[Sophie] Previously on "The Single Life."
Girl's trip -- Whoo!
I've recently filed for divorce.
So what better way to celebrate than with a girl's trip?
[Julia speaking]
I've been talking to this guy. His name is Pedro.
And yeah, it is that Pedro from Chantel and Pedro.
But I don't wanna rush it the same way
I rushed my marriage.
I'm still technically married.
Yeah.
[Gino] I wanna look good for Natalie,
so I bought a couple of new shirts.
My first attempt at dating Natalie,
it didn't go very well.
But I asked her if I could visit her, and she said, "Yes."
I have some nervousness. It's a little nerve-wracking.
I know it's my last shot, and I cannot mess it up.
-I have two roommates. -Oh, [bleep] two.
I used to date one of them. Sadly, I cheated on her.
It is hard as [bleep] to find a good man in your 50's.
[Jamal] Maybe dating isn't something you should be
stressing too hard about.
You have a lot of other things going on.
I've been carrying a really big secret for about 30 years.
Jamal has an older brother named Larry
that I put up for adoption.
You think you're gonna have a deep talk with him?
I have to have a deep talk with him.
About what?
Larry wasn't the only child that I put up for adoption.
I also had a daughter.
[sobs]
[upbeat music playing]
[Rafael speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking]
[singing in Spanish]
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[in English]
How'd your conversation go?
We're getting to know each other, but that's the extent
that I'm ready for right now. He just lets me open up myself
It will be better for me.
Yes.
Step forward. Yeah, yeah.
Pedro's coming on very strong.
You know what Pedro asked me? He asked me if I [bleep] Rob.
And what do you say?
-I said... -True?
Yeah, I said the truth. Why am I going to lie?
And what did he say?
-He was not happy. -[gasps]
Like, I feel like he kind of was, like, judging me.
[Sophie speaking]
-Hi, sorry. -Oh, hi [laughs].
-Villa. -What's up, bro?
-Man. -Hi.
-How you doing? -I'm having a great time.
So Sophie's definitely been like, like, "He's the first guy
to buy me flowers."
And she said that you're so, like, respectful.
Like, very sweet. You're very sweet and romantic.
-Are we serious about her? -I am.
[Liz] Are y'all?
-[Pedro] I am. -OK
I think, you know, she just recently is just
getting out of this
marriage and relationship.
And it seems like you've been kind of separated
and divorced for a while.
She's in the beginning stages of trying to, like,
discover, like, where she's at.
No, no, no, not discover more.
She needs to -- she's still healing.
[Liz] Healing, yeah -- yeah.
[Villa yelling]
[Villa] What are we interrupting right now?
-Nothing, absolutely nothing. -[Pedro] What are we doing?
[Villa] Nothing?
No.
I'm ready for bed.
[Pedro speaking]
I came to the DR to be single and mingle, and first night,
crushed it.
I'll see you tomorrow, OK?
Make sure he gets home safe.
I'll go ahead and give you a text so you have
my number, OK? -Thank you.
-All right. -All right, have a good night.
I even got a number. Villa is so sexy and so sweet.
I'm so excited to see him again.
Yes.
Yeah, let me know what you wanna do.
OK.
Yeah, I wanna go to the beach.
Honestly, for me, the night has just been very overwhelming.
And Pedro definitely came on a lot stronger tonight
than I anticipated. Him
pushing me forward or trying to pressure me
to something is only gonna make me step back.
And things between us are just gonna end
before they've even started.
Pedro just needs to take things a little bit slower.
Thank you.
And then...
[Sophie] OK, see you tomorrow.
[Sophie] Bye. You too.
[seagulls squawking]
[birds chirping]
[soft, tense music playing]
As much as I wanna sit here and talk about how I feel bad
for you and stuff, -I don't expect you to feel bad
for me. I never asked you to.
I know, I don't.
[soft, tense foreign music playing]
Like, I know it's a lot for you.
But I caused it.
[Jamal] Yeah, it's your fault.
