Yes, I think that is why he was getting his hair trimmed.He wants to make a good impression.

It's not going to help. He's going to have to try a whole lot harder than that!

Two cutlery sets in Arie's IG. They could have met up after the WTA.

Or the other set is for his handler ? Just a guess!

That's what I was thinking, @GuardianAngel.

Both posted food on their IG stories about an hour apart. Lauren looks like she is dining near the ocean. Two sets of silverware.

Also Lauren's insta pic of them on bikes yesterday, and her hashtag #febuariejoonya showing support before the WTA taping?

I've been trying to figure it out, but apparently my brain just isn't working. What is #febuariejoonya? I get the Arie part, but joonya?

Jr - joonya maybe with an Italian accent?

Now, I get it. It was driving me crazy.

My first date of the week was with Becca K. From the beginning, I was attracted to her beauty, humility, and kindness. I always knew she’d make a great wife and mother. We had such a strong start on our first date — my first date of this whole journey — but so much had happened since then. Finding a wife isn’t just about finding someone who would be a great on paper, it’s about love and chemistry. Going into the date, I knew that we needed this time to reconnect and see if we could rekindle our early passion. wrote:

The more I spent time with Lauren, the stronger I felt about her. At this point, though, I still had no idea how she felt about me. Yes, we had an amazing day shopping (one of the highlights was trying on hats and aprons), playing soccer with local kids, and climbing the tower in the center of town, but I still had so many questions. Was she ready for a hometown? Was she falling for me too? That night we had dinner at Villa Grabau, a beautiful historic estate outside of Lucca. I hadn’t been this nervous for a date in a long time. The stakes felt so high. Throughout the whole journey, I tried to think logically. I’d constantly ask myself: Do our lives fit together? Could she move to Scottsdale? Is she ready for marriage? With Lauren, it was never about those things. I couldn’t logically explain any of my feelings. I didn’t know why I felt so strongly, I just did. And I know excusing myself during dinner looks crazy. It felt crazy at the time, but when Lauren told me she was falling in love with me, I was overwhelmed. In that moment, I knew I felt the same way but needed to take a moment before I could properly express myself. I hadn’t felt like this about someone since Emily [Maynard]. This feeling was the reason I came back on the show. Even if I couldn’t quite explain why, I was falling in love with Lauren and needed to give her a rose. Now, with two of the four hometowns decided, I felt more hopeful than ever. wrote:

It's eerie to me. I had said right after finding out about the switch that I thought Becca was the good wife on paper and Lauren was the one he had passion for.

Well, he certainly is trying his hardest to soften the blow for the upcoming Mesnick. Downplaying Becca and building up the connection between him and Lauren. And even mentions Emily.
