EXCLUSIVE: New OWN Reality Show 'Ready to Love' Explores The Dating Game From The Black Man's Perspective

“For me, love isn’t what I can give you, it’s what I’ll sacrifice for you.” Dating is hard out here, and new OWN series Ready to Love, from Will Packer Media and Lighthearted Entertainment, aims to show the realities of finding Black love and give the brothers a chance to tell their side of the story too. The upcoming reality show explores real-life dating interactions between single men and women looking for love in Atlanta, highlighting the men’s observations and experiences. Host Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles of The Steve Harvey Morning Show joins in on the adventure as a few sexy, successful 30 and 40-something singles navigate love’s gritty streets and takes viewers inside the minds of men to find out what they really think when women aren’t around and why they feel certain attempts at love fail. Hmm…we’re definitely intrigued. The trailer features lots of laughs, tears, and fears, with a side of sexual tension, but perhaps what’s most enlightening is watching the brothers have to be accountable for their feelings along the way. The trailer promises that three couples (hopefully soulmates) will make it to the end and find their forever. Will you be tuning in? Ready to Love premieres on OWN Tuesday, October 23 at 10 p.m.
