I don't think that he has resolved his feelings for Angela. My best guess is that Clay is very slow and guarded when it comes to love. A woman who needs a speedy declaration or proposal is not going to work for him. Probably the Bach environment is not the best for him. I think he would be better served by dating a woman who lives in his locale and who has a lot of patience.

IMO, he had that with Angela.  They were introduced and were dating for awhile before they ever came out in public.  I remember him responding to an IG Q&A once that he was seeing someone but was keeping it quiet for the time being as they were just getting to know one another.  From little bits and pieces of things said by others, I think they were introduced to each other sometime last July but didn't announce the relationship until September 5 (found it on both their IG pages).  Her last photo with him was beginning of February and his was end of January.  I followed both of them back then... I liked them together. There were still a few IG stories throughout Feb but they were getting fewer and fewer. Someone on reddit saw him in mid-March and asked about them and he said they were no longer together.  They both say 8 months... depending on dates, July to Feb/March is 8 months.

I am one that tends to believe that sometime last winter is when his return to the NFL dreams were shot down completely and he went into a dark space that can happen when dreams are crushed. Angela stood beside him in those dreams (and was willing to move to wherever he needed to be) so IMO she was a reminder of those dreams so he cut her loose.  I hope they both can find someone for them. Poor Angela though... she is always brought on at the tail end of BIP with absolutely no chance of making a connection!

How many of these BN girls would have waited a couple of months to make the announcement they were dating someone from BN when not involved with an actual show being aired? Not too many. That shows me a lot about Angela.  She was not in the relationship for fame but love.  The fame was a bonus that came later.

I do agree that he has unresolved feeling for Angela however, I don't think anything will ever come of them being together again. Too bad because they were gorgeous together!

IMO

What is Clay's issue? He is so caught up in a medieval double standard where Angela cannot go on dates but he can certainly, in his words (paraphrased), continue to try to develop his relationships with Nicole. He's whining and off base and I tired and bored of listening to his schtick.