So I just don't have Jamal as a son.
I have Larry, who I put up for adoption when I was
21 years old.
Last year, when I told Jamal all of this,
and all of this opened,
it hurt worse, because hid it for so long.
[Jamal] It just sucks, dude.
Like, me thinking I was the only child,
but then finding out not only my not only child, I have,
like, multiple siblings.
Larry wasn't the only child that I put up for adoption.
I also had a daughter a year later.
My relationship with Jamal's dad at that point was not good,
and I had to do what was best for me at the time.
I don't regret what I did, but I'm not happy
with what I did either.
Um...
Because you're bringing these beautiful beings
into this world.
And you feel that motherly love,
and you feel that maternal thing,
and knowing what you're doing and knowing that you're giving
them up for adoption
is probably one of the hardest thing I think any birth mother
has to go through.
I knew about my sister when I was 12,
and then I found out about Larry
'cause he found you a year ago.
It's like, why in that gap you didn't just tell me
about him? -I just didn't know how.
I really just did not know how.
When Jamal was 12,
he overheard me and my mother talking about his sister,
and that's how Jamal found out.
I think I only told Jamal about Gwen because I just thought
to me, like, one would make sense, but to do it twice?
I didn't wanna [bleep] him up.
Did I handle it well? -- No.
Not at all.
[Jamal] I don't know. I really feel for Larry
not telling him about our full blood sister.
I feel like, every time I talk to him it's like I'm, like,
hiding a truth from him,
and I feel like [bleep] about it.
Do you not think I feel like [bleep] too?
I didn't tell Larry about his sister
when he first found me,
because I was trying to get to know him.
He was trying to get to know me,
and I just couldn't figure out a way to tell him.
But now Larry wants to come visit us,
and I have to go into this being completely 100% transparent.
We can't build a strong, honest relationship
if I'm keeping secrets from him.
So I'm gonna tell him about his sister,
but I feel like I don't want you to be there when I tell him,
so don't worry about that. I'll take care of it myself.
[Jamal] Why would I not be there?
I feel like I do wanna be there 'cause, like,
and I don't wanna sound like a dick, but I don't know
what you're gonna tell him.
[Kim] I'm gonna tell him the truth.
I don't know. I don't know.
I feel...
really protective of Larry, because I don't want my mom
to lie to him like she lied to me.
I'm hoping me and my mom can get back to how we used to be.
But it's gonna take a lot of rebuilding of trust,
like her actually being transparent with Larry.
'Cause right now, I just don't trust her anymore.
[sighs], anyway, let me know when Larry's coming.
[groans]
-Al right, I'm out. -[Kim] All right, love you.
[Jamal] Bye.
[sobs]
[Kim] Telling Larry about his sister is gonna be
really difficult.
But I know I have to do this because it's killing me.
It is literally killing me.
And it's like -- I feel like I'm, like, drowning sometimes,
and I have to, like, swim just to get to the top.
♪♪
You know, the way I handled it was terrible.
It was awful.
Do you think this was easy for me to live with
my whole life?
For 35 years? 34 years?
It was awful.
All of this has affected my self-esteem, my self-worth.
But I feel like now I have to, like, gain Jamal's trust back.
I want to build a bigger relationship with Larry,
and I feel like I wanna find love.
I want somebody to accept me for all this craziness
that's going on.
I think having Larry out here and just talking to him
and being real and then, you know, just having
transparent conversations is gonna help a lot.
That's what I'm hopeful for.
[Colt] Morning, family.
-Good morning. -Morning.
Cortney and I met two months ago at a singles retreat
in Mexico. Things got romantic.
So she invited me to live with her in Florida
at her parents' house.
[Jane] There it is. There it is.
Ooh, nice one.
Wait, what did she exactly say?
To go behind my back, that's breaking girl code.
Like, you don't do that. I'm really pissed.
[romantic music playing]
-No, just us. -OK, OK.
How come most golfers bring two pairs of pants with them?
