00:12This process is going great.
00:14Reveal.
00:15Mateen and I are reconnecting with each other, like, so easily, so it's kind of scary that
00:20it's, like, happening so fast.
00:21It was fun, just, like, hanging out and kicking it with you.
00:25With Camille and I, there's always been this chemistry that we have.
00:30Kind of gave me a little bit of the butterflies.
00:33We just knew each other as kids.
00:34We never dated.
00:35Like, this is the dating part.
00:37We're trying to get to know each other.
00:38I don't really have a great sense of what our romantic compatibility would be like.
00:43You so easily let the relationship go.
00:46Why?
00:47I just could not see myself getting married.
00:50I don't want this man to dump me another time.
00:53Sorry, I'm gonna cry.
00:56I don't know if you guys noticed there's an extra bed in your room.
00:59An extra bed?
01:00Uh, you know, we might have another couple coming.
01:02I'm so excited.
01:03There's a lot at stake.
01:04Is she still gonna feel the same way about me?
01:06I know how I feel about it, but I'm wondering how she feels.
01:25Hello!
01:27There might be a little group excursion today.
01:29What is it?
01:30And it will consist of a cooking class.
01:31We're gonna cook together.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Yeah.
01:34Let's do it.
01:35That's so good.
01:37I have to sit in front, guys, because I have cars.
01:40Unless you want me to throw up on the van?
01:42No, that would be unpleasant.
01:44I have to sit in front.
01:47I have to sit in front.
01:49I have to sit in front.
01:50So today, we are going to a cooking class.
01:53I feel like cooking together is really, really important in a relationship.
01:58And seeing how well we work together.
02:00You could say it's romantic.
02:14Wow.
02:15Oh, my goodness.
02:17This is incredible.
02:19Ah, buongiorno.
02:21This is crazy.
02:23What are we making here?
02:24What is this?
02:25We will make our traditional pasta from Sardinia.
02:29Ravioli di ricotta.
02:30Oh, yes.
02:32Wow.
02:32Bacon pasta.
02:33I think I figured that out.
02:35Wow.
02:37Authentic Italian pasta is just, this is great.
02:42He's the best chef in the island.
02:44His name is Pietro.
02:45My name is Piero.
02:47So, Pedro and...
02:49Pietro and Piero.
02:50Got it.
02:51Pietro, Piero.
02:52Piero.
02:52He doesn't speak English.
02:53So, I will translate for you.
02:55Perfect.
02:56Excellent.
02:57All right.
02:58Yes.
03:01So, we must be kneading the pasta.
03:04Now?
03:04Yeah.
03:05Now?
03:05Just do as he's doing.
03:07Circle.
03:09Put a little bit of water.
03:11Little, little bit.
03:12Yes.
03:13And then start kneading.
03:15He's moving.
03:16It's amazing how quickly he did that.
03:18It's not that simple.
03:20Just like love.
03:22However...
03:23As the weather goes.
03:25Yes.
03:25...
03:25I think we've only had his mom's cooking.
03:30Because we were so young when we dated.
03:32So, this should be very interesting.
03:34More water, Paul.
03:35A little bit.
03:36Mmm.
03:36I had no idea how to make pasta.
03:38I didn't even know.
03:39I mean, it's not that complicated.
03:40I should have known.
03:41Oh, I'm thinking of your pasta.
03:43But I just like adding the right amount of water.
03:46And then kneading.
03:47Paul and I kneading together.
03:49You know, it's just...
03:50It has to be the right consistency.
03:53Not unlike a relationship.
03:55I just thought about that.
03:56Pasta is like a relationship.
03:59You guys see how flour I'm eating?
04:01That was good enough.
04:03Why are you going to take my eyebrow off?
04:08So, good job.
04:09Good job.
04:10I love this.
04:11Yeah.
04:12It must become like this.
04:14So, then you will do a line and you will cut.
04:17It's the leg.
04:19Oh, my gosh.
04:21That's hard.
04:23Right?
04:24Go like this.
04:25And kneading it.
04:26Blakey always takes over when I'm like not knowing what to do or he helps me.
04:32He's giving a little, like, massage, you know?
04:35And that is something really, really important in a relationship.
04:38Because even just the little things, they mean so much.
04:41That arm workout today.
04:43You know?
04:44The man of the house.
04:47Good job, everybody.
04:48So, now we are going to put the pasta from one size big to a size a little bit smaller.
04:56You do it in increments, correct?
04:58Slowly get thinner and thinner.
05:00Exactly.
05:00Ooh, careful, careful.
