Jesse Meester is back for another series with '90 Day Fiancé: What Now?'. Jesse was first seen in 'Before The 90 Days' along with Darcey Silva. The two met online and started talking and Jesse thought he had found the one in Darcey. He gave her a promise ring and hinted marriage might be on the cards. However, things changed when Jesse started spending some time with Darcey. 

He saw a side of her that he hadn't before. This led them to head their separate ways. Appearing on the show, Jesse hinted he is ready to have a relationship. He admitted that his relationship with Darcey was a 'disaster' but added he is happy it happened because now he knows exactly who not to date. He further added he was looking for someone who was 'authentic' and 'real'. After being single for a year, Jesse admitted he was keeping his options open and seeing where things go. He also hinted Darcey had tried to contact him time and again. 

Speaking to his friends, he revealed he still received texts from Darcey that hinted she still had feelings for him. He showed the texts that were sent to him and in it, Darcey had admitted that she always thought they would work things out. Despite receiving these texts, Jesse made it clear he is not interested in going back to the past. His friends also thought he was making a good decision by leaving Darcey as their relationship was filled with drama. While Jesse made it clear that he has moved on, fans thought he was using Darcey has a topic for discussion and it did not sit well with them. 

"I swear Jesse's ego is so big it could manifest into a person for him to date.  Honestly, why is he on "What now?" read one comment. Another added, "Lord is Jesse about to be like Darcey and bring her name up in every scene. We got enough of her doing that last season."

Some even thought of making a drinking game out of it as one wrote, "Okay new game: chug your drink every time Jesse says he doesn't want anything to do with Darcy and take a shot every time he mentions Darcy." 

While Jesse might be sure that he has moved on it seems like viewers are having a hard time believing that because of his words. Will that change as the show progresses?

'90 Day Fiancé: What Now?' airs on Mondays at 11 pm ET on TLC.
