Love Is Blind: Sweden (Love is Blind: Sverige)

PREVIOUSLY

I'm not perfect. So if you choose me, you're choosing an imperfect man.

But I'm so in love with you.

It's crazy, because I feel like I know you.

- I'm down on my knee. - Will you marry me?

I mean, this is definitely the most obvious yes in my whole life.

Let's go!

Yes! Of course I want to!

Oh my God.

Is it true?

Thank you for seeing me.

It's okay.

Would you make me the happiest man in the world?

Yeah. I do.

So…

- You're so beautiful. It's incredible. - Thank you.

- Shit. - Oh. There's lipstick.

I don't care. Just hug me again. I want a hug.

But wait. One thing… You should read this note.

"You are amazing. I love you."

I've promised myself that if I meet a guy that love-bombs me,

I'll back off, because it seems fake to me.

- You have a great view. - I know.

But I have a better view. You're such an amazing woman,

the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Your positivity is beaming.

- That made me panic. "I love you…" - Love-bombing. Okay, I get it.

- Love-bombing. Exactly. You get it. - I get it.

I was sad I didn't get to spend any time with you.

- For next time. - Mm.

You're gonna be really tired. You're gonna be tired and boring.

You need to show me your best self.

What? "Need to"? What kind of test is this?

It is a test.

She's got all of the qualities that I think I need in a partner.

But I don't know if I have all the qualities that she needs in a partner.

There's a lot more stuff you've got to navigate

than when we were dating in the pods.

She has a strong will and strong opinions.

You feel like, "This is gonna be a problem."

Yeah. Yeah.

- Lipstick, please. - Yeah? You want more?

- No, I want kisses. I don't want lipstick. - You want lipstick.

I want kisses.

Daniel and Johanna are very physical with each other and they show it.

I need attention. Physically, I mean.

That's extremely important to me.

I'll keep that in mind.

I just need to find, well, our way.

And move forward at a slower pace.

I used to grow flowers with my dad when I was a kid…

You know, you can pick sunflowers at the golf course where I play golf.

I feel really distant from Daniel.

I'm very lovey-dovey when my partner sees me and hears me.

But I don't if they don't.

Off to the bathroom.

Could I talk to you for two seconds?

Right before you guys came to get us, Daniel sat me down and said,

"Johanna, I don't know, I think I wanna quit."

And I'm like, "Quit?"

I feel stupid. Oh boy, is he having the best time now,

right before he wants to quit?

CORFU, GREECE

- How are you doing? Are you okay? - I'm good.

Tasty.

I can't taste the shrimp. It doesn't taste like anything.

No.

- Just crispy. - Mm-hmm.

- Super tasty. - Mm.

That's it.

It is.

You can't appreciate the good if the bad's not there.

That's good.

So, we had a conversation earlier. And I am concerned.

I mean, we're here together… You shouldn't so easily just want to leave.

I mean, it's like I said, I have so many thoughts about this, and…

And of course I start to get worried when we're kissing,

and you're like, "don't steal my lipstick," over and over.

It doesn't make me feel so good.

That's when I feel like, "Maybe she's backing out."

- So that's why, okay? - Yeah, okay.

That's it. My head's spinning.

Yeah. It's like, "Damn, I can't have a kiss because you're wearing lipstick."

Then I'm like, "Shit, what's going on here?"

So I get worried and I have knots in my stomach.

Like I noticed you were stressed… and with the kissing and that, like…

"Don't take my…"

But I never say "don't take my…"

- I'm kidding. - I know you're joking. I know full well.

I'd never say "don't touch me" or--

- I know. But sometimes… - That's not who I am.

I say, "Oh, here he comes for more lipstick again."

Yeah, I know…

- It's a joke… - Of course.

…because every time you kiss me, I lose lipstick.

At a certain point it starts to feel like…

"Does she want to kiss me? Is she actually…"

Maybe we just communicate differently.

Maybe so.

