Ryan is a 43-year-old single dad living in a small coastal town in Mississippi, navigating dating with a uniquely small dating pool — and a clear idea of what he wants. After two divorces, gaining full custody of his kids, and years focused on raising them, he’s now approaching life as an empty nester and ready to find a partner.

In this Unfiltered episode, Ryan shares what it’s like dating long-distance, hiring a matchmaker, why he’s intentional about keeping doors open, and the moment he ended a relationship after his partner crossed a boundary with his kids. He opens up about resilience, starting over, and balancing hope with acceptance when dating later in life.
