Southern Charm stars Austen Kroll and Olivia Flowers still dating exclusively. This is in the wake of the whole world essentially begging her to stay away from him. Everything he does seems calculated and, in many ways, proves to be. But there has always been that ‘bad boy’ thing that some broken women are attracted to, but where is the self-preservation? Flowers also explains how she got many warnings from friends about pairing up with Kroll. The inherent problem there is any time you tell someone they can’t have something, they tend to want it even more.

She claims the two of them are doing just fine, but really, what would you say? No one is just going to come out and say they were wrong. Even if they clearly were. Does seem like they’re playing the long game, though. Credit where credit is due.

“They’re actually (allegedly) in an exclusive relationship, so that is quite an interesting decision. ‘We got to kind of relax once the cameras left and the shows stopped,’ she said. ‘We’re definitely in each other’s lives.’ Oy vey. They’re just two tall Southerners looking for love in all the wrong places. Olivia, on the other hand, prefers the out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach. ‘I didn’t really let other people’s opinions or preexisting drama sway me either way,’ Olivia said. Power to you, girl, We’ll all be sitting around to watch whether or not Austen will continue in his ways or finally (and hopefully) prove us all wrong.”

So let’s play devil’s advocate for a moment. What is her plan if he doesn’t prove everyone wrong? How close do you need to dance to the candle before finally admitting it is burning you? Keep in mind, we have no bad blood with Oliva, but sometimes you just wish you could shake someone so they would see what was so obviously laid out before them.
