Janelle Brown has never had to flirt her way into a relationship. The Sister Wives star meets a dating expert in an episode that aired October 11, and the advice does not go over easily. She says she is old-fashioned and has never hit on a man in her life.
The Meeting
PEOPLE’s exclusive preview of the scene shows Janelle telling the expert she wants companionship more than anything. The expert asks how comfortable she is with physical intimacy early in a relationship. Janelle is quick to answer. She calls herself very old-fashioned and very conservative, and says there would have to be commitment first. PEOPLE has the clip.
The expert also suggests striking up a conversation with a man at church. Janelle is not on board. She says she has never really approached a guy, and calls the idea of a pick-up line a no. “I’m just not that person,” she says in a confessional. The expert offers a gentler plan. Start with the things she already likes to do.
What She Took From It
Janelle calls the meeting an interesting step. The advice she liked best was about dating someone who adds to her life. After years of raising kids and meeting everyone’s demands, she says she now gets to think about herself and how a relationship improves her day.
That context matters for Pete. Janelle introduced him in August. It is her first relationship since she split from Kody Brown in 2022. Season 21 will show how the two met, and the trailer teases their first meeting.
One More Question
A woman who has been in a long plural marriage may find dating advice built for strangers a strange fit. Janelle’s answer was not to change herself, but to ask for time. That is a clear picture of how she approached Pete. She did not go looking. Her own words in August were that she was not expecting him.