I don't know -- why?
In case they get a hole in one.
[laughs] I like that.
So I got to bring three pair with me.
[Jane continues laughing]
Get some more pants, yeah.
-[laughs] -[Fred] Huh.
[rattling]
[Cortney speaking]
-So-so. -[Fred] Huh?
[Jane] Good morning, sunshine.
♪ Watch out, I'm a clever, clever girl ♪
♪ Trip you up in conversation ♪
♪ Watch out, Imma rock your world ♪
♪ Race to the punch, you'll find I've been waiting ♪
Well, I'm glad you're up, Cortney, because this morning
I woke up at four o'clock, 'cause I was freezing,
and I looked at the thermostat, and it was set on 67 degrees.
-What does that say right now? -76.
Yeah, and that's where it's gonna stay,
because we pay the bills.
I'm Cortney. I'm 34.
I live with my parents in Orlando, Florida.
So hot last night, I couldn't sleep.
Cortney, when you own your own house, you can freeze
all you want.
I live with my parents because they're better
than any roommate I've had.
Sorry.
Yeah, sorry. That don't pay the bills.
And also, when I've lived with roommates,
it's so much drama.
It's almost like being in the jungle or something.
I think I'm just, like, prancing around
like a little just gazelle, whatever they're called,
and people are just like, "Ah!"
I don't need that in my life. I just want peace, quiet.
Like, live a nice retirement lifestyle.
When we were your age, we were almost
on our second home by then.
With two little kids and mouths to feed.
[giggles nervously]
[Cortney] I've been telling my parents for years
I don't wanna move out until I get married,
but my love life has been 9all drama.
[both laugh]
[Cortney] One of my biggest heartbreaks was Antonio.
We met online. I flew to Spain to meet him.
We got along great. Like, I thought he was the one,
but there were too many trust issues.
Like, I picked up your phone for, like, five seconds,
and you're, like, texting, like, Angel,
Paulina, Maria.
[Antonio] What's the problem? I got friends.
OK.
Since Antonio, I've dated a bunch, but it seems like
things always end with me in tears.
It makes me sad how much you've changed, and like how --
I don't like it.
And I think my parents are starting to worry that I might
be living with them forever.
I love living with you guys.
I think you're the best roommates I've had.
Well, yeah, because Mom does your laundry for you and cooks
for you and gets your groceries and...
-What is this? -Oh, my God!
-Oh. -Sorry, Mom.
-[Fred] What's that all about? -I have no idea.
You put your underwear in my mom's laundry.
-Again. -What?
This is like the third time you've done it.
[Colt exhales]
Good morning.
♪ No, I'm not delusional ♪
♪ I'm just unusual ♪
♪ So my God you're so obsessed with me ♪
I just woke up and my dad's already mad at me for messing
with the thermostat.
-Keeps it a bit too high. -[Cortney laughs]
I'm Colt, I'm 39 years old, and I live in Orlando, Florida,
with my girlfriend, Cortney, and her parents.
I know it's one of his number-one rules.
[Cortney laughs]
Thou shall not change the thermostat.
Yeah, and put your dirty underwear in the laundry.
I didn't put it in the laundry. I put it in the basket.
Cortney and I met two months ago at a singles retreat
in Mexico.
I was there because, unfortunately, I have not been
lucky in love.
Larissa was my first wife, a fiery Brazilian.
[Larissa speaking
[Colt] But unfortunately, things got toxic really fast.
I met Jess after my divorce from Larissa.
What? -- Oh!
-What the [bleep]? -You lied!
[Colt] What are you talking about?
I cheated on Jess with a woman named Vanessa,
who would later become my second wife.
But after being married for three years,
she told me that she didn't wanna be with me anymore
and she wasn't in love with me. And it broke my [bleep] heart.
I always go into relationships with the best of intentions.
I want things to work out. But somehow or another,
I mess things up.
I hope things can be different with Cortney.
-Morning, family. -[Fred] Good morning.
