Kyle Richards reveals what's next in her dating life
Though Kyle and her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, are free to date, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip alum isn't ready to do so yet.
"I think I need to take a beat," Kyle admitted on the podcast. "I mean, we're both allowed to do whatever we want, which is so strange. But, if someone flirts with me at a red light, I will hit the gas and go through the red light. And you wouldn't think that if you know me, but I'm very uncomfortable... I'm not good with that."
Kyle joked that her flirting technique needs some work.
"I mean, when I was single back in the day, if I liked somebody, I just wouldn't give them the time of day," she continued. "What is that gonna get me? I would just ignore them. That's not gonna be very helpful."
"I don't like to go to social things, so unless someone were to climb over my gate. So, yeah, I probably just need a minute, definitely."
