00:00Previously on Ready to Love...
00:02It's time to skate and jam.
00:03Walking, shooting, spending time of nothing.
00:07I'm manifesting that I came to the right place to meet my man.
00:10Cheers to that.
00:11Cheers to some alone time.
00:13Cheers to the alone time.
00:15This ain't long enough.
00:18I classified you as jar.
00:20But you didn't get to know me.
00:21A lot of women feel this way about you.
00:23That's ludicrous.
00:25Do you let your children just watch what they want
00:26without finding out what they're watching first?
00:28You can't control everything that they watch.
00:30You can't control everything that they see.
00:31Yeah, you gotta monitor some things, though.
00:33It was an awkward conversation with Emily.
00:36The fellas have some things to say.
00:37You have a barrier.
00:39They feel that you are not ready to love.
00:43No, it took me some time
00:45To get to the place that you wanted me to be
00:48But now I'm ready
00:51I'm ready to love
00:58I'm feeling it
01:00I won't stop this up
01:03When you can't wait for no
01:05When you can't tell me that
01:07And not a lie
01:08Hi, Tommy.
01:12Miss Donna, how you doing?
01:14I'm doing well.
01:15Ashley, Miss Ashley.
01:16How are you?
01:17Walking into Tommy's lounge, I was stunned.
01:19I was like, ooh, this is classy.
01:21It looked like a small winery
01:23Where you just come in, relax, chill
01:25And just have girl talk.
01:27I'm Monique.
01:28Tommy.
01:28How you doing?
01:29I'm amazing.
01:30I'm like, this is Tommy all day
01:31But this is Detroit, too
01:32So I'm ready.
01:34All right, ladies.
01:35Welcome to your first Tommy lounge.
01:37Hey.
01:37Hey.
01:38This is my speakeasy
01:39While I'm in Detroit
01:40Is it classy enough for you?
01:41Yes.
01:42I love it here.
01:43Great.
01:43This is the safe haven
01:45To talk about the connections
01:46That you're making
01:47And the ones you're not making
01:49And do not forget the golden rule
01:52What happens in the lounge
01:55Stays in the lounge
01:57We got it?
01:59Yes.
02:00Now let's get to this week's assignment
02:01Where you live and where you spend your time
02:04Says a lot about who you are
02:05So this week
02:07You are taking your men
02:09To the Detroit spots
02:11That mean the most to you
02:12Can you picture them
02:14Fitting into your world long term?
02:16At the end of the week
02:18We're going to meet back here
02:19And you guys are going to decide
02:20Who is and who isn't
02:22Ready to love
02:24Sound good?
02:25Yes.
02:26I think a lot of people know me
02:27To be a pageant girl
02:29But I know how to get down and dirty
02:32I know how to have a good time
02:33So I'm excited for these guys to know
02:35I'm not just this
02:36I can be a different type of person as well
02:38All right, now listen
02:39Clean these houses
02:41Before they come over there
02:42Take care of your day
02:46All right
02:46Y'all be good
02:47Thank you
02:48The women are in power this week
03:02And Tommy's assignment for us
03:03Is to bring them into our personal space
03:06So I invited Tavon, Christina, Chris, and Bello
03:09Into my home
03:10Hey!
03:12Hey!
03:12Hello!
03:13Girl!
03:13Oh, you look gorgeous
03:17You too
03:17I love this
03:19All of it
03:19You look great
03:20Well, thank you
03:21Long day
03:23I'm ready
03:23I'm ready
03:24Hello
03:25Hello
03:26All right
03:26Oh, you smell good
03:30Always smells good
03:31Get it on the flow
03:34Get it, get it on the flow
03:35Dominique just invited me for a double date at her house
03:39And she said she can make some oxtail
03:41And I'm an oxtail connoisseur
03:44So I'm excited to see what she whipped up
03:47How it tastes
03:48And give her a little critique
03:49How you doing?
03:53Hi
03:53I've wanted to kiss Bello since the first date we had
04:03So it was natural to me
04:05It felt real
04:06I dreamed about that and he didn't disappoint
04:09We're gonna do a shot together?
04:11Maybe I'll lick it off you
04:12My connection with Dominique is undeniable
04:17There's like an electricity between the two of us
04:19But Christina is somebody that I also have a connection with
04:22So I felt like it was gonna be awkward
04:23The party is final now
04:25There you go
04:26Yes, sir
04:27He took his title already, guys
04:28Oh, we did, nice
04:29I'm like, why they got me doing a double date with my two people?
04:33I'm like, damn, I'm getting exposed here
04:36We gonna try to finish this bottle
04:38But I'm gonna feed you first so we can be responsible
04:41All right
04:41Absolutely
04:42Who's favorite food is Jamaican?
04:45I would assume it's you
04:45My favorite food is Jamaican
04:47Okay
04:47I'm just, I'm looking for the oxtail
04:49So you guys can do whatever you want
04:50I feel like Dominique catering
04:53The meal to Bella
04:55I can definitely tell she is into him
04:57It seems like we may like the same men
04:59So it just let me know
05:02Bring your A-game
05:03And I'm gonna give the best
05:04I'm so hungry right now
05:07Serious
05:07What?
05:09How's it tasting?
