Aaron reveals he doesn't feel a spark with Maël despite their hookup in an exclusive clip.

In an exclusive clip obtained by DreamDive, Maël shares his concerns with Aaron about the lack of physical intimacy in their relationship, despite finally hooking up.

"On New Year's Eve, for me was great. I felt like I was on a high peak and I kind of felt this attraction to you and I did not get the signals from your part," Maël explains.

This prompted Aaron to be honest with him and reveal that he felt pressure to have feelings quickly.

"I didn't feel like I had any extra feelings ... that was a hookup in my mind," Aaron shares. "I just felt like I didn't have that spark. And I feel like I'm just always going to really want physical actions to be special. I still don't have a lot of romantic feelings there."

The couple did spend New Year's Eve together in Paris, and while Maël was hoping for a kiss from Aaron, things did not go as planned.

"I usually spend all my New Year's alone in a plane traveling somewhere, so this year being here with Aaron ... is really something," Maël says in the second clip. "I don't know if it's the champagne, the view, or the fact that it's New Year's Eve, but I feel closer to Aaron tonight and I would like a New Year's kiss tonight."

Unfortunately, those feelings were not reciprocated — and it doesn't look like things are going to end well for the couple.

"I'm starting to miss having my friends back home and my family," he explains in the clip. "Maël, he's a great guy and everything, but I do wish I had other friends here and other people to talk to. It gets to be a lot overall."

Despite the slow start, is there hope for Aaron and Maël's relationship? Well, unfortunately, Aaron has not posted on Instagram since December 2022. However, his Instagram bio says he is in North Dakota, which could mean he returned home without Maël.
