The Love is Blind star also spoke about how their connection deteriorated after leaving the pods. She realized they were incompatible on multiple levels and incapable of understanding each other fully.

"He was truly devastated" — Love is Blind star Alex shares her father's reaction to the breakup

While speaking to TODAY.com, Alex discussed her relationship dynamics with Tim and everything that did not work in their favor. She confessed they were not a match on many fronts, including their ways of showing affection. Alex admitted Tim "wasn't super affectionate," like her, and because a relationship included compromises, she expected him to meet her expectations.

Once their romance fizzled out, the Love is Blind star stated they were "just two different people who came from two different worlds." Alex believed they did not have the tools "to date each other fully."

She confessed she had not contacted Tim after their split on the dating series because he specifically asked not to see her ever again. Alex added that he had not contacted her, although she didn't block him. She expressed that anytime she "had an inkling" to rekindle their relationship, she would remember the night of the breakup and repress her temptations.

When asked why she did not fight to save their relationship, Alex said she had already communicated her feelings and could do nothing more.

"I'm just never one to chase anyone. If that's your wish, by all means - let's end it," Alex said.

The Love is Blind star added that she was caught off guard when Tim revealed that "he made up his mind the night before" because he made plans with her "earlier that day for the rest of the week." Alex confessed she was confused about what went wrong between them in that short period.

She said Tim had an emotional meeting with her father two days before their breakup. It was "the most anxiety-driven" time for Alex since she "knew for a fact" that she would not marry Tim until her father gave him his blessing. Hence, she felt "very thankful" when he got her father's approval.

When asked about her father's response to the breakup, Alex said:

"He was truly devastated. To this day, he does not like Tim. He didn't like that [Tim] went through that entire process. He looked at the letter [that Tim wrote to him] because my dad still has the letter. He looks at it like it was all a lie. He reread it and was like, 'Was any of this true?'"

The Love is Blind star believed they would go the distance and start life as husband and wife. She was convinced their issues would never be "too big to not go the whole way." However, marriage was not in the cards for Alex and Tim.
