still a lot of love in Philly
40:21And I'm ready to love, to be honest
40:28Next time on Ready to Love
40:30This week, you are going to enter into their world
40:33And meet some of their closest friends
40:35Bring it on
40:36This is getting real real
40:38I need someone that's just as stable as I am
40:41He's running at it
40:42Francisco's stability
40:44There's a little doubt
40:46Tay, what's up?
40:47So I'm developing my connection with Khalil
40:49I know what I'm getting myself into with him
40:51I appreciate it though
40:52Ha!
40:53Hello
40:54Y'all know each other?
40:55Oh my God
40:56Wait a minute, what's going on here?
40:57I'm Polly
40:58I'm a professional dominant
41:00Angie and the polygamist knows each other
41:03Whoa
41:04I think me and him clicked
41:06But the whole fact that he has five kids
41:08Well, I also want kids
41:10It's like, well, how does that look?
41:11It becomes a friction
41:13Oh my God
41:14He got options
41:15How you doing?
41:16It's kind of hard
41:17Because I just feel like he meshes with all of y'all really well
41:20He has to decide
41:21Choose wisely
41:22But she goes wisely
