Love is Blind UK made its much-expected debut on August 7, 2024, bringing the popular dating show to the British country. Following the success of six seasons in the US, the UK season invites singles to form deep connections without ever seeing each other, relying completely on emotional bonds formed through "pods."
Jasmine, a 29-year-old mental health nurse, is a contestant on the show Love is Blind UK. Her journey on the show has found her connections with two potential partners, Sam and Bobby. In a conversation with Sam, she opened up about her doubts about connecting with him.
She said,
"I'm just keeping my cards close to my chest because I don't want to get hurt... I'm guarded."

Getting married to someone you have known for a few days was a big deal according to her, so she just wants to make sure before making this decision.
Jasmine and Sam: A connection rooted in pods in Love is Blind UK
The first conversation in the show Love is Blind UK, for Sam, took place with Jasmine. He's felt connected to her since the beginning. They both talked about how much they enjoyed taking care of people and how excited they were to be parents to their own children.
In the confessional, Sam said,
"I want someone to be my best friend and someone I can feel comfortable enough to be silly with and be a big kid."
Sam expressed to Jasmine that he has so much to offer in a relationship, but he was just waiting for someone to give him a chance. She also opened up about being an affectionate person and her love language being physical touch.
When Jasmine inquired about why girls weren't giving him a chance to be with them, he replied that they tend to judge him too quickly based on his Instagram profile or his appearance in a bar, assuming he might be looking for a one-night stand. She asked if he gave that kind of energy to women and he denied that and said maybe it's just his appearance.
Jasmine's confusion between Sam and Bobby in Love is Blind UK
Even though Jasmine felt a strong connection with Sam in the first episode of Love is Blind UK, she was also considering moving ahead with Bobby. While Sam was emotionally understanding, she felt Bobby was more straightforward and practical about things. She expressed that she felt more comfortable with Bobby, and she also appreciated his sense of humor.
Jasmine asked Bobby what he believed to be the most important factor in a relationship. He said,
"For me, it's someone I can vibe with and connect with on all levels. I am looking for someone who is not just a partner but also a friend."
He talked about coming from a single-parent background and how strong his connection with his mom was. Jasmine smiled and agreed as she too had a strong connection with her mom.
This made her feel more connected to Bobby compared to Sam. In episode 3 of Love is Blind UK, Jasmine decided to move ahead with Bobby rather than Sam.
The first four episodes of the show Love is Blind UK are currently streaming on Netflix.
