Transcript

00:00It was kind of like short like I guess like around like February we started

00:04hanging out and I haven't I have not been with anyone or kissed anyone since

00:09like last winter like you know around February and then I think we started

00:14being boyfriend and girlfriend in like middle of April it's like a little bit

00:18before the cameras came around so yeah it's been a long time I mean it's been

00:21like seven or seven months so it's been great. I feel like you're gonna have to

00:25tune in to find out I feel like you watch our whole journey from you know we

00:31just started dating to you know talking about you know getting serious and

00:37taking that you know kind of big next step so I feel like you'll see that

00:42play out and I'm excited because we're in Vegas when it happens and that trip

00:46is awesome. Yeah I just don't like it's such an epic moment on the show and like

00:51so much leads up to it so I like I would just like you know tell you right now

00:55but I just think that would ruin a lot of things. The Vegas thing was was I was

01:00it was a serious to me because you know I wanted to show my love for her and

01:05prove all the haters wrong you know. When that when the trailer dropped like oh my

01:10goodness even when it happened I had to talk to my family immediately because I

01:15feel like it's so typical for me to do something like that and yeah I feel

01:21There's a hilarious moment where I'm like Mr. Reese and it's just

01:27like the wrong time to do it so I'm I have anxiety about like you know her

01:32family's amazing we're all so close. We were close with each other's

01:36families before that so that made things a little easier but you'll just have to

01:40see what happens. Yeah it was like way too easy. I thought it was like gonna be

01:46difficult. Once like the dust settled and like once we like we realized

01:51that like what I was like why the hell didn't we do this years ago but it was

01:56just like a amazing feeling like how safe and comfortable we felt once we

02:00realized that it was real. I was just like I feel like even like there was a

02:04lot of people I feel like I couldn't trust and stuff like that just off of my

02:10own thinking like I was like oh my goodness like you know and I feel like

02:14Joe is someone I've always trusted and we built that friendship before we

02:19started dating and I think that's like so important versus in my past

02:23relationships I've kind of met someone and then we sleep together and then

02:26we're dating kind of thing and I don't know who they are like the scariest

02:32thing was I know this this might sound like a little bit weird but like I had

02:37feelings for Maddie for years before we had slept together so we'd only like you

02:41know kissed on on you know a few times before and it was like very surface

02:46level like it was just scary to like yeah I have feelings for someone and not

02:51have like the chemistry outside of meant the mental chemistry that makes sense
