Did anyone else see ring on ring finger right hamd on date with Des HOLLYWOOD SIGN DATE. Anyways its not just that cause seriously his whole personality well he does not scream straight!!!!!!! JUST MY OWN THOUGHT I COULD BE WRONG!! I JUST AM AROUND IT ALL THE TIME AND I see it so clearly with him its crazzzy!! Oh and why delete account or pics if u have nothing to hide. It also could just be his personality! And he can totally be straight. Just throwing out there what I think so far.

A guy can be both too.......My dad and mom were married for 25 yrs 5 kids he told me he knew he was gay when he was 12!!!!! But he loved my mom soooo much in the end he found an amazing guy my mom and him divorced. A gay guy can totally show love and affection towards a women. My dad did for 25 yrs!!!! He still loves her but loved guy more. Just sayin

Im surprised that someone who's own father is gay would say that....and because he wears a ring?! Really?

I live in NYC and have many gay friends. Gay people are a diverse and broad group of individuals, who come in all shapes and sizes and personalities and dress. When people think about gay men, they automatically associate them with certain stereotypes and generalizations. If you dad is indeed gay and you are "around them", you should know, that for every gay man that fits that mold, there is another that does not.

Now back to your ring theory. Could it be that he wants to dress up his appearance a bit and that's the only place his favorite ring fits? Besides, his only other alternative may have been the left hand ring finger, which (as you know) is reserved for the wedding band.

I'm surprised at your lack of background on the "rings" given your dad as well. Many decades ago, some gay men would use left and right side signals to indicate their sexuality or preferences in bed. This was back in the days surrounding Stonewall when being gay meant an instant beat down or arrest. These indicators, though no longer used today, lived on and spread outside of the gay community.

Yeah, that was fun to see. Did you see the behind the scene pics? He had a blast on that date!

i think i've seen some of the caps. i was hoping they'd show where brooks is carrying des piggy back style on the bridge. that was really cute but maybe they just don't want to make their connection ridiculously obvious. we'll see how brooks does waiting week after week seeing her go on the other 1-1 dates. i wonder if he'll be like JP.

Yeah, they cut that adorable scene out! Should have known that when it was in the video.

Loved that piggy back ride! It would have made a great avi.

Anywhoo....changing course now. Totally not trying to stalk but Brooks has listened to JT's Mirrors and My Love on Spotify within the last few hours....sounds like a man in love. Just sayin' :giggle:

I like Brooks even more after seeing him interact with Des on their date. He's totally my type (tall & lean with dark hair) but he has a great personality and sense of humor too. I would've been smitten with him by the end of that date for sure. :) I'll watch their date again tomorrow.

The date was so natural that you'd ask if they knew each other before, i loved there interaction and Brooks seems to be a caring and genuine guy so i hope all of you guys speculations are off and that they'll be happy forever if he's the one.

I loved their date, it has to be one of the best first dates I've seen. Just their interaction, and ease with each other, there were no awkward silent moments, or the typical meaningless small talk we normally see "I had fun today" "it was really amazing". Really looking forward to seeing more of them together.

Yeah, that was one of the best first dates I've ever seen. I wasn't expecting that at all!

He seemed totally genuine and their time together felt natural. I was sure that the dancing would be totally awkward but even that was cute!

Seriously, all this speculation just saddens me. In this day and age, I was hoping as a society were moving past some of these stereotypes, etc.

I absolutely agree! Look for love, connection and real friendship. Please put these stereotypes away.
I also noticed that Brooks at first thought she wanted him to try on a wedding dress, he was not into that, and was relieved when she let him know that he would be trying on tuxes. However, I think he was willing to be a good sport.
