I really like that Olena is making her needs met clearly too.
I REALLY like that she’s making clear boundaries.

Have you ever heard of the term choking? I think she just choked

It's so obvious to me IMO that Richie would have chosen Olena if she opened up to him completely. He asked her questions that were deep that he never asked nikki or Alex. He really loves her IMO

Richie saying that he worries that how difficult things are already with Olena and how much he has worked for it that if he chose her they wouldn't last

IA with Richie and felt that from the getgo.

I don't buy any of Olena's "reasons" ....

Olena seems really off him. I don't see how he could keep her around.
I think Nikki will take this out. Alex and the child issues make her not an option.

I think after tonight that Alex actually has it. I would never have picked it a month ago. But she does fit that 'little bit lady, little bit bogan' description he used to describe his ideal woman.

Olena is absolutely out tonight. Didn't sound like he needed to think about it - I know exactly what I need to do tonight.

Definitely throwing nothing but doubt for Olena!!

My impression of Richie and Nikki's date was Richie double checking that Nikki would join him in his fun activities. The 2nd part of the date I thought was beautiful with him organising a blessing for them - to me that was a sign he wanted to bless their future. It was very personal and very spiritual. My only concern is that he already knows he can have a life with Nikki so will need to really dig into the others and perhaps uncover come thing more that will sway him.

Yes I think she has decided she does not love him yet and is not giving anymore and Richie has got nowhere to go so I agree this could be a mutual decision.
Agreed Alex is a little bit bogan and a lady!

I think Olena is just convinced by her family that it won't work, the he isn't worth it because he didn't make a good impression. Nothing wrong with listening to your parents' opinions. They're usually right! Ive never loved Olena so much. She's being so realistic and honest

I don't see it at all from Richie saying himself that he questioned himself if he was just intrigued by her

Also, him saying that he doesn't think it would last if he picked her already tells me that Richie may have enjoyed the intrigue for a bit but it was getting old fast

I don't see him in love with Olena at all. Just annoyed at this point as I would be since her excuses are the same since day one. Nothing progressed, imo.

I loved the bit with Nikki where they talked about choosing the easy option and that he wouldn't do that but would choose love - easy or hard first.

What the? What's happening. Frustration
