There are numerous cast members not retuning for this season of Love on the Spectrum, and Tanner Smith is one of them, despite not successfully love last season.<\/p>\n

Many viewers, including myself, were very excited to see Tanner back on our screens again, but he revealed the real reason<\/a> why he isn’t planning on returning to Love on the Spectrum ever again.<\/p>\n

He explained: “Love on the Spectrum was one of the most amazing things that ever happened in my life. It changed everything for me and I’ve done things that I never thought I’d get to do but I have figured something out about myself and I want to tell you what it is.<\/p>\n

“Guys, I’m not ready for a serious relationship and I’m definitely not ready to get married yet. And since that’s my truth, it wouldn’t be fair or honest for me to be on a show about dating.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that he wants others to have the same opportunity he had on the show, saying: “I know there are so many people out there who do want to date and do wanna get married and so they wanna be on the show. So it’s time for those other people to have the chance to find love.<\/p>\n

\u201cI figured out that I want to travel, I have big dreams and I’m not ready to be somebody’s boyfriend so that is the honest reason why I’m not on season four.”<\/p>\n

Tanner’s mum also discussed his decision not to return to the show on her podcast, Talk To Me Sis<\/a>, where she explained that Tanner felt far too pressured to date, and was feeling very anxious to date the girls he met on the show despite having no romantic feelings for them.<\/p>\n

He realised that he currently didn’t “ever want to get married” or “have kids” and felt bad dating on the show when he wasn’t interested in it becoming long term.<\/p>\n

Tanner’s mum explained that Cian and the rest of the Love on the Spectrum team picked up on the fact he didn’t seem interested in seeing his dates again, and they all decided it was best if he stopped participating in the show.<\/p>\n