05:11You ate it cold, so it's good
05:13It gotta be, he ate it cold
05:14He was in here by himself
05:15Just like
05:16As he should
05:18I feel like I got to see how grounded Dominique really is
05:23She cooked all that food
05:25She put all the time and energy into making sure that her home was welcoming to us
05:29That was dope
05:30But I wish she had asked to cook my favorite meal
05:32You can learn to make sushi
05:34You could have done that for me
05:35So sorry
05:37You mind if I still have two seconds
05:39Oh, don't stay on that
05:40You know what I'm saying?
05:40You mind if I come on?
05:42Go for it
05:43Go for it
05:43Yay
05:44My mom's too
05:45It's safe to say that Christina is probably my strongest connection
05:49Her and I have a, like, a really good chemistry
05:52So I think it's just very easy going with me and her
05:55Wow, you are stunning
05:56Oh, thank you
05:57You know what's so funny?
05:59I grew up from a place where I thought I was fat and ugly, you know?
06:01Really?
06:01Being called pig and pudgy
06:03And I felt bad for that little girl
06:05Even though we've grown past those moments
06:07Those moments still, like, are there
06:09I want to say I got teased a lot
06:11But there was, there was teasing
06:14I had a big gap before I had braces
06:16I had hair issues
06:18So what it did for me is I had to develop other skills
06:21To be able to compete with the guy that played football
06:24I think that to be able to
06:26It was needed
06:26Yeah
06:26Because you had to grow
06:27I would say I'm grateful that I was able to go through that hardship
06:31Because it humbled me
06:32Chris and I have such a great connection
06:34When it comes to our upbringings
06:37And being able to relate to one another
06:39He definitely made me feel like he was into me
06:41Even though there was another really beautiful woman around
06:45I'm happy to be here
06:46I'm happy to have you
06:48Why are you looking at me like that?
06:50Because I want you
06:51What?
06:53Mm-hmm
06:53What about me do you want?
06:57All of you, everything
06:58At this point, my connection with Bello is pretty intense
07:02But I want to pull back some layers with Devon
07:05Thank you for letting me meet your mom, too
07:08I'm FaceTiming yesterday
07:09Yeah, yeah, yeah
07:10If you FaceTimed me, you're liable to meet anybody in my family
07:12Because I'm always with my family
07:14My kids
07:15My mom, my daddy, my brothers
07:17That's my tribe
07:18I think about having a family like that
07:20Like that's one of the main reasons I want to have kids
07:22So if I don't have kids, is that a deal breaker for you?
07:25No
07:26I'm talking about those
07:27Again
07:28Mm-hmm
07:28You just say you wanted many kids
07:31Well, if I had kids
07:32That's probably not going to happen for me
07:34Would you ever consider adapting?
07:36Absolutely
07:36Yeah?
07:37Yeah
07:37I think that I am a dope enough person to do that
07:41Because what was looking for me, it was, you know, pretty painful
07:45Yeah
07:45So if I could experience loving somebody who needs that love, I would do that
07:50I think it's a beautiful thing
07:52So you open to that?
07:53Yeah
07:53Experiencing two miscarriages, the pain that that put me through
07:57I don't think I could go through that again
07:59So the fact that Devon is open to adoption, I love that
08:03You learn something every day, right?
08:04Mm-hmm
08:05How you doing, Cece?
08:06I'm doing good
08:07I'm doing good
08:08This is the first time I'm seeing you tonight
08:10It's been a minute since I've seen you
08:11Yeah, I know
08:12We had some phone conversations, though
08:14Yeah, this is true
08:15Some long ones
08:16Yes
08:16Yes, yeah
08:17Like, I'm like, dang, we on the phone for, like, damn near two hours
08:20I don't know, I feel like I should have had a two-hour conversation with someone else
08:23Watching Bello and Dominique interact, it's very clear that he is into her
08:28But even if that is the case, he can still make me feel special
08:32So we definitely have to discuss the elephant in the room
08:36Why?
08:36You know, you know, I'm a sharpshooter, baby
08:38I'm gonna tell you how I feel
08:39So you don't feel like I show you love?
08:41Mmm
08:42You have to be on the phone, like, two hours
08:45In one of those conversations I told you
08:46Men care about their money
08:48Mm-hmm
08:48Right?
08:49And in order for a man to show he really cares, he has to spend some money
08:53Mm-hmm
08:53So for me, I asked three different men
08:56My body's so sore, I feel like I need a massage
08:58One answer was, dang, I would love to, but I'm not in the position right now
09:02I understand that
09:03Oh, my God, you're used to a $300 massage?
09:06Let me send you $150
09:08Matter of fact, here's $180, because that's what I have to offer
09:10That's a real-ass answer
09:11Not gonna call your answer weak, but you didn't get one
09:14Hmm, no, I did give an answer
09:16Nope
09:16You responded with, oh, you know, I didn't even see this
09:20You said that you felt like you wanted a massage in the morning
09:23I didn't get the message till 3 p.m.
09:25Do you think that I couldn't get a massage in the evening?
09:27If a man wants to come and take care of me, you gotta understand what that entails, right?
09:31This situation made Christina drop on my list just because she just seems like she wants to buy money
09:37And if that is the narrative of the relationship, you gotta recalibrate
09:40And I'm just giving you where my perspective is
09:43So that you can either align with what you really want or gracefully bow out, because I don't play games
09:49I feel like if you are unable to make me feel special, like I stand out from the bunch
09:54Then I don't know if I'm yours
09:56So it's not a competition, baby
09:58And if you ain't him, I understand, because I'm her in my world
10:02The assignment this week is to invite guys into our personal spaces
10:17So I invited Yvonne to the batting club today
10:20And I am super excited, because today we're going to do something fun
10:23We're playing cricket
10:23Hey!
