Re: Nick Viall Bachelorette 10 - Fan Forum - Updates - Discussion - Thread #10

I thought it was interesting that she tweeted she was dating two guys but had to cut one. She had scissors in place of the word "cut". Without going back to look, I don't know how recent that tweet is.

Who is she?  The Bachelorette?  Just kidding.  I believe that tweet was from 2 days ago.. I think she mentioned she had a date last night too. I am honestly going to try not to judge since we only know her from her twitter and not personally. We really don't even know Nick personally either just from what he has shown us on the show and on SM too.

The Chi girl or whoever she is. I never judged her. I just thought the tweet was interesting. Kind of wondered if she has ever had a date with our Nick.

No, I am sorry, I never meant to imply you were judging her, more like me judging her. I don't know if she and Nick ever had a date - possibly but thus far no one has ever spotted him out with anyone (at least based on twitter accounts). If he did, then it would have really been kept under wraps.

[isittrue]

I also find it interesting that she is tweeting about spelling errors when 2 days ago, tweeters were calling him out on his spelling mistakes during his live tweets during BIP.

Last ex gf - natural brunette: pictured here with Nick's bff who signed him up for The Bachelorette.  Obviously their parting was amicable and they still run in the same social circle.  Many of Nick's family members follow her on Facebook so it was just 2 nice people who transitioned from romance to friendship.

Nick's sister, Maria Therese, did say Andi was his "type" and I do think she meant personality because she is very into the holistic movement as evidenced in this series of interviews. She also zeroed in on the "broken heart" aspect when talking with Andi during the HTD so I'm not sure if that was general talk or a red flag. I liked that Maria Therese asked if she made him laugh ... which she didn't.

Nick's ex-fiancé - the only mention I've ever read was a friend who gave a statement in an US weekly article.  He was a named source who said something about the girl not being who they thought she was.  She was never named.  I think that's appropriate as just because a person decides to go on tv doesn't mean they should give lots of details about their non-tv exes.  Besides, Nick himself said he was immature in that relationship and that it was basically a rebound so he shifted the focus off of her and on to himself.

His 6 month self-imposed exile - this was related to his first on/off relationship that started in high school.  This time around, post "bachelorette", he appears to be in a much better head space.  He is definitely out there with friends enjoying life in general.  I think Andi's "demeanor" really had an upside meaning it allowed him to step back, hear what almost every interviewer said (they often used the word "cold" when interviewing him) and revisit where his heart had been and re-evaluate the worth of that relationship.  

None of the guys Nick hung out with on the show have started dating yet. Brian, Nick S, JJ... Dylan and Marquel had dates on BIP but not sure if that counts as it's a tv show after all that has date cards and it's basically contrived. Whenever any of these guys decide to be seen on a real life date a lot of people are going to know about it.  It's basically a downside of having been on The Bachelorette. The upside is that the friends they've made also have friends who might be a good date match for someone plus some of the women who appeared on previous seasons aren't looking for fame plus know first-hand how the edit works so that deepens the dating pool.

I imagine all of these guys would be a bit leery of fans.
This could be a clue:
Nick's tweet -
"I looked and your instagram and you seem like a really great guy." I am speechless #bip #BachelorInParadise

Excellent post NR! I can imagine a lot of these guys would be leery of fans after coming off this show - it can be difficult to determine who is really interested in someone for the right reasons or who just wants to be arm candy.

I do remember Maria asking Nick if Andi made him laugh and him saying that she made him smile - that did stand out to me at the time.

I now remember the pictures of Nick's first ex and she is indeed a beautiful woman. That's why I laugh when I hear that interviewers are asking Andi how ever did Nick end up in the F2 like Nick was not handsome enough or something - really! Apparently plenty of beautiful women find Nick just fine!

[sdmom]

Yes, NR, enjoy your post!  
Kind of OT, but I like Nick's sister Maria. She reminds me of Drew's sister. Both seem loving and caring.

That was one of the indications that maybe they weren't the right balance together.

My husband can't really say that I make him laugh, but he most definitely makes me laugh!  And sometimes I can get a good ricocheted off of one of his snarky comments ;)   It definitely helps if SOMEONE in a couple is funny! And that did seem to be something Nick and Andi were missing together; somehow they didn't know how to create laughter together.

I noticed Nick wrote some very positive tweets about Sarah after last night's BIP. I wonder if she is another potential match for him in this franchise. I know we all love the idea of him with Sharleen, but who knows if there will actually be any "there", there, once they finally meet.

I agree. I believe even his sister hesitated before telling him that it was good at least that she made him smile.
