This week on Million Dollar Matchmaker, love lost. While both millionaires may have checked out alone, Patti and her team still taught us all some valuable love lessons. If WE can’t be millionaires, WE sure can learn how not to date like them!

Patti had her hands full with David, an ageist attorney who can only get the blood flowing from ladies packing a serious “donkey,” and he doesn’t mean the mammal. Here’s David’s take on his (back)side of the story.

Patti’s perception of my life and relationship issues were on point and evident to me. The first day, she called me an “ageist” – I can’t dispute that. She was able to surmise what was wrong with my last relationship, despite giving her very few details about it. Patti likes to break somebody down in order to reach their core. My defensive nature kicked in – I resisted – and we had an all-time classic war.

The mingle was a s*** show – the girls were mangles. But, I was attracted to Nicole. On our date, we had fun with the dogs, but I was wondering the whole time during my date if there was anything there. I was trying to build rapport and see if we had anything in common. We decided to get together again and play tour guide in our home cities.

I learned that when dealing with Patti, that I had to take a step back and really internalize what she was telling me. So, when Patti told me to date girls a decade older than the girls I’m used to (and attracted to), I realized that life is all about compromise. I’m willing to be more open minded – but still not change as much as she would like me to. I am what I am.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to go twelve rounds with Mike Tyson; my experience with Patti would make the aforementioned look like a glorified sparring session. She comes with wisdom, but with non-stop haymakers that land everywhere, below the belt and dirtier than ear bites. I came here with an open mind, ready to put my life on blast, and I think I’m stronger for it!

WE wonder if Nicole will agree to visit David in NYC in the future!

After an out-of-the-box Escape date, Rhonda admitted to having fun, but not knowing what her date’s professional profile boasts, she couldn’t commit to checking out with Terrance, even if it was a perfect match! Here, Rhonda spills the tea on her experience with Patti.

I’ve learned a lot about relationships, about dating and about letting my hair down and having a good time. Instead of being analytical, I’ve learned to get out of my head and follow my heart. It’s about going with the flow and stepping out of my comfort zone.

The mingle was a lot of fun. Terrence stood out immediately because he’s really tall, very good looking and has an amazing smile. He looked a little like Idris Elba. I chose Terrence because of all the guys I met at the mingle, he made me laugh and had the most engaging personality. He was also the most assertive. Terrence arranged for us to have our date at an escape room. I’ve never been before, so it was a totally new experience for me. I’m accustomed to dates at five star restaurants. We got along well, we laughed, we talked and we had to work together as a team in order to solve the puzzles. It wasn’t really romantic and it really seemed more like Terrence was just a friend – that was sort of the vibe of the date until we had dinner. Over dinner, I had a chance to really talk to him, and I got to know him better.

I did learn things about myself through this experience. I learned that if I just go with the flow, follow my heart and have fun, dates are far more interesting! I also learned that I can do really casual things and still have an amazing time!

I definitely think Patti helped me on my journey to finding true love. The skills that I learned while at Patti’s resort will allow me to be far more successful in the dating world after 20 years off the dating market.