10:24Hey!
10:25How are you?
10:26I'm good, how are you doing?
10:28Ever since skating, me and him have been talking on the phone every single night
10:32So I'm really looking forward to seeing if that chemistry can translate in person
10:36So we are going to play some cricket
10:39Okay
10:40Have you ever played?
10:41Never
10:41Do you know what it is?
10:42It's kind of like tennis, right?
10:44Tennis, baseball, Greek life
10:46I mean, something all of the above
10:50Dominique is my boo
10:52Every time me and Dominique are around each other, we got this flirtatious energy
10:55But I like Nicole
10:57She is very easy to talk to, down to earth, smart
11:01We had a strong connection right from the very first mixer
11:05And now it's time to see where we can take that
11:09All right, here we go
11:12Okay
11:13Wow, strike one
11:15Okay
11:17My cricket skills, for this being the first time I've ever played it, it's pretty nice
11:29I was knocking them out of the park
11:30All right, they coming fast, you ready?
11:32Ah!
11:34Sometimes
11:35You ready?
11:36Yes
11:36That's one
11:40Oh my God, this is hard
11:42I love competition, I'm in it to win it, but it was so hard
11:46I was just freaking out
11:47This is heavy, you need some strength to do this
11:49Okay, now I feel bad that I talked smack because that was way harder than
11:54It's very hard, right?
11:55Yes
11:56You did a great job
11:58Now I do want to ask you, what's an ideal woman for you?
12:04I need someone who's smart
12:05Okay
12:05I need someone who's kind and thinks about the world
12:08Okay
12:09Beyond themselves
12:10I would say something very similar
12:12I feel a strong sense of responsibility in a lot of areas
12:16And I tend to step up in, like, leadership roles when I feel like change needs to happen in different spaces
12:22I want to make a change
12:24Me too
12:24Yes
12:25I think if I find the right partner, someone who supports me, encourages me
12:29Like, I think that, you know, we can do this thing together
12:32That's core to who I am
12:34I do think that we have a lot in common
12:37We share a lot of similarities
12:38And nothing else
12:39You have a vibe
12:40I know we can have a good time together
12:42I'm excited to see, like, where this goes
12:44Me too
12:44You know, what happens in this journey
12:46I think the date went really, really well
12:48We surprisingly had a lot in common
12:50And I feel like I am starting to see who he is as a person
12:53So I think that we can blossom into something more
12:56What a great first date
12:57I know, I'm so excited
12:59This week, we're supposed to be inviting the men into our personal spaces
13:12And I invite Ed, Donna, Xavier, and Darius to my humble abode
13:17Hey, what's going on here?
13:18How you doing?
13:19How you doing?
13:20What I've asked them to do is bring something meaningful to them
13:23Or something that they feel comfortable sharing with the group
13:27So I know that everyone brought their personal item
13:31And I think that we should all share them
13:33I'll go first
13:35Hold on, hold on, hold on
13:37I have a joyful feeling every time I see Shannon
13:40So to spend time with her and getting to know her
13:43I mean, it makes me happy
13:44This is a dilation wheel
13:47And it's used to help students
13:52Or just any practitioner who is doing cervical checks
13:56For when people are in labor
13:58Yeah, basically
13:59What are you doing?
14:03I'm just making sure you dilated
14:04The best part of this triple date was the show and share
14:10Do it like me, can't do it like me, don't do
14:12The personal item I'm bringing is a rose that my grandmother gave me at her homegoing service
14:19I appreciate her every bit that she gave to me
14:24And I miss her dearly, even as a grown-ass man
14:26I spent 10 years coaching dance
14:29When I retired, I passed it off to some of the young ladies who I coached originally
14:33And this was just one of the things that we got for ourselves and for the girls
14:38Like just have around our house in kind of memory of the times
14:43This was sent to me from my cousin slash brother
14:48A couple weeks later, he was sent on a tour
14:50And he was killed in active duty
14:52Everybody dug deep, sharing things that were very personal to them
14:57And I think it helped bring us all closer together
15:00So this is an outfit, actually, when I had my firstborn
15:04That my mother, you know, she decided to sew and give it to my daughter as a gift
15:08Wow
15:09So she's 20 now, so I still have this outfit
15:12My mother used to actually sew my clothes for me
15:16She ended up passing away in 2012
15:19So I got my passion for fashion for my mother
15:23Oh, man
15:24Yeah
15:25She lives on
15:26Oh, man, hold on
15:28Give me a second
15:29Seeing Darius be vulnerable about his mother
15:32It actually just confirms to me the type of man that he is
15:36He's very caring
15:37And he does things, like, with a purpose
15:40So I appreciate it
15:41I didn't want to bring the mood down
15:42You're not
15:43Hey, you brought the mood up, brother
15:45Yeah
15:45Yeah
15:45It was my baby first
15:46My first impression of Darius was not the best
15:50But he was extremely vulnerable
15:52He told his story from his heart
15:55And I was surprised
15:57The story helped me create some more understanding around who he is
16:02So maybe we might finally get a chance to talk tonight
16:05I know
16:06Because you know every time we're about to have a conversation
16:08We're getting interrupted
16:09I've said that, like, three times
16:11It's a thing
16:13At this point
16:14Getting a chance to sit down and have a conversation with Donna is a long time coming
16:19I definitely have some interest
16:21So I hope we have a great conversation that would allow for a deeper connection
16:27So do you feel like you've made a connection?
