"It just threw me off" - The Later Daters star Lori talks to Logan about Ty

The Later Daters, Netflix's new dating reality series, explores the romantic journeys of individuals over 50 as they navigate modern dating. New episodes released on November 29, 2024. The show combines the participants' authentic experiences with expert guidance from dating coach Logan Ury.

In a recent episode of The Later Daters, Lori, one of the show's stars, opened up to Logan about her date with Ty. During their discussion, Lori revealed mixed feelings about the date, stating, "I didn’t know if I was feeling it, but I was open." Ty had reached out after their date to check if she got home safely, but things fizzled out soon after.

Reflecting on what didn’t click for her, Lori mentioned a small detail about Ty’s attire: a white T-shirt.

She explained, "Something with the white T-shirt brought me back to my dad and my uncles. It just threw me off."

Logan responded by offering two perspectives: either accepting someone’s current style or helping them refine it. Lori, however, shared that she wasn’t ready to invest in "building a man" and wanted someone to show up authentically.

Lori opens up to Logan in episode 5 of The Later Daters

After her date with Ty, Lori met with dating coach Logan Ury to reflect on her experience in The Later Daters. When asked about the date, Lori described it as pleasant but expressed uncertainty about her feelings. While Ty’s post-date text to ensure she reached home safely left a good impression, their connection didn’t progress further.

Lori explained that a specific aspect of Ty’s attire, a white T-shirt, reminded her of her father and uncles, which disrupted her initial impression of him. Logan pointed out that she could either accept someone’s current style or help refine it, but Lori was clear in her stance.

"There’s things that I want, and I’m not into building a man," she shared.

Reflecting on past experiences, Lori stated she wasn’t ready to invest energy into changing someone, adding that she preferred a partner who could authentically present themselves. Logan asked whether Lori was being overly critical, but Lori confidently affirmed that she didn’t feel a strong connection with Ty.

Lori’s date with Ty in episode 4 of The Later Daters

During her date with Ty, Lori engaged in a conversation with the 59-year-old Atlanta resident to explore a possible connection. Lori mentioned that she felt a sense of familiarity with Ty, leading her to ask about his dating experiences in Atlanta.

Ty explained that he had mostly focused on his business since relocating to the city but assured her,

"I’m the type of person that’s always gonna find time for somebody I’m interested in."

During the date, Ty kept looking at the other side. Lori pointed this out and said she felt he was not fully engaged in the conversation. He acknowledged her response. The two connected over their shared value of having meaningful and intellectual conversations.

Ty expressed his interest, stating that he found Lori "pretty cool," and Lori responded positively to his openness. He stated in a confessional,

"Did you see how she was kind of picking my behavior apart? I like it. That was stimulating me. I'm going. Ah..!"

Despite the date being promising and sharing common values, Lori later reflected on the interaction with Logan. She concluded that while the date had positive elements, the connection she sought did not fully develop.
