The show might be called Love Is Blind, but, for contestant Matt Barnett, a more fitting title would have been Love Is Confusing. Throughout the first three episodes of Season 1, Barnett struggled with his feelings for three women — Jessica Batten, Amber Pike, and Lauren Chamblin (known as LC), as noted by Entertainment Weekly. And, as viewers saw, Barnett's initial inability to make a decision led to more than a few awkward conversations.
During one pod date with Batten on Netflix's Love Is Blind, Barnett mentioned wanting to propose to her, subsequently causing Batten to consider putting her budding relationship with Mark Cuevas on the back-burner. However, during their following pod date, Barnett confessed he wasn't planning to propose to Batten after all.
Not only was it awkward to watch Batten realize Barnett didn't feel as strongly for her as she did for him, but it was even more uncomfortable to watch Batten drunkenly confront Barnett's frontrunner (and future fiancée) Pike, telling her, "I'm just telling you, he's a f***boy. I just walked out on him." Needless to say, the conversation that followed was totally cringeworthy.
