"That wasn't cute" — Love is Blind fans criticize Tim for not putting the engagement ring on Alex's finger

Love is Blind season 7 released episodes 1-6 on Netflix on October 2, 2024. The show is a unique dating experiment that allows singles from various walks of life to find love before physically seeing each other. It helps the cast members form unbiased and honest relationships.

After going on multiple dates, the couples decide whether to take their connection to the next level by getting engaged. They pop the question in the pods, meet each other, and finalize their engagement only after a positive outcome.

During the ceremony, the man typically goes down on one knee and puts the ring on his partner's finger. However, one cast member took a different route in episode 4 of the Netflix series. Tim handed the ring to his partner, Alex, and let her put it on herself.

While Alex was unbothered by Tim's choice of action, netizens were displeased. Love is Blind fans took to X to criticize Tim for not doing the needful. A fan wrote:

"Now why did Tim just give Alex the ring for her to wear it herself? That wasn't cute."

"tim now why you let alex put her ring on herself????" Another fan commented.

"Family I don't think Alexandra and Tim will be saying yes at the altar," a netizen tweeted.

Love is Blind fans were unimpressed by Tim's actions, suspecting he was not romantic.

"Damn why the hell did Tim not propose in person?? He just handed her that sh*t lmao," a user reacted.

"Tim just gave Alex her ring like he was giving her a piece of gum," one person commented.

"Alex and Tim are my favs, but the way he just handed her her ring... YIKES! I still think they like each other, but all these meetings are awkward this season." Another fan wrote.

At the same time, many Love is Blind fans were critical of Tim's decision not to kneel while re-proposing to Alex.

"Something is not curling over for me for Tim, I'm not convinced. He didn't even kneel to propose properly, he gave her the ring so she can put it on herself?!? UGHH," a user tweeted.

"Tim just handing her the ring to put on is CRAZY! He didn't even get down on one knee??? Huh????" Another person reacted.

"I didn' like that Tim didn't get on his knee to re-propose to Alex. Just handed her the ring to put on her own finger. Like h*e is you cool?!" One netizen commented.

What happened between Tim and Alex during their engagement ceremony in Love is Blind season 7 episode 4?

After accepting Tim's proposal in the pods, Alex looked forward to meeting her beau in person. She was excited to see the face of the man she intended to spend the rest of her life with. Meanwhile, Tim confessed before the cameras that Alex was the woman he had been waiting for.

Despite their excitement, they worried about the other person's first impression of them. Alex said:

"I don't know Tim's type. I'm not a size two. I definitely have curves, definitely a little thick, thick baddie."

She added that if her size became the "dealbreaker," then Tim was not the man for her. However, it turned out that the Love is Blind cast member had nothing to worry about. As soon as the doors opened and Tim saw Alex, he exclaimed, "I knew you was fine!"

Right after they embraced, Tim pulled out the engagement ring and handed it to Alex, who put it on herself. He did not go down on one knee or propose a second time with endearing words. The couple then sat on a bench and started talking.

When Tim saw Alex wearing a nose ring, he revealed that his late older sister used to wear one too.

"Actually my older sister had a nose ring and funny enough, my dad got mad when she got it, " Tim said.

The Love is Blind cast member then teased Alex by joking about "the dog." She requested him not to ruin the moment with the banter. Soon, they kissed one last time and parted ways, eager to spend some quality time in Mexico.
