Hello.
Hello, darling.
- Funny seeing you-- - Funny seeing you.
- --in a place like this. - --here.
I know. I know.
I know.
At the mansion, Sue Ann was kind of giving me mixed signals.
It was so hot and cold with her.
I guess, I was intrigued.
And then I didn't get too much time
to talk to her at the lunch.
So I invited her on a date to get to know her a little more.
I came up with this plan because I wanted to impress you.
You know what I mean? - Oh.
You got to see my whole thing, so--
OK.
--make it look like I got dressed up a little bit.
You know what I mean?
Were you dressing up for me?
A little bit.
Oh.
You know what I'm saying?
My first impression of Lyndon was, wow, fun.
But I don't know if it's necessarily love vibes.
The energy at the mixer just felt
like, OK, this is going to be a tough wall to break down.
You were thinking that I was going to be a tough wall?
Well, yeah.
Were there easier walls?
Man, girls were asking me all types of [BLEEP]..
They were-- like they were really going at me.
- Really? - Yeah.
What was the hardest question?
There was like, oh, you live with somebody.
I heard you live with somebody.
[LAUGHS] Like, me and Corvaya were talking about--
Do you live with someone?
I live with my little brother.
Oh, well, I thought you were saying you lived with a woman.
And I was like, yeah, that would be a red flag.
Oh, no, well, that's weird.
I'm always looking for context.
Because Corvaya doesn't know if Lyndon
is living with his brother, because he's building
a mansion on Star Island.
Or if he's living with his brother,
because he has a medical condition and needs extra help.
So I feel like it's important to always have context,
especially in Miami.
You can't just judge someone off the bat for something
like that.
You feel like you have a wall up because of disappointment
maybe in like past relationships?
Yes.
It's like the honeymoon phase or like the person you put on
to be when it's all beginning.
You don't want to do this. And you don't want to do that.
And you don't want to say this.
What are the things that you don't want to do
during the honeymoon phase-- - It could be as simple as--
--like snoring, using the bathroom
in front of each other?
Yeah, it could be answering a phone
call from a female friend.
That's a real example.
- That's a big one. - Yeah.
OK.
There's female friends who are OK.
Female friends that you're not sleeping with.
- I'm not sleeping with. - OK.
Like that's for sure something that I've had to deal with.
You work at--
you manage-- - Yeah.
--the nightlife and entertainment.
- Exactly. - OK.
So it is extremely difficult. I
get accused for doing things all of the time,
just because I have to be nice.
- OK. - You see what I'm saying?
Customer service.
- It's hospitality. - Right.
It's hard to get past it.
Because I always get like, oh, you're doing that on purpose.
And you want to be the big boss.
And I'm just like, yo, I just--
I am.
- Yeah, I am. - I am.
I am the big boss.
But that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, but it's like-- but that's what I'm talking about.
So what is your response in that conversation?
Because I feel like you have to take some responsibility
for how the person is feeling.
Are you saying, no, babe, let me rub your feet
when we get home, thanks for coming?
Or are you like, oh, you're so annoying?
Try to explain yourself as much as possible.
But not-- is the explanation that
you're giving reassuring her or just explaining your job again?
That's a good question.
Could I be more reassuring?
[SIGHS] It's my job to engage with people.
I can't not be who I am at my job.
Because part of my job is my personality.
Maybe I wasn't explaining my job.
You know, explaining my job feels like something that I
would do instead of reassuring.
If you're not being like engaged emotionally.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't say I've been great with that.
Overall, the date and our interaction went well.
But I just don't want to emotionally
groom a man at this point.
I want someone to come ready, open, vulnerable,
and just ready to love.
And I just don't think he's there yet.
You see this is me stepping out of my comfort zone--
I see.
--and stuff and like putting my feelings on the table--
- You better. - --right next to the salmon.
Ready to love it.
[LAUGHS] Ready to love it.
Ready to love it.
I don't know if I learned a lot more about Sue Ann.
I mean, we had like good conversation.
But it just felt like conversation.
I'm not writing her off completely.
But I don't know if the connection was as strong
as I was hoping it to be.
Oh, here you go.
Thank you!
- This belongs to you. - Right.
My life is in here.
