I love Twitter and the fun interaction people have while watching their favorite shows — Bachelor Nation is the best online community!  From time to time, people tweet us questions.  Thing is, it’s hard to answer in 140 characters or less.

Here are three recent Twitter questions and their longer-than-Twitter allows answers:

Question #6: What are your thoughts on two people who have been friends for years starting to date? Good or bad idea?

Tweeter: @lipsis  

Answer: Hey if you feel like it’s right, go for it! Of course you run the risk of harming a good friendship but I say risking it for love is worth the chance.

Question #7: What has been your biggest hurdle in marriage so far?

Tweeter: @ashug32  

Answer: I’d say communication. As a guy, I’m not the greatest at conveying my thoughts and emotions and I’ve learned that my wife needs that from me. So much of marriage is about communicating thoughts and emotions so that both people are on the same page. This is a work in progress.

Question #8: When did you  know Catherine was the one?

Tweeter: @jessipooduh  

Answer: So this is a question I get a lot. I honestly didn’t know until our final week in Thailand. The whole time I was going through my “journey” I tried really hard to compartmentalize each relationship, which ultimately left me a little lost because I wasn’t comparing them to one another. Luckily for me, I reached clarity at the end and knew that I couldn’t see myself every saying goodbye to Catherine. And by the way, that feeling has only multiplied since then.
