This is going nowhere.

She keeps, you know, moving the mole that he has to whack until finally he's like,

okay, well, truthfully, you've been a little clingy.

Dun, done, do.

Dear Shandy.

Welcome back to another Dear Shandy, love is blind recap listeners. Hello, Andy. Hello. How are you today? Doing good. I'm good. Thank you. So today we are covering episode seven through nine of Love is Blind. Do we have any housekeeping before we get going? Isn't that amazing how fast you get to episode nine with Netflix? Yeah, when it's not paced out once a week, like on The Bachelor. Yeah. It turns out you have no restraint when they just give them to you all at once. It's just gorge. Yeah. Okay, so we'll start off with Amy and Johnny going all the way back to the Dominican Republic. I mean, these two are so peaceful. Nothing to see here. Yeah, it's very easy going. She says her love grows for him every day.

Even the physical, which she admits she wasn't sure about. I love that she could say this to his

face. He didn't get offended. Yeah. You know? Oh, yeah. Can you imagine if Jimmy had said that to Chelsea?

She says everything's perfect. They're almost nervous at how perfect things are. They're almost

willing a fight to happen to see what goes down. Later in the pool, I thought this was

with noting when talking families, she reveals a lesson she has learned is oversharing with

her parents. And then they involve themselves too much in her last relationship. This happened.

They're overprotective. And she says in general, she's easily influenced. I think this goes for a lot of

people. I wrote this down because I found this super relatable. I feel like a lot of people,

and especially young women, in terms of dating and relationships, there comes a point where they're like,

oh, actually telling my parents about that fight I had last night or whatever is not really going to

benefit me long term. Well, you have to come to a point as an adult where you say, I trust myself.

Yes. You need to accept that. Or you need to say, you know what? My parents are always right and I don't know what I'm doing and I'm a mess. Yeah. And you just want to be led. Yeah, but that's, that's very rare. Usually as an adult, you have to trust yourself. Yeah. I really loved the self awareness of this and also how she could say I'm really easily influenced. I relate to this very, very deeply what she said here. And I think, you know, obviously the first step is knowing this about yourself. I think a lot of people don't realize that they're easily influenced when they are. So, yeah. This made me like Amy even more. I didn't think it was possible. Some foreshadowing here when she says if she doesn't get her dad's blessing, she's not sure she can move forward. Damn. In Charlotte, North Carolina,

Johnny visits Amy's place. This is really funny. He's like, wait, you're a crystal girl.

And she's like, yeah. And he's like, oh, no. You know what's great? Is the honesty here?

He generally was upset. She was a crystal girl. I totally get it. Yeah. And she was also completely unapologetic for being a crystal girl. Unapologetic, but also self-aware that she's a crystal girl. Yeah, yeah. Like she understands that it is funny in a way. These little exchanges between the two of them, to me, really show the foundation of something

that can work. Yes. To be able to poke fun at someone and not worry that they're going to take it
