IA with this. He must have been overwhelmed, and I think nervous. Once we are down to F6/F8 I think/hope we'll get to see more of the real Chris falling in love.

Saying you're a Christian and living a Christian life are not always synonymous. If Chris is a man of faith, I'm dissapointed that he hasn't mentioned it at least. Or maybe ABC doesn't want him to.

Based on prior seasons, the producers do not want to show deep discussions regarding important beliefs. Sean really forced the issue but I don't think he got to talk about it as much as he would have liked to. (or at least it wasn't shown.)
We don't know for sure what Chris's beliefs are. They have not allowed us to see what they are. 

Again, we are VERY early in the season. The first night is always a blur. The 2nd date (week) had him dating a 21 year old who believes in aliens(or wants to know if Chris does) and a girl with a boyfriend at home. If you watch the Grand Canyon date, SHE moves his hand to her thigh and pushes the intimacy. 

I think his biggest problem is that he is TOO nice and doesn't tell the women to stop, from the belly ring rubbing, to saying that since Mackenzie has a child she could be a good wife, to not calling out Ashley for being flat out crazy or drunk. He could say that a 21 year old is too young to have a baby(and leave him at home while she is on TV) and that rubbing the belly ring isn't all that appropriate or that maybe Ashley isn't in the right situation and send her home but he goes along so that he doesn't hurt their feelings. The idea of being too nice can be perceived as weakness. It's sort of sad that being nice is seen as a personality deficiency: I've experienced this myself in the workplace where management thinks kindness isn't a good management style. But, trust me, the idea of catching more flies with honey than vinegar works--almost always. :Nod:  


He's getting some attention that he isn't used to getting in this process. The man was engaged for some time and says that there are very few women in his area. No question he is enjoying this new smorgasbord of women. I want him to settle down and stop kissing everyone(I don't think the Jade on the bed incident was his best choice.) and concentrate on finding a woman who is compatible to his lifestyle and personality.  I hope has told his F1 that there is a lot of kissing going on and that in the future the only person he is kissing is her.
