Things get awkward in the new season of Married at First Sight.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip from episode 1 of season 20, premiering July 12 on Peacock, a phone call gets uncomfortable when Adam, 31, informs his most recent fling that he’s joining the reality show.
Gauging Adam’s dating life, relationship expert Paul C. Brunson asks Adam when the last time he brought a woman home was. Adam reveals that he brought a date home the week before, but she didn’t stay the night.
“I made her dinner,” he says, adding that he’s seen her five times.
“I would imagine that she would like for there to be a sixth time,” Brunson says, to which Adam replies, “Hypothetically. She said she had a good time when I asked her if she had a good time. So she may have had a good time.”
“This right here could be another issue that Adam has,” Brunson says to Adam and his friends. “Directness.”
Brunson pulls Adam away for a private chat and tests how serious Adam is in this pursuit of love. He tells Adam to call the woman he’s been dating and tell her about his participation in Married at First Sight andthat he won’t be seeing her again.
“I mean, it’s such a casual thing, and we hang out so infrequently, I would just send a text,” Adam says. “It would be a long text, but it’s not serious enough to warrant a call.”
Brunson replies, “Adam. Adam.” He continues, “I would feel better if you call. Clean slate.”
Adam calls the woman and tells her the “crazy” news and that he’s hoping to be matched with someone. “I won’t be able to keep seeing you, and I just wanted to say I’ve had an awesome time with you. So, I’m sorry.”

The woman replies, “Is this a joke?”
“No, this is not a joke. I’m really sorry,” he says. “I know this probably sounds crazy, but….”
“You should be sorry,” she interrupts. “I gotta go.” Then, as he’s about to say something, she hangs up the phone.

“So she’s not that happy,” Adam tells Brunson, who responds, “She’s not. But you know what that means?”
“Yeah, she definitely liked me,” Adam says.
