Their first meeting 

From the moment Matt and Chelsie laid eyes on each other, it was clear there was a spark and some serious chemistry as the two shared a passion for science. 

During her red carpet arrival, the Victorian beauty gifted Matt with a temporary tattoo of the chemical formula for "oxytocin" — the love chemical.

To her disbelief, he understood the meaning behind the sentimental present!

"I can't believe he is smart," Chelsea told the cameras after their encounter. "That is so exciting. I actually didn't think he would be able to understand what I was talking about at all!"

During their next interaction, Matt and the chemical engineer— who also has a Bachelor in science— bonded over science, maths and textbooks!

And, as expected, the hunky astrophysicist was starstruck!

"It feels like she's reading the handbook of what Matt's looking for in a relationship," he gushed during their first single date. "Every time with Chelsie, she just makes me happy. We have a ridiculous amount in common, and it's just so easy and natural when we're together."

Their first date 

On their first official single date, the pair baked banana bread together and ended up covered in cake batter and flour, before jumping in Matt's pool and enjoying a McsSteamy kiss.

Interestingly, Bachie viewers were quick to point out that previous series winners Alex Nation and Snezana Wood both shared messy dates with their Bachelor— a chocolate bath and pizza making date.

"The more I find out about her, the more excited I get," Matt said during their date. "Let's see if we can convert our love for scientific chemistry into relationship chemistry".

Chelsie loved the nerd connection, too! 

"Matt and I do have the same interest for science. But in saying that, that's definitely not what defines me. So, hopefully, this is a chance for us to really open up and to get to know each other a little bit deeper."

Their second date

During their second date, the loved up pair faced their fear of heights as they rappelled off a very tall building! Although sparks were flying, it ended in disaster, with both Chelsie and Matt having to be lowered down!

Despite some initial awkwardness, it seemed their flawed date only made their connection stronger, with Matt later revealing: "We both just looked like absolute idiots, but if I'm going to make a fool of myself, I'm really glad it's with Chels. There is no doubt that we have phenomenal chemistry. But you do not need a PHD to see that!" 

After settling down with a glass and champagne and, of course, a cheese platter, Chelsie opened up about her goals and aspirations, admitting she can't wait to be a wife and a mother! Naturally, Matt agreed, admitting his five-year plan aligns perfectly with hers.

Home visits 

Fast forward a few weeks and Matt and Chelsie were off to Melbourne to spend time with her mum Julie, older sister Shannon and dad Snowy (who The Bachelor copped a grilling from).

"Bringing Matt to our home towns is so exciting. It'd be really cool to see him, you know, with my family, where I'm completely relaxed and able to be myself. Being vulnerable and open, it's not something that comes easily or naturally to me, because of my previous experience with going through heartbreak. But, you know, I don't want to have any regrets," Chelsie said. 

The hometown visit went swimmingly, with Chelsie even admitting she could see Matt blending into her life with ease. 

"The more I get to know Matt, the more I fall for him," she said. "But I am falling in love with him and I think that's something I need to tell him before it's too late. Seeing Matt integrate with my family so well, it was really good, and it makes me feel like it could really work on the outside. I really do hope it's us at the end. It gives me a taste of, like, what a future could look like with him."

Although sparks were flying, Chelsie told Matt she couldn't say those three little words. "It's not an easy thing for me to do" she said before they kissed goodbye. 

So what was holding her back? 

"It is quite daunting knowing that three other girls [are still here], and saying those words is huge," Chelsie told TV WEEK at the time. "I also find it hard to say things when I know Matt can't say anything back to me. Part of me doesn't want to look silly when I don't know where his head is at. It's a struggle for sure."
