Okay.
Yeah, fantasy suites is really tricky, but I think I handle myself very well. You know, regardless, you know, like I said, I was, there's a lot of kisses, but I do feel like fantasy suites, I really reserve myself. And because when you get physical intimacy involved. Changes things. It changes things.
And you, your connection with somebody is probably, there could be some red flags there and then you guys have sex and then everything's wonderful. So I try to handle myself really well and I try to be responsible. And yeah, my expectation was I wasn't going in there saying I'm not going to, but it had to be, I had to know that this person was my person in order for me to engage.
And at that point I didn't know who was my person.
Well, I didn't say that directly. You didn't say you didn't do other things. I didn't say I didn't do other things, but yeah, I handled myself well, you know? And then also too, like I said, there's always the pressure and the stereotype of, you know, me being the second black bachelor, you know, people were going to think I'm a player or this or that, or I'm just trying to get my rocks off.
And I wasn't, you know, I went in there with, with real intentions. And, you know, prior to that, I had been celibate for a year. So I got, I got out of a seven year relationship and I was hurting. So like, you know, sex is great, but I wanted to make sure it was with somebody who, who was my person. And then we could fuck all the time, you know, but you've had sex. Yeah.
Well, I mean, I think, well, what day are we at? Wednesday. Wednesday. So, shit, that's a good question. I would say this Monday. The following Monday has passed, so it will be this coming Monday.
How did it go? I was interrogated. Like I said, I was definitely, some of the ladies had questions for me. which I could understand, you know, I could understand it's not easy being a bachelor. It's not, it's not an easy feat. It's not an easy job. And yeah, I had to answer to some things, but like I said, I just took accountability.
And the worst thing you could do in my situation is get emotional and, you know, emotional to the point where you start to clap back and do something back. So, Whatever feelings you had, I just took accountability. And I'm not perfect. I may not be the best, but I did my best. And I think that the ladies perceived that well. And yeah, I did my best.
It was like a therapy session for me, honestly. A situation that coming up, you're going to see me reconnecting with my dad and me just knowing I had a lot of stuff inside that I was just holding in. You know, as a man, I try to always be strong and like try to keep that face, that brave face. But sometimes you got to let it out. You know, you got to let it out.
You got to be in tune with your emotions. And I feel like I tried that, you know, not that I tried that, but this journey really awakened that in me, you know, my emotional side. And to say, you know, it's okay to speak on how you feel as long as you're not crying everywhere. You know, there's a point, there's a place in time to, as a man, to let yourself be vulnerable.
You know, I think it's a strength.
No, I think the process works if you go in there and you're ready. Well, not to say that, but there's also external factors. But for me, because I was at a point where I was super ready, I did my best to make it work. And like I said, obviously, there's external factors. It's both people that have to make it work. But from my end, I was ready.
No, I did. I did realize it was shorter. And, you know, there's some there's some things with the network. Obviously, I don't really know, you know, maybe scheduling or things like that. But listen, I was emotionally I was getting drained. So, I mean, I'm glad it was only six six or seven weeks because I would have started to spiral if it wasn't so.
No, it didn't affect my ability. Like I'm a lover boy. So I was falling like, you know, it doesn't take me a lot. See, I was falling like week two. So I was like, it didn't really take a lot, but it does. It does when you start to fall and then you form another connection here. That's where things you wish you had a little more time to kind of like really figure things out. Okay.
Yeah, no, not that I was scared. I just, you know, at first you walk in there with nerves, you might be a little nervous, but then when you meet the families and they're so welcoming and cool, it's like, oh, like this isn't, this isn't hard. I'm just be myself, you know?
So going in there, I was a little nervous, you know, but I said, if I'm just going to be, I'm just going to be myself and whoever accepts me for me is, is, is that's, that's a sign.
Nah, I knew he was joking. He was such a cool guy. I knew he was messing around. I'd like to play a little game. Let's do it. Okay.
I think it will be very family orientated. I think it will be fun. I think it will be a lot of us building each other up and healing each other from our past experiences that we went through. And I think it will be a relationship founded in friendship. Where would y'all be living?
Probably on the East Coast. Probably on the East Coast. I grew up on the East Coast. So yeah, typically maybe in the city somewhere.
