- At the beginning of “Love Is Blind” season 5, I dismissed Milton as a nerd.
- But he might be the best catch in the franchise’s history.
- He’s an effective communicator who is funny as hell and not afraid of emotions.
From the first conversation Milton Johnson and Lydia Velez Gonzalez have in the “Love Is Blind” season five pods about sedimentary rock,
I dismissed him as a geek too young to commit to the marriage experiment, even if he had the best intentions.
Lydia describes Milton and their conversation as “nerdy” at least three times in that first scene, although she means it positively.
She also voices concerns that 24-year-old Milton is too young to handle her 30-year-old Puerto Rican self.
But Milton proves two skeptical Boriquas wrong and turns out to be the season’s best catch, and potentially the best partner in “Love Is Blind” history.
Here are all of the reasons why I hope we see Lydia and Milton say yes at the altar and live happily ever after, chatting about rocks, for years to come.
Milton is the best male communicator of the season
Netflix
Despite what he says on episode two about having difficulty with vulnerability, Milton is actually quite good at expressing himself and his emotions.
While Lydia is crying about desperately wanting to be loved for who she is, her honesty and tears don’t make Milton uncomfortable.
He affirms Lydia’s desire to be loved as valid and assures her that she is his first choice and that he is ready to give her what she wants.
He even tells her she’d be a great mother, which is important to communicate to a future life partner if you’ve ever considered having children.
Immediately after he asks her for advice about how to open up emotionally, he takes steps to show that he wants to improve and explains that he uses humor as a shield.
He is also effective at emotionally supporting Lydia in episode eight after her brutal confrontation with her ex Uche Okoroha when she worries it will affect her relationship with Milton.
