What makes you a perfect Islander?
I am different than most people. I am a relatively open person and like to talk about everything. Besides, I am very sociable and interesting. I also like to listen to others. Everyone can always remember me, I seem to leave a good impression. Why this is so, I do not know exactly.
Are you ready for the big love?
Of course I am (laughs). For the next woman who gets serious, I even bought a bracelet. I would give everything for my dream woman!
If you could choose: 100k more insta-follower or the big love?
I do not care much about Instagram followers, so the big love.
How do you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10?
I never actually compare myself with others. I just do my thing and get dressed the way it feels good. If I had to name a number, I would be an eight.
What's your best feature?
I am incredibly stubborn. I never give up, in all respects, including the data
Are you bringing girls crazy?
I think I am somebody who does not drive the girls out of their mind at first glance, but rather gradually. If I spend more time with a woman and talk to her, it makes her crazy.
What is your best | worst property?
I never give up, this is both my best and my worst feature. For one thing, it makes me incredibly stubborn and purposeful, on the other hand, sometimes it would be better to give up. But I can not.
How would you rate your reputation for dating and relationships? For example, how would you describe women / girls from your life?
I am always honest, women always know what they are with me. I am picky and do not fall in love in one day.Of course that's difficult at Love Island. But in normal life the girlfriend or the ex from a good buddy is absolutely taboo for me.
There is the so-called Bro code. How loyal are you to your buddies?
Of course that's difficult at Love Island. But in normal life the girlfriend or the ex from a good buddy is absolutely taboo for me.
What was the worst date you ever had?
My worst date was with my ex-girlfriend. I visited her in Mexico and she confessed to me that she had gone astray.
How far do you go on the first date? / What is an absolute no-go for you?
As it turns out. I also had sex on a first date and a relationship has emerged from that.
How far will you go at Love Island?
Whether you cuddle now, or have sex, then makes no difference. So blanket over it (laughs).
How long was your longest relationship before this show?
Three years.
Which type of woman will you become weak immediately?
With a direct woman who may approach me. With open and joyful women, I'm getting weak.
Which celebrity do you love?
I used to like Megan Fox once, but today I do not have a celebrity to talk about.[1]
