Confidence

Date #1 (Alone Date) Marcus – Let’s get a taste of Brussels

The date started with a walk around the city checking out the sights and eating the local food.  Over lunch, Andi brought up Marcus wanting to leave early on in their dating history.  Marcus reassured her that he doesn’t want to go home anymore…with the exception of a hometown date!

The date ended with a romantic dinner in a palace.  Over dinner they talked about what a hometown date experience would be if Andi opted to give him a rose.  Marcus shared his father abandonment issues with Andi.  Andi seemed surprised to hear that his mom would describe herself as ‘not the best mother’.  Marcus admitted to having a dysfunctional relationship with his mother.  He shared that his dysfunctional relationship with his mother has improved over the years.  Andi was impressed with how he has handled his childhood and moved past the issues.

When Marcus returned home after the date he shared his experience with the guys.  Nick was completely irritated and decided to go find Andi.  He went down to the hotel lobby, claimed that he lost his room key and got a hotel key to Andi’s room. – Staged!  Andi was shocked and happy at the same time.  They went for a walk and stopped for a drink.  Nick told Andi that he has insane feelings for her.  Andi dug deeper asking what exactly that means.  She got out of him that he imagines marrying her.  Andi told the camera that she would describe her relationship with Nick as ‘passion’.

Date #2 (Alone Date) Josh – Let’s ghent it on

Andi told the camera that she feels like Josh needs to catch up with the others guys and share his feelings. 

The date began with a walk around town.  Josh told Andi that he is excited about introducing Andi to his family and telling them about their experiences.  Josh told Andi that he has feelings for her…but it didn’t seem believable.

The date ended with a romantic dinner.  Andi told the camera that she needs to find out how Josh feels about their relationship or she will send him home.  After dinner they talked about what to expect if she went to his hometown.  Andi got Josh to admit that he would tell his family that he is falling in love with her.  He took it one step farther and said that he wants to marry her.  Go with your gut girl!

Date #3 (Group Date) Dylan, Chris, Nick, Brian – True love is sacred

The date started off with Nick having a poor attitude about being on a group date.  Andi planned the date to explore the countryside.  It started off with checking out an old castle, then moving onto a rail-bike ride, and then to a working monastery.  Before entering the monastery Andi let the boys know that there is no kissing on the grounds. 

They had lunch on the monastery grounds.  The boys were shocked because the rose was on the table!  Usually the rose doesn’t appear until dinnertime!  Andi pulled Chris aside for some alone time.  She took him to a room to make pottery.  After reenacting the scene from Ghost they returned to the group date.  Andi broke the news to the boys that the rose would be handed out on the date and whoever received the rose would continue on the date.  The others would return to their hotel room.  Brian admitted to falling in love with Andi during his one on one time. 

Nick was confident with his status once again!  The other guys were offended by his confidence.  Nick told Andi that he feels she is falling in love with him.  Andi handed Rose #1 to Nick!  Nick interpreted the rose as Andi saying she loves him.  The other guys were pissed off!  During Andi’s dinner date with Nick she told him that it is a big deal he received the first impression rose and the first hometown date rose. 

Back at the hotel the boys were talking smack about Nick. They predicted if he were one of the last two standing that he would walk away. Their concern was that Andi was blind to Nick’s intentions.

After Nick’s date he came back to the hotel to the guys talking about how much they don’t trust him.  When Nick walked into the room the guys stopped talking and they all sat in silence.  Finally Brian broke the silence!  He said that they don’t trust him because he knows so much about the Bachelor and strategies constantly.  All of the other guys chimed in.  Nick denied all accusations!
