Ro caught up with LeToya Luckett on the brink of releasing her new album, Lady Love, to get her take on relationships. Check out what she has to say about men, deal-breakers and the best thing a man said to her.
What are you like in a relationship? Are you a giver or a taker?
I’m a giver in a relationship. I give too much sometimes but I love to give; it makes me happy to give. It excites me to be there when someone needs to cry on my shoulder, I love that, I live for that.
What do you bring to a relationship?
I’m gonna have your back. I know that people mess up and do crazy things, and I’ve been in relationships where the person made a mistake, but that doesn’t change my love for them. I’m going to be your best friend, I’m going to be your homie, we’re going to go to church together, we’re going to pray together … I might not make you dinner but I’ll take you to a good restaurant [laughing].
What’s your ideal man?
My ideal man? I hope he’s coming soon [laughing]. My ideal man has to have a relationship with God. I’m sorry, I don’t really do atheist. He’d have strength, confidence … swagger. Somebody that can make me laugh and have fun. I can’t stand when you go on a date with a guy and he looks like he’s not having fun.
What’s the deal breaker in a relationship?
No personality. And if you have body odor, I can’t work with that.
What’s the best thing a man has ever told you?
The best thing a man has ever told me — this is going to sound crazy, it’s nothing sexual — but he told me, you’re the best woman I’ve ever had. The thing is in a lot of my relationships I was friends with them first. But I just love having that friendship first, I think that’s important. I don’t think it should be based on physical attraction and lust …
