Eric's brother said on SS that he was shocked that Eric actually pulled the trigger on LF (talking about the kiss). LOL

ROFLMAO...can't you just see Eric's brother and friends all glued to the feeds...hollering out advice...saying kiss her already!

Then the big WooHoo...BooYah...when it finally did happen!


you know it had to be in Eric's head that his friends could be watching cause he had mentioned earlier that it was 9:30 in NY.

This has been a FUN morning!! I said this in another thread, but Eric's awkwardness endears me to him so much. He has geniune feelings for her and isn't a player. She is sweet and seems to like him. I like hearing them joke sweetly about what they are going to dress up as for Halloween, etc. VERY CUTE!!

That put an end to the smooching!

That means a lot to me that he cares enough about her reputation that he made her aware of who might be watching.

Eric has such a massive crush on Jessica. I don't think I realized how much of a goner he is until Friday night/Saturday morning when he was trying to tell her how he felt about her.

Then tonight, watching him working up the nerve to kiss her, in spite of her complete lack of response to his overtures, I just really felt for the awkward boy.

But he CANNOT stop talking. He is so desperate for a sign that she really likes him and to talk about his feelings and to verbally process everything he is feeling so he can get a grip on them. On the other hand, Jess is so not a talker. She hates to verbalize anything and it made the situation even more awkward.

There are times that I wanted to reach through the computer and shake him to get him to back off just a little. There are times when I winced when he said something inappropriate. And then there was the moment just a while ago. With so much honesty and emotion in his voice that I almost felt guilty for listening to something that was never intended for me, he suggested that this might be a problem because "I am so attracted to you." He's been talking at her all night, giggling and changing his voice and playing around, but that that one sentence, said calmly and deeply, with no laughter...it was hard to hear him put himself out there like that.

Eric has so many flaws I can't even begin to list them, but there is no doubt in my mind that his feelings for Jess are genuine. Very, very human he is.

I wonder if Eric is in the closet gay, esp since his brother seemed so surprised he kissed her

Only, you saw her as having no interest and not responding to his "overtures"???? Wow. I really must have watched a different show!

Spygirl, no, no, I didn't see her as having no response to his kisses. I was talking about the two hours he spent working himself up to kissing her, during which I could kinda sense she wanted him to, because she wasn't actively moving away, but HE was confused because she just lay there like a stone until he finally kissed her.

I think Jess likes him, is attracted to him, enjoys spending time with him and now seems to like kissing him. The problem I think for her is that Eric is verbal, to say the least, and seeks constant reassurance, which she is not able to give easily because she is NOT comfortable easily expressing her feelings aloud.

Another issue is where they are and the limits it places on the physical aspect. It cannot be easy for a 21 year old girl to lie in bed with a 27 year old guy, even one as awkward as Eric, and kiss him without keeping in mind those boundaries. I'm sure that she is aware that it could get out of control and Eric is probably not going to be able to keep that in mind, so it's going to be up to her.

How this is all going to play out, I have no idea, but I thought the whole thing was sweet and very real. You can't ask for much more than that.

they really are sweet and even if it doesn't last outside of the house, i think they have a sincere friendship. i love it. And I love that they were friends first and that he was scared to kiss her.

I just feel badly that they have to try to do this in this very awkward situation. I mean, on the one hand, they may not have met otherwise, but on the other, how bizarre to be on camera, to have "unfinished business" on the outside, and to have such real feelings for someone?!

I know that Eric is talky and awkward, but Jess knows that about him too and seems to like him in spite of (or because of?) it.

They are very human, as OH put it, and that makes me so excited/nervous for them.

Eric's brother's thread at SS is titled "Senor X, I'm calling you out..." or something like that. I'll try to link.

OK- can't link. I don't know how to do the "tinyurl" thing. Someone else will, I'm sure! There are lots of helpful folks here.

I saw less than half an hour before the first kiss but found the situation somewhat confusing. Jess's body language when she was on her back and later when she was turned away from him didn't seem like she was into it, but she did respond when he finally made his way to her mouth. She complimented him on his kissing, but something didn't seem quite right about it. Maybe it was simply her reserve about being on TV and his reminder about that. I'd call it sweet but not magical if that makes sense.

http://snipurl.com/1pyz0 This is the link to Eric's brother's posts. He's SenorX27.
Here's what he said about the kiss: "Wow! I can honestly say that I never expected him to pull the trigger on the air. Wow. I am legitimately shocked. Wow."

Did Eric ever smooth over with Jessica Jen's comments about him having a girlfriend? Or did he just ignore it?

I'm wondering if Eric finally kissed Jess because of Jen's girlfriend story? I do think that Eric sincerely likes Jess, but I have to wonder about the timing of this. Is he trying to keep Jess loyal to him?

I don't think he would do that - don't know of course, but that doesn't seem like him. I was hoping he'd have told her about the girlfriend as I think that was holding him back before. It seems a bit unfair to kiss her if she doesn't know, particularly as others in the house do know.