05:01We are going to put a ricotta that is very typical from Sardinia.
05:05And the best ricotta is the ricotta of Perfugas.
05:09Can we taste the ricotta?
05:10Of course.
05:14I like to do everything in the kitchen.
05:16How do you feel about cooking with someone?
05:19Like, can you have someone else in the kitchen?
05:21No, I like to take control.
05:22I love to cook so that I'm like, I need a man to fix my fire.
05:26I want to make up.
05:26That's hard, though.
05:28I feel like I could, like, learn a lot about it.
05:30She is very much a take charge type of person, so I kind of let her take the lead a
05:35little bit.
05:35But I want to be in the kitchen with someone.
05:38I want to have that relationship where we're kind of doing things together.
05:41I don't even let somebody clean up.
05:44If that's not her style, and that doesn't always feel good.
05:51Wow, look at that.
05:52Look at these raviolis.
05:56Okay.
05:57Oh, my goodness.
05:58All around.
05:59Okay.
06:01Yay!
06:05That was amazing.
06:20My name is Autumn.
06:22I'm 27 years old, and I'm from San Angelo, Texas.
06:25I'm here right now in Italy to see Calvin.
06:27He invited me out here for a second chance at love.
06:34My name is Calvin.
06:35I am 34 years old, and I'm from Boston, Massachusetts.
06:38The reason I'm here in Italy is to finally rekindle with someone I had deep feelings for.
06:46Calvin and I met six years ago.
06:48I was in college in Alpine, and he was there to play baseball.
06:53First time I saw Autumn, I met her during the baseball season.
06:56I was playing professional baseball, and I spotted her.
06:59I said, all right, she is beautiful.
07:00He came up, introduced himself.
07:02We exchanged numbers.
07:03She was great vibes.
07:05We ended up hitting it off, and we're together for about five months.
07:10We had really strong feelings for each other.
07:12He was someone that I was just instantly comfortable with.
07:15I fell in love.
07:16Come to know, she felt the same way.
07:18But I was leaving, and she was going to stay back in college.
07:22We was in two different parts of our lives.
07:24He was playing travel ball.
07:26When he had to leave, it was really hard for both of us, and I was really emotional about it.
07:30So calling her and telling her about this opportunity, she was very excited for that.
07:36I think now is a good time to try to reunite and see if we could be something more.
07:41We only have two weeks here to see if this is something that is going to work.
07:46We kind of got off to a late start.
07:49My flight was delayed.
07:51Still no bags.
07:54I'm pretty nervous to see Calvin, but I'm also very excited.
07:59And I know he's been waiting a couple days for me to get here.
08:02So it's about time I finally show up.
08:06I got butterflies.
08:07I'm nervous.
08:08My hands are shaking.
08:09She's grown.
08:10I've grown as a person.
08:12I'm wondering if she still feels the same about me.
08:14My biggest fear with seeing Calvin again is that he won't feel the same spark as he did before.
08:20Six years is a really long time.
08:23I know how I feel about it, but it's just, can it happen again?
08:39I think it's amazing that they're actually going to take what we actually made today and
08:45I'm here to try and see how good we are.
08:47Right.
08:48Mine's going to be good.
08:54Oh wow.
08:55Oh my God.
08:56Okay.
08:57I'm in heaven.
08:59This is what we made?
09:00Oh my goodness.
09:02That ricotta was so good.
09:03Oh my gosh.
09:04Only one.
09:05Only one.
09:06That's it.
09:07Okay.
09:07That's it.
09:09Oh, you're not going to pray with me?
09:11That's how you feel?
09:11Sorry.
09:11You think you just do that alone?
09:14I'll let you go.
09:15No, you go.
09:16Father, please bless this food that we're about to receive.
09:19Thank you for this experience and that's bringing us closer.
09:21In God's name I pray.
09:22Amen.
09:23Mm-hmm.
09:24I want the moment of truth together.
09:27All right, here we go.
09:27Here we go.
09:32It's a real deal.
09:33Cheers.
09:34Cheers.
09:36Wow.
09:37What?
09:38Is that real?
09:39That just hits the spot.
09:41Oh my gosh.
09:42I know.
09:42We created that together.
09:43I know.
09:44Mm-hmm.
09:46Mm-hmm.
09:48Wow.
09:49They're like tiny little pillows of joy.
09:58Oh my goodness.
10:00I think normally when I have pasta, it tastes like pasta.
10:03The ravioli we made, not to brag, but it was incredible.
10:11Give a hand to yourself.
10:17So good.
10:18That's good.
10:36Hi.
10:38How are you?
