Dina and Grant's relationship grew in Madrid, Spain, where Dina received a one-on-one date with The Bachelor's Season 29 star.
Grant called Dina smart, beautiful and driven, but he was hoping she'd let her guard down so he could get to know her better and see a more vulnerable side of her personality.
Dina told Grant that because she's very independent and successful, she struggles to allow men to do nice things for her.
Grant said he definitely felt chemistry with Dina -- who reminded him of his strong, stable and hardworking mother -- and there was never an awkward moment with her because she was always smiling.
Grant told the cameras that Dina totally surpassed his expectations and that he really trusted her.
Grant therefore didn't take Dina's words lightly when she warned Grant about Carolina's actions and intentions. Right after Dina told Grant to be careful with that bachelorette, he sent Carolina packing before hometown dates.
Dina will now be shown taking Grant home to meet her family and then competing against Juliana Pasquarosa, Litia Garr and Zoe McGrady for a rose leading into Fantasy Suites on The Bachelor.
Until The Bachelor viewers can watch more of Dina and Grant's story unfold on the show, let's learn some information about this blonde beauty right now.
