Love is Blind UK is a popular Netflix reality dating show where singles from across the country form connections without seeing each other. They have deep conversations separated by a wall, focusing on personality and shared values instead of physical appearance.
Ollie, a 32-year-old sales professional, finds himself in a love triangle with two contestants named Demi and Catherine in the debut season of Love is Blind UK. He said in a confessional in episode 2,
"Feeling confused between Demi and Cat."
Ollie initially connects with both women on an emotional level, but his feelings begin to change as he talks more to both of them. With Catherine, he feels a s*xual vibe and he confesses to her that. Demi gives him space to open himself and he feels more emotionally connected to her.

Ollie's connection with Catherine in Love is Blind UK
From the beginning of the Love is Blind UK show, Ollie felt a connection with Catherine, but he felt something was missing with her and he shared the same with his fellow contestants in the show.
Speaking to Bobby, Ollie said,
"It was hitting on paper, hitting in my head, but not my heart. That's kind of what I feel like here. On paper, everything makes sense, but my heart is still being pulled in the other direction."
In one of their conversations in episode 2 of Love is Blind UK, Ollie directly told Catherine that he feels a strong sexual vibe from her, which she reciprocated. Apart from this intense physical attraction, Ollie was unsure if their connection was beyond the surface level. Ollie asked Catherine to explore other connections as well because it was too soon to cut out all the options.
Catherine seemed a bit disappointed and she talked about this to her girlfriends in the show. She said she felt sad about her date with Ollie because when she spoke about going to a place called Cirque for her birthday in London, he mentioned to her that place was pretentious and judged her for going there and gave it too much thought.
Demi's thoughtful gestures: The emotional connection in Love is Blind UK
On the other hand, Ollie’s relationship with Demi made him feel special; it was rooted in emotional connection and thoughtful gestures. From the beginning of their chat, Demi’s caring nature has made Ollie very comfortable talking about his feelings.
Her thoughtful approach towards him made her plan a surprise birthday for him. Demi put a lot of effort into making his day memorable, decorating with balloons, bringing a cake, and even writing a personalized birthday card filled with the things he likes, as well as a wifi symbol indicating their strong connection.
In a confessional, Ollie said,
"What Demi did for my birthday, and just seeing the level of effort that she had gone to, that told me everything. Well, it told me everything; I knew, I already knew. If that made sense."
She also gave him a rose quartz, like a crystal of love. They both expressed their happiness to their fellow contestants about the whole conversation. Demi said that she might be falling in love with him.
Episodes 1-4 of Love is Blind UK are currently streaming on Netflix.
