Bachelor Reaction

I know we rag on the Bachelor a lot for being kind of contrived or fake or highly edited or whatever it is. But I think one thing that they get really right is they know how to create instant connection between people, and it's trying new things. They put people in situations where they're doing something brand new. It's not like Zach is sitting in the house just watching Netflix on his date with whomever he's on the date with. Like, they're out skydiving, they're out snorkeling. Like, they're literally pushing them to do things that they've never done before. Because the secret is that actually creates a lot of connection. Now, in the Bachelor's case, the problem is they create all this instant, palpable connection between people. They don't have any other connection. They don't have any basis, you know, of being connected before that. So it doesn't always last. But if you're looking to. To fire up connection in your long term relationship, try new things now. It doesn't have to be as exotic as what they do in the Bachelor. It can be like trying something new in your neighborhood. It can be trying something new at home. But the same idea applies. Just do things that you haven't done before together, because it'll fire up that connection.
