^^ I agree. It wouldn't be a good balance if he ended up with someone very emotional as this could lead the relationship astray. I agree with the fortune reading for them. Benlo's relationship is very grounded and if they grow well into each other, will be very transformational for the two of them.

Yes!! It's the overwhelming family support from both sides that makes this couple different, IMO. Their families seem ALL IN, like they know this is likely it for their kids so they better support and get on board, and they did. You don't always see this level of support like these two have from all sides. Because the people they love the most are so confident and supportive, it makes me more confident as a fan to go ahead and fan girl over them.

It was actually refreshing to see a Bachelor treating the process like that, so many just think with their little man parts and call it a day. Anyway, just my observation for how I think he can be. In Lauren, I see a very calm and rational individual. As the first born of many, she also strikes me as very nurturing. She also seems lighthearted and giggly. Personally, I think this is the perfect personality type for Ben, someone that could balance him out and talk him down and out of his head when needed.

She has come across as very patient and consistent, and pretty much always happy. That should allow him to go through his phases using her as an anchor.

I don't get the impression she is a talk-off-the-ledge type so much as a hold-my-hand-and-breathe-we-can-stand-here-as-long-as-you-need-to type. I keep thinking of her face in one scene when he cuddled into her; she seems to let him be. It will be nice if they do prove to be what each other needs. I definitely have hope for them.

@DW, I remember that scene. That was touching and said a lot about her. I love Ben too but for different reasons. Together they are a real and genuine couple that I enjoy thinking about and yes, keeping up with.