16:29With a couple people, I have interest
16:31But I can't really call it a connection
16:33Because I think it would be
16:35I'm really slow to move
16:36Oh, okay
16:37Have you tried to contact any of the ladies outside of, like, seeing them in these more organized spaces?
16:45I've talked to one person and that wasn't the vibe
16:48And that's no jab at anybody
16:50But that's just a nod to how I prefer to live
16:54So has this experience made you reconsider not how fast, necessarily, you need to move
17:03But how you approach dating?
17:06Not at all
17:07So this was the most I've spoken to Xavier
17:10I did appreciate the conversation
17:12Because I got at least a little bit more insight
17:14But he didn't really seem into the process
17:18This is, like, the first date
17:21Well, I've been on a one date
17:23A group date
17:24So
17:24So you haven't had any one-on-ones
17:26I haven't
17:27Yeah
17:28I'm trying to make this a one-on-one right now
17:32We definitely can make this a one-on-one
17:34When I see Shannon
17:36She has, like, an upper echelon, very polished vibe
17:39Sort of like Michelle Obama, first lady of the city type of thing
17:43So there's definitely attraction
17:46So it's a school over here
17:48I was over here recently because I had one
17:51The mathematics and science one?
17:53Yeah, so I had a speaking engagement there
17:55I speak to the kids about my path of life
17:58Of having the opportunity
17:59So, you know, kids are like
18:01Why did you start boxing?
18:03And then you get the, um, have you ever been knocked out?
18:07You know
18:07Wait, have you been knocked out?
18:08Never
18:09Oh, okay
18:09But, you know, these hands aren't just made for her, you know, protection as well
18:14Okay
18:14You know, I enjoy cooking, too
18:16You know, so nourishment
18:18Yeah
18:19The physicality between me and Ed is just superb
18:23It's comforting
18:24It makes me feel protected
18:26And I just love that
18:28Bye, bye
18:29All of these colors
18:31And, you know, these hands give some of the best massages
18:36Okay
18:37You know
18:37I like that
18:38This is north of the Mason-Dixon
18:39You like that?
18:41I like that a lot
18:42So, Tommy's assignment this week is allowing the guys to come into our personal space
18:56So, I decided to put together a nice little cooking class for a few of us
19:01Show them what you got
19:02Show them what you got
19:04Why not show it up for the kid
19:07Oh, cute
19:09Hi
19:10I'm so excited for today
19:15Obviously, I am a private chef
19:17And I wanted to give everybody a little taste of what I do all the time
19:20Perfect
19:21Welcome, family
19:23How are you?
19:24Good to see you
19:25Come on, cutie
19:26Hey
19:27I am super excited that Ashante invited myself, Cardi, and Vince out today
19:33Hey, Vince
19:34Hey, Vince
19:34What up, y'all?
19:36Hi
19:37How are we?
19:37I'm looking forward to chatting it up with Vince because he seems like a good guy
19:42So, I'm excited to see what the chemistry is like in a more intimate setting with him
19:46Take your stations
19:47Let me tell you what we're going to do first
19:49In the kitchen, when you pick up a knife, we all say sharp
19:51So, I pick up a knife, you say what?
19:53Sharp
19:53Nice job
19:54So, for you guys, the first thing you guys are doing, we're chopping
19:57That's what you're doing
19:58When you're done, we're going to put it inside of the pan
19:59Love it
20:00So, y'all, step over here, get to chopping
20:02Okay, you're going to get it
20:03Okay
20:03You know how to hold a knife?
20:05No, wait a second
20:06How you
20:06Go
20:07You're like, you're going to cut yourself
20:08No
20:09Okay
20:09Don't put that on me
20:10Hold it like this
20:11Okay, yeah, okay
20:13You got more control
20:15And then, yeah, hold it like
20:17Yeah, yeah
20:19Okay
20:19For your mushrooms
20:21The easiest way for you to cut mushrooms is if you cut it in half
20:26I can literally
20:27Oh my goodness
20:29Ooh
20:29Boom
20:30Got it
20:31Look at that
20:31All right
20:31Your turn
20:32Get in there
20:35Get on that mushroom
20:36Get in there
20:37Sharp
20:38Okay
20:39Stop
20:40You want to try something?
20:41Give me the first five of them
20:42Sharp
20:44He screamed sharp one more time with that knife
20:46I'm going to run up out of here
20:48Sharp
20:50It's giving up
20:52Sharp
20:53It's driving me crazy
20:55It's driving
20:56Y'all did a good job
21:03This is
21:04It's giving
21:04What it's supposed to give
21:05Awesome
21:05Thank you
21:06I'm going to let y'all sit it on down
21:08So you can enjoy your drink
21:08So, uh
21:10How have you been?
21:11I
21:11I've been good
21:12I've been good
21:13I've been enjoying texting you
21:14It's been insightful conversation
21:16Yeah
21:16I think Lauren is beautiful
21:17We have chemistry there
21:19So I'm really excited to talk more one-on-one
21:22And have good conversations
21:24Your kids are really, I think, important to you
21:26I can say
21:26You know
21:27Do you have any other passions that you aren't doing now?
