Derynn Paige has always had her guard down and when it comes to dating, she tried to maintain her distance. However, things changed when she met Ricky or how the house likes to call him, 'Pretty Ricky'. She had a chance to meet Ricky through Vinny Guadagnino as they both worked at the same place. 

While Derynn thought she would never have any sort of relationship with a stripper, things changed when she met Ricky. The two had a chemistry that was hard to ignore. After spending a night having fun, Derynn decided to take Ricky back home. Unfortunately, a mishap in the bed made Derynn question herself. This led the two to distance from each other. However, their connection was back on when they met at a social event. While Derynn had thought that their story was over, she was surprised to find out when Ricky called her and asked her on a date. Without hesitation, Derynn agreed to go on a date and see how things work out. 

She decided to dress to impress him and undoubtedly, it worked. The two went out for a nice lunch where they opened up about what they were feeling. Derynn shed light on her past relationship and revealed that she had planned on marrying him. She further admitted that she had made plans on getting married at 25 and having a child at 27. 

However, her dreams were washed away when she found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her with her friend. To make things worse, the pair got engaged last year on Derynn's birthday. Ricky admitted that it is the worst feeling one could go through. As time passed, Derynn was curious to find out how Ricky, who works as a stripper, had a relationship. 

She wanted to know if girls were usually fine dating a stripper. Ricky explained that he wanted to be with a girl who understood that being a stripper was his job, but at the end of the day, he would be coming back home to only one girl. Derynn felt pleased with his answer and the two ended their evening with a kiss. 

While they have not put a label on the relationship, it seems like a romance is brewing between them. 

'Double Shot At Love' airs on Thursdays at 8 pm ET on MTV.
