I heard him say that he loved both girls (that's what I remember -anyway) BUT he  only told Lyndsey that she keeps him up at night and she scares him. He said this to her twice (on 2 different episodes) During the last episode, Lyndsey reassured him (again) that she will help him go back to sleep and she'll show him that she's not scary.

So for me, he wants her bad but boy is he scared.

The viewer is watching love play out on a scripted television show. We are shown what the producers want us to see. Going by what we have been shown some people see Chris being more attracted to Mikaela than Lydnsey. I agree from what I have seen I am in the Lyndsey camp asher being the F1.

And plus, Chris has only voiced his love for one woman. And that woman is Lyndsey.

I agree, we are only seeing what the editors want us to see and how to see it.  Our job as viewers and sleuthers are to read between the lines, IMO and what is there is that He only said love with regards to Lyndsey.  With Mikaela, he said that he didn't know if he could fall in love.  IMO, the edit was pretty clear.....Mikaela set up the ending IMO that she didn't know if he could find love for her in time.  She didn't know if there was enough time left.  IMO, that's pretty clear that even she is noticing that he's more into Lyndsey than herself.

Re: the bold. You are totally right. Great pick up!

so for me he is at a crossroad. and that is why he is struggling so much between lindsey and mike. one represent his past and the youth he never had and mike represent his present and future.

i like him. but he was never ready for this show when he did it. he needed to settle down and make the transition after baseball first

Of all the posts that go back and forth on who is F1, this post makes the most sense to me
Either of these girls should think long and hard about where Chris is in his life - he doesn't know what he wants to do and when Mik asked him what he was passionate about, he said being around positive people! I agree with HEA that Lyndsey represents the fun he missed out on when he was younger and that is why we see him so free with her. Mik represents what he should be searching for but something is missing ... and that something resides within Chris.

I think the best outcome for all 3 is that they find some way to remain friendly but go their separate ways. Lyndsey off to more adventures, Mikaela to find someone who treasures her for who she is and Chris to figure out what in life he truly wants and what he is passionate about. I have no doubt that this process has been therapeutic for Chris but just not long enough for him to break down his walls. Had he been a contestant on a bachelorette season and then went on to be the lead, I would trust his decision-making and willingness to open up a lot more than I do from the few weeks he's been the lead.

I only remember him saying he was ... falling in love ... with both girls ... like a said in a post last night ... every lead seems required to say that and it means diddly squat IMO.  He’s said he’s in love with Lindsey though, then reiterated and said .. I love her  .... that’s the only mention of love that I think has any true significance
