On episode 10 of Ready To Love the ladies are asked to introduce their exes to their top connections. While some of them are skeptical, others think this uncomfortable encounter may be a perfect way to help them find the loves of their lives. The women are in control this week so some of the men bring their A-game, but will it be enough to stay in the game?
Mya
Mya introduces her ex Wes to Justin and William. Wes tells the brothers that his ex, the tech professional, makes her own money but she’s going to need a man to match her high maintenance lifestyle. Justin is concerned his teacher’s salary may not meet Mya’s needs. But William doesn’t break a sweat— Homie said he is confident and has the bankroll to maintain Mya’s soft life.
Mieka
Mieka only has two exes—her children’s father and a recent relationship that ended on a sour note. Baby daddy said that if it’s not about his children, he doesn’t want to be involved and that’s fair. Mieka was unwilling to break her “no-contact” status with her other former boyfriend. Kudos to her for keeping herself emotionally safe. Tommy stands in to help our good sis out on her date with LaRon and Justin.
Tommy asks the men how they conduct themselves after having a disagreement with their partner. LaRon said he would send a text to “check the temperature.” Justin said he would initiate a conversation so they could get to the root of the problem and try to resolve it. When Mieka was asked why her last relationship ended, she mentioned her ex’s excessive video game playing. LaRon says that not only does he create video games, but he spends hours playing them. He went on to say that if a new game comes out, he will sometimes call out sick from work, so he can dedicate his day to gaming. This was a blaring red flag for Mieka that Laron ain’t really ready to love.
Vanessa
Vanessa’s ex, Thomas, meets Domonique and Chaz. Domonique admits he’s always had a hard time being friends with a woman after intimacy, so he is taken aback with Vanessa’s friendship with Thomas. The former couple explain that they realized early on that they would be better as platonic friends. Thomas asked the two men why they are seeking a partner. Chaz said he’s accomplished his other goals and the only thing that’s missing is a life partner. Chaz is ready to love. It seems Thomas was impressed with this answer because he advised Vanessa to choose Chaz.
Patrice
Patrice brings William and Alonzo to meet Dro. After singing Patrice’s praises, Dro asked the men how they feel about him maintaining a friendship with her? Both Alonzo and William say they aren’t jealous types, so they have no issue with Patrice and Dro’s ex-bestie dynamic. He goes on to ask them what they don’t like about Patrice. The father-of-three said that he didn’t like that Patrice visited tanning booths to give herself a year-round summer glow. He said Patrice didn’t seem to like her natural complexion. William explained that as an adoptee, he once struggled with accepting his looks because he didn’t resemble his family members. Patrice’s perceived discomfort with her own looks was disheartening for him. That conversation seemed to help Patrice and William get a better understanding of each other’s perspectives. Dro took a liking to both men but he thought William’s “grown man energy” would be a better fit for Patrice.
Realizing that he has some stiff competition, Alonzo decides to step his game up. He takes Patrice on a date to a museum that he has rented out for the two of them. After checking out the displays, the two sit down to a candlelit dinner. Patrice is impressed, she later says this was the best date she has ever had in her life. It looks like Alonzo may have reclaimed his spot at the top of her ready-to-love list.
A Meeting In The Ladies’ Room
In the Ladies’ Lounge, the women agree that Domonique hasn’t put much effort in getting to know any of them. Some of them say that Alonzo’s playful energy makes it difficult for them to take him seriously. Domonique is surprised and disappointed when they ultimately choose to send him home.
Next week, the singles are going on a weekend getaway where they will all be staying under one roof. This should be interesting. Ready To Love airs Fridays at 8pm on the OWN network.
