In episode 3 of The Later Daters, Nate, one of the participants, opened up about his outlook on dating during a conversation with his ex-girlfriend, Jackie. Reflecting on his recent date with Anise, Nate told Jackie:
"I can say that there’s sometimes that I do get lonely. And I wish that I had somebody around, but I am very picky."
He explained his concerns about maintaining personal comfort, noting that sharing a living space with someone, regardless of love, could lead to irritations over seemingly minor issues. From leaving the toilet seat up to forgetting the toothpaste cap, Nate shared how these details played a significant role in his decision-making process.

Nate reflected on his choices in The Later Daters
In episode 3 of The Later Daters, Nate’s date with Anise gave him a chance to think about what he wanted in a partner. While describing her as “a very attractive older woman,” Nate told Jackie that Anise was “a little bit outside" of his "desired age bracket.”
He clarified that it wasn’t about being discriminatory but acknowledged that his personal preferences influenced how he viewed his romantic connections. In a later conversation with Jackie, Nate spoke about the challenges of pursuing a relationship at this stage in life.
He appreciated Anise’s kindness and beauty but found it difficult to think about a long-term connection.
"I don’t want my life to be less comfortable than it is now," he said, sharing his practical concerns about the compromises relationships often bring.
Nate explained how even small habits, like leaving the toothpaste cap off or the toilet seat up, could disrupt his sense of comfort. He continued saying, "So let's get us something together so that we both can be comfortable."
Anise opinion on the date with Nate in The Later Daters
Anise talked about her date with her daughter, Dwayna, expressing her appreciation for Nate’s respectful behavior. She described him as a “gentleman” and valued his polite demeanor during their time together.
However, Anise pointed out some differences between them, such as Nate’s lack of enthusiasm for active hobbies like hiking, which was something she enjoyed. Despite these differences, Anise reflected positively on the date, noting that it ended on a good note. She recounted how Nate walked her home and asked for her number before parting ways.
While Nate later shared that he didn’t feel a romantic connection, Anise seemed more hopeful about the possibility of building a friendship or something more. Dwayna encouraged her mother to take a step forward, teasing her about being hesitant.
"This is you showing your boomerness in all of this," she joked, asking Anise to send Nate a message.
The connection between Nate and Anise didn’t progress, and they mutually decided to explore other opportunities. Later in episode 4 of The Later Daters, Anise went on a date with Bill, while Nate embarked on a new date with Lisa.
