So this may be a controversial opinion but I think Nick is very controlling and that is why he likes Danielle - she’s indecisive and doubts herself so he can step in and tell her what the right thing to do/think is, basically what he does or thinks.
He has controlling traits and a need for order - the OCD, the making his own toothpaste and shower products, the showering twice a day.
She’s definitely not ready for any sort of relationship, but he is the opposite of the man she should choose. I believe he phrased things the way she describes because she holds onto nuggets of the conversation so he’s gaslighting her a bit by suggesting he didn’t say them. Perhaps they were taken out of context but that’s a different conversation.
I think Nick’s family are clearly horrible and don’t like him much. I can’t believe he’s had many relationships. My bf thinks he’s in the closet. I don’t like the fact he’s such a shit stirrer either.
Similarly, couldn’t stand Danielle’s mother - you can tell it’s all about her and that’s probably one of the reasons she’s grown up as she has.
My guesses are:
Danielle and Nick - (she says yes, he says no);
Mallory and Sal - (she says no, he says yes);
Natalie and Shayne (they both say yes);
Iyanna and Jarette (unsure, I think she may say no and he says yes);
Deepti and Shake (she says yes, he says no).
I think Shake is despicable telling anyone who’ll listen that he’s not attracted to her without raising it with her (until late on). Plus the whole Auntie thing. I don’t think he’s changed and he’ll want to end up with a petite blond girl.
