This week, Boston Bachelor contestant Caila told Ben he can’t make her vulnerable, no sir
Presenting Caila Quinn’s Bachelor quote of the week.
Much to every other one of Ben’s girlfriends’ despair, Boston contestant Caila Quinn had another one-on-one date on The Bachelor Monday night. She and Ben spent the day jumping off a boat in the Bahamas, followed by an evening of awkward couple-y banter over dinner.
“So you smile a lot, I’ve noticed that about you,’’ incredibly observant Ben said whilst taking a sip of his red wine. “I think in a relationship I’m looking for somebody who will come back and cry with me because I’ll cry with them.’’
And here’s Caila, defending her inability to be “vulnerable’’:
You are doing everything you possibly can to make me open up. But right now, I feel like I love you. But I don’t know why I can’t share. Maybe it’s just that I’m not ready. I feel like my greatest fear is that I can’t totally, completely fall in love with somebody. Part of me is afraid because your greatest fear is being unlovable, and my greatest fear might be breaking your heart. It doesn’t feel right. It feels like I’m going to hurt you.
Spoiler: As ominous (or confusing?) as that sounds, Caila doesn’t go home. Maybe he was won over by her smiling. He seems to notice she does that.