21:30That I am not
21:31No, that you aren't doing
21:32That you want to do?
21:32No, I'm doing everything
21:33That you want to do?
21:34Yeah
21:34Okay
21:35A lot of times people have kids
21:36And they get lost in having a kid
21:38They do
21:38They do
21:38And that's never been me
21:40If you're not fulfilled as a mom
21:41Your kids know it
21:42I'm able to show up for them
21:44Because I'm able to show up for myself
21:45So
21:46There you go
21:47Yeah
21:47Exactly
21:48Me, I would say
21:49The only thing that I'm not doing right now
21:51That I want to
21:51I want to get my
21:52Finish on my pilot license
21:53Oh my gosh
21:54Are you serious?
21:55I'm dead serious, yeah
21:56That's cool
21:58I've got about like 60 hours now
21:59Which is not a lot
22:00But
22:00You know, sometimes when you have kids
22:02You got to do other things
22:03To take a step back
22:04So it's like
22:04That's what I really want to like
22:05Focus up
22:06And then do
22:07I appreciate Cardi
22:09Because he's funny
22:11He's sweet
22:12And confident
22:13So I'm looking forward
22:14To growing our bond together
22:16You are definitely a different vibe
22:19Thank you
22:20Than anything that I
22:21You do
22:21Thank you
22:22So
22:23So
22:24We haven't spoke much to each other
22:27If you could categorize
22:29Some things that you may say
22:31That Vince has to work on
22:33Remember we asked you a question about like
22:35Oh, how do you want your woman
22:36To contribute to the household
22:37And he was like
22:38Well, if she's not satisfied
22:39With what I'm contributing
22:41To the household
22:41Then maybe she needs
22:42To contribute to the household
22:43How do you feel about 50-50?
22:45Would you be paying 100%?
22:47It depends on the lifestyle
22:49That whoever I'm with
22:51Wants to live
22:51And we make 150
22:53If that's fine with you
22:54Then that's fine
22:55But if you're saying
22:56I think that we need to be up to 250
22:58Then you go get you
22:59100%
23:01You know what I'm saying?
23:01It's whatever you're comfortable with
23:03Let me say what was said
23:05Because I don't want you to
23:06Like miss
23:07What you meant?
23:09No, I'll tell you what I actually said
23:10Okay
23:11What did you say?
23:12If I have
23:14You know
23:15A $150,000 job
23:18And I'm providing a lifestyle
23:20If she's okay with that
23:22She don't got work at all
23:23Right
23:24But if she's like
23:25Well less
23:26I want to do this
23:27Or I want to do something different
23:28Then either
23:30She would
23:31Say I'm going to do this
23:33To contribute
23:34Or she would help me
23:35And my business
23:37To grow
23:37For more
23:38Than what we have
23:39Does that make sense
23:40Or does it not make sense?
23:40It makes a lot of sense
23:41I'm talking to Vince
23:42And the energy just seems
23:45A little bit combative
23:46What I just said right now
23:48Did you hear that?
23:49Right this second?
23:49Yeah
23:50I'm sorry
23:51But did you hear that then?
23:53No
23:53Okay, so that's what I'm saying
23:55I don't have it in me
23:56To go back and forth
23:57With a man
23:58So I'm realizing that
24:00I'm not connecting with Vince
24:02That's why I'm saying
24:03You didn't hear me
24:04Because if you did
24:06Then this is what you would have heard
24:07I tried
24:08Watch me go
24:16Watch me close on air
24:19I'm feeling so good
24:21Tommy's assignment
24:22Was to bring the guys
24:24Into my personal space
24:25So I invited Ed out
24:26To a date at Barkside
24:27I love my dog Dutchess
24:29She's 10 years old
24:30And I just wanted him
24:31To get to know Dutchess
24:31Because who's ever in my life
24:33Has to be in Dutchess life
24:34Hi
24:35Hey
24:36How are you?
24:37Good
24:38Who's this?
24:40This is Dutchess
24:41Say hi, Dad
24:42Dutch
24:42What's up?
24:44Going into this date
24:45I'm excited
24:45I'm liking the vibes
24:47That Ashley's giving out
24:48I'm liking our interaction
24:49So I want to get a little deeper
24:51I was like
24:52I haven't really got a chance
24:53To talk to Ed
24:54I know he's my type
24:55But is he my type
24:57Personality-wise, too
24:58Like, are we even compatible?
25:00So what's your personality type?
25:02Honestly, I just like
25:03For somebody to just be
25:04Themselves
25:05No, I know what you mean
25:06Yeah, so that's what I like
25:07A person that just
25:08Know themselves, you know?
25:10I think I know myself
25:11Pretty well
25:11I can tell
25:13This is cute
25:21The women are in power this week
25:24But I haven't had a lot of time
25:26To spend with Ashante
25:27So I invited her out
25:29For a very fun date
25:30We're going to tie-dye some stuff
25:32In downtown Detroit
25:33Hey, how you doing?
25:36All right
25:37Good
25:37How are you?
25:40Good
25:40Going into this date
25:41Steven and I are cool
25:43But I still feel like
25:45I don't really know him that well
25:46So hopefully today
25:47I can figure out
25:48If we could be a vibe or not
25:50Push down and twist
25:52Yeah, just keep going
25:53Is this right?
