You lot need to stop talking so much. I am 3 pints of gin in, it's hard work with everyone wanting to be in my business 😉

Fucks sake. How many more times do we have to hear about the dress? 🙄

No, because she is clearly giving mixed signals and the bloke doesn’t know where he stands with her.

The simple fact is, she has issues. Issues she should’ve got therapy for, not come in this show when she is clearly struggling with EVERYTHING.

Mixed signals imo are talked about by those who feel entitled to sex. Like Ashley did. They had a nice night out, discussed contraception, bought some but then Grace obviously changed her mind. We can do that. It’s not ‘mixed signals’, it being free to change your mind for whatever reason at any point.

If you buy a condom with someone, it does not mean you have to use it later. She clearly does feel pressured to go along with everything, otherwise she wouldn't keep backing out. So what if she takes longer to warm up physically than other people? Many people do and that's fine, She needs someone who can allow that to happen and let it play out much more slowly. Like months, not weeks, or even longer if she's not sure. You do NOT know someone's personality after 3 weeks or if they are trustworthy and some people need that before they commit physically.

I do agree she's unsuited to this programme though and have no idea what she was thinking being on it.

@EmeraldShamrock000 Is he? That's so fking irresponsible to stick him with a party girl.

I recognised a few quotes, I think he is. He's fighting demons.
He wants to avoid partying.

I think they're using him to 'fix' her, which is unfair.

So who is stopping you from being your funny, silly self?

She is

Frequentlyincorrectbut · 06/10/2025 21:39

My advice to Grace and Ashley would be to take sex off the table completely at this point. She feels stressed and anxious, and he's on about how he thought he was in there and then he wasn't. You go the speed of the slowest person, not the speed of the fastest or of a TV show for other people's entertainment. My guess is he would sleep with her and then break her trust so she's spot on.

No, the mixed signals are her telling him she doesn’t want be touched, but then holding his hand.

It’s totally fine for her to not want sex.

But she’s contradicting herself around the touching part, so it’s only natural he’s feeling confused about what she wants.

Im amazed they let him buy the drinks

You missed absolutely nothing. It was just recaps of last night. Oh, and the new barrel bottom basement couples.

You didn't miss much. The dress incident for 25 minutes, an overbearing mum and a man with stary eyes. Oh and a wazzock who uses shit chat up lines in supermarkets.

I think that's covered it.

Grace needs to listen to her brunette friend!! Also they are allowed to touch her hand or rub her back to comfort her 😉

That isn’t what I’m referring to.

I’m referring to the fact she was adamant she didn’t want to be touched. Practically shaking at the thought. But then she’ll be touchy feely with him. So he’s trying to navigate what her boundaries are, but she keeps changing them.

Holding hands is very different to being massaged etc. And it is ok to want to be touched sometimes and not others. Sorry for you if you don’t realise that.

It also sounds like there's been no discussion about how much contact and what kind is and isn't acceptable. Probably, in part, because she finds it so hard to discuss intimacy (I include snogging and cuddling in this).

I agree that you font have to have sex. But i think she seems very uncomfortable generslly sndv I'm not sure she is suited to being on a programme that exposes people as.much as MAFS does.. Its nit comfortable to watch .

Donttellempike · 06/10/2025 21:42

The reason they chose him is that he’s a total bell end you will hate. Good for the drama

Another walking wounded. 🤦‍♀️
