Tom proposed to Maria in episode 4 of Love Is Blind UK
In episode 4 of Love Is Blind UK, Tom proposed to Maria, and they finally met in person. They both formed a connection on their first date, but Maria was not the only choice for Tom. Tom had been honest with Maria about his other connection, Natasha. In episode 3, Tom confessed to Maria that he had not reached his final decision, and that he was taking his time to figure out who was the one for him.
Maria, on the other hand, showed an understanding of Tom's need to explore different options before making a decision. She expressed confidence in her connection with Tom and her willingness to continue "the experiment." However, she also acknowledged her concern about Tom still figuring out his other connections.
During a confessional in episode 3 of Love Is Blind UK, she expressed :
"It's a lot to like, digest. I don't know what he could be telling his connection. I don't wanna know. I don't 100% know what he's going to do, but I do believe in what we've got, and I do feel like it's very strong. It's just scary isn't it?"
Tom also discussed his dilemma with Bobby, one of his fellow mates. Bobby suggested Tom should focus on the core values of the person he would want to make his life partner and start a family with. Torn between Natasha and Maria, Tom wanted to get clarity on his feelings for Natasha as he thought it might just be friendship. But he wanted to make the right decision and for the right reasons.
In episode 4 of Love Is Blind UK, Tom concluded his emotions and expressed to Natasha that he felt his connection with her was more of a friend, and he could not base his marriage on that. Maria prepared herself to open up and express her true feelings to Tom. She felt vulnerable but at the same time, confident enough, to let someone in.
She confessed to Tom:
"I feel like I really struggle to say how I feel and how much something really means to me. This whole thing has just shown me that I ruin things for myself. I really want this, and you really mean a lot to me, and I really don't wanna lose this."
She continued:
"Tom, I have never pictured my life with someone until I met you. Thank you for opening up to me, and being completely honest. I have never felt like this with anyone. You are absolutely amazing, Tom. I have never felt so sure about anyone. I love you."
Tom was deeply moved by Maria's confession and took the opportunity to express his desire to be a part of her life and fill the void she felt after her father passed away. Tom then proposed to Maria and asked her to marry him.
Episodes 1- 4 of Love Is Blind UK are available to watch on Netflix.
