He told Ashley, \u201cLibby has been fun. I feel like my connection with her is a little bit different than, my connection with you. I feel like we have&#8230; it&#8217;s very calming, very chill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During their chat, Ashley also shared some personal stuff with him. She said, \u201cI haven&#8217;t told anyone else here this. I am a virgin that has been waiting for marriage. I get that&#8217;s different. And I get that&#8217;s probably weird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI understand it&#8217;s not for everyone. I don&#8217;t expect the person I&#8217;m with to have done that either. This is a very personal choice I made when I was younger, and it ties to the romantic side of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ashley seemed a bit nervous about how Andrew would respond, but he was completely understanding. He told her, \u201cI don&#8217;t feel any type of way about that. I think if anything, it shows how strong of a person you are. And you should be proud of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite their obvious chemistry, Andrew ultimately decided to pursue things with Libby instead. He felt a stronger, more suitable connection there in the end, even though, as we now know, things between him and Ashley were definitely significant.<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast
