Harold, who has autism, remains steadfast in his desire to create a future with Michaela despite their lack of communication after their dates.
“I’m not changing my mind but I’m a little hesitant. We had wonderful dates and it’s been two days since I’ve really talked to her,” he says. “I got a few text messages where [she said,] ‘Yes, I’m home, I’m safe.’”
He continues, “I’m trying to muddle through that because I don’t know if we can communicate over the phone as easily as we do in person because I can read facial expressions and I can catch your thoughts and complete your sentences but I can’t do that over the phone.”
Despite her concerns, the matchmaker does try to reassure Harold, telling him, “If it makes you feel better, I did speak with Michaela and she did say that she’s still very interested in seeing you.”
