6 Signs Pointing to Cassie Getting a Proposal From Colton on The Bachelor

First off, Cassie was one of the few contestants who didn't have an awkward comment about Colton's virginity prepared for the first time they met. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they're together at the end of it, but it shows that she has a deep respect for Colton and his experience. (Fans will remember that when Cassie met Colton for the first time, she handed him a box of butterflies.) And Colton told The Hollywood Reporter that he wants to be known "for much more than just being a virgin," so Cassie's thoughtfulness could have gone a long way.

Cassie did bring up the virginity topic with Colton on one of their dates, but it was in relation to her own experience. She mentioned that she might feel judged by others in her community for the fact that she isn't a virgin, highlighting the issue from her own perspective. Cassie didn't joke about Colton's virginity; instead, she had an honest conversation with him about it. And that's worth noting as the fantasy suite dates draw nearer.

When Cassie and Colton finally went on a one-on-one date, sparks were flying between the two. Their connection is more than evident on screen — especially since it culminated in an impromptu makeout session . . . in bed. During that intimate moment, the two of them also said they both felt like they'd known each other for "so long," which shows how close they're feeling. Colton also told Cassie on their date that he'd been "insanely attracted" to her from the moment they first met, a physical connection he doesn't seem to have with the other women.

While some of the other ladies have gotten into disagreements with one another — remember Demi and Tracy's blowout, or Nicole's fight with Onyeka? — Cassie has managed to avoid the drama . . . kind of. Her motives for being on the show were recently called into question by Tayshia, who told Colton she'd heard from other girls that Cassie and Caelynn just joined the show to potentially get a shot at being the star on the next season of The Bachelorette. She denied the revelation, but her unwillingness to tell Colton that she's "falling for" him isn't making things look any better.

As a speech pathology student, Cassie wants to open her own practice, according to her official Bachelor bio. She also wants to work with kids, something that Colton does through his cystic fibrosis charity, the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation. Cassie and Colton both seem genuinely dedicated to helping other people, and children in particular, which could make them a great match.

In an Instagram post last month, Cassie had a very interesting caption to share alongside a photo of her pushing a tire on the show: "Caption Options: 1. When you gotta secure the ring 💍 2. Get this ring away from me. I'm not ready for that . . . Or am I? 3. Hey @neillanejewelry ... do you make rings this big? 😉" She could have just been trying to be clever, but it might be a subtle hint to Cassie and Colton's potential future together.

Colton has gone on and on about how much he wants a girl who's there "for the right reasons" and who will be ready to get engaged at the end of the season, which made his decision to keep Cassie instead of Caelynn rather interesting. Caelynn professed her love for him and her father gave Colton permission for her hand in marriage, while Cassie couldn't bring herself to say those three little words or convince her own dad that the connection she shares with Colton is legit.

At the end of the hometown date episode, Colton still went with Cassie, sending Caelynn packing. If we had to guess, Colton is clearly head over heels for this girl, right? Otherwise it really wouldn't make sense to keep her around since she's the riskier choice in terms of who can guarantee a "yes" to his proposal.