[Colt] Sorry about the laundry, guys.
I really appreciate everything, than you guys have been doing.
How is your leg?
You know, I still feel a lot of pain most days.
[Cortney] But I think everything happens for a reason.
Like, we're together because of it.
-[Tiffany]Oh, my God. -Are you OK, bro?
While I was at the singles retreat in Mexico,
I was leaving Cortney's room, and I slipped and fell,
and I broke my leg.
I have five fractures in my knee.
[Cortney] Colt was in the hospital for about three weeks.
I was there with him almost 24/7,
so that's when we really started bonding.
[Colt speaking]
Aw.
[Colt] Things got romantic.
So when I was discharged, she invited me to live
with her in Florida.
She knew I didn't have anywhere to go.
I had a long road to recovery, and she wanted to help me
as much as possible.
-I'm glad you're here. -I'm glad I'm here too.
I know you're in a lot of pain,
but why don't you guys come golf with us?
You can ride in the golf cart, get some fresh air.
-Do you wanna go? -Yeah, that'd be great.
OK, if you're gonna go, let's go.
[Cortney] Let's go get ready. I'll help you.
OK.
[fun piano playing]
[Cortney speaking]
I guess.
Oh, look at that.
[Cortney] I brought him to Florida to help him go through
physical therapy, take care of him,
and I really hoped he'd be
further along in his recovery by now, but basically,
I'm his full time nurse.
Do you want more of the green or the tan?
-[Colt] I'll take the tan. -OK.
He could barely even wipe his ass by himself.
-They're tight. -They're tight.
I feel something should probably be left unseen,
especially so early on in a relationship.
Ah! Push.
Oh my God, you're gonna knock me over.
[fun music playing]
-Off-road driving. -[laughs]
Here.
OK.
-Straight ahead, I believe. -[Colt] You got this.
I have confidence in you.
[Jane] Your turn, Cortney.
Good luck.
[Cortney] Oh, [bleep].
-You got this. -[Fred] You went up too steep.
-[Jane] There you go. -[Colt] Yay, Cortney.
-[bleep] -[Fred] I see it.
[Jane] There it is. There it is.
Ooh, nice one.
They're so cute.
Oh, my God.
Like, ew, why are you thinking that?
Yeah.
We haven't had sex, full on sex yet.
Right now, the plumbing doesn't work so well.
Oh, my God.
We'll get there.
But it's very majestic when it's fully,
you know, realized. -[whispers] Oh, my God.
[Cortney] It makes me feel, like, insecure.
-Like, am I your type? -You're definitely my type.
I mean, you know, we've had some success,
but it's just when we transition into penetration,
then I kinda...
[blows through mouth] go down. -But why?
I don't know. It hurts.
I'm moving my body around. There's a lot of expectation.
I'm still on medicine.
Colt is, like, known for being, like, a horny bunny.
Like, he wants to do it hourly. He wants it all the time.
So the fact he can't get it up for me,
it's making me wonder,
like, is Colt here because he's into me,
or is he here out of convenience?
Because he basically has everything provided for him.
He's not paying rents. He's not paying bills.
He has it pretty good.
We're in this weird situation, 'cause I feel
like I've known you forever. We get along.
We don't argue.
But then it's like, OK, I don't really know you.
I've only known you like a month or two.
Yeah.
Let's be honest, like, your exes are constantly
online, like, "Oh, you're a liar,
you're a cheater."
Like, they're not saying anything good about you.
Why were they with me then?
[Cortney] I mean, I'm sure they liked you in the beginning
until you cheated on them.
I mean, sure, I have a past, but it doesn't mean
I'm always gonna do that.
It doesn't mean I can't be a good guy for you.
Trust is everything in a relationship,
but I do struggle to trust men in general because a lot of them
do lie and cheat.
I want to believe that Colt has changed.
Maybe he's matured. Maybe he's grown up.
Look, I know that we have a lot to figure out,
but I wanna do it with you.
I wanna figure out all these problems
with you every day as we grow old together.
