On Ready To Love: Make A Move, Ashlee has difficulty letting go of her past to make space for a future with Kirston. The pair hit it off soon after meeting, though Ashlee can’t seem to move past Kirston behaving like men she’s dated.

“I’m not going to lie, I’m very attracted to you, but I’m scared,” Ashlee admits to Kirston in the clip. “Because you remind me so much of all the guys I’ve dated before.”

Kirston isn’t feeling Ashlee’s blanket comparisons of him and her previous boyfriends. He assures her that he doesn’t need much from her but to continue having a good time together on their dates, which he said Ashlee provides. And like Ashlee, Kirston said he’s looking for something serious and is ready to settle down and “give fate a shot.”
