The students gave Matt the pre-parent grill, asking how many girlfriends he had and if the two had kissed.</p>

In a sit down with her mom, Michelle got emotional admitting Matt could be the one and she would say yes if he proposed to her.<br></p><p>When questioned by her dad, Matt said he would move to Minnesota from New York to make the pair's relationship work. A big promise, right? Well, he probably didn't mean it. When the couple was reunited Michelle admitted she was falling in love with the <a href="https://celebritypage.com/search/?q=New+York+City" target="_blank">New York City</a> native to which he responded with a kiss... never saying it back. So, that's where they stand.</p>

Cumming, Georgia's <a href="https://celebritypage.com/search/?q=Rachael+Kirkconnell" target="_blank">Rachael Kirkconnell</a> risked it all on a skydiving date with the bachelor. While landing, the graphic designer's side slammed into the ground, shaking up Matt.</p><p>Well I guess nothing tests your love as much as a minor skydiving incident, as that's the moment Matt realized how much he cared for Rachael.</p>