Aw.
I mean, I've always wanted to get married, have kids,
have a family.
Like, I feel me and Colt are aligned.
We have a lot of the same goals.
So I'm hoping it works. It has to work.
We'll get there.
I didn't like the way it ended for us.
I understand that you didn't create the havoc,
but there's a lot I felt I didn't know.
I haven't seen Gino in almost a year.
I wanna believe that he truly made a mistake,
but I don't know if I can trust Gino.
I don't know if I can trust anything he says.

-How are you? -Doing good.
Long time no see. How are you?
-[Gino] How are you? -I'm good.
I'm good. You look thinner.
-[kisses smack] -You look thinner.
After all the drama that happened, I did not expect
Natalie to give me a second chance.
I'm on your home turf this time.
I know. This time you're in D.C.
I am absolutely super excited to have this opportunity
to reconnect with her and make things right.
-Oh my gosh, it's so cool here. -Yeah.
You have some beautiful trees and hills and parks.
Um...
You seem a little nervous. Are you OK?
Well, I am nervous.
I do have a little nerves coming here, because last time
we were together, you know, it didn't end very well.
No, it didn't.
You stormed out of the hotel and you were upset with me.
Well, yeah. I mean, that was a disaster.
So I haven't seen Gino in almost a year in person.
And I really don't know how I feel about it right now,
because Gino has a lot of explaining to do.
When I met Gino,
one of my first questions that I asked
him is, "Are you single?"
He said he was separated, about to get a divorce.
But then he invited me to come to Michigan
and meet his family.
And I was kind of surprised by some of his cousin
Michelle's comments.
[Michelle] What's the deal with you and Jasmine?
I mean, you guys just actually went out
and had dinner.
Was there hope for progress when you went?
I mean, slight, slight.
You know, he basically lied to me.
So I just wanted to get out of there.
And before I could, Jasmine walked in the door
and attacked me.
-Don't touch me. -Don't you [bleep].
-Relax, relax. -No, no.
Don't you [bleep] -- Listen.
Get off me.
[Gino] I totally understand why you're upset after all that
chaos at the party.
I understand that you didn't create the havoc,
but you kind of did create the havoc because I...
There's a lot I felt I didn't know.
I shouldn't have been there in the first place.
You know, that's how I felt.
OK, that makes a little more sense because I didn't like
the way it ended for us. -Neither did I.
And I'm a little bit more recovered, I guess.
-Well, that's good. -Now I am.
Now I am. It's taken some time.
-It doesn't happen right away. -I know that.
Back then, I wasn't fully recovered...
No, and I could tell. But anyway, it's all over.
It's all over. It's done with.
Like, you're here now. Like, what do you want?
[both laugh]
Well, obviously, I want to, like, just hang out like we did
in Vegas. We had fun together,
and it was, you know, a good vibe, you know?
I mean, I like that idea, you know?
I like putting the past in the past and, you know,
starting new. -Yeah.

You know, as much as I like Gino,
I'm approaching this weekend with a lot of caution.
I'm not gonna deny that he's hurt me, but, you know,
I understand what it's like to go through a destructive
marriage and things happen.
I wanna believe that he truly made a mistake.
The weather's pretty [bleep], but we can go back to my place.
Ooh, you're inviting me to your place.
Oh, my gosh. I'm just kidding.
[Natalie] But I don't know if I can trust Gino.
I don't know if I can trust anything he says.
Let's go. Let's do it.
[Natalie] I got an umbrella too.
If Gino wants something romantic with me,
more than friends,
he's gotta prove that he's gonna be honest.
He's gotta prove that he really wants this.
So, we'll see if he can.

Last night with Pedro and his friends was just
very awkward for me.
Pedro was just coming on a lot stronger than he has
in the past.
It's not even that I don't appreciate the effort
that he's making. It's not that.
It's more so, I can just feel he's...
putting too much pressure on it.

Good. How are you?
[Sophie] I'm good.