10:39What's up?
10:41Oh my God.
10:43It's been so wild.
10:45I'm so happy to see you.
10:46Six years.
10:48It's too long.
10:51I feel I'm starstruck.
10:55Real quick, set up, you know, a little picnic for us.
10:59I know, you know, you like views.
11:03Here you are.
11:04Let's take a seat.
11:10So, six long years, huh?
11:13Feels like 20.
11:17This isn't surreal to me.
11:19I know.
11:21You look as beautiful as you do, so you haven't changed a bit.
11:26I was gonna say, you look exactly the same.
11:30So don't mind me if I look, I'm a little jittery, I got butterflies.
11:34Oh, it definitely is.
11:35I'm super nervous.
11:35You still give me the butterflies.
11:37You still give me the butterflies.
11:38That's a good thing.
11:39When I first saw you, the same butterflies.
11:42You know.
11:43It's a good start.
11:44It's a good start.
11:44Yeah, 100%.
11:48So why did me, to come out here and try to get a second chance with?
11:53I feel like we had a good thing just at the wrong time.
11:58Mm-hmm.
12:00You know, and...
12:01I agree.
12:03There was a lot going on.
12:04A lot going on in different places, and...
12:07The long distance.
12:08It would have been hard for us to try to make something work then.
12:12You know, I didn't want to keep living, like, thinking, like,
12:15what if, or I should have, or we should have, so...
12:20That's why you was first-round draft pick.
12:28What did you miss?
12:31To the reunion.
12:32To the reunion.
12:33Why did you ask that?
12:35So I just wanted to see if it could be something in the future for us.
12:39That's music to my ears.
12:41Mm.
12:43So...
12:44Oh!
12:48Where is it?
12:49Yeah, we're good.
12:50Nope, wait.
12:51Don't say we're good.
12:52Yeah, we're good.
12:55It's gone, it's gone.
13:01It felt like nothing has changed.
13:03It was like we, you know, we started off where we left off from before.
13:08I felt like I could sit up here all day and just, like, watch the boats and stuff.
13:11I know.
13:11I picked it out.
13:13I know you like this type of thing.
13:14It's super pretty.
13:15I'm glad you enjoy it.
13:17I'm glad you like it.
13:18I was pretty nervous, I'm not going to lie.
13:20But for that being the first time, with us seeing each other in six years, I have no complaints.
13:26My mom told me I know how to pick them a little bit.
13:28All right, leave.
13:29Yeah?
13:30Yeah.
13:34Can we make the transition to having a deeper level of intimacy?
13:38If you want, like, marriage and kids again, because that's what I'm looking for.
13:43I thought that you knew this.
13:45He is hot and cold with me.
13:47It's 45 years ago, you know, he did let me go.
13:49I wanted to reminisce about when we broke up, or as you like to say, I dumped you.
13:54It's kind of heavy.
13:56Yeah, I know.
13:56I don't know what the future holds.
14:07Are they here?
14:08It's so pretty, right?
14:10It's beautiful.
14:11Do we have new people?
14:12Yeah.
14:12Finally.
14:13Hi.
14:14Hey, guys.
14:15We got a little surprise for you.
14:16Yes, we do.
14:17Hi, guys.
14:17What's up?
14:18I'm Camille.
14:19Hi.
14:20Our next couple.
14:22The next couple's here, guys.
14:23Oh, my God.
14:25There's new people.
14:26Oh, my God.
14:27I'm Calvin.
14:28Welcome.
14:29Well, welcome.
14:30Yeah, welcome.
14:31You guys had some trouble getting here, right?
14:33Was it you?
14:34A little bit.
14:35It was LA.
14:36I had to stay the night in London, and then I just showed up today with no bags.
14:41They didn't make it either.
14:42No, it's coming.
14:44I know it's coming.
14:45I hope your bags come here tomorrow.
14:47We're going to leave you guys to it.
14:49Glad everybody met.
14:50Bye.
14:55This is kind of like our little patio area.
14:57Okay.
14:57This is funny.
14:58I'm a realtor, so I'm showing you the property.
15:02This is our living room, you know?
15:04Smooth.
15:06Come on in.
15:07Yes, this is your bed.
15:10I bet you're so happy to be here.
15:13I am.
15:15It's cool to see Calvin and Autumn finally here.
15:17We honestly have such a great group.
15:19We're here to support and just be welcoming.
15:22Let us know if it's anything we can help you with.
15:25And, you know, I think I have some extra pajamas, too.
15:28Brand new pair, actually, so.
15:29This is where we will be sleeping.
