but that was brief.
- Yeah. You okay, though?
- Am I okay?
- Yeah. I mean, is everything good?
- Yeah. Um,
I think, obviously,
I didn't like how our last
conversation ended with us.
I don't wanna be just
another friend of yours.
- That's all I got room for right now.
- Yeah.
It's really bothered me.
Which, as much as I hate
to admit, means that I care.
And then, just to kinda,
like, not know what you want,
like, [scoffs] and, like--
- You didn't know what you want
or I didn't know what I want?
- You.
- I've known what I wanted.
- Yeah, but--
- I mean, I think I've always been
pretty solid with where I'm at.

Not the best at it, but--

I'm so sorry.

- She almost wants me to, like,
run it by her whenever we hang out,
and I don't think she really wants us
hangin' out one-on-one as much.
Like, I even--
- She's not your mom.
- I know,
but I even had to like, lie
about today, like, where I was goin'
because I knew that she would
make such a big deal about me and you.
She thinks that it's more
than just us being friends.

I'm tired of dealin' with it, honestly.
NICK:
So, what do I need to do?

All I know is that I wanna be out of it.

have feelings for each other.

- Well, do y'all?
- [sarcastically] Yeah, we do. [laughs]
[muffled laugh]
If you couldn't tell. Yeah. No.
No.

OLIVIA:
What are your plans for the day?

- Same. We're just gonna
kinda play it by ear.

about wantin' more kids?

Do you want kids?

But I don't think that's
gonna happen for me, personally.
I mean, I don't wanna, like,
stand in your way of that at all,
but I get it.

starts to really set in.

Now, when you decide
to start dating again
- Lipstick on, cheeks all
rouged up, eyes made up.
NARRATOR: you, obviously, shouldn't
have to worry about defining moments.
- Hot-diggity-dog, girl,
you are strikin' gold.
NARRATOR: The only thing
you should really be focused on
is defining what you want.
Take Claiborne, for example.
- I would like to find somebody,
somebody that can make me laugh.
- Yeah?
NARRATOR: Versus defining
should you really be out dating again
since you clearly have no clue what
you're looking for or what you're doing,
like say, LaShoundra.
BARTENDER:
You're very gorgeous.
- Uh, thank you.
- Would you like some wine?
LASHOUNDRA: Sure.
[smacking lips]
Ew!
- Wow.
[bar patrons chattering]
CLAIBORNE:
I hope you like brownies.
HAMID:
I do.
CLAIBORNE:
'Cause that's what you're gettin'.
- That looks very delicious.
- It's gonna be,
and no calories 'til you swallow.
[both chuckle]
Online dating is hard,
but when I came across Hamid's profile,
there was a certain something
that was different about him.
I don't know about you,
but I kinda checked you out.
- Oh, you did?
- Well, I mean, there are a lotta,
what they call, "catfish"
on, on this internet thing,
and you weren't a catfish.
- Catfish?
- Catfish is when you text somebody,
and then textin' back and forth,
and they're not who they say they are,
and you go to meet 'em, and they
aren't what they said they were.
That's catfishing.
- Alright.
LASHOUNDRA:
I met Ken at a cigar lounge,
and we just hit it off.
Hi, Ken. [laughs]
- How ya doin', girl?
What took you so long?
- Ah, traffic. Traffic.
- Traffic.
- Well, you must've
been out here for a while.
- I have.
- Okay.
- Thirty minutes to be exact.
- [laughs]
You bein' funny?
KEN:
Yeah. No. You are late.
- 'Cause I didn't
really know who you were.
I knew who I thought you were,
and you were who I thought you were,
and I hope that I was
who you thought I was.
- You were.
You were everything that--
- And of course, you checked
out my Facebook page, I would hope.
- Well--
- Really?
Suppose I'd turned out to be
a six-foot tall, 300-pound man,
you'd have been
in the deep doo-doo, wouldn't ya?
- Trouble. I would have been.
- It turned out that I was just
a woman with a very deep voice, so.
LASHOUNDRA: Where I supposed to go?
KEN: Over there.
- Alright, you got this, bro.
[Ken laughs]
You got this.
Swing batter, batter swing!
- Shh! You don't supposed
to talk when I'm hittin'.
- Oh.
- You gotta be quiet.
- You see? There's way too many rules.
- I'm concentratin'.
- We goin' to football next time
where I can scream.
You better hit that ball, boy!
[laughs]
NARRATOR:
And sometimes there are moments
when you realize that most men
LASHOUNDRA:
Where we goin'?
NARRATOR: aren't gonna get you
the way your ex got you.
CLAIBORNE:
Little did you know that my friends,
they parked outside and waited
for you to come out the door.
They waited for me
to give 'em the "Hi" sign
when you weren't lookin'.
- I feel like criminal.
[both laugh]
- Yeah, we really did all that.
- So, I'm not a part-time
boyfriend, huh? [laughs]
- Depends on how you
behave from here on out.
But no, you're not a part-time boyfriend.
Am I a part-time girlfriend?
- Um, not really.
- I didn't think I was.