I do like Pedro.
Like, I want to get to know him.
I wanna go on dates and see where things go.
-Thank you. -[Pedro] You're welcome.
[Sophie] But I just finished with my marriage,
and I'm healing from it.
-You feel good? -Yeah.
And let us get to know each other naturally, and...

I feel good. I'm kinda tired.
Thank you.

It was really awkward.
Wait, what did she exactly say?
[Sophie] I invited Liz to the Dominican Republic.
I thought we was friends, and then to go behind my back,
she knows it's [bleep] up. She just met Pedro.
That's not even her friend. That's breaking girl code.
Like, you don't do that. I'm really pissed.
I was in a relationship from when I was 20 years old,
pretty much my whole adult life.
I wanna figure out what I want.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah.
I don't want you to, like, wait around
for when I'm ready.
I just want us to, like, get to know each other, like --
If someone comes along and she's, like, ready right
now to settle down and have kids and everything you want,
I'm not gonna say to you, "No, be loyal to me
when I'm not ready." That's extremely selfish.
I am single, so I'm allowed to do whatever.
[tense music playing]
[Pedro speaking]
I've been clear to you.
Yes, I did.
I have never once told you I have healed and I'm ready
for a relationship. I have never told you that.
-Sophie. -No, never told you that.
Never told you that.
I'm really not understanding why he's acting like this is,
like, brand new information.
I know I've said this because I've made a point,
because it's so important to me.
And I've told him that.
So for him to then say, "Oh, you've never told me that,"
it's like, it's frustrating.
Don't act like I've said something I haven't said.
You are lying to me right now. Yes, you are.
And even last night, I wasn't acting like "That's my man."
I wasn't being all over him and touching him.
I'm literally making sure I'm not giving him mixed signals
at all.
I don't like when people say I'm a liar.

He's having issues right now. He's not able to get, like, up.

Like, he's not able to get, like, up.
-He's not able to get what? -Uh, like...
-His thing doesn't work? -Yeah.
[Lexy] Oh.
Oh, [bleep].
We'll cuddle or kiss, or, like, he's done stuff
to me, but I haven't done stuff to him.
Like, I don't know what you want me to do.
That's never fun.
It's like blowing up a balloon.
It's like [gasps].
It's getting there, getting there,
and then it's like [imitates balloon deflating].

[phone rings]
-How you doing, Mark? -What's going on, dude?
Been a while, man. Well, a lot has happened.
I broke my leg in Mexico.
Dude, we gotta get you, like, a bubble wrap
outfit or something. -[Colt laughs]
[Colt] Mark has been a really good friend for the past few years.
He's been there with me through several relationships,
and he's definitely aware of my dating mishaps,
and he's not afraid to call out my bull [bleep].
And right now, I really need an honest perspective.
So when I was at the retreat, I met somebody.
-All right, let's hear it. -[Colt] Her name's Cortney.
We connected on a lot of different levels,
and we kind of got this, like, relationship going
while we were there.
And then she asked me if I wanted to come back
with her and live with her in Florida.
Wait, stop it. You're in her house right now?
-I'm in her house right now. -You guys live together?
We live together. Been here for over a month now.
Holy crap! Congratulations, dude!
-Wow! -[Colt] Yeah.
But Cortney lives with her parents,
so I live with Cortney and her mom and dad.
Here we go.
All right, how's that going?
-What's that look like? -[Colt] Uh.
It's been pretty good. They're very patient.
They're very sweet people. But the energy is weird.
Cortney is very shy, and our intimacy isn't exactly
where I want it to be.
My past relationships have been very spicy.
I've dated a few Brazilian women,
and they liked to [bleep].
Uh.
On the other hand, Cortney's like watching
"Little House on the Prairie."
It's quality, but after a while,
it gets a little boring.
I don't know. You have a girl that just gets
so energetic they just [bleep] on your [bleep]
and [bleep] that like her life depends upon it.
That type of energy, you know?