15:33And so I'm here, and then Mateen's there, and then I'm in the middle.
15:38Let's do it.
15:39Let's do it.
15:40This is going to be cool, dude.
15:42This is going to be cool.
15:43The more the merrier.
15:45It's kind of like throwing me back to freshman dorms.
15:47It's, uh, it's funny.
15:50My one thing, though, is I like to sleep.
15:53Fingers crossed he doesn't snore.
15:56We all get to do, like, a little bros, like, you know what I'm saying?
16:00Yeah!
16:00You know?
16:01Like...
16:01Yes!
16:02Yes!
16:04One, two, three, bros!
16:08Yeah!
16:08Aw!
16:10All right, let's never do that again.
16:11Yeah!
16:17Tonight is mine and Alan's first date.
16:20It always feels like when we were kids with a little crush.
16:23But I hope that this date will change the dynamic a little bit.
16:29I think it's important to kind of explore the romantic connection because we met in seventh grade.
16:36You ready, my dear?
16:38We've never really had space to move past this kind of, like, middle school dynamic.
16:43Looking all cute!
16:44Thanks!
16:45This is really the first time that I'm seeing her kind of in her full womanhood.
16:52And she's seeing me in my manhood.
16:56And, um, yeah, I'm a little nervous about it.
17:00Shall we?
17:00We look like we're about to storm a boardroom.
17:08Oh, my gosh, this is it!
17:09Is this it?
17:10Is this it?
17:10Wow!
17:12This is it!
17:13Yum!
17:13Come on!
17:15Why don't we sit, like, across from our people, our partner?
17:19I think this is me.
17:21Is this the tartar?
17:22This is the tartar.
17:23Wow!
17:23It looks like it needs to be cooked.
17:25Sparkling.
17:26So excited!
17:28It's just too great.
17:30Bon appetit!
17:35It's dangerous walking here because I'm looking at everything but where I am going.
17:40Going on this date with Alan, I'm ready to open up and see what kind of,
17:44feelings pop up.
17:46Reservations for Alan?
17:47Please.
17:48Oh, my goodness.
17:50Wow!
17:50Watch your step.
17:51Wow!
17:52I want to know who she is as a woman and what sort of things, you know, she wants in
17:58her life.
17:58And if we have compatibility around that.
18:02I'm just excited to have more conversations with her and kind of check in.
18:06This is really, really nice of you, the setting.
18:09You look amazing.
18:10Thank you so much.
18:11You look so nice, too.
18:14So how are you feeling?
18:16It's been incredible spending time with you, getting to know you a little bit better.
18:20Yeah, and I think I'm curious about what sparks romance for you.
18:28You know, that takes time.
18:30Mm-hmm.
18:31Growing up, my parents showed me love in a different way.
18:34Right.
18:35And that it was kind of seen as like, no, it's not good to be like that in public.
18:40Mm-hmm.
18:40I would never see my mom and my dad kiss before.
18:45If you're in relationship with someone, are you comfortable with affection?
18:48Behind closed doors, yes.
18:50Oh, wow.
18:51Yeah.
18:51Yeah, of course.
18:53Are you, are you an affectionate person?
18:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:58I like physical affection, being warm.
19:02And in my marriage in particular, it was not, you know, very affectionate.
19:07Uh, I'm definitely kind of more conscious of that and conscious of the, the consequences
19:12of not having that, you know, in a relationship.
19:15Have you ever thought about, um, what it would be like to be in relationship with me, like, romantically?
19:22I have not, because I just thought, you know, we're just really good friends.
19:27Mm-hmm.
19:28You said that you haven't felt a spark from here, and I feel that.
19:32I, I, I didn't say that I never had a spark with you.
19:35Oh, okay.
19:35What?
19:35I never said that.
19:36Say more.
19:37I did have that spark for you.
19:39Right now, I'm re, trying to relive that.
19:42Like, I'm going back now.
19:44Oh, really?
19:45Yeah.
19:46I need to stop drinking.
19:48Are you getting both?
19:48I love it.
19:49Maybe you're getting a spark.
19:51Oh.
19:55It's called getting the ball rolling, Leslie.
19:58So you may not know this, but we play games.
20:01I have some questions, and I'm going to ask Paul a question.
20:04Paul, are you ready?
20:05Uh, born ready.
20:06Okay.
20:07What do you think my view on marriage is?
20:12Oh, God.
20:13I didn't say they were going to be easy.
20:14Pick another one.
20:15No.
20:17No.
20:18You think it's a good thing.
20:20I, you know, I don't know.
20:20You were married.
