The debut season of Love is Blind: Argentina released new episodes on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. The segment featured the couples living together in an apartment, tackling the challenges of everyday life one at a time. They utilized their cohabitation to reflect on their relationship and decide if they wanted to leave the social experiment as husband and wife.
While some couples grew closer to one another, others started second-guessing their participation in the show. One such contestant was Florfi, who, after returning from her honeymoon in Tulum, wondered if marrying Tom during the experiment would be wise. After much deliberation, the Love is Blind: Argentina contestant decided to leave with her partner in episode 8.
Florfi explained she wanted to take her time nurturing her relationship with Tom before formalizing it with marriage. While admitting her unpreparedness, she said:
"When we started living together, I had that feeling that marriage was still a possibility for us. Then, I kept waiting for that feeling to grow. But I still don't think I'm ready."
Florfi and Tom decided to skip the dress fitting and leave the experiment. Love is Blind: Argentina hosts Wanda and Dario conveyed the news to the other cast members, who were disappointed to hear about the couple's untimely exit.
What happened between Tom and Florfi in Love is Blind: Argentina episode 8?
After returning from her honeymoon in Tulum, Florfi wondered if she wanted her relationship to lead to marriage. She confessed she was in a self-discovery process to determine if marriage was truly her end goal. While she doubted her journey, she knew her feelings for Tom were genuine.
Tom agreed with Florfi's sentiments. He believed they needed to have more experiences together and focus on the evolution of their relationship instead of rushing into any major decision. While speaking to the cameras, Florfi admitted she struggled to keep up with the pace of the social experiment, hesitating to marry someone she met only a few weeks ago.
Although her feelings for Tom grew, Florfi's desire to get married did not. In episode 8, the Love is Blind: Argentina star shared her concerns with Tom. While Tom looked forward to meeting Florfi's sister, Martu, Florfi wondered if introducing her fiance to her family would be wise. She explained her hesitation and said:
"I'd definitely need to introduce you to them before we get married. But I mean, since we still haven't decided yet, I think it might make them uncomfortable."
The Love is Blind: Argentina star added that she felt overwhelmed by "the whole marriage situation." Despite their "super strong" connection, Florfi felt marriage was gradually becoming "less and less of an option."
Tom admitted to giving himself the space to tackle one day at a time. However, he requested that they communicate with each other if they start to feel differently. Since feelings could not be influenced, he realized it was in their best interest to see how each day unfolded.
Later in the episode, Florfi sat with Tom to discuss their situation. She mentioned she wanted to continue their relationship but felt that marriage was not the best choice for them at that stage of the experiment. She suggested they keep "spending time together" and nurturing their relationship.
"I feel like we need to spend more time together and have more experiences in order to make that decision," Florfi said.
When the cast reunited to try on wedding outfits, Love is Blind: Argentina hosts Wanda and Dario informed them of Florfi and Tom's absence. In the meantime, Florfi and Tom packed their belongings and decided to leave together.
Florfi explained she continued the journey as long as she felt marriage was possible. However, once the feeling started to subside, she knew it was time to take her leave. Although a difficult decision, she confessed it "made sense" to end everything then. She believed her connection with Tom would blossom at its own pace.
Meanwhile, Tom admitted it was an uncanny feeling to "drop out" so close to the end. The Love is Blind: Argentina star was grateful to have met Florfi.However, he was also worried about their future together.
