I'm not disappointed in him at all Cecilia... he is being as honest with his feelings as he can be. self realization is tough, and that is what he is going thru. he admitted to his mom on the htd that his walls that he had up were starting to come down, and it was a healing thing to put yourself in a really vulnerable position to fall in love. at the end of that htd date, Brooks admitted that he and Des were on the same page and he didn't want her to leave... the next picture we have is RC and he sees Zak completely blindsided and this puts these questions up there again, and once again the walls go up. He is finding any and all excuses to get out before he gets blindsided by Des. that's what the talk with mom and sister was about, the talk with CH. you could see him thinking when asked, are you telling me you are not in love with Des? he loves her but fears the heartache. even tho he told her on the first date he would be open to falling in love even if he gets his heart broken, he has too many ghosts in his closet.

I don't think for one moment that he is not realizing the depth of his love for Des, if that was the case he would have said his peace and got up and left. yet, after breaking up with her he wanted to stay with her, he wanted to continue to hold and comfort her. I have no doubt that Brooks loves Des, in his heart and his head.

I sure wish I could be as optimistic as you!

atem... i'm sure i'm further down this road than you in the number of years on this planet. honestly, it's not just being optimistic. it's living life and giving the benefit of the doubt to all, it's trusting that good things happen to all people, it's learning to live when you were sure you couldn't take another breath. I know what my eyes saw, not what the edit says, but what I saw with my own eyes. plus it doesn't hurt that I have been assured Brooks F1, Chris F2, and Drew F3. hang in there and trust what you have seen with your own eyes, not what hasn't been shown.

I'm just trying to get it. I know you have been assured, but did they give details? I mean, I know that this person hasn't let you down before, but maybe they did this time?

I made him wait 3 days for an answer!!!
The local priest came to my house to talk us out of it .. Didn't think it would work
My guy brought me a pine cone as proof of him going to a special place to contemplate his future .. While there he drove a stick in the ground and marked it with a kerchief that I had given him .. 2 years later we traveled there .. And low and behold .. It was still there
He was thousands of miles away .. And had to earn enough money to get back to me by the date of the wedding .. He made it by 2 days .. With new cowboy boots in hand LOL

Awwww!

The thing I don't understand is if Brooks comes back...how he would get a ring to propose? And then once he is back would it be a "surprise" if she picks Brooks over Chris? I guess not right? So maybe that is not the surprise?

so i

Okay but even if Des ends up with Brooks...doesn't that suck for her...I mean I would feel forever insecure in the relationship. I mean if Brooks has doubts now...it just gets worse when the show ends and they are together in real life. The chances of them lasting are pretty darn low to begin with. Anyway honestly I don't see so much chemistry with Des and any of the guys...even with Brooks it's not like crazy chemistry or anything. Also I think I saw a pic of Brooks' last girlfriend...she was very pretty so it's not like Des is so WOW for him...I mean looks isn't everything but I just think Brooks has been with girls he likes more than he likes Des.

I agree that could happe but honestly in a relationship it's always better for the guy to chase the girl and the guy to like the girl more in the beginnning....cuz girls feelings always seem to grow stronger and a guys not as much.

If Des is with Brooks I just don't see it lasting.

Broooks' "Why didn't you tell me" actually got an answer from Des: "I can't." But then he said "You can say anything." Don't the contestants know that the Lead can't say ILY before the FRC? Or is that a myth?

by Guest Tue Jul 30, 2013 2:13 am

Why did that post so many times? Sorry, guys.
