Nick Cummins’ charming personality, unusual ocker-isms and heart of gold captured viewers attention on The Bachelor Australia.
But after a rather awkward date with Dasha Gaivoronski on Wednesday’s episode, fans suggested the former Wallaby may have issues ‘carrying a conversation’.
Several viewers observed that Nick, 30, has been on several dates so far this season in which the women have been left with little to say.
‘There’s one common denominator and it’s not the women!’ Bachelor fans claim Nick Cummins is to blame for a string of awkward dates with Dasha (left), Jamie-Lee and Vanessa Sunshine
One fan remarked on Twitter: ‘Remember when we all thought Vanessa Sunshine couldn’t have a conversation? And then Jamie Lee and now Dasha… There’s one common denominator here and it’s not the women.’
Another wrote: ‘That’s three dead conversations…. Perhaps it’s Nick who is boring?’
A similar tweet read: ‘This is a season of awkward Bachelor dates. Nick has issues carrying a conversation.’

‘He’s so bland!’ one viewer complained, prompting another to point out that Dasha – whose first language is Russian – was actually ‘leading the conversation’.
Earlier in Wednesday’s episode, Nick also stumbled to find the right words when talking to Cassandra Wood about his feelings for her.
The rugby star was trying to explain that it was hard for him to open up emotionally to one woman because he has six other women’s feelings to consider.

But instead of getting to the point, he stammered and hesitated. In a particularly odd moment, he laughed nervously when Cassandra asked him about his feelings.
