David makes his decision and chooses Lauren

Molly had earlier explained to Monica and Vanessa that she and David shared the same "values.". However, she was aware that David was also talking to another woman in Love is Blind pods.

Lauren was frustrated with his uncertainty and said, "I just don't get it." David then shared that Molly had told him he was her "last option," which bothered him. He then asked if she was talking to any other guy, and she admitted,

"Dave, you are the only reason I'm here."

Lauren said that David’s confusion "frustrates" her, but she understood. David assured her that he had not told Molly she was his "number one choice" and that Lauren was the only person he could see himself proposing to. He told her,

"I can hear in your voice, you're extremely genuine and kind."

He also admitted that when he looked back at his notes, he had written that he had feelings for Lauren. However, he still felt the pressure of making the right choice, saying that he did not want to make a "wrong choice."

Finally David spoke to Molly again and admitted that he has decided to go ahead with Lauren in Love is Blind. Molly simply responded, "Good luck," and left.
