Re: Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - FAN FORUM - *Lauren* - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

She reminds me of Becca on Chris's season. I remember really loving her back then, because she wasn't performative or trying to win a competition. She let the relationship develop organically. Likewise, I like that Lauren didn't tell Arie her sob story from day one. She waited to see if she could trust him and if he would be kind and accepting before opening up. That seems so much more real to me.

Good posts !! She’s very afraid to open up in the short timeframe this show affords ! Speed dating wouldn’t be her thing esp after she said to Arie she had guys in the friend zone for 6 months !
His response : Damn
But one thing I can see is she’s falling in love with him and is so scared that the timeframe of the show will cause her to loose him by picking someone else !
The beauty in this is that Arie’s heart must take a gut wrenching turn to get him where he truly wants to be : in love with Lauren

Is there a 10 year age difference between Arie and Lauren? He's 36 and she is 26?

Basically! She turned 26 in November last year and he turned 36 in September.

During their 1-on-1, when walking, Arie kissed Lauren’s hand. It’s a very sweet gesture showing a lot of reverence for her. He’s courting her like a gentleman, setting her in another category than the other women IMO.
This also remind me of Becca Tilley and Chris Soules connection, developing slowly but very wisely, as if they wanted to make sure to build a strong foundation. I find Lauren to be very similar to Becca T, not physically but in her approach of the relationship, her awareness of the short time frame and the problems it could cause.

They definitely have a connection. There is no denying that. I thought it was sweet when he told her he had a crush on her and he hoped that she likes him. It reminded me a of grade school crush between a boy and a girl. Very innocent and tender.

Several people including Rachel Lindsay have pointed out that Arie is different with Lauren.  He is tender and romantic.  I notice the forehead and cheek kissing and now hand kissing, the courting behavior.  There must be something about her that awakens the romantic in him.  I don't think it is just that she is hard to get or "doesn't want him."  I think it is her demeanor that she lets him lead and takes a coy approach which is disarming him.  JMO.  It may change but right now that is where she is with him.

I get the sense he has butterflies when he is around her. Butterflies that can't be explained but bring out the romantic feelings.