25:54Yeah
25:54Yeah, that's great
25:56I like to make art
25:58Music
25:58I like them to create
26:00And I want somebody
26:01Who appreciates that stuff
26:02So to do something
26:03Like tie-dye
26:04I love it
26:05You know what I'm saying?
26:06You can't go wrong with a yellow
26:07That's all I gotta say
26:08I love yellow
26:08You see me with the yellow on it?
26:10I knew
26:10You knew something
26:11I listen
26:12I knew something
26:13You remind me
26:15100%
26:16Uh-oh
26:17Of like
26:18When I was growing up in Flint
26:20The girls I was around
26:21Which I like
26:22So I'm saying that
26:22That's super positive
26:24I'm like, man
26:24She make me feel like
26:26When I was a kid again
26:27Or whatever
26:27Like, you got such a good personality
26:29Thanks
26:30So how do you
26:31Like, how is your dating life?
26:33Like, do you date
26:33Often?
26:35It's just like
26:36Based upon what's going on
26:37Time
26:38Life, work
26:39How long will you be
26:40In a relationship with somebody
26:41Before you marry them?
26:42I don't put times
26:43On things like that
26:44Like, I was married briefly
26:46But we got a divorce
26:47I mean, we were together though
26:48Since like 15
26:49Okay, so your high school sweetheart
26:51High school sweethearts
26:52Playground sweethearts
26:53You know, um
26:55All of that
26:55Why didn't it work out?
26:57We grew apart
26:58Ultimately we got together
26:59So young
27:00Once we became older
27:02Kind of views
27:02Went always the same
27:03It's usually like that
27:05Yeah
27:05But y'all get along
27:06Yeah
27:06We call it parallel
27:07That's good
27:08Like, what do you have in mind
27:11When it comes to dating
27:12And your future
27:13Um, I want to have a wife
27:15Like, I want my wife to do stuff
27:17Right
27:18I don't want her to be someone
27:19Who's just like
27:19Mm, just hurting the kids
27:21No, like, no, no
27:22I want her to have like
27:23Some sort of a passion
27:24So like
27:25I do like that
27:26You got passions
27:27Already on your own
27:27So I'm somebody that like
27:29I kind of get off on that
27:30Like, yo, that's dope
27:31My girl did that
27:32That's cool
27:33That's cool, I like that
27:34What about you though?
27:35My vision is
27:36Having enough freedom
27:37To where like
27:38We could travel everywhere
27:39Yeah
27:39Right
27:40Let the world be the
27:41Main school for the kids
27:43Share new experiences
27:45Go new places
27:46Just
27:47That's kind of how I see it
27:48Hey, we saw we got
27:49A lot in common
27:50Already
27:50Yeah
27:51So
27:52I expressed to you
27:54That I was interested
27:55You know, a few times
27:56But you are interested though, right?
27:58I am
27:58Okay
27:58I like for the dialogue
28:00To be like
28:01Both ways
28:02Even though I know
28:02You were busy
28:03And you did apologize
28:04To say that
28:04But it's just
28:05I like to feel like
28:07The person is interested in me too
28:08So what does that look like to you?
28:10Just here and there
28:10Like texting like a morning
28:11Like just show me
28:13You're interested
28:13Like, uh, communicate
28:14Ed does have a very soft spirit
28:17He's very mysterious
28:18He's very laid back
28:20He's very chill
28:21That's why I was attracted
28:22To his spirit
28:23But I do want to peel back
28:25More layers
28:25And see why
28:26He's the way he is
28:28Because maybe there's a wall up
28:30Duchess
28:31I'm ready
28:32You ready to love?
28:33Yeah, I'm ready to love
28:34Well, since we have one
28:40On a date now
28:40It's only right
28:42It's past it
28:44I should have been
28:45Got the phone
28:46I'm gonna give him a fake one
28:48I'm gonna give him a fake one
28:50My connection with Steve
28:52Is definitely way stronger
28:55After our date
28:56I called it
28:57Oh, good
28:57Yeah
28:58I shined out
28:59You said it right
29:00I know how to say your name
29:01What I like most
29:03Is the fact that
29:04He wants to be a family man
29:06And he wanna do
29:07All the cute little corny stuff
29:08And like
29:09I'm kinda excited
29:10To see
29:10If we can get to that point
29:12But, um
29:13I'm ready for my second date
29:15With Steve
29:15I can get dressed right now
29:17All I wanna do is
29:19Play with you
29:21All I wanna do is
29:23Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
29:24Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
29:27¡Suscríbete al canal!
29:57¡Suscríbete al canal!
30:27Steven is really well put together, really cool.
30:30We went to a tie-dye shop.
30:32We made t-shirts.
30:33I feel like we had a good time.
30:35He laughed, we laughed.
30:36A lot of green flags.
30:37And I also like Cardi.
30:39I'm a vegan chef, so I invited a few of us out to see Cooking with Q.
30:43And we had a good time.
30:45When he first sat down with me and looked at me and smiled, his face is so bright.
30:52And I just couldn't help but to smile.
30:55But that baby couldn't cut a carry.
30:56Oh my God.
30:59Nicole.
31:00Divine and I, we had a date and we played cricket.
31:03And it was a lot of fun.
31:05Conversations have always been great.
31:06They've been natural.
