We were...

But we were very upfront.

We were like, we're not dating.

So we have no reason to lie.

And so here you are kind of leaning on the fact that like, we're not dating, we're not dating.

I don't, I can do whatever I want.

You could.

And yet the fact that you lied is an example.

It had nothing to do with whether you were dating together.

In fact, if I'm Scarlett, I'm thinking he has more incentive to lie if we are in a relationship because you couldn't even be honest with her when you could like you had every reason to tell the truth.

Like she wasn't your girlfriend.

So, you know what I'm saying?

You're still kind of like, we weren't dating, we weren't dating.

It's like a justification for the line.

Yeah, if I did it over again, I would have just told her the truth.

Like I said, like, you know, it would have been that black and white.

And however she dealt with that, you know, that would be on her.

But like I said, I...

I felt, you know, in those moments, I was kind of like, I could have even reworded it, and I think I talked to Mark on the show, but it's because, like, you could have said something like, I don't owe you that answer, or, like, you know, if you want to ask that question, we need to be dating, so, like, either let's make this concrete, or, like, we should stop having this gray, wishy-washy, like, because she was seeing other people, too, so it wasn't just like, you know.

No, but I'm assuming she was honest about it.
