Bachelorette Clare Crawley and Dale Moss’ Split Is ‘Super Embarrassing’ for Her: ‘She Gave It All Up’

Who watched Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette? Did you think that the beautiful Clare Crawley and the handsome, former football player Dale Moss would have lasted longer? 

According to sources, the couple broke things off because they were dating from a distance. Dale lives in New York City, while Clare lives in Sacramento, California. This made their relationship difficult. Once Clare met Dale on The Bachelorette, it was love at first sight.

"I definitely felt like I just met my husband. When Dale stepped out of the limo, it took my breath away," stated Clare. Due to the instant connection she felt with Dale, she did not find it necessary to prolong the rest of the show or to give the other guys a chance.

Clare also admitted to checking out the men's Instagram content before the airing of the show. Clare was impressed with Dale, based on the content he shared on his social media accounts.

It seems that Clare and Dale were a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, the beautiful relationship that was blossoming on the TV screen had to come to an abrupt end. Was it bad luck? Perhaps these two just weren't meant to be together.

Fans of the show stated that Clare should have gone through with the process of the show to get to know the other guys. Others felt that Clare placed too much pressure on Dale to propose, which ultimately led to their breakup.

My thoughts. I had to admit, I was rooting for this couple and hoping they would prove their haters wrong. It was obvious that when Dale first got out of that limo, he and Clare had some kind of special connection and vibe. I don't believe their relationship was completely fake. I thought they would have lasted for much longer, considering how smitten they were with each other on camera.

Some people do fall in love at first sight, get married, and have a great life together. Unfortunately, this does not happen to everyone.  I have sympathy for Clare and I'm confident that she will eventually find love, off-camera.

PSA: Men Treat You Well If They Actually Want You

Single ladies looking for a serious relationship will often wonder if they're with the right man. Are you the special woman he sees as wife material or as a no-strings-attached person he's dating just to pass the time? 

If your guy is going out of his way to buy you gifts, take you on luxurious vacations and expensive dates, he could want a serious relationship with you. Respectable men don't go out of their way to share their wealth with a woman they don't have strong feelings for. 

Why should you stay in a relationship if he's mistreating you? Do not hesitate to end the relationship if the guy you're with is unbearable or  too dysfunctional. 

If he's not smart enough to respect you, then he does not deserve to have you in his life.

The way a man treats you from the start of the relationship is a clear sign that he could be Mr. Right. He will do the right things to impress you and to show that he loves you, has romantic feelings for you, and could want you for a wife.  

If you're not a good judge of character and still want confirmation, take him to meet your friends and family members. They won't be afraid to judge him and ask tough questions to determine if he's playing around. 

Bachelorette Clare Crawley and Dale Get Engaged - The Bachelorette

Did Dale Moss just propose to Clare Crawley after only a few days of knowing each other? I figured they would end up together, but not at this rapid pace.  I can't blame Clare for falling head over heels in love with Dale. He's gorgeous, kind, strong, and has a variety of other qualities that she's looking for in a husband. I also remember Clare saying that Dale reminds her of her father because they have similar characteristics. So, no wonder she felt a strong connection with Dale from the very beginning.

Beautiful Clare Crawley has blown up The Bachelorette. Clare and Dale's relationship blossomed so quickly on camera. I don't think this has ever happened before with the history of The Bachelorette. I also understand that it's up to Clare to decide if she should continue with the process of the show or to cut it short if she strongly feels that she has a strong vibe with Dale.

Fans of the show were also displeased with the way Clare treated the other contestants on the show. Clare gave most of her attention to Dale as if he was the prize! But you know what, this was her season, so she had the right to spend quality time with the person she felt was most suitable for her.

Fingers crossed for Clare.

Is it Love at First Sight for Clare and Dale? The Bachelorette

Is it love at first sight for Clare and Dale on The Bachelorette? "When Dale stepped out of the Limo, it took my breath away," stated the bachelorette, Clare Crawley.

It's been so long since I've watched The Bachelorette, but I had to tune in for Clare's season. I watched the promo trailer and I felt this season would be a good one.