It's been hard to bring up important subjects.

Our conversations are like, "What's the weather?" "What should we wear?"

You know?

Do you feel like this is how you want to live the rest of your life?

Talking about the weather?

I can talk to my neighbors about that.

- Yeah. Right. - We can talk about the weather, or we can…

I might even get deeper with my neighbor, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I do.

My partner should know everything that's going on.

It's also important that he wants to know.

Because when I throw him a line I invite him to take it.

I do it to see if you'll open up and listen.

Otherwise there's no reason for me to talk

if the other person doesn't want to hear it.

Right.

There's no limit to my interest. I want to know everything.

But I think… I mean, for me, when I cast something out,

it's to see if you're listening.

If I get things like, "What? And then what happened? Why is that? What?"

- Then I'm like, "Ah, I got his attention." - Yeah, I get it.

- And then I will keep on feeding. - Yeah. I see.

But if I don't get it, I shut down.

- Then the wall comes up. - I see.

- I get it. - And that's where I feel like we have to…

If we're gonna make it to the day where we stand there and say "yes" to each other,

I feel like we have to be able to have these conversations.

Because I want you to know me

and everything that goes on behind those walls.

But it's hard to get there if you feel like somebody's not interested

in hearing your truths and desires.

My interest is very real and you have no idea how…

What you've said, I take to heart. I really do.

I mean, I appreciate it.

I want to know everything. I got engaged to you for a reason.

There's so much I don't know about you and I want to find it out. So… Yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna make mistakes. I suppose I'll always be making mistakes.

Yeah, but that isn't something that I expect…

- No? - …that you know all about me

- and what I need. - No.

I will also make many mistakes.

Just like this whole thing with the lipstick. I make mistakes too. I mess up.

- You'll get all the lipstick kisses. - No. No.

- You'll have lipstick all over. - I know…

You'll walk around with it. I won't care what it looks like.

And I'm just like, "I've got red lip marks all over my face. It's your fault."

"He wanted kisses. It's not my fault. He told me to do it. He wanted it all."

Yeah, no, it's just… I'll try to get the timing right for my urge to kiss.

But I love kissing you.

I mean, damn.

I feel good. I feel we've agreed on some things.

- It feels pretty good actually. - Mm-hmm. That's good.

- I hope it helped you. - Mm-hmm. Definitely.

- It did? - Mm-hmm.

I know I said back in the pods that I wanted someone who'd be demanding of me.

And the smallest thing would be something like,

"You could at least listen when I want to tell you something."

So yeah, I got what I asked for.

So I'll be improving my listening skills.

Now it's us. Now it's Team Fjäll-Storm. That brings it home.

I've never been more sure that you're quite possibly the right one for me.

You should know.

Is the glass half empty or half full right now?

Half full.

I've learned that from you.

Never say "half empty" to you.

"You're a negative Nancy if you say that."

"Don't ever talk about half empty glasses. Talk about half full ones."

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- To life. - Life is half full.

That's it.

SWEDEN

32 DAYS UNTIL THE WEDDINGS

You'll get sick.

As long as I'm kissed by you I don't really care.

Even if you're super sick when we get back to Stockholm?

- No. - No?

Getting to know you and being intimate…

That's not how to get to know me, though.

Yeah. That's how I express love.

- Through something like a kiss. - Yeah?

Maybe you're different.

I'm usually good at reading people.

YOUTH COUNSELOR

She's not so easy.

I'm going to start with some of this coffee,

because I'm just feeling like I really need it.

Yeah.

Like yesterday…

She had said a few things that made me…

Well, it was hard for me to read her. Where is it going?

How are you after yesterday?

Um… I thought yesterday felt good.

It was nice to have a day together where we weren't hashing anything out

and it wasn't too serious.

And it did feel a lot like the pods,

where we had a lot of laughs and we joked around. And that felt great.

- Well, that's a relief. - Mm.

Because I felt kind of like you were taking a few steps back
