Love on the Spectrum season 3 episode 5 - Dani and Adan

Dani and Adan are busy individuals, and there is no doubt about that. It has always been hard for them to schedule a date because of the multiple professional areas that they are trying to focus on in their lives right now.

Dani is trying to become an animator and thus, takes classes for the same. As for Adan, he has two things taking up all his time. The first is his college schedule, and the second is his job as a security guard. But after a long while, the couple finally met.

As they were casually hanging out with each other, Adan decided it was time to talk about his boundaries in a relationship when it comes to physical intimacy. Breaking the ice politely, he told Dani that certain boundaries she needed to know and respect, while he would also respect hers.

A curious Dani agreed to his statement while Adan continued to reveal that he does not feel comfortable having "s*x outside of marriage." This was a blow for her, who was not expecting that this was Adan's boundary.

However, she tried to he respectful but expressed that it was a bit disappointing for her. Adan tried to reassure her by iterating that he loves and respects her, however, this was something he needed to get off his chest.

Even though it was a boundary, the revelation was big enough to cause a crack in their relationship. Dani was trying not to express her emotions too much in front of him, but it was clear as day to Adan that it had affected her.

Tanner and Callie's date was more on the fun side in this Love on the Spectrum episode. The two visited a park where they did what everyone does at the venue, that is, feed ducks, eat snacks.

The thing is, the two did not talk to each other much, and while it might feel a bit weird to some viewers and can be misinterpreted as a "lack of communication," the couple was perfectly fine in their shared silence. After sharing jokes to lighten up the mood, Tanner asked Callie for a dance, to which she agreed.

He extended a hand to her, and she held it, and they danced away happily. By the end of the Love on the Spectrum episode, the couple decided they would have a second date soon because their bond seemed comfortable to them.
