Are ’90 Day: Hunt for Love’ Stars Elise Benson & Tim Malcolm Dating?
Things may have ended between Carlo and Elise, but that doesn’t mean that Elise left the Hunt for Love Tell All alone.
During the 90 Day: Hunt for Love Tell All Part 1, 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days alum Tim Malcolm confessed that he had feelings for 90 Day newbie Elise Benson.
Before Tim revealed how he felt about his Hunt for Love costar, Tell All host Sukanya Krishnan played a behind-the-scenes clip of one of Tim and Elise’s first interactions. During the clip, Tim asked Elise if her body count was two or three digits (two) and if she had ever had an STD (no).
When questioned about why he asked Elise such personal questions, Tim confessed, “She likes to bust balls, and I was just busting her balls.” At the same time, Elise revealed, “I thought he was just trying to like, make me feel uncomfortable,” pointing at the perceived “shock value” of his questions.
While the Before the 90 Days star left the resort alone, he admitted during the Tell All that he “messed up the most with Elise.” Looking back, Elise revealed that her opinion of Tim has changed, leading to Tim’s big question.

Did Tim and Elise go on a date during 90 Day: Hunt for Love?
No, Tim and Elise did not go on a date during their time on 90 Day: Hunt for Love. During the Tell All, Elise revealed that while Tim thought he was asking her out, he only ever talked about planning the date without any action. At the time, Tim had invested a whole week into his relationship with (only) her, until he found out that Elise had started going for Carlo.
As Tim put it, “I was just kind of like, ‘Why the f**k didn’t she tell me that?'” According to the star, Elise’s change of heart hurt his feelings. He added, “Instead of talking to her about it, I was just like, ‘I’m not going to speak to her the rest of the trip,’ like I was five years old and I didn’t.” That being said, he confessed that he never explicitly asked Elise on a date “the way he did to Mei.”

Did Tim ask Elise out during the 90 Day: Hunt for Love Tell All?
Yes, after coaching from both Sukanya Krishnan and his ex-fiancée/close friend, Veronica, Tim did end up asking out Elise during the Tell All Part 1. Tim told Elise, “You’re very beautiful.” He added, “I love your humor, and I love that you can, you know, be asked about your body count and not get mad.” Leading to the big question, “Are you free this evening, after we get done with this oh-so-lovely Tell All?”
Much to the delight of the rest of the cast, Elise responded, “I would love to.” Knowing all about Tim’s close connection with their co-star Tiffany Franco, whom he commonly refers to as his “wifey,” Elise joked, “Tiffany, do we have your permission?” Of course, Tiffany approved!

What did Veronica say to Elise about Tim?
During a commercial break, Veronica caught up with Elise, asking her, “I need to know if it had not been for my guidance, would you still have gone out with him?” According to Elise, Veronica’s coaching was definitely a factor in her saying yes, because Tim probably wouldn’t have asked her out if Veronica hadn’t stepped in.
Veronica also gave Elise an inside look at how Tim is as a partner. She stated, “Once you’ve gone out with him, once he feels more comfortable, he will plan things. He will be so sweet.” Tim’s ex continued to add, “He needs a very confident woman so that he can be… So that he can be masculine.” After checking that Veronica and Tim had actually had sex, as Elise had “never heard of him having sex with a girl,” Elise was ready to “give it a shot.”
Are Elise and Tim still together?
Right now, it is unclear whether Elise and Tim are still together. The duo both follow each other on social media. However, we’ll have to wait until the Tell All Part 2 to see if Elise and Tim actually go on their date!
