Shanley's free-spirited attitude towards relationships and sex has often meant that she moves too fast. Most of her relationships are over before they've started. While attending Indiana University, she was very friendly with the boys but getting too cozy too quickly prevented most guys from taking her seriously. She hopes that she can slow down long enough to have a real relationship.
In the very first episode of Are You The One? Shanley was sent to the Truth Booth and found out that her crush was not her match. However, that didn’t stop Shanley and her “No Match” from maintaining a relationship that sent the rest of the AYTO house into chaos. At the same time, Adam was in the middle of his own on-again-off-again- crazy-again relationship. As a result, they were never on each other’s radar. Adam and Shanley don’t share a romantic spark but acknowledge that the matchmakers got something right because they are now best friends who chat at least once a week. Now these besties are ready to prove that their relationship might not be perfect - but they’re the ultimate Perfect Match.
