“These bachelors, it’s so frustrating when they say that they want a relationship and then they don’t really want that and their actions do something else,” Stause explained. In “Selling Sunset,” Stause noted that she didn’t see anything romantic in Oppenheim at first because he was shorter than her. I’m so happy and I’m with someone that respects me ... it’s everything I ever dreamed of.” This was the first time Stause dated someone she was friends with first, and the experience was a good one. “So you have your small group of people that you end up hanging out with and it just kind of happened where I think what started as something that was a little, you know, just going to be really light and nothing, you know, no feelings, nothing like that … it just really took a turn,” she told TODAY in November 2021. “I’ve never had a situation happen before where I became best friends with someone first,” she told Entertainment Tonight in November 2021. “We worked so well together, and we have so much respect for each other. I’m just saying there was none of that,” Stause said in the show. “Jason was there for every breakup I had, and every bad day, and we became close through all those conversations. Then we became more friends and I feel like it’s the first time I’ve really been my full self and I don’t have to change anything,” she said in episode one. “When I first heard the news about Jason and Chrishell, I was a little confused by the caption.

Until then, 2022 bring it on.” Clearly, this is a woman that knows what she wants.
