People don’t realize it can be extremely hard to say “I love you” between men but especially when it’s your stepdad. This was a huge breakthrough for them and we got to see it.

Michelle and Charles bring out the best in Nayte

[@keearata]

Thank you well said

[@lili-jv9ku]

This is more real and beautiful than any bachelor nations proposal

[@elsabewilliams9439]

This conversation bring tears in my eyes the way he talk to his stepdad

[@lowusua2416]

This is very sweet and such an important breakthrough for Nayte. He's falling in love and it's opening him up emotionally in all aspects. The right relationship actually can help do that. I have no idea whether he and Michelle will work out long term but she's pushed him to grow and that's a beautiful thing. And the way she describes what she sees in him is different than the other man. She described intellectual conversation, playfulness- an adult relationship.

🥲🥲 felt it so much for Nayte. Having not grown up in a family, where no expressions of Love or having no personal conversations are held it is hard for a young man. What or who is there to emulate. The home is the best school. I can totally understand where Nayte is coming from. If he has found some of that love in Michelle, not only as a lover but a friend, I applaud you Nayte. Wishing you the best🙏🏽👏🏽❤️

“If it’s all new, how do you know that any of it is real?” Yeah… he ate that🤣

[@arlenemedina7107]

After watching this meeting with Nathaniel and his parents 💕 I now know that Michele is the right woman for him. He needs to feel real love because I don't think that he grew up with a lot of love around him 💔 that's what I see from this meeting. Hope he and Michele can have a loving life together.

[@judithmais8702]

Not only does he wants and needs her love, he also wants it for his own family!!! That was what he stated earlier in the relationship, he never seen intimacy with his parents. I see that both my Mother and Grandmother are not affectionate but l still show them affection and l can see that they desperately need it, just waiting for others to start the process!!! As young people we know better and we try to better than our previous generation!!! So l think as his Step-dad says, he will be a better Father, husband and lover because this man came into his life, sometimes as a adult be get better prospective of our parents relationship and a high appreciation!!!

[@nancyekandjo868]

This was one of the most touching moments I've ever seen on this show.

[@SandySandy-fr8vn]

I think Natye is a good guy,he is just afraid of his own feelings toward Michelle because he has never felt like that before and he is trying to play it down because he doesn't want to be hurt like he was when he was little with his parents divorce.

[@debora.426]

I am happy Nayte have someone to support him on his journey to find love.

[@judithmais8702]

I think it overwhelmed him knowing this man divorced his Mom for two years yet this man is still here supporting him through this process!!! I think Nayte's true emotions are coming out and l am glad he can face them head on including what he is feeling for Michelle, so purely and quickly!!!

[@jenn6294]

You are given this guy way too much credit

[@judithmais8702]

Until l see or hear anything negative with proof, not words and opinions from the Haters and Naysayers!!! He is loving Michelle, and that all he needs to keep doing for me!!! I know many are waiting to tear him and Michelle apart but l hope they stay strong and bond even closer together!!! Loving me some Naychelle!!!!

I think Michelle & Natye will make a beautiful couple. Her feelings are strong for him and I believe his is as well

[@Jaxxon123]

Yep, I think people may be misunderstanding him. He's a Cancer man. They don't do what they don't want to do. I don't think he would lead her on, if he was not ready.

[@jackiebenjamin8772]

@@Jaxxon123 thank you. I am a Cancer woman and you speak truth to power. I have a best friend, who is also a Cancer guy, we have been friends since we were teenagers and still friends as seniors, never a romantic situation, just platonic friends and that's a quality I admired about him where his relationships were concerned. They will always have your back.

[@debora.426]

Wow, Breakthrough, Pure Awesomeness 🥰😘

[@redvelvetsprinkles]

This was a sweet and heartfelt conversation. I feel like there's a lot of hurt somewhere within Nayte that they alluded to in this conversation and that might be stopping him from emotionally opening up to Michelle all the way. Charles is doing a good job here trying to ask the right questions. I really want to like Nayte but something feels off and I just don't see him working out long term with Michelle like any of the other 3 guys would :(

[@debora.426]

I promise you they will😘🥰❤🎤

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

just because something is new, doesn't mean you can't identify true love, ****love is a decision then followed by action****** prerequisites aren't required, when love shows up, it's up to you to be ready and willing

If michelle loves nayte ,she follow her heart, i know if she pick joe or brandon, is not gonna work, she grazy about nayt she loves nayte

i just think he has emotional development and growth to do, will he be ready and be able to sustain a committed and monogamous relationship and make that life long commitment

[@marinamiddleton8427]

Question: I need to ask because I see so much baseless speculation about Nayte and I don't get it. What makes Nayte look like a player and Brandon look like a sweetheart? I keep seeing these labels placed on these two guys and I'm completely lost. Don't get me wrong, I don't not think Brandon is a sweetheart but why do most of you see that in him and not in Nayte? I mean not for nothing but Brandon showed up in a bed yet we're saying Nayte's the player?

[@nakkesha]

I think people only say Nayte looks like a player because he looks like Chris Brown 😂

How?

What??? He is finally getting in touch with his True emotions, this Lady, Michelle is loving this man and Nayte is finally opening up not just to what he is feeling for Michelle but to the better man, husband, lover and father he will be because of not his Father but a man who truly stepped up in his life and still chooses to be there for him even in the face of a divorce, this man is still here for Nayte, that must be hard on him!

Disagree, you're doing a lot of baseless speculation. People pegged him as a player, yet we just learned that he really is a sensitive guy who has never really opened up. Let's see where it goes, as opposed to jumping to hasty conclusions.

Literally! Like I don't understand how ppl are falling for his bs. He does NOT LOVE MICHELLE. If he saw her on the streets of Minneapolis, would he look twice? No i bet not because girls are throwing themselves at him and he knows it. Mark my words, it will be over 6 months to a year.
