Ric explains why people hide the “bad parts” of themselves early in a relationship, how he flirts by just being honest, and then drops a bomb: he keeps finding himself with married women—and kinda likes it that way. From there, the two dive into open relationships, toxic attraction, rejection, and the messy truths that come with dating today. It’s fun, flirty, and unfiltered—the perfect mix for a first date. 👉 Follow Ric here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sadmanric/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/sadmanric First Date Ep. 115 https://www.tiktok.com/@iamlaurencompton https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:55 - Lauren and Ric's Past 00:02:20 - Appetizer Questions 00:05:49 - Hiding The Bad 00:08:11 - Big Mouth Guy 00:11:06 - Ric's Honest Moves 00:14:07 - Lauren's Go-to Pickup Line 00:17:24 - Bad Date 00:21:19 - Starting Stand-Up 00:22:34 - Married-Women Hunter 00:27:13 - Open Relationships 00:33:07 - Lauren Dealing With Love 00:36:22 - Polite Rejection 00:39:56 - Do What She Says 00:42:16 - What Is Romance? 00:45:39 - Toxic Attraction
