Brilliant! I once had a dream that I was one of the producers and I was going around yelling at the contestants that there needed to be a lot more kissing. I was making everyone kiss everyone - all combinations!

Not sure what that says about me

I am so on the Love Story journey with you.  I've re watched their full date as well as the shortened version of their date on TenPlay an embarrassing number of times and get heart feels each time.  I also think there is a sense of peace when they are together and their body mirroring is amazing - they want to stay connected all the time (touch, space, eyes).  My favourite favourite moment is after Nikki tells Richie he will have all of her and Richie takes a big deep breath and smiles at her before telling her what they have is real.  For me it was like he was so excited and relieved to hear that and everything felt centred from there :sweetheart:

Like Richie said, I think Nikki and Richie could be a "perfect match" for each other. There's such and ease about them and like Richie said, Nikki brings out the best in Richie.

One of the things I loved about this date was the theme being country and Nikki being a country girl which is exactly who Richie is. He himself said last year in a Q&A video when asked what does he prefer "city or country" and Richie said "definitely the country!"

There was a moment in his date with Nikki that I saw Richie totally begin to fall in love. He looked blissfully happy like he was on cloud nine and couldn't believe that he was so lucky. It made me tear up to see Richie that happy.

One thing that stood out to me is that Richie talks in "we" form when talking to Nikki, like they are a couple already and he sees her and him as a unit. He also says that what they have is real (second time he has said that) and that Nikki is 100% genuine - something that he is looking for the most in a life partner and something Richie himself is.

I also noticed that both Richie and Nikki are doing pickup ITMs (so filmed later on and look like they may be filmed after the show ended or near the end) and this is usually a sign to me of someone maybe being F1 (Snez had the same thing and had a different ITM background from the other girls, same as Sash)

From the moment Nikki was the first one out the limo, to the first date, to the first kiss, and now to their second date all I can say is I was hopeful that I would get to watch a lovestory and to me that is exactly what I am seeing - a lovestory between these two.
