The Bachelors 2023: Felix rejects Tillys affections on awkward date | Video

It appears Bachelor Felix’s sizzling chemistry with Tilly is starting to wane.

A preview of tonight’s episode of Ten’s The Bachelors shows a cringe-worthy date between the hot-and-heavy pair, who last week were accused of having “pool sex” during a single date.

But their connection may have officially run its course, with Felix seen rejecting Tilly’s affections on an intimate date.

Victorian-based Tilly, 24, is shown attempting to cuddle the 27-year-old basketball player, who awkwardly squirms away from her. Tilly then airs her frustrations in a piece-to-camera.

“I feel he’s not reciprocating the amount of physical intimacy and touch I’m giving,” a defeated Tilly says. “That was really off. I don’t know, that was really off.”

Later, Felix admits the pair have the “best physical connection out of anyone here by far”, but that he was starting to struggle with the lack of emotional intimacy.

“The emotional connection I have with some of the other girls is something I’m starting to cherish more than what I’ve always gone for, which is the physical connection,” Felix says in a piece-to-camera. “I want to know how serious Tilly is with this. I’m not really feeling much of an emotional connection, I want to know if she is.”

Felix then confronts Tilly about how he’s feeling.

“If I’d have meet you six months ago, we’d be dating straight away … But where I’m at now is, the physical’s there, can we delve deeper into the other stuff?

“Now I want to get on that deeper level because that nurturing feel is something that I want.”

A taken aback Tilly asks, “Do you not think I have that?” before the preview clip ends.

Among many of the shake-ups on the long-running franchise this season, apart from there being three Bachelors, is the shorter run time.
