She is a Division 1 track superstar at Converse University at Long Beach. Some of y'all know her as Kate, but to me, she's my girlfriend. And she goes by Katelyn Marie Williams. Give it up for Katelyn Marie Williams, y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hi, everyone. Thank you, Mr. Hart, for welcoming me onto your show. Happy to be here. Happy to have this discussion. What's up today? Okay, well, today's topic. I think we are... I want to say relationship, but I want to speak in general terms. What defines a relationship to you? What defines a relationship to me? I think what defines a relationship to me is just a matter of people that sort of work for each other. You know, like, you've got to understand the person you're dealing with. You have to really devote your time and your conscience to know that person. Okay, so with that, do you feel like there's an age limit with relationships? Do you think there's a direct age group for people to seek a relationship? Or does it happen on its own? I think it just happens, honestly, because, you know, some people have been together since high school. You know, their high school's been hard. Some people in college. Some people, you know, wait until they're 30 years old, and then they meet somebody that's still in college. Like, I don't know, you know? It just happens. What's your day like? Well, you know, my day, you know, me and you, we've been doing this for... Our story began a whole year ago. We've been in this dance for probably three or four months now, maybe three months. I can safely say we took our time with this one. I don't know if that's a really direct age. I think it came to a kind of mutual understanding where we kind of felt like it was right for us. It takes time. Yeah, honestly, it takes time. Honestly, it hasn't been perfect. Well, yeah, I know this isn't perfect, you know? This trial and tribulation. You know, if you expect somebody to be perfect, then you have to do it by yourself because nobody's perfect. God didn't make us that way. So what instilled in you that this would be perfect for you, or a relationship in general? What is, like, a perfect? I mean, I've always had, like, an idea of what kind of relationship I wanted or the type of person I wanted to be with. And I think wanting to, like, be with you, you check off a lot of boxes that I think are very important to me. Like, you don't have everything, you know, you're human still, but you qualify as the most important person that I need for a man. And as a woman, you know, it's those type of things that a woman should look for, like, you know? I think that really helps me out. So, you're saying I check off boxes, that's why I became a man. Does that form, like, aspect of, like, how you were raised by your father? Of course, of course. Seeing how my father deals with my mother and him being a family man and him treating me as such and what I should look for in a man when growing up. Like, I feel like that played a big role. It still plays a role today when I have a conflict with you. Like, you know, I'll generalize the story to my dad so he can give me feedback on how I should look for and deal with things. But it just makes me go back to what I did and, like, everybody's not perfect. Things happen. It's just, you as a person, what do you choose to deal with? Right. So, you had a father figure in your life, right? And you kind of have, like, an idea of what you want for as a man. What would you say for the next woman who doesn't have that, you know, that father figure in their life when they seek a relationship? Do they give that to the man that they want to deal with on their responsibility to be perfect? And if so, why? I think that when it comes to somebody who doesn't have a father figure, it has to do with self-respect on you, what you would tolerate as a woman. You don't want a man coming home late at night or drunk and being belligerent, beating on you and stuff like that. No woman wants that. It comes with that self-respect aspect. Like, what do you want as a woman? How do you want to be treated? Do you want to be treated like somebody that's just, like, nothing? Or do you want to be treated as somebody who holds you, like, to a higher standard? You know, like... No, I feel the same way. Um... So, yeah, that makes sense. I can relate to that. But, you know, let's say, like, you've been in multiple relationships, you know, right at age 21, 21, where you've dealt with the obstacles, of course, what aspects of having a partner did you see in me that stood out from your previous relationships? Well, one, you're very outgoing. And me being an outgoing person, I need that. Because I want somebody to have fun with me. I want somebody to take any type of environment. They can adapt. And they won't feel uncomfortable. I don't want to be feeling like I have to watch you or have to just be right there by your side. I want you to go. It's your own thing. It means your own thing. We can still come back together and go home together. You know, I don't want to have to feel like I can't leave him because he might do XYZ because I'm not watching him. Like, I should be able to feel safe and comfortable with leaving you somewhere else or something like that. And I feel like I already had that with you in the past. I didn't have that. Or I thought I did. But that made me feel like I was going crazy when I really wasn't. Like, it was doing stuff. They just didn't want to admit it. And I feel like they painted pictures that they couldn't uphold. So, eventually, they just couldn't. So, like, they weren't who they said or tried to paint the picture of them to be. Like, it was fake. I don't like fake stuff, though. You know? Absolutely. You can't hold up the phone for long, basically. Right. At some point, the two men and two women and two women are going to show. Right. Regardless of how you're trying to deal with that person. Right. Right. Right. So, it was like a trust investment, right? Very much, yeah. I didn't take anything. Yeah. That's it. Very big on that. Very big on that. I mean, when you want that. Of course. I mean, that's why I'm with you. That's why I see how this relationship will go forward. We have a factor where, as much as we want to be with each other, we understand that we can't be with each other physically to a certain degree. Right. We have to have a communication factor here. Absolutely. I think a lot of this generation, they don't have that. They think that being toxic and acting out and they think that's cute. That's not cute. Right. What you're doing now is almost going to play it to your 40s and young. If you want to do that, I don't want to be doing that. I want to be able to trust my partners and do the right thing without me watching it. That's right. There's communication factors. I appreciate this. I kind of broke out of myself to be, you know, more communicative to my partner as opposed to being the one-way artist, kind of branch out and take my mind off someone else. But now, being with you, being in this relationship, it makes me really want to be there, not just for a boyfriend, but just personally. Things like the one-way, I'm able to talk about my emotions, talk about my influences. I can't just run away from the page. You allow me to express myself with you. And that's why I think people are used to, they're just used to not handling situations right there and there. They want to, oh, I'm going to up and leave and then come back with advice. You come back and the issues are there, it's a result. Because y'all didn't deal with it. Y'all just want to rush things and run with it. Then when y'all get into it later on down the line, you're bringing up that same thing that y'all supposedly left alone. Right. All right, that's good. I'm being interrupted by the dog. But, Nadia, how important is having a partner to meet your family? Does that play a real key role? I think that it's very important. It's very important because your partner gets to see where you came from, who made you you. You talk to the thing that you expect or want to get done, you know? And I feel like if your partner don't want to meet your family, then he don't want to be with you, honestly. Or you don't want to be with him. Why would you not want to see where your partner came from? Why would you not want to see their background? Why would you not want to see why they think the way they think? Right. Do you feel like my appearance is playing a role in this relationship? Of course. We come from two different atmospheres. You come from this big atmosphere where, you know, you can do it all. I come from an atmosphere like, yeah, I can do it all, but it's fine. You know? But I feel like that doesn't define you. It's not like that's going to keep you where you are. You know, it's going to be something different. It's like, it's not going to define me. It's going to take advantage of you. Because, you know, Nadia, I'm just with your family. I can't have what your family has. I'm just here trying to learn you. I'm still there. I'm still there. I'm still there. You know, on this episode of the Hardcore Show, featuring Ms. Kaitlyn Marie Williams, my baby, the biggest girl that is in my life, I really appreciate your time being here. Any final words for the listeners out there? Yeah, I just want to say, take your time. It's not a hard relationship. Don't rush. Don't go looking for it. You know, let it come find you. And with that, take your time. Peace y'all. Thank you for having me, though. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.
