(laughter)

if I've ever heard one.
Hi, I'm John.

- About two years.
- What happened?
- Didn't work out.
- Well, you know how relationships go, you kind of, like
start strong, and you enjoy each other's company,
and then, things just kind of slow down and get repetitive,
and you kind of just move your separate ways.
- Ruthless.
(beep), that is cold.
(laughter)
- How'd you guys meet?
- We met in Seattle, where she's from.
- When did you guys break up?

like, want different things out of the future.

settle down, and like have a long-term relationship.

(laughter)
How old was this individual?

I guess, like, the 18th and the 19th?

(laughter)
- Well, there we are.
I'm really good at my job.

so I'm back with my parents.
But, before I had a roommate and this tall one.
- Okay, so who's the roommate?

So, you bounced until something happens?
Until he or she gets out, right?
- Yeah.
- How long ago did that happen?
- Few months ago.
- How many?
- Three.
- Why?
- I'm, like ready for that next phase of my life,
and they weren't.
- Maybe you and Taylor should get together.
(laughter)
- We talked about it.
(laughter)
- So, what does he want?
- I don't know, you should ask.
'Cause I couldn't find out.
- So, what do you want?
(laughter)
- I'm just living life, man.
(laughter)
- Boy, that sounds like a lie,
if I've ever heard one,
to just cover any and all questions.
Just living life.
Blake, thanks.
Why don't you come join me, please?
What's your name?
- Alex.
- [John] Alex.
- Yes. - [John] Are you single?
- Yes. - [John] For how long?
- Since April.
- Where do you live?
- In Rodondo.
- How long were you dating this person?
- Almost three years.
- What happened?
- I guess, time just to be single.
'Cause we both really didn't have that much time
after our previous relationships, before we started dating.
It was about a month for both of us.
- How old are you?
- 25.
- Where did you guys meet?
- We worked together at a coffee shop in Santa Barbara.
- So, you guys met, and then what?
Did you come down here together, or?
How did that play out?
- We were just like, best friends forever,
and then,
like
three years after we met,
then we just kind of hooked up.
And just took it from there.
(snort)
You know how it goes.
Or not.
I don't know.
- Hey now.
(laughter)
So, you're single, you're not really dating.
How long are you not gonna be dating
until you're dating again?
- Oh...
that's hard.
- Are you dating?
- Mhmm
- When's the last date you went on?
- I'm in a relationship.
- Where do they live?
- West L.A.
- For how long?
- Three months now.
- And it's exclusive?
- Yeah.
Locked it down.
(laughter)
- Nadia, why don't you join me again?
How old are you?
- 29.
- Who had the trust issues with who?
Did you have the trust issues with them?
Or, did she have the trust issues with you?
- Both.
She started it.
- She started it?
(laughter)
- And then I finished it.
(laughter)
- All right, I'm just gonna talk through, you know,
my thought process here.
Yulita says she's been single for three months.
- That's not when I said I, that's not how long
I said I was single for.
I said that's how long I've been in a relationship for.
- In fact,
you said both.
- Okay. - You just jumped into it.
(laughter)
- Can we roll tape back?
(laughter)
- So, you bounced until something happens?
Until he or she gets out, right?
- Yeah.
- How long ago did that happen?
- Few months ago.
- How many?
- Three.
- On your second round of questioning,
you said you've been in a relationship for three months.
- When was the last date you went on?
- I'm in a relationship.
- For how long?
- Three months now.
- Nadia.
Evasive.
Vague trust issues.
Yulita was a little defensive, too.
Tried to lie her way out of a lie.
Looks pretty nervous right now, as well.
And, everybody's lying.
I do think Yulita is the key
to my
downfall or triumph.
My first guess is that you two used to date.
- Yeah, no.
(buzzer buzz)
Yeah, we just met today.
Sweet girl, I'm sure you're great,
but no, we've never dated.
- Alex, will you come sit over here?
(chair scraping)
My second guess is that you guys used to date.
(bell ding) - [Both] Yeah.
(laughter)
- I thought Yulita, I thought I sensed her getting
kind of uncomfortable as I drilled Alex more and more.
But, what threw me off is that, near the end,
oh, I think it was when you said, I don't know,
"gotta lock it down", or something.
- Locked it down.
(laughter)
- Alex got a huge kick out of that,
and that threw my whole perception that there was
some sort of, like, you know, heartbreak,
or something like that going on here,
was completely thrown out the window.
So, that threw me for a loop, and then, you know,
Nadia is just so evasive
and, like, frankly kind of nervous no matter what.
I thought, maybe she was it.
So, what went wrong?
- Just, like fundamental differences.
Just like, things that we could not work through.
- Like about what?
- There's just, like, a lot of trust issues.
- But, you know, I wasn't wrong.
I knew, I think
- [Yulita] I thought I was doing really well.
- You weren't doing bad, but I spent a lot of time on you.
And, the more time I spent on you, the more I could feel.
And then, you backed, then you contradicted yourself,
- I cracked. - which the videotape will
(laughter)
confirm.
And then, you got a little combative.
Yulita says she's been single for three months.
- That's not when I said I, that's not how long
I said I was single for.
I said that's how long I've been in a relationship for.
- In fact,
you said both.
So, I was like, "This chick is definitely hiding something".
- Damn. - Can I say chick?
I don't think I can.
- [Alex] I am pretty surprised, though.
- I thought I, yeah.
'Cause she was like, "Alex, you better not, like laugh
at everything I say", 'cause I just like
- [Yulita] Which you did.
- [Alex] Yeah, and I still did.
- [Yulita] And, he figured it out!
- [Alex] Well, no, I wasn't the first guess, though!
- [Yulita] This is why we broke up.
I'm just kidding.
(laughter)
- [John] Well, I'll take it.