31:07I think he's an awesome person.
31:09Ed is definitely a manly man.
31:11He, like, holds my hands when he's talking to me.
31:15And, like, physical touch is one of my love languages as well.
31:17So I really, really appreciate it.
31:20He's a nice guy.
31:21I like that he's very chilled and laid back.
31:23The only problem with that is I like people that like me.
31:26And he shows it a bit.
31:28Like, he kind of, like, throw a little sprinkle in there and then bag away.
31:32And me and Darius literally be on the phone for hours.
31:34He is definitely a masculine provider.
31:37He know his words.
31:38And I love that.
31:39I like that.
31:41Domini, you invited some people to your home.
31:43How was it having Bello in your space?
31:45I was like, welcome home, baby.
31:49And when he came in, you know, we, you know, we had a special greeting that nobody else saw.
31:54I felt that the spirit led me.
31:56Spirit led you to do what?
31:58What happened?
31:58What are I doing at this door?
32:00Well, a lady never kisses a tail, but I received it.
32:02It was received back, so that's all that needs to be known.
32:05All right, all right.
32:06All right, now comes the tough part.
32:09Who are you ladies not feeling?
32:12Well, from Jump, I've been telling everybody, like, I want a kind man.
32:15But Vince and I, we just don't click.
32:18The energy just seems combative.
32:20Why are you being so feisty?
32:22Like, you just, ah!
32:23I'd like to add to what you're saying.
32:26He was physically aggressive.
32:29The comedy, it was intense.
32:31He's very vocal and very in-your-face type of thing.
32:34Even how he refers to some of the women, like, mm-hmm.
32:38How does he refer to some of the women?
32:39Now, granted, this is pickle talking.
32:42It's like, oh, he's referring to, oh, that B thought I would like her because of-
32:46Whoa, so we're already done.
32:48He's the B-word?
32:48We're saying the B-word?
32:49He says, like, did anybody actually hear him call somebody a B-word?
32:53Because I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt.
32:56I heard he said it.
32:57And it was said about you.
32:58Yeah, it was.
32:58Say what now?
32:59Yeah.
32:59He called you.
33:00He called you.
33:00Yeah, girl, what's about you?
33:02You was the tall bitch.
33:03I was the bitch.
33:04You were the B-word.
33:05I've been not here that B-word.
33:07Hmm.
33:07At all.
33:08And if you hear it, I want to know you heard.
33:10Okay.
33:12All right, Christina.
33:13Anybody else?
33:14Not a connection.
33:15Bello, for me, I asked three of my interests.
33:17Yeah, I would love to go to a spa.
33:19It would make me feel so special.
33:21Chris gave me an understanding answer.
33:22I would love to, but I'm not in a position right now.
33:25The second one, he ended up sending money.
33:29What's your cash at?
33:30Absolutely.
33:31Who did that?
33:32Devon.
33:33Devon?
33:33Yes.
33:34So the thing is, when Bello didn't respond,
33:36I felt like you fell into the weak category.
33:38And at that point, you're not interested in me,
33:40and that's fine.
33:41I felt like Christina was messy.
33:44To me, it was like very na-na-na-na-na.
33:45He did this for me.
33:47And I thought it was very classless and tacky.
33:51Shana.
33:51Xavier, he gives me uncle vibes.
33:54Big ump.
33:55Big ump.
33:56Like, he's very wise.
33:58He has...
33:59Ready to love 65.
34:01Very much so, yes.
34:02It's just not a connection, no.
34:04I just feel like he's just old acting.
34:07Like, you can still be fun and spontaneous,
34:11and I just feel like he can't keep up with me.
34:12And I want to have fun with my guy, you know?
34:14We finally got a chance to talk at Shannon's house.
34:17He said, well, I like to move slow.
34:18And I said, well, it hasn't worked in the past.
34:22Has this process made you reconsider the way
34:25that you are going to approach love, relationships, women?
34:29And he said no.
34:30Mm.
34:30Oh.
34:31And so for me, I was like, okay.
34:34All right.
34:35So now comes the hard part.
34:37I want you to take these guys out on a date
34:39and let them know if they are just not ready to love.
34:46Mm.
34:47Y'all got it?
34:48Yeah.
34:48All right, ladies.
34:50Y'all sit here and chill, think about it, talk about it.
34:53And I'm gonna, yeah.
34:55Bye.
34:56Bye.
34:56Bye.
34:57Woo.
35:00I don't want to send anybody home
35:02because I feel like we all came here with a purpose.
35:04But it is a relief that now I'm getting closer
35:07to the person that I need to be with.
35:08Everybody get prepared.
35:09Put your big girl boots on.
35:11I got mine on right now.
35:12All right, y'all.
35:13Let's go do that.
35:13Yes, let's go do it.
35:15Let's want to cheers.
35:16Let's do cheers.
35:16Let's do cheers.
35:17Let's do rain and love.
35:18Rain and love.
35:18Rain and love.
35:18I can't even trust you.
35:27I don't believe it.
35:28I don't believe it at all.
35:29Why are you always lying to the same?
35:32Everybody knows you have to leave.
35:34So the women are empowered this week.
35:36And Donna has invited me out.
35:39Hey, brother.
35:42What are you doing?
35:43I am a little nervous and a little anxious
35:45about why I'm invited out.
35:47But I am optimistic and I'm ready to hear what,
35:50you know, what Donna has to say.