The first thing I noticed when Clare met Dale was how her face lit up like a Christmas tree. Her demeanor seemed to change and her eyes sparkled when they met. She almost followed him inside after their initial introductions and then began to shake from their dramatic interaction. This was such a beautiful moment and it seemed very genuine. Clare also admitted that she looked at the guys' social media profiles before the airing of the show. So, perhaps this would explain her excitement seeing Dale in person. She was so blown away, thinking that she'd finally met her husband. 

I feel Clare is smitten with Dale's good looks, charisma, great personality, and presence. He's probably one of the cutest contestants I've seen on the show. Tall, dark, and handsome, and seems like a great catch. But is he husband material for Clare? What are his intentions for being on the show?

I'm hoping the feeling that she has for Dale is not infatuation and that Dale is on the show to find love. In the past, I've seen too many contestants on these reality shows chasing fame, misleading women, and not having a happily-ever-after. There's no doubt that Clare is on the show to find love. So, I hope none of the contestants are wasting her time or leading her on.  I'm rooting for Clare and I hope that she ends up with the right guy. This is a season that I'm definitely going to watch in its entirety. 

Are you  hoping Dale and Clare are a match made in heaven? Every woman deserves to be swooped off her feet and treated like a princess. I hear all the time about people falling in love from the moment they meet, so maybe the same will be for Clare and Dale.

What are Some Signs That a Shy Guy Likes You?

What are some signs that a shy guy likes you? Do you know a cute guy that can't seem to stop staring at you? A shy guy might be intimidated by your beauty and lack the social skills to communicate his feelings with you. Besides, he will be too fearful to risk getting a rejection from you. He could be sending you subtle signals that you're not aware of. 

A shy guy is not going to come straight out and reveal his feelings to you. You could be waiting forever for him to ask you for your phone number. Remember, these guys are not aggressive, so it's up to you to figure things out. 

Here are some signs that a shy guy likes you.

He Looks Away

Shy guys are uncomfortable making eye contact. So, if you try to make eye contact with him, he will quickly look away. He will also look nervous or seem embarrassed that you caught him staring at you. This is a sign that he likes you, but too uncomfortable to approach you. Shy guys are unable to work up the courage to look women they find attractive straight in the eyes.

He'll do anything to avoid your direct gaze. A shy guy will usually focus on something besides looking at you. He might take a sudden interest in checking his phone, speaking to another person, or even look at another woman. 

He Stares From a Distance

Shy guys have a natural fear of approaching women, so they will stare from a distance. This is a way for them to feel less self-conscious and to feel comfortable admiring you from afar. The guy staring at you could be a decent guy who likes you, but he could also be a creep. For this reason, you should be aware of your surroundings whether you're at college, work, shopping mall, bar, or other places. 

  Does he keep staring at you or following you? If this is your situation, you'll need to think about contacting the authorities just to be on the safe side. If the creepy guy keeps following you, don't hesitate to call for help. A shy guy liking you can be extremely frustrating because you're not sure if he's completely harmless or has malicious intentions. Follow the right safety measures when you're out and about.

He'll Blush

Do you see a pink flush on his cheeks? He's quick to blush like a teenager when he likes you. If you try talking to him, blushing will be his normal reaction. Pay attention to his body language when you're talking to him. It's hard for him to hide his attraction to you and he will act clumsy or blush when you're around him.

Learn How to Know if He's Smitten With You

There's so much male psychology that women should learn about. At some point in your life, you may have to deal with a shy guy and will need to know how to react to the situation. If you're attracted to a shy guy, try being polite and striking up a conversation. He might smile at you when you're talking to him. This means he likes you and may have an interest in dating you.

A timid guy is verbally challenged. So, you should try to be understanding and give him time to ask you out.

Midnight Lord by Marlene Suson is the second of her Midnight Trilogy. The setting of this historical romance is 1741, Virginia Frontier. The story begins with Stephen Wingate, Lord Arlington trying to escape his pursuers. Stephen had endured all the cruelty that fate offered him.
