Who's he on a date with today? Did you meet this girl?
I did.
I think it was some school teacher named Kay, girl.
Not some school teacher named Carrie.
Was she pretty?
She was cute.
She was cute and old-fashioned.
I think that's what he needs. [LAUGHS]
Well, girl, I'm gonna let you go.
Call me when it's all over. Let me know how it went.
I surely will, girl.
Enjoy your night.
Bye.
Honey, I'm home.
Look, you can come down here.
I'm just down here journaling.
What you journaling?
I was just creating slogans for the grow note.
- Oh, OK. - You know.
Oh, you doing a little--
I called myself.
--a little assistant work, my sexy assistant?
[LAUGHS] You're so funny.
So how was your date?
My date was actually good with Miss Kay.
I know.
It was surprisingly very good, you know what I'm saying?
She had a good-- - Why do you say "surprisingly?"
I didn't really what to expect, man.
Because she's like-- to me, I didn't think somebody like
that would really be kind of--
What do you mean somebody like that?
She's like fine wine.
Like, she's-- she's very mature. - Older, mature.
- Yeah. - OK.
So it's like I don't know what to really expect.
But-- - She wasn't Sheila?
[LAUGHS]
No, she wasn't Sheila.
But she was a very good date, I have to say, you know?
I was-- she was a perfect woman on a date
and I was a perfect gentleman.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh, a very proper date.
She was very, like, a very good listener.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Gave great advice. You know what I'm saying?
She had a--
What was some of the advice she gave you?
So I asked her about some of the stuff
that we talked about, as far as, like, you know, boundaries.
And about-- I tried to keep it, like--
- In general. - --just talk about that.
But then kind of get to know her.
- Right. - Let her get to know me.
So we-- we got through some stuff.
So I definitely think it's important
that I tell Kat everything that happened on the dates,
because she feels as if I omit information.
And I definitely am not trying to do that,
and I'm trying to be as honest as possible.
I'm trying to really take the steps that I need to make her
feel safe, and any insecurities that she has so she
don't have those anymore.
Oh, if you got an opportunity for her to allow you to see
what I see a lot of the times?
I tried to.
She was impressed.
I think she-- she might be jealous.
Look, I don't think she's jealous.
[LAUGHTER]
I think she's a year back of yourself.
[LAUGHTER]
I don't think Katherine was jealous.
And that definitely feels like growth for me.
I've been seeing growth in a lot of different places,
which makes me more confident in trying to get married with her.
So do you feel like y'all had a connection?
Or, like, where are you at with that?
I mean, she has, to me, as far as connection,
you know, she's a military brat.
Hm.
You know what I'm saying?
They are aligned in ways.
In ways, yeah.
So I think we are aligned in those type of ways.
I don't see no, like-- to be honest, like, I probably
would try to talk to Sheila if I was single more than this one.
Yeah.
But at this time, like, this person also is very--
Would be more productive.
Intriguing, productive is kind of where I'd be at.
Like, I think I-- maybe I might be
thinking I'm a little bit more mature for my age sometimes.
- Ah. - Maybe not.
I don't know. - But she definitely--
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, I'm like, I don't feel that way.
Put it in perspective today, like--
Yeah, yeah, she definitely did that
by just letting me know how she felt about what I was
talking about and everything.
Even though the date was good and everything like that,
and I liked it the way I liked it.
I also thought about--
maybe because-- because I'm like, we do align up.
But I don't know if it will work, per
se, between me and this person.
Maybe I'm a little intimidated, you know what I'm saying?
Because she's a very established woman, seems to me.
And I ain't going to lie, I was a little intimidated.
You got to step your game up, Ricky.
I mean, I-- you know, I'm going to go with the flow.
Yeah.
But at the same time, you know what I'm saying,
it might be because I'm a little intimidated
and want to see if, like, if I'm really on that-- that level.
Yeah.
I mean, but you should bounce up in this relationship.
- I am trying, frantically. - Oh yeah.
- Frantically. - OK.
But--
Let me go get my Coretta Scott King
dress so you can feel like you need to step up to the plate.
You already be doing that.
I didn't really know what to expect after Ricky's date
with Kay.
But I can definitely tell that he's paying attention
to how the date made him feel.
He definitely is ready to talk about everything
that they talked about.
She made him feel heard.
And so, like, hey, I'm looking for to, you know,
how my date makes me feel with Marcus.
I'm still not really clear as to-- you know, like,
I'm going to support you if you go on a second date.
OK.
Because I definitely want to understand,
you know, what's going through your mind when you do
want to go on a second date with her outside of you
just kind of stepping up to the occasion of her maturity
and her making you feel intimidated.
OK.
I'm going to think about it.
I'm going to sleep on it.
I feel good,
Well, you're almost at the finish line.
I got my date with Marcus coming up,
and then we'll seal the deal with crossing the finish line.
Uh-huh.
You know what happens after that.
Y'all don't got to get all deep voice serious with me.
I got to.
That's what men do.
[LAUGHTER]
