Love on the Spectrum Season 3: Connor reveals his thoughts on "physical intimacy" in a relationship

The first episode of Love on the Spectrum Season 3 featured Connor's introduction:

"I'm 25 years old, and I'm looking to make a love connection."

When the producers asked him about his previous match, Emily, and how things "didn't work out with her," Connor replied that when a cowboy falls off the horse, he returns to the "saddle" again.

Atlanta-native Connor showcased newly added items to his swords collection.

"Mostly, what I'm looking for is someone who I could share all my excitements, my thoughts with, and my feelings as well. I'm hoping for a relationship that might lead...lead to a more physical level."

Listening to him opening up about "physical level," the producer asked Connor:

"You wanna get laid?"

Agreeing, the Love on the Spectrum star responded that there was "lust" and "love."

As the first episode revealed, Connor lives with his mom, stepdad, and three siblings. While discussing movies, he mentioned women being into "handsome faces, big muscles, and tight...tight abs and big arms." However, his brother responded that it was "just a stereotype."

"A nice woman would be interested in a guy who's interesting and smart," said his mom.

She then asked Connor about returning to dating since he and Emily decided to be "friends." Love on the Spectrum star said he felt "comfortable" and "more confident." His mother added that she thought Connor was "more ready" to get to the "next" level with somebody. Listening to her, Connor added:

"Like kissing or intimacy."

When he referred to that as a "big step" his mother advised him that he needed to feel sparks and told Connor to "not rush" anything.

Supporting Connor, his brother asked if he had practiced such things in the mirror. However, he found it to be "weird." When his brother insisted, Connor mentioned he would "hard pass" it.

"I could give you some advice on how to do it, but not physically do it," said his brother.

When his sister told him not to "shove his tongue" down someone's throat, everyone laughed, while Connor agreed. While having casual conversations, Connor faced whether he had "changed" a little bit since he started dating.

His mother asked if Connor was still opting for "brunette" or was ready to settle for someone else.

"Well, brunette or, uh, or black hair," replied Connor.

He added that he was not a "blonde person." Even though his mother stated that some blondes are "cute," he didn't want to go for anyone blonde. Further in their conversation, they discussed Love on the Spectrum star Connor's next date.
