I agree with this! Mel to a tee! I just know personally if I had liked a guy for years then became single and healed from the prior relationship (Shane) I would like to give it a shot? Instead she started dating other YouTubers and then decided 2/3 years later Thomas was worth a look which coincided with him training to be a pilot.
@Mamabear29 summed it up "she made do" in order to have the marriage, baby and house.
Off topic but I watched this video last night on Jessie's Channel- Breakups, flirting and more Q&A (Timestamp :12.29)-
Melanie and Jess were both seeing the same guy at the same time and fighting over him. I just find that plain disturbing? I couldn't imagine dating a guy the same time as my sister?!! I wouldn't even go near a guy my sister had feelings for/flirted with? Icky.
In the same video @9.35 Melanie says the only friend she ever matched with on tinder was her current boyfriend(Thomas) but that it was "ages before they hooked up" so you match with the guy you claim to have fancied for years but don't act on it?? Ok.
