This week's lessons on #BlackLove are all about planting the seeds of being open and vulnerable for a successful relationship. As always, our girls brought all the emos to the table and we start out with Jae.
Jae
But it goes even deeper than that. Jae reveals her mom was the first person to walk away from her when she was young. The feeling of abandonment is at the core of her unwillingness to commit.
Laree
Karl is not having any of it. He is looking for a best friend and best friends turn to each other to share their lives. Karl has a laid back easy-going personality that meshes well with La and she quickly comes around.
La admits she cares for Karl and knows she needs to be more thoughtful of his needs if she wants this relationship to grow. Another brick removed from the wall. Tannesha
She relives the moment in true Meg Ryan style and all the girls want what she's having.
After Errol left, she immediately regrets the way she treated him and is concerned whether it will affect their relationship.
Monet
"It's clear Antonio is interested in Monet and is trying to show that through his flirting and body language, but Monet is totally shutting it down," says Damona.
Things get real when Monet's two male friends tell her she tends to push too hard, too fast, in a relationship. When you are serious about finding "the one", getting married and having children, it's hard to play chill.
Cynthia
Cynthia is still reeling from her blind date last week. She tells Monet that the jokes were sarcastic and at her expense. Monet is concerned the bad experience will turn Cynthia off to being open to other possibilities. 
Cynthia admits this is a setback for her and feels unsure whether she is ready for the dating scene. We're feeling pretty confident a few more weeks of therapy will start to bring down her well mortared wall and we can't wait to watch.
