90 Day Fiancé: Caleb Earns Respect For Not Faking It With Alina On Camera
Caleb Greenwood is being praised for being his authentic self in front of the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days cameras while exploring his relationship with Russian girlfriend Alina Kasha in Turkey. After knowing each other for 13 years, Caleb and Alina are meeting for the first time. But as expected by Alina, sparks did not fly between the 90 Day Fiancé newcomers, making her suspect if he’s attracted to her at all. The Arizona man was also slammed for not booking an accessible hotel for Alina and for making it appear as she’d catfished him. But fans are now realizing Caleb is not a bad person at all, but in fact, a gentleman who respects Alina and doesn’t want to force intimacy.
Episode 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, catches up with Caleb and Alina after he’s all settled in Turkey. Caleb reveals that they never had sex or even kissed, and as he was processing the physical differences between them, he figured it wasn’t the ideal situation for the magic to happen. But Alina confessed that she was upset with Caleb not giving her cuddles “yesterday” exclaiming that them not doing anything after 13 years was illogical. While referring to herself as someone who’s “not a thirsty a** b**ch,” she explained that she’s not begging for it. But the effect Alina had on the 90 Day Fiancé audience was quite the opposite. They thought Alina shouldn’t rush into intimacy while seeming desperate and give Caleb a break.
On a clip of the scene shared by 90 Day Fiancé on YouTube, Caleb earned massive support from viewers for being true to his feelings, and not taking any hasty decisions which he would later regret. “I respect Caleb for thinking things through and doesn’t want to hurt her,” noted a top user comment. Someone called Caleb, “very mature and empathetic.” They added that they feel sad about Caleb being judged unnecessarily by fans who are expecting a fairytale from the relationship like Alina probably is. “He isn’t putting on for the cameras,” chimed in a different fan. Many agreed that Caleb handled the situation impressively.
Any 90 Day Fiancé watcher would have predicted that Caleb could have started arguing when Alina confronted him. But Caleb managed to stay in a good mood and tell Alina his feelings truthfully so as to not make the situation messy, which fans agree is a good quality to find in a partner. However, some believe that Caleb has realized early on that he’s probably not physically attracted to her and that Alina should take the hint and act more realistically. A few have reached the conclusion that Caleb and Alina were better off as friends and may have ended up spoiling their friendship by exploring a relationship.
Views about Caleb have changed drastically ever since he was seen jogging shirtless or revealing that he relates with Jesse Meester the most from the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The fact that Caleb did not take advantage of Alina is what makes him a true gentleman according to the couple’s well-wishers. It’s plausible that more TLC viewers will convert to #TeamCaleb after Alina’s big secret about her former boyfriend is revealed. Alina appears to have been in a live-in relationship with her ex very recently and hasn’t told Caleb anything about it. A fan has also claimed that Caleb has been dating again after coming back to the U.S. but his fun banter on Instagram with Alina suggests they’ve managed to retain their good friendship regardless of everything.
