Re: Andi Dorfman & Josh Murray - Media Thread - Fan Forum - Discussion Thread #4

Actually to me they look just like most couples who have been together for a while and the ones I know aren't always touching and showing PDA.  They do some but not constantly. They are out walking the dog together, having brunch, grocery shopping.  These are not activities that you need to be wrapped around each other.  Now they can do everything in the privacy of their own place.  

As far as being together 24/7 we don't know that for sure.  Josh may be working therefore Andi has the day to do whatever she wants.  Plus didn't Josh have a date to play golf with Hy on Thurs?  They've been out and about on Fri and Sat with friends.  Seems to me they are just another couple living their lives dating and engaged.  Makes me happy to see them.

     Exactly, you stated it perfectly. Thank You.

These two Def need their own reality TV show. I know I would LOVE to see a show with just these two. I already tweeted Millsy if anyone else cares to join in. It can't hurt !! (Anything to get these two back on my TV screen. )

As much as I would love to see them on TV and get a reality show I think it would put a great strain on their relationship.  I would rather them go and live their life and get updates on SM...But that is just me.

Now if they follow them around planning their wedding I can handle that.

Actually, that is what I would hope for - something time-limited and something that could build the anticipation leading to the wedding.

Need help getting to a happy place.  These pictures bother me.  I noticed they were not smiling, not holding hands while walking, and when they were standing there Andi had her hand on his shoulder but he didn't have his arm around her as he usually does.
Maybe I am just getting paranoid and they do not always have to be lovey dovey all the time.  

It's all good.  I think they are madly in love as anyone who sees them together seems to attest.  I particularly like it when Andi is the one who is initiating physical touch as she is in this picture.  Josh is so touchy-feely (although according to his mom that was not his norm prior to Andi) that at times I have wondered if Andi would eventually find it cloying but apparently not so much!

I love the bolded. IMO, in the beginning, Andi was hyper focused and intent on protecting herself, both for show and real world, past experiences. She didn't want to be the Ette that had her f1 leave and be embarrassed on a national stage, and she was cheated on by the ex in the past for real. To me, it really seemed her underlying feeling was that growing attached to one of the guys, especially cocky, liar, cheater Josh, was like a dirty thing to her. So I love seeing how attached she is to him now, and obviously she feels that same love and attachment back. You can totally tell what type of bond and trust they have and it's seriously heartwarming. I love to see how affectionate and sweet she is now because he brought it out in her. So adorable!!

On the PDA front, like Josh said, what he feels isn't a passing fancy, so I personally don't feel the need to overanalyze their level of PDA in a public park. Did we want them to get kicked out of the movie theater for feeling each other up in the back or something? They moved in together without knowing each other pretty much and couldn't leave the house, and it's been 4 or so months now, so I think they've got this relationship thing down by now.

^ That's the thing Alanna and I'm glad you wrote that. For most of these couples, the real world doesn't begin until after the ATFR. For Josh and Andi, the real world (for the most part) began the moment they both got back to Atlanta. While they couldn't be in public together, for almost three months they were living together and were with each other everyday. They're way ahead in many different aspects when compared to other couples from this show.

It's pretty awesome knowing that.

Yes I did want them kicked out of the theatre.    

Kidding!   

Alanna you always make me laugh.

Aww! You both are so kind and sweet. Thank you!! I love all your posts too, of course! I'm also lucky this show and my obsession with it provides never-ending material

I think PDA is not the be all / end all metric as to the stregth of a couple and as far as this couple is concerned I think there's something more visceral. I think we all have (or have had) a dream of what we would like to find in a partner for life but we don't always find it, and sometimes when we do the dream isn't mutual. But what if we found that our "dream" match was someone who had always dreamed of finding someone just like us as their dream match? That's so addictive (to borrow one of Catherine's words describing her feelings for Sean) and I just don't see that going away. If it was ever going to it would have done so before now.

Nannymargie:

You and I think alike. When I saw those pictures I thought the same thing

During the show I have had so many of these rumblings going on in my stomach just by something said or a picture or a remark by MM that was truly very innocent but the pessimist in me took it the wrong way. Being supported by all of the great JODI fans has helped me with this. So when I saw the pics with no hand holding or big smiles my immediate thought was the same as yours, but knowing that they are both committed and the change in Andi and how Josh is so in love that feeling of anxiety only lasted a minute.

This group is here for everybody. We laugh, snark a little bit now and then, get like giggly school girls when we see a picture or a video, disagree sometimes but we're all one big happy family with only one hope in mind and that's the happiness of our JODI.

Sorry, getting a little carried away this morning.

[nannymargie]

Thank you Laura, I am glad to see I was not alone. It was just so out of the ordinary for them not to be at least holding hands. But then last nite we got the pic of Andi and Sable and I felt better.

Of course that was the wed before his BD surprise to I am sure Andi had a lot of things going thru her mind.

[jlccaz]

This is getting to be the point in the season where the Happy Couple deserves some space to live a "normal" life, without people on the internet commenting on their PDA. It's sosososo weird to me. One wouldn't even apply that level of scrutiny to one's closest friends or family. It creeps me out! There I said it.

This is a super cute, super happy couple. Probably one of the best to come out of this crappy franchise, certainly in the seven years I've watched it. I would not waste 1 minute of my time analyzing PDA in a still photo. Would probably do the Ice Challenge for ALS instead.

[pander3575]

I'd like to add one other thing about holding hands in the park. Do you know how hot and sweaty it is in Atlanta? I sure wouldn't want to be out walking and holding hands.

Agree with you, jlccaz!
