Sara and Ben’s conversation in Love Is Blind season 8 episode 2

Sara and Ben’s interaction began when Ben called her name in the pods and they both greeted each other. When she mentioned she had been thinking about him all day, Ben questioned whether she had been saying that to multiple people, to which Sara replied, "No, I really haven't." Ben admitted that hearing that made him happy, adding,

"Okay, because this is putting a huge smile on my face right now."

He then confirmed that he had also been thinking about her. They further discussed eating habits, with Ben asking if Sara considered herself a health-conscious eater. Sara responded,

"I love food. I'm a huge foodie. And if I'm going to be going out to eat, I'm going to order what I want."

The discussion moved to cooking, where Sara mentioned using her air fryer for easy meals but admitted that steak does not turn out well in the appliance. Ben then revealed that he never ordered steak at restaurants because his father makes the "most amazing" steak at home.

Sara agreed with this sentiment, saying her father also makes amazing steak. The discussion ended with them joking about being "one big, happy family," with their fathers meeting and cooking steak for each other. The two went on to have a conversation about spirituality and faith, as Ben talked about his Christian beliefs.

"I want you to be comfortable, you're not being pressured on anything in that way," he added.

Sara responded to this by thanking him, as their date in the Love Is Blind pod eventually came to an end.

Monica immediately accepted, replying, "Absolutely." Before meeting each other the following day, Monica reflected on the experience in a confessional, comparing it to playing the lottery. She said,

"This whole experience reminds me of playing the lottery, when you're waiting to hear the numbers you daydream… But with Joey, I won the lottery, it's crazy."
