Fans react as Benny Blanco reveals Selena Gomez used to wait outside his house for 30 minutes before dates

Benny Blanco recently opened up about the early days of his relationship by sharing that Selena Gomez used to wait outside his house for 30 minutes before dates. Benny Blanco made the revelation on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, where he said:

"Selena’s so insane that when we first started going out on dates, she was so obsessed with being on time. She used to pull up to my house, minimum 20 minutes early, maybe 30 minutes early, and she would wait outside. But she didn’t realize that my cameras could see down the street, and her car would just be parked outside for like 30 minutes, and she would just wait until it was time to come in."

To which Selena replied:

"I don’t think we’ve ever said that out loud to anyone, but it’s so funny. It’s just, I don’t know, I was nervous that I really liked him, and I wanted to get there and, like, maybe call a friend to pump me up or do my makeup again or something."

The interesting tidbit by Benny Blanco gave the fans a glimpse into the budding relationship of the recently engaged couple and caught the eye of fans on social media. While some praised the couple for their honesty and relatability, others ridiculed Benny Blanco for the reveal:

"Why would you say something like this publicly about your SO? Very tasteless", commented one fan.

"AFTER ACTING LIKE A GREEN FLAG BRO'S BACK TO BEING A RED FLAGS", remarked another.

Another fan opined:

"Maybe Selena was trying to beat the traffic to get to yours yet here you are making her look desperate and eager. That’s not a nice thing to say about someone you’re ’allegedly’ in love with!"

The reactions didn't stop there as others took to defending Selana's punctuality:

"Yall are so used to being chronically 30 minutes late that hearing that she's 30 minutes early sounds "stalkerish". Being on time isn't weird, she just chilled in her car before the date", one fan weighed in.

"Coach always said if you’re early you’re on time, if you’re on time you’re late, and if you’re late you f**ed up. SG knows about the grind", stated another.

"The way this is worded is so unnecessary. Give me one girl who wasn’t ever once so excited about a date that they got ready too early, and then got nervous because they were so early?? Give me a break. Desperate is not the word for it my dude", added another fan.

Yet another fan quipped:

"I show up 20 minutes early to work and just sit there until I gotta clock in, I'm still not excited to work I'm just punctual"

Blanco shared:

"We were hanging on our second date,Towards the end of the date, we were just sitting in the living room on the couch, and we were playing We’re Not Really Strangers. And there was a thing where it said, ‘Take a selfie with the person next to you,’ and she got right on my chest and took a selfie. And then right after, I just looked at her and I said, ‘I gotta kiss this girl.’ I kissed her right away, and her heart started beating so quickly, and she started getting a rash on her face … she was so nervous."

Selena then went on to add:

"So some kisses are for fun and then when you feel something behind a kiss, it’s completely different. And I’d been alone for about five years, with the exception of a few sh*tty dates here and there, but never felt that way. And I was a little embarrassed"