20:21Married a great guy.
20:22I should have asked you before he did.
20:25Yeah.
20:26Uh-huh.
20:27But that has nothing to do with that question.
20:28I just, I throw that in.
20:29I like it, though.
20:30You can throw in a little something.
20:33What are all your views on marriage?
20:36Okay.
20:36I only want to get married one time in my life.
20:40I don't ever want to have any kind of divorce.
20:44I'm about that, too.
20:45I'm all about just, like, working through things, like, you know, being able to talk and work
20:49things out.
20:50I like your answer.
20:51Communication.
20:51Communication.
20:52Yeah.
20:52About it.
20:54What do you think?
20:55Uh, I think marriage is cool.
20:57Everybody thinks a marriage is the wedding.
20:59It's not just the wedding.
21:00It's a lot after the wedding.
21:02I'm terrified.
21:03Oh, God.
21:06I love the honesty.
21:07I just want to make sure that my children are protected, like, everything that I already
21:10have, and you just want to make sure you mesh with the right person, because you never
21:14know.
21:15Yeah, I would love to have a life partner.
21:18You know?
21:19I would just...
21:20Wrong guy.
21:21Don't do that.
21:21No, I mean, it's definitely something that I understand where you're coming from,
21:25but it is, you know, a little creepy.
21:28But it's a beautiful thing.
21:30It's definitely scary.
21:31It's definitely work, and you've got to find someone that's willing to put the same amount
21:36of work in as you.
21:37You are a team, and it's teamwork, and it's how you work together, and your ultimate goals.
21:42I love marriage, and I loved being married.
21:44I haven't been married, so I'm just going off of what I see, you know?
21:49But I think it's a beautiful thing.
21:52I like that.
21:56I didn't say that I never had a spark with you.
21:58So I think there was that spark, but then I think we just didn't really, like, explore
22:02it to this, like this, to this extent.
22:05Right.
22:06You know, when you came to visit me in Vegas, and we tried it out, we had such a great
22:11time.
22:12So great.
22:12I mean, it was so much fun.
22:14And then life moved on, right?
22:17Yeah.
22:19First of all, do you feel any spark for me?
22:22Definitely when we reconnected in Vegas as adults, I definitely felt that spark and to
22:29the point where I was considering, you know, switching up my entire life so that we could
22:33explore it.
22:34We did not.
22:35Really?
22:35Yeah.
22:36I seriously considered that.
22:38And that was, again, it was like a sliding door moment in my life.
22:42Yeah.
22:42It was like a fork in the road.
22:44I could have gone either way.
22:46So can we make the transition from being friends to having a deeper level of intimacy?
22:53That's kind of the open question right now.
22:55It is an open question.
22:55And I think that I'm, there is, I feel like there's a possibility for, you know, on my
23:02side.
23:03Hmm.
23:09I'm waiting for you to answer and not laugh.
23:13Do what?
23:13I'm waiting for you to answer.
23:14What were we talking about?
23:19Don't make me pull one out and start sword fighting.
23:24Absolutely.
23:25You know, I wouldn't, you know, wouldn't have invited you here if I didn't think that.
23:29Yeah.
23:30And, um, I think it could be like a pretty explosive, you know, relationship.
23:35No, me too.
23:35I, I wanted to get more deeper into knowing like what you wanted in a relationship.
23:42And if you want like marriage and kids again, and because that's what I'm looking for.
23:49Yeah.
23:50Um, hopefully.
23:50You do, you do.
23:51I thought that you knew this.
23:57I don't want to get hurt.
23:58I want to go slow with you.
24:00Having someone like love me is scary.
24:03It's just like pretty much taking us, you know, to the next level.
24:06We talked about, you know, getting married and, oh, wow.
24:10The M word.
24:16I do want to get married again.
24:18Okay.
24:18And I thought that you knew this.
24:21I want to get married again.
24:23And for me to have children.
24:25That's one of the biggest things that I look for in someone.
24:29I want, for them to want the same thing.
24:39Mm-hmm.
24:40If I did have another kid, I would want it to be with someone that I care about and a
24:45respect
24:45and a love.
24:46This would check the boxes on that for me.
24:49I'm a full time single dad.
24:51My kids are 16 and 11.
24:54I love both of my kids at every stage.
24:57The experience of having children is amazing.
25:00And I would love to do it again.
25:02Kids are amazing.
25:03You get to love them at every age.
25:05Yeah.
25:05I tell them that I love them all the time.
25:07I see a softer side of Alan that is nurturing and caring.
25:12He's so genuine about how he wants his kids to be happy and that touches me.
