things of that nature I think listen with Zoe she grew up in the south and she's a strong black woman and the way that she comes across off camera you know maybe sometimes she's a little defensive and sometimes things like that come into play but what I will say is every group date every situation she showed up and she gave her all And I see where that comes from.
I've dealt with that in the past where you get stigmas placed on you or things like that, and you have to power through those. So I really wanted to help her grow. And I think that I have empathy. I'm an empath. So I saw that in Zoe and I saw a place for me to help build her up. I saw a place for growth where I could say, okay, this person and I could relate and I could kind of teach her.
or show her not how to be, but like how to grow out of a situation when she spent majority of her childhood going through probably, you know, uh, bullying and, you know, you could tell that she, she was, she needed some confidence instilled in her. So I, I was, I tried to be that person.
Yeah. They're both bring unique sides out of me. And yeah. I think that with Jules, with Juliana, there was something that we could relate to. I called her Jules. I called her Jules. I called Latia TT. That's true.
I called her TT. I'm just corny like that sometimes. He likes a nickname.
No, but I think that she brought a certain side out of me that we really related over the addiction and some of the trauma we went through and how we were going to build each other up and how we could understand each other. And Latia was really nurturing. She is an amazing woman and she has so much to offer. And I saw that.
So both of them had different aspects that I kind of, that's why I had such a hard time seeing going down to this final moment. So.
he didn't get the bat signal yeah i think that listen i'm not gonna say listen i went in there i knew that you know with carolina she the attitude that she had on the dates you know not not a bad attitude but her demeanor was kind of like you know she she was questioning and doubting and you know there were obviously there were things that happened behind that the scenes that didn't that weren't necessarily showed on camera but going in there you know i i was leaning more towards letting go of the relationship but when you know she started to cry and she started to do things i just i
She did her thing. She did her thing. She did her thing. And I had to defuse the situation, you know, maybe, maybe it would have been a best idea to, to end the relationship there. I just, yeah, looking back at it, maybe I was trying to be too, too nice, you know, and maybe worried about my appearance or how it would look and, you know, when somebody's crying, sending them home.
But at the end of the day, we definitely had a connection. I tried to mend that as much as possible, you know, and I try, cause I really did have a connection with her. But all the things that got in the way and just her questioning the process and doubting me, it started to really get to me.
And right there in that moment, I was trying to, you know, I went in there with the mindset, maybe this is going to work out. But then I had to remember all the good things that we had and tried to fight for the relationship.
Yeah. The final two, the final two women, uh, I, I had a connection with them first night, night one, or even the second episode, basically, you know, I think that a lot of people, uh, you know, even, and I'm going to bring this, my, my, even my connection with Alex, she got the first impression. Yeah. I just, our love languages were very different, you know, we're very different.
And not to say that I was more serious cause I know she was serious, but she was not, she wasn't used to the romance and things like that as much, you know, and I, we were trying to work, but ultimately it was just, I just saw the difference there. And like I said, she was great. You know, we could have moved forward. I just thought it was best that it didn't happen that way.
But as far as my final two, I thought that, yeah, we were right on par. I thought the connection was there from night one.
Yeah. For sure.
Do you want to elaborate on that? Yeah, so it definitely comes up in the future, but there's a difference between saying, I'm thinking about giving reassurance to somebody and then saying, listen, when I'm with this person, I'm thinking about you. Like, that's not how I meant it. That's kind of like, that gives off major, major player vibes. And I wasn't trying to give that off.
So I think, yeah, there's just a miscommunication there. But there's a big difference between what I said and then what was said that I said that I said didn't say.
at the end of the day, it falls on me. You know, I could have done a better job of communicating that, but at the same time, I think that Carolina started to doubt the process from that moment on. So, again, I see both sides of it and I understand why Carolina started to act the way that she did because if you're told that somebody, if you're told that, you're going to question. So,
Ultimately, I think it falls on me. And maybe if I would have worded it different, or like I said, going in there, trying to reassure everybody and just because I cared, maybe that wasn't the best thing. Maybe, you know, but I, in that moment, I genuinely, I had a connection with Rose. You know, we, our first thing, we did the blind date, we did the blind, we were kissing.
And well, I mean, I was kissing everybody, but we definitely had a connection.
