Overcoming dating struggles and the first move
James opened up about his love struggles before meeting Shelley. He attended several speed dating events and was active on dating sites, hoping to find a serious connection. However, he faced a string of letdowns.
“There have been too many times to count when I felt discouraged about dating,” he shared.
His efforts were often met with silence or connections that didn’t progress, leaving him uncertain about his future in relationships. Despite these challenges, James remained persistent.
“I definitely was feeling very discouraged, but I didn't give up,” he said.
The Love on the Spectrum star added that Shelley made the first move in their relationship.
"She reached out to me online because she actually had seen me," he explained.
