Shella's dates with Pascal vs. her dates with Fabio on Love is Blind: Germany

She said she was confused and detailed that Fabio was "very emotional", he made her feel safe and they could openly talk about anything on their dates. She added that she was reluctant to choose Fabio because she still had Pascal at the back of her mind.
On her date with Pascal, Shella found that her views about starting a family matched well with Pascal as he wanted the same things. This was when she asked him if he was developing feelings for her because she was starting to get "comfortable" with him. Pascal replied:
"Personally, I'm not ready, of course, to say that I can see myself proposing to you."
He added that he was prepared to give her the time to get to that point. He clarified that he was the type of person who needed a lot of communication to be attracted to someone.
