“Energy on zero”- Love is Blind fans criticize Alex for giving Tim’s parents a side hug

Episodes 10 and 11 of Love is Blind season 7 were released on October 16. These episodes are situated right before the finale of episode 12, so they saw the couples in the last phase of the experiment before they walked down the aisle. Alex really rocked up to greet Tim's parents with her hands in her pocket and energy on zero. Friends and families attended the couple's mixer where they saw all the season's participants.

Episode 10 saw Alex and Tim breaking up after Tim couldn't visualize a future with the former. One of the reasons for Tim's step back was Alex's meeting with his parents. She chose to take a nap when they were over to see her, which was bothersome to Tim.

Fans of Love is Blind also criticized Alex for greeting Tim's parents with a side hug when she saw them for the first time. They thought this exhibited disinterest and a lack of energy on Alex's side.

"Alex really rocked up to greet Tim's parents with her hands in her pocket and energy on zero. Wth," said one fan.

"Alex giving Tim’s parents a one-armed hugged is crazyyy," said another fan.

"Am I the only one who is on Tim’s side??? Alex seemed soo blatantly disengaged & disinterested meeting his parents after he went above and beyond meeting hers… also think there’s more that happened off-camera which is why he broke things off," a third fan added.

"Not Alex giving Tim’s parents a one-armed hug?? Girl where are your manners," a fan commented.

Some Love is Blind fans believed she was closed off towards Tim's parents.

"Alex keeping her hands in her pockets shows she was kinda closed off in meeting his parents but even Tim's mom was trying to steer him correct. She fell asleep and you don't communicate and that becomes 'I never wanna see you again'" a user wrote.

"Guys am I overthinking it or Alex was so rude meeting Tim’s parents? so cold so reserved, arms in pockets?? she hates that man," another user wrote.

"Maybe i’m too west African but why is Alex hugging Tim’s parents with one hand in her pocket…," another commented.

"Ramses is manipulating Marissa into more intimacy so gross to see.....and Alex hugging Tim's parents with one hand in her pocket....what is her problem?" another comment read.

Alex's nap leading to her breakup on Love is Blind season 7 episode 10

Things were all happy and gay between the two till Alex met Tim's parents and she chose to take a nap. Tim felt strongly that she chose to sleep rather than spend time with his parents, who drove for 10 hours just to come and see her.

So in episode 10 of Love is Blind, Tim sat her down after his parents left. He told her how her nap bothered him and said he wouldn't have done the same if her parents were over. Specifying the details, he explained that she was off to sleep as soon as she was done filming and the cameras were gone.

In her defense, Alex said she only slept for an hour after talking to his parents for four hours. She added that she was tired from working all day and meeting and greeting people, which is why she wanted to nap. She told him he should've communicated better and told her he didn't like it and she would've changed it.

Tim also mentioned how they hadn't spoken all day that day, and how she hadn't responded to a text he sent her either. He also brought in the dishes he had to do after cooking a meal for her parents. When Alex asked him to communicate better, Tim said he didn't want to be someone who he had to tell how to act, and walked out of the house, ending their Love is Blind relationship.