And then you go to somebody that's just like,
"Yeah, do whatever you want." You know what I mean?
It's just not the same. It's hard to go back to that.
[laughing] Oh...OK.
I don't know if he's not attracted to me
or if it's just, like, he's not getting enough blood flow
'cause of his broken leg.
So I'm trying to be supportive.
I'm trying to be his rock, I feel like, but then, yeah,
I do have, like, doubts or fears.
Like, what's he doing behind my back?
[Sandy] What do you mean?
[Cortney] I was helping him upload
something on social media,
and then it shows me all the women
he's been messaging, and I'm like...
-[Lexy] All? -I didn't even dig deep.
I just went to, like, a few messages down,
and he told a girl, "Hey, gorgeous."
I'm doing all this stuff for you,
and then you're,
like, messaging other women. Like, are you kidding me?
I know you want, like, to get married and stuff like that,
but something's fishy about this.
[Lexy] He definitely doesn't sound like Mr. Right.
He's talking to other girls behind her back,
and I've had that happen in relationships,
and it never works out.
-He can't even get it up. -He can't provide anything.
-Way too many red flags. -He is the red flag.
[Marie] He needs to realize that he's actually lucky to have you,
'cause he is.
Are you able to talk to her about, like,
deep stuff and the future... -[Colt] Yeah.
-...and relationships? -Yeah.
But she knows my reputation, and she thinks, like, I'm just
gonna leave or cheat or whatever one day.
So Cortney's worried that she'll be, like,
another victim, basically.
Are you still living that way, dude?
Be honest with me.
[Colt] So, um...
Well, there is a girl that I was talking to before I even
went to the resort. -Where does she live?
[Colt] She's in Brazil.
-Oh. -[Colt] Yeah.
-Here we go again. -Yeah.
Diana and I met a year ago online.
Originally, I had plans to meet Diana in Brazil
after the singles retreat ended.
But meeting Cortney and my injury ultimately
changed those plans.
I still talk to Diana.
It's been hard to let her go.
Me and Cortney, right now, I'm taking it one day
at a time, but I don't wanna hurt her.
I care about her.
There's definitely feelings there, but I don't --
I really don't know what to do.
I mean, this does sound a lot like things you've been through
in the past, right? -Yeah.
And there's a situation where you could hurt her,
and I know you don't wanna do that.
You wanna get out of these cycles.
Every relationship I've been in
has ended because I've cheated or lied
or a combination of both.
I love Cortney.
I never wanted to keep secrets from her.
But if I tell her about Diana,
she's never gonna trust me again.
This might be an opportunity for you to sort of take
that next step in your personal growth
and have some hard conversations.
-[Colt] Yeah. -You know, do the right thing.
-I don't know, man.
-[Gino] -Next time on "The Single Life."
I am Vanja.
I have been single for about a year.
His name is Tony.
-Is that your friend, Tony? -Yeah.
-I kissed him. -Oh, my God, girl!
We haven't made it clear if we're exclusive,
if we're dating.
You need to have a conversation with him.
If I have this conversation, there is no going back.
Our friendship will be changed forever.
We definitely did not mesh well at the end.
He flipped so quick.
And he's ignored me since the day.
At this point, I am starting to panic a bit,
because what if Pedro just never texts me back?
You know, I'm happy that you came here,
but I just keep seeing
that you have this online battle still
with Jasmine back and forth.
To me, it's a red flag because there's a thin line
between love and hate.
Does he have these unresolved feelings for Jasmine?
-[Colt speaking] -Yeah.
[Cortney laughs] Oh, yes.
Sexy. [laughs]
I really want this relationship to work with Colt,
but we have major issues.
His leg is broken, trust issues,
His erectile dysfunction. We're not able to have sex.
So now you're fully committed to Cortney at this point?
Hundred percent.
I'm sorry, I feel like you're using her.
-Using her? -[Sandy] Yes.
Do you have, like, a gut feeling?
'Cause, like, that's usually what we go by.