25:17Because I also want to have kids and I want to have the experience that he's had.
25:23If we did, you know, have kids or something like that, our kids are going to be gorgeous.
25:28Yeah.
25:28Tall.
25:33It's been really nice.
25:34Because I, for me, you know, like doing this and to see this side of you.
25:39Pictures.
25:46It's been great talking to you guys.
25:49We're going to exit.
25:50See you later, roomies.
25:52Ah, that was so good.
25:53And that was so much fun.
25:55I'll walk you to your room.
26:00You asked me if I snore at night?
26:02Yes.
26:03Well, one day, if you're lucky, you'll find out.
26:05I have.
26:05I play my cards right.
26:07I might just find out.
26:10Bye.
26:11I thought you didn't let people touch me this quickly.
26:15No PDAs out there.
26:16Yeah.
26:17But this is, this is a, you know, that was...
26:19This is a lot already.
26:20This is a lot.
26:21This is a lot happening.
26:22But, but it's nice.
26:23No.
26:23This is nice.
26:24I guess I should be on it, right?
26:31I got soft hands.
26:33You were reading my palm the other night.
26:35So I think that you're going to live a long life.
26:39That's good.
26:40I'd like that.
26:40And we're going to have 12 kids.
26:4212 kids.
26:44It's a lot.
26:46It's really not.
26:47It's a lot.
26:47If you, if you think about it, like, we're, we could do it.
26:51You know what?
26:53Whatever, whatever, you know.
26:55I think whatever makes you happy, I'm okay with.
26:58How about that?
27:00That makes me happy.
27:02I definitely want to be like a dad someday.
27:04And I definitely want to have like a family.
27:06And I want to do all that stuff.
27:08Yeah.
27:08You know.
27:10I don't know.
27:11What are you thinking?
27:13I just want to be, I want to go slow with you.
27:17And like, you know.
27:19I'm all about that.
27:21It's not that I don't like care about you a lot.
27:23You're just like, no.
27:24There's absolutely no rush to like, any of this.
27:27Well, I don't, I don't want to get hurt.
27:30I get scared of like, those kinds of things.
27:32Like, yeah.
27:33Like for me, before coming here, I, I was in a relationship, you know, with her for four years.
27:43And, um.
27:45You know, like tell me a little bit about all that.
27:48Cause, is that weird to ask you?
27:51No.
27:52Cause I want, I want you to be open and everything.
27:55You know.
27:56Yeah.
27:56She went to London and she broke up with me over FaceTime.
28:04That was fun.
28:04And then I thought that she wanted a ring.
28:10What?
28:11And I proposed.
28:12And, uh, she left me standing in the middle of the street and drove away.
28:17And that was the last time I spoke with her.
28:20And, but you know what?
28:24I wouldn't have traded any of that for the world because I know that my person would never go and
28:32do that to me.
28:34By going through all of that, I'm here now.
28:39Right.
28:40And I never thought that I would be doing any of this, especially like with you.
28:48And it's just.
28:49And I'll get into my steps.
28:51Yeah.
28:51At some point.
28:52I'm not fully ready to open up.
28:57Just give me some time.
28:59But I, I just want to say I really do appreciate you opening up to me.
29:03It means so much.
29:04Like that truly means the world to me.
29:07Anything for you.
29:12He could be vulnerable with me.
29:14So that means a lot.
29:18I need to open up, but I'm just a bit nervous to let him in my heart.
29:38Leslie.
29:39Leslie.
29:40Leslie.
29:41Are you?
29:42Sorry.
29:43You okay?
29:43I'm so sorry.
29:44I had to wake you up to tell you.
29:45I had such an amazing date.
29:48We talked about like some pretty.
29:51Big step you hadn't talked about before.
29:53Yeah.
29:54I mean like family, you know, like, cause I, we've never spoken about that before.
29:59And I told him like, you know, getting married and.
30:01Oh, wow.
30:02The M word.
30:03Just ask him like a general question about like marriage and kids.
30:06Would he ever have.
30:07He's willing to have more children.
30:09Yeah.
30:10And it would mean a lot to me and my whole world.
30:14If I got to, you know, have children one day.
30:17So I'm really glad that we had this time to talk because we just really opened up to one
30:23another.
30:23And I think like, you know, it's just like pretty much taking us, you know, to the next
30:29level and like, um, openness, you know.
30:32Now you can really move forward because you have established like, but.
30:38Yeah.
30:38I mean like, honestly, I cannot wait to see Alan in the morning.
30:43Wow.
30:44I know.