35:52I did order for it, so.
35:54I appreciate that.
35:55Something should be coming.
35:56Yeah, just, you know, I'd like to knock that edge off.
35:58I want you to, there's no reason for you to see that today.
36:01Life's short, so we got to live it up.
36:05I can never give it up.
36:06When I'm far, pick it up.
36:07Of course, pick it, pick it down slow.
36:09Tell me how the groove goes.
36:10Show me how you move, though.
36:11Oh, perfect.
36:12Donique.
36:12Hi.
36:13How are you?
36:14I'm good.
36:15Dominique set up a date with us at the syndicate,
36:17and she looks great.
36:20Well, you smell good.
36:21Thank you.
36:22Thank you.
36:23I do know that the ladies met with Tommy today,
36:26so that's likely someone's going home.
36:28But I don't really have any nerves.
36:30Tonight felt like date night.
36:32How'd you know?
36:35Look like that's what you like to me, an old-fashioned.
36:37You look a little old-fashioned to me.
36:39I mean, never.
36:39Oh, we got a pretzel.
36:41Can I have one?
36:41A pretzel?
36:42What?
36:44You got my hair like my grandma.
36:46I did, I did.
36:48So, um, the ladies met with Tommy today.
36:51Mm-hmm.
36:52And there was some feedback that, um, could be worked through.
36:56You referred to at least one of the ladies as a bitch.
37:00Oh.
37:01So, there's a question mark about you using that language.
37:05Obviously, we were having a joke in conversation.
37:09You and the guys?
37:09Yeah, me and the guys.
37:11And I did use the word, but I wasn't calling the, you know,
37:14I wasn't calling the lady, uh, you know.
37:18Well, that is a concern.
37:19Okay, okay.
37:20Um, is that something that you are willing to, to work on?
37:24I feel like that is something that I probably need to work on
37:28because the first thing I think about is my daughter.
37:31Mm-hmm.
37:31It's the first thing I always think about.
37:33So, I wouldn't want her to feel like, you know, are you dad?
37:38I wouldn't want her to feel like that.
37:40And so, I don't want to do that.
37:43So, I had a conversation with the ladies, and they felt some kind of way.
37:46It feels like you're not taking an initiative to actually make a connection.
37:50There's a, uh, verse to not cast your pearls amongst one.
37:56And I've learned to be somewhat guarded in what I allow people to see in myself.
38:02So, if I'm with the, with someone that I don't think can value certain aspects of me,
38:08I would try to keep it surfaced.
38:12The last point of concern, a few ladies mentioned your bluntness,
38:16and some people took it as these two opinionated.
38:18Well, it's challenging to not always speak my mind.
38:24I don't want to be a politician.
38:25I don't want to leave anybody guessing as far as what I feel and what I think.
38:31And if somebody can't understand that, they can get going.
38:37Every lady was like, no one's talked to Xavier.
38:40Why do you never ask me for my number?
38:42You can ask nobody.
38:44So, like, you are all beautiful women.
38:47But I did not want to act too quickly.
38:50In my opinion, up to this point, it was still early.
38:53Now, we've been here long enough.
38:56And I am going to start being more intentional.
38:59So, you do know you laid, you laid to the hurt.
39:02I feel like if I was to be less passionate, it's going to hurt other parts of my life.
39:09So, I understand that.
39:11But a few ladies felt like it was just too strong for them.
39:18The ladies feel like...
39:20Um, well, ultimately, the ladies did decide that...
39:25Unfortunately, Xavier.
39:29You are still ready to love.
39:31Oh.
39:31Um, which I am personally happy about because I still look forward to really connecting with you.
39:37Well, I'm happy about that also.
39:40It feels really good to hear feedback.
39:43I don't know how people take me or how people take what I say.
39:47And so, I can work on some things and I can correct some things.
39:51And this is technically our first date.
39:53Technically, this is the first time me and you got one on one.
39:56Is this heavy for a first date?
39:58It's not that heavy.
39:58It's heavy for a first date.
40:00It's not that heavy.
40:01I'm appreciative of the understanding that Donna had.
40:05I'm appreciative to still be a part of this experience.
40:08I didn't think it was that heavy.
40:09Okay.
40:10If you're okay, then I'm okay.
40:13You're not ready to love.
40:15Okay.
40:16The journey don't stop.
40:17No, it doesn't.
40:18And your person is out there.
40:19You just got to attempt to move forward and do the work.
40:23I get that.
40:24I expected to be here longer.
40:26I wanted to be here longer.
40:27But I brought myself and that wasn't enough.
40:31I came in open-hearted, open-minded.
40:33And this is where it ends.
40:34So, no love lost.
40:37I think the feedback that the ladies gave was very valid.
40:40And I accepted for what it is.
40:42So, for that, I continue to be a student of life.
40:45And I hold my head high.
40:53Next time on Ready to Love.
40:54I am hosting a throwback, 70's Motown Dance Park.
41:01You ever get overwhelmed by a presence of a person?
41:06Even with this wig on?
41:08The wig.
41:09I was receiving that man.
41:11I liked him.
41:12A friend of mine has been called a bitch.
41:15You using the B word?
41:16That's crazy.
41:17If you can't take care of me as well as my daddy take care of my mom for 39 years,
41:22I don't want it.
41:22I don't want it.
41:43I don't.
