“The sky’s the limit…,” read Britt Nilsson’s one-on-one date card on last night’s episode of The Bachelor season 19. That’s when the 27-year-old waitress started to cry in panic due to her debilitating phobia of heights. Still, she pulled it together before their one-on-one date. People.com reported Chris Soules saying that she was “just as beautiful first thing in the morning as when she’s all dolled up for the rose ceremony.  It’s pretty incredible.” Turns out, she gets all dolled up for bed too, but oh well! The reality TV lovebirds soon arrived in the New Mexico desert to find a hot air balloon waiting for them, and Nilsson’s fears quickly disappeared with Soules’ arms around her.

Love is in the air … celebrity love that is! Celebrity couple Britney Spears and Charlie Ebersol are happy in their relationship and love life after they began dating in the fall. According to People, the pair have been spending more and more time together, from the holidays to birthdays, and they are even beginning to have a positive effect in each other’s life. “Honestly, the way that she treats people does make you look in the mirror and question how much you’re really giving to other people. Because she is a person who leads with her heart and treats people around her – who she knows and who she doesn’t know – better than you or I,” said Ebersol. “So it drives me every morning to want to get up and be better … It motivates me.”

Poor Chris Soules had a lot to handle on last night’s jam-packed episode of the hit reality TV show The Bachelor. His hands were full with two group dates, two one-on-ones, a visit from his sisters, a shameless Cinderella promotion, and one big confession. The first group date brought seven girls to the lake for a day of beach fun and night of camping. Ashley I. was, in her own words, a camping virgin and a virgin camping, and after fretting over it, she decided to tell Soules the truth about her sexual history — or lack thereof. She snuck into The Bachelor star’s tent in the middle of night to wake him up and was clearly nervous as she danced around the point of the conversation without actually saying it. In his blog on People.com, the Iowa farmer writes, “Here’s a little lesson for you ladies: Men are pretty simple when it comes to words… Spell it out for us. Maybe even write it down so we don’t forget it. We don’t work well with subtlety.” Later in the episode, she bravely tried again, and this time, she came right out with her confession.

The Bachelor contestant Ashley I. was in need of some dating advice before she confronted Chris Soules with her big reveal on last night’s episode. What are some ways to successfully open up to a guy?

In this week’s dating advice video, relationship expert and E!’s Famously Single dating coach, Laurel House discusses how The Bachelor, particularly season 19 with Chris Soules, and other similar reality TV shows are changing the reality of dating.

Dating Advice from E!’s Famously Single Dating Coach Laurel House

“They’re helping to shape the way we view what is desirable, what is sexy,” she explains of the reality TV franchise. “With Farmer Chris from Iowa as America’s current leading man, the dating landscape has dramatically shifted.” House reveals five ways that Soules is changing the reality of dating: Women no longer want bad boys like former Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis; we see farmers as marriage material; we’re going back to the basics and forgetting about the rich and famous; we want a true gentleman; and we (finally!) think nice is sexy.

Funny enough, a reality TV show is helping us redefine real love. “It’s being authentic; it’s being our true self. It’s looking down deep and thinking, ‘What do I need in a relationship and love? What do I need in a relationship? What will sustain a relationship long-term?'” the relationship expert shares.

Relationship Advice for the Early Stages of Dating

These dating experts share their best relationship advice for what keeps a man’s attention after the first few dates. In the beginning, of course, your chemistry is based primary on your looks, the way you smile, and how you smell. But if you want him to stick around, you have to make him happy. It’s really as simple as that! The best way to do so is by communicating clearly. Men get confused easily, so say what you mean and mean what you say. If you follow this relationship advice, you’ll quickly move from “just dating” to a committed partnership with the right guy.

Go green and gold! Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has the support of girlfriend Olivia Munn at every home game. Relationships and love go hand in hand…or in the football stand, in this case. According to UsMagazine.com, the actress explained, “Every home game, I am there. When there’s an away game, that’s when I leave to do my work.” She went on to say, “I think I’m a good fan. I’m there, and I’m screaming a lot. I think it’s really important to scream, and my acupuncturist told me energy follows thought. That was a very Hollywood sentence for you guys.” The Packers played a great season and were the division champs. On Sunday, Jan. 18, they sadly lost 22 to 28 against the Seattle Seahawks. We hope this celebrity couple makes it to next season!