30:45Or just tell me the story all over again in the morning.
30:47Yes.
30:48If I can remember it.
30:49Yeah.
30:50Okay.
30:51Good night.
30:59Does he want more children?
31:01Um, I wouldn't know.
31:03I think we need to explore this.
31:07So about our conversation at the swimming pool.
31:10Are you going to make me cry or something again?
31:12No, no, no.
31:14Okay.
31:39I have a question.
31:40I know a lot.
31:40I've never heard of him.
31:41What are you doing, getting ready, sir?
31:42I was cleaning up, but, um...
31:44That's better.
31:45You're still a little pasty right here.
31:47I know. I know.
31:48Here we are again, we are again.
31:52Ooh, yeah, actually, I liked how you did that.
31:55Write it down. We got plenty of paper.
31:59Ellen.
32:01You were up looking at the pictures?
32:02Yeah, that was so fun yesterday.
32:08Yesterday, we had this romantic evening.
32:11I think it was incredible, actually.
32:14You know, I'm still kind of, like, unpacking it and letting it settle.
32:18I'm trying to learn how to swim.
32:20I know how to float, but as soon as I stick my head up or something, I sink.
32:24Oh.
32:26Would you want to learn how to swim in the pool?
32:27I would definitely, but no one has ever been successful teaching me how to swim.
32:31You just have to feel safe in the water.
32:34Trust the water?
32:35Yeah.
32:36I have issues with trust.
32:37I want to be in control.
32:39Yeah, yeah.
32:39I'd be like, jump in, three, two, one, and then we all leave you.
32:51Live your best life, Paul.
32:55It's really deep here.
33:01Do you girls have your personality?
33:04At times, but they are Scorpio, so they're very emotional.
33:08But when you talk to Mateen about your family unit and your expectations, does he want more
33:13children?
33:15Um, I wouldn't know.
33:17That's a great question.
33:19I think we need to explore this.
33:22Right.
33:23Me and Mateen have been, you know, going with the flow, keeping it light.
33:27And I mean, maybe that's something that we need to flip soon, because we do need to get
33:31into those deep conversations and questions.
33:33But I'm sure those things will come up.
33:35How do you even broach that?
33:37So, did you want to have a baby with me?
33:47What are you guys expecting after this?
33:50Because I've done the long-distance stuff, and it's hard.
33:53Has she been to Boston?
33:54She hasn't.
33:55Okay.
33:56Do you think she would move from Texas?
33:58No, I can move.
33:59Yeah.
34:00I was talking to Leslie about it yesterday.
34:01I was like, would you be cool moving back up to Washington?
34:04She's like, yeah, I'm from there.
34:05Like, I don't have a problem with doing that.
34:06So, problem solved.
34:08There you go.
34:09That would have been great.
34:10Yeah.
34:11So, awesome.
34:15Do you feel like something's going to come out of this between you and Paul?
34:20He is hot and cold with me, and I don't know if he's guarding his heart.
34:24He's been guarding my heart, too.
34:26Because 45 years ago, you know, he did let me go.
34:30And so, I am not going to be in my 60s and get done for a second time in my
34:35life.
34:35But I'm telling you, I feel like he's all in.
34:38Really?
34:39I think he adores you.
34:40I really do.
34:41But yeah, I think he does.
34:43I think he does.
34:44Okay, cool.
34:44I see it.
34:45Okay.
34:57This place is adorable.
34:59Two things I want to buy already.
35:01Really?
35:03Razmi and Alan and Paul and I are all going shopping.
35:07What is this store?
35:08Ooh.
35:08Wow.
35:09I'm trying to learn how to swim, and I'm going to find a swimming suit.
35:14I just need a couple outfits.
35:16Also, Paul.
35:17I like that.
35:18You do?
35:19I think someone that Prince would wear.
35:21Okay.
35:21I think it's time that he step up his wardrobe a little bit.
35:25I spare swimsuits over here.
35:27Oh, yes.
35:28Oh, my gosh.
35:29We're going in here.
35:30Okay.
35:30Will you guys have fun?
35:32I can't even take everything.
35:35No, there's not one thing I don't like, so what am I supposed to do?
35:38Paul, look.
35:39You would look so cute in this.
35:41That's actually not bad.
35:42Oh.
35:43And in black to be elegant when we go out.
35:47I'm not buying three.
35:48I'll get two.
35:49I'll get two.
35:53You definitely want to pick something that you're going to be comfortable swimming in
35:58that will help you learn how to swim.
36:02I think that this is going to be very comfortable, but I still don't think that you guys are going
36:09to succeed.
