Will Gabby leave alone? 'The Bachelorette' fans believe she isn't ready for marriage after date with Erich

After their awkward departure following their fantasy suite date, fans believe Gabby and Erich are not quite ready to get married

RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO: Fantasy Suite dates are typically a huge thing on 'The Bachelorette,' and this season is no exception, with three dates each for the two Bachelorettes spaced out across two episodes. Gabby Windey began Fantasy Suites with a spectacular date with Erich Schwer, but fans still had a lot to say about their date — and they were a little perplexed about how things went down.

In this week's two-episode event, Fantasy Suites, Bachelorettes Gabby Windey, and Rachel Recchia have reached a critical milestone. If the leading ladies so want, they can invite their suitors on a private overnight date away from the cameras. On Clayton Echard's season of 'The Bachelor,' Fantasy Suites proved to be the week things fell apart for Gabby and Rachel. The football player told both ladies he loved them, persuaded them to take a rose, and then dumped both of them. But the ladies are back on their own path, seeking to set things right and emerge as engaged women.

Fantasy Suites premiered in Mexico, notably in Riviera Maya, where Gabby and Erich were able to take in the breathtaking scenery. They went to a cenote, which is a natural swimming hole with perfectly clear, blue water, and leaped from a dock. The 'Bachelor' franchise adores a metaphor about leaping into love, and they made the most of the chance during Gabby and Erich's date. Gabby, on the other hand, took her time contemplating the plunge from the cenote's highest point. She was afraid of jumping from such a tremendous height, so she waited to jump. She claimed Erich was really patient with her, but fans were not.

Gabby and Erich eventually jumped, and they did it with a touch of Hollywood romanticism. Gabby eventually gave Erich the key to the dream suite after their touching conversation about their hometown date. After spending the night together, the two parted ways, with Erich revealing in a confessional that it was difficult for him to know Gabby would be pursuing other men. Gabby, on the other hand, who believes she is falling in love with Erich, wants to be certain before taking such a big move.

Fans after watching the two spend a good chunk of the episode together feel that both aren't ready for engagement, and one or the other might pull back at the last moment. Seeing Gabby say goodbye to Erich right before moving on to her next fantasy suite date, a fan wrote: "Why is this walkout so odd? Gabby seems really unsure but they aren’t saying why. #bachelorette #TheBachelorette." Seeing Erich open about him having problem coming to terms with Gabby going on multiple fantasy suite dates, another fan wrote: "I bet if Erich was the Bachelor he would have ZERO issues with multiple fantasy suites #TheBachelorette." With so much love pouring in the couple on the social media, an apprehensive fan tweeted: "I think i’m the only person on Twitter who isn’t team Erich #TheBachelorette." Watching Gabby be confused about choosing Erich, a fan tweeted: "I know it’s him but I don’t know.” -Gabby Whaaaaaaat #TheBachelorette." Some fans feel, Gabby wouldn't go for Erich: "Eric is perfect for Gabby. That means she won’t pick him. #TheBachelorette." A handful of fans feel Gabby isn't ready for marriage yet: "Gabby isn't ready for marriage. #TheBachelorette."

After witnessing Erich being unresponsive towards Gabby's feelings twice now, a fan wrote: "ok I do love Erich a lot but I gotta backtrack a bit and say that this is the second time I haven’t seen him address what she’s been through right after she tells him and I REALLY hope it’s the editing this time #bachelorette #TheBachelorette." Comparing Erich to Season 17 contestant, Greg Grippo, another fan wrote: "Something tells me Erich is about to pull a classic Greg Grippo #TheBachelorette #bachelorette."

'The Bachelorette' Season 19 airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC.
