Whitney Thore's love saga with her mystery French man continues on the latest episode of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life'. The TLC star returned from her retreat to a pile of birthday gifts from her Parisian boyfriend. Whitney was puzzled on seeing the gifts as she still wasn't clear about how the French man felt about her. 

Their previous conversation left her questioning if the French man was even interested in her. When the 'MBFFL' star told him that the travel restrictions between France and America had been relaxed she was hoping for a very enthusiastic response from him. He instead reacted indifferently to her news, and when she suggested that he fly down to meet her, he simply said he would think about it. So, when Whitney saw gifts from him ahead of her 37th birthday she was reluctant to open them as she wasn't sure what to expect from him.

Upon her friend's insistence, Whitney began opening the gifts to see what she received. The gifts ended up further confusing her leaving her wondering whether she's her French man's best friend or girlfriend. He sent her a cushion pillow with best friend written on it and he also sent her a beautiful ring and perfume. 

In her green room interview, a very frustrated Whitney could be heard wondering about the nature of their relationship. Whitney eventually decided that she would call up the French man and tell him about her previous relationships and explain to him how she isn't in a position to put herself through another heartbreak.

When fans watched Whitney's dramatic reaction to the sweet gesture from the French man and her confusion about the nature of their relationship, they all pointed out that he isn't interested in her romantically and considered her as just his friend. A fan commented on TLC's Instagram page with, "He doesn’t like you like that at all! 🙄 move on." Another fan wrote, "Girl you a friend now SHUT UP AND GET OVER IT. stop getting your hope up high with these men smgdh." "What else can he do. He put it on the pillow. Your his friend that's it. Move on and stop trying to push it as u will only get hurt AGAIN," suggested a fan. "He's not into you 😢," added a fan.

Another fan pointed out, "He's trying to tell you friend only by these gifts since you overtalk him and push your boyfriend crap at him. Catch a clue, girl!" "Naaahhh he don’t want her! He wants to be on TV! Welcome to the rest of your life (if you’re tv famous) gurl 🙄," shared a fan. "It’s a friendship ring. If that. I had no idea she will be 40 in three years! She acts so much younger!" observed a fan. "How can it be a relationship when you have never met...goodness...hit the breaks," wondered a fan.