not allowed to hang out with me
without Baylee there.
- Baylee.
Baylee, is that that one you
were talkin' about that was, like--

you can be cordial around her.
- I-- That's what I'm thinkin'. I don't--
Like, I wish I could just, like--
we could just be cool, but, like,
right when she came in,
that's when problems started, so.
- Are you and Nick still friends?
- I don't know.
I guess we'll see.
- Huh. I guess, guess we will see.
- I guess we will see.
- Tell ya what,

Like, you just walk out the back door

that I know of, that I know of.
Um, I haven't done anything,
personally, for her to feel that way,
so that's why I'm kinda
getting, like, a little bit irritated.
- Maybe it's more of how Nick looks at you
rather than how you look at him.

NARRATOR:
Oftentimes, when it comes to love,
we think it's the big,
monumental moments
that define a relationship.
The "I love yous,"
the weddings, the devastating breakups,
but maybe the micro-moments
have the most impact.

Kirk, you're on this side.
And I'll just be pretty much
the referee. Tell y'all who wins.
Alright, so you're gonna drink your cup.
The first people who are goin' first,
you're gonna drink the, drink the cup,
put it at the edge of the table
just like this, a little bit showin',
you're gonna flip it over,
and hopefully, you can get it
on that side just like that.
Perfect, right?
NICK: Okay.
- And who should start? Y'all two?
- Kirk!
NICK: Let them.
DEVIN: Alright, let's do it.
- Let's go, let's go!
DEVIN: Alright, I don't have a whistle,
but I have a mouth that'll say "go."
You ready?
[Baylee laughs]
Set, go.
[cups thud]
BAYLEE:
Mm.
DEVIN: There we go, there we go.
[cup clatters]
- Come on. Come on, Kirk.
NICK: Come on, MJ.
- Go, go, go, go, go.
DEVIN: Come on, there it is.
[group cheering, yelling over each other]
It's okay.
[cup clatters]
- No! Come on, come on, come on.
[cups clatter]
You got it. Just a little bit.
MYA JO: Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, Nick, come on, Nick.
Come on, you almost got it,
you almost got it.
DEVIN: You got it, come on.
- Just a little tap.
[Mya Jo laughs]
BAYLEE/KIRK:
Oh!
[Mya Jo and Nick cheer]
NICK: There it is. Woo!
- Woo!
NARRATOR:
Oftentimes, when it comes to love,
we think it's the big,
monumental moments
that define a relationship.
The "I love yous,"
the weddings, the devastating breakups,
but maybe the micro-moments
have the most impact.
The way we look at someone,
the way someone looks at us.
What we choose to say,
what someone doesn't say back.
When we decide to go further,
when we pull back.
[both laughing]
Maybe these are the moments
we should pay closer attention to.
[group cheering]
DEVIN: Come on.
- Whatever.
[Mya Jo chuckles]
DEVIN: You win some, you lose some.
KIRK: Come on. It was a good game.
NICK: Y'all played nice.
- I'm out.
I know what you're doin'.
It's cool.
DEVIN: Where'd she go?
[Baylee inhales sharply]
NARRATOR:
Because in the end,
they might just be the ones
that make or break us.
NICK:
Did I do somethin'?
MYA JO: Sorry.
- I should probably go say--
DEVIN: Yeah.
- Alright.
MYA JO: Yeah, you probably should.
- I'm gonna go handle that.
- So, I was really surprised
to get your text about Hamid,
and y'all breakin' up.
- When somebody texts you and says,
"I just can't do this
relationship anymore."
And, "Please do not respond."
And unfriends you on Facebook--
- He said, "Please do not respond"?
[gasps]
CLAIBORNE: And unfriends you.
- That warrants the unicorn salute.
LORI: Oh, my God. That's as bad as
the Dear John letter.
- This is not high school anymore.
NARRATOR: Well, I guess
the next chapter is gonna have
to be about breakups.
