Mixed messages? Meghan King opened up about where she stands with The Bachelor‘s Mike Johnson after their blind date.
Shortly after the pair enjoyed a night at a Las Vegas strip club in September, King, 38, revealed that she wasn’t ruling out a potential relationship.
“I don’t know if he is looking for that. I mean, he was on The Bachelor and that’s the whole premise of the show,” she exclusively told Us Weekly after the night out took fans by surprise. “So I would assume he is, but I can’t put words in his mouth.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum noted that she was looking forward to getting to know Johnson, 34, more. “He’s definitely on a path to finding love. As am I,” she added. “It doesn’t seem like he’s playing around so I respect that immensely.”
Since then, however, the dynamic seemingly shifted. After their trip to Vegas, the Missouri native reached out to the former ABC personality to discuss her feelings.
“It was a blind date, but then it turned into a real date. So, then I get back to Saint Louis and I feel bad so I FaceTime him,” she recalled during the Tuesday, October 4, episode of her “Intimate Knowledge” podcast. “I’m like, ‘Mike, I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed my weekend with you. I feel like it did start as this blind date, but I do have an honest connection with you and I am sorry if you ever felt emasculated. I have to reach out to tell you what I felt was real.'”
She continued: “He was like, ‘I didn’t expect that.’ He was lying in bed and kissing the phone. Then he was like, ‘OK, I have some thoughts on this.'”
According to the Bravo personality, the twosome weren’t able to connect due to their busy schedules.
“He literally asked me to be his girlfriend the last night [in Vegas],”
