I think Brayden’s age and maturity definitely plays a role in that.
Hearing Brayden explain it put me a little bit more at ease.

What factors did you use to make decisions about guys you hadn’t really spoken to?
Time is everything, and we know that in theBachelorworld.
Those limo entrances are truly the first impression.
Sean had a very creative limo entrance with the check and cashing his heart out to me.
I liked that you initiated most, if not all, the kisses on night one.
[Laughs] Yeah.
What was your kissing philosophy going into the evening?
The game plan, I don’t know if there necessarily was one.
You see me kind of initiate a few of [the kisses].
Michael, the yacht captain, gave you a charm bracelet with boat on it.
Have you ever worn it?
There’s some prominent Maybelline product placement in the season premiere.
Did you get a lifetime supply of their makeup as a result?
I wouldn’t say a lifetime supply, but definitely a lot, which carries me throughout the season.