36:10That's the spirit.
36:14All this time with Alan, especially after our first date, I've gotten to that next level
36:20with Alan of openness.
36:23Yeah, I feel like it is going somewhere.
36:33When Leslie and I were dating, my priority was my career.
36:38I think that had a lot to do with why we separated.
36:43Is it me?
36:45Given the chance, if things were to progress in the future, I mean, I wouldn't make that
36:50mistake again.
36:53So, I wanted to reminisce.
36:55I was reminiscing for a moment about our conversation at the swimming pool.
37:00Do you remember?
37:02And when...
37:04It's kind of heavy.
37:05Yeah, no, not too.
37:06Are you going to make me cry or something again?
37:07No, no, no.
37:08I just wanted to, you know, that...
37:10I just wanted to unfold.
37:11When we broke up, or as you like to say, I dumped you.
37:15Well, you...
37:17I don't know if I...
37:19You disengaged with me?
37:20I don't know if I told you how...
37:21You uncoupled?
37:23Sorry, how profoundly sorry I am for that.
37:28For that.
37:29Are you?
37:30Well, we have all regrets in life.
37:33And you know that was, like, my biggest one.
37:36And that...
37:37Okay, seriously.
37:38I would never give you...
37:39Like, in your whole life.
37:41Yeah, yes.
37:43I don't know what the future holds, but I will never, ever do that again.
37:49So, I just wanted you to know that.
37:51But I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.
37:53Don't be so...
37:58You're welcome, baby.
38:01Paul looking in my eyes with such sincerity and such sorrow that he hurt me, and that he
38:07truly could empathize.
38:09He could feel what I felt so many years ago.
38:12Oh, my God.
38:13Okay, so this hat?
38:14You were looking at this hat, were you?
38:15I won't forget this.
38:17I won't forget this moment, ever.
38:18Whatever happens to us, I'm going to know that he is a good soul, and he is a good man.
38:24Retail therapy, my own man.
38:27Oh, my God.
38:37Thank you guys so much for the hangers.
38:40You guys are so sweet, though, thinking about your new roommate.
38:44Last night, when we all were, like, relaxed, and it reminded me of high school, like, just
38:48chilling and vibing out with friends, listening to music.
38:51Same, same, same.
38:51It was really nice.
38:52How do you think you and Blake are doing?
38:54I don't know.
38:55I'm just, like, excited.
38:56Like, you're his person, maybe?
39:00You're not?
39:01Oh, baby.
39:02Sorry.
39:02Big question, Leslie.
39:04No, it is a big question.
39:05It is a big question.
39:07I think, like, with me, it is hard for me to open up, and I really want to with him,
39:15but I'm just taking it, like, one step at a time.
39:17So I just, I don't, I'm going slow, slow with everything.
39:21It's hard for me because, like, I have had bad relationships in the past, and, like, I
39:26always thought of Blake because he was just such a kind-hearted person.
39:31He is, like, somebody that, like, like, I just feel like he could be, like, a great
39:36husband, and so, like, that's why I'm trying to, like, explore those feelings and just
39:40everything.
39:41Ooh, we went the husband route.
39:44You said, you heard what they said.
39:46Let me get that fan.
39:47Let me get that fan.
39:48I need the fan.
39:49I'm embarrassed for her.
39:51No, but that's sweet.
39:52That is sweet.
39:53They're, like, good feelings, but, like, scary feelings.
39:56Yeah.
39:56You know what I mean?
39:56It's, like, I don't know.
39:57But what is your biggest fear?
39:59When somebody gives me so much attention and all of that, it freaks me out.
40:05Oh, that's sweet.
40:05And I'm just, like, whoa, like, we need to back up a little.
40:08It's, like, I know that he's such a good guy, and, like, with the relationships that
40:13I've been in, having someone, like, love me in, like, such a healthy way is scary for
40:19me.
40:20To be continued.
40:21Oh, yes.
40:22To be continued.
40:23To be continued.
40:23With the previous relationships that I've been in, I've, like, I was really hurt.
40:31I worked on myself for two years, and I thought that I was there, you know?
40:36Like, I thought that I was feeling, like, I mean, I do feel confident in myself.
40:42But I just hope that Blake will just give me some time to figure things out.
40:56Come on, Lottie!
41:00I just want to see if this can work.
41:03I'm getting flashes of what we had back then.
41:08You know, when somebody gets too close to me, I am just scared.
41:14So we're halfway through.
41:16Would you be romantically interested in me?
41:20Um...
41:22I gotta go.
41:24Yeah?
41:24Yeah.
