KEY POINTS

  • Lana Rhoades admitted now-boyfriend Mike Majlak wasn't her "type" at all when they first met
  • But she said Majlak was "very persistent" in his pursuit of her that he eventually won her over
  • The ex-porn star said she appreciates Majlak's persistence, sense of humor and respectful attitude

Lana Rhoades recently got candid about her first impression of boyfriend Mike Majlak, admitting that she once thought she would never be interested in him when they first met.

In the fourth episode of Rhoades, Olivia Davis and Alexa Adams' cooking show, "3 Girls 1 Kitchen," the former porn star, 24, opened up about the early days of her relationship with the YouTuber and revealed that Majlak wasn't her "type" before they started dating.

"When I first met my boyfriend, Mike, I remember Logan [Paul] asked me before he introduced me to Mike, he was like, 'Is he your type?', 'Would you ever be interested in him?' and I was like 'just no way'," Rhoades recalled. "He's not my type whatsoever. I would never be interested and I thought that for a while."

Rhoades explained that Majlak eventually won her over with his determination, revealing that he continued texting and inviting her to hang out despite often turning down his invitations.

"But he just kept being like very persistent, texting me every morning like 'good morning,' being really sweet, asking me to hang out. Honestly, most of the time, I would be like, 'No, sorry I'm busy with work, I can't hang out,'" the former adult entertainer continued.

Rhoades confessed that she "sort of kept him to the side" while he was pursuing her. She also revealed that she would make it clear that she wouldn't have sex with him when they hung out or had sleepovers, but Majlak was always respectful of her choice.

"And so that made me feel more comfortable to keep hanging out. Then, eventually, I just sort of saw his internal qualities, like the fact that he's very intelligent, he's very funny and the stuff that I initially thought that he was lacking started to be made up by those other things," she explained.

With her experience with Majlak, Rhoades said she feels that being persistent, respectful, overly supportive and nice are the qualities men should have when it comes to pursuing a woman. She added that making someone feel special is another good way to make her reexamine her feelings for a man, especially if she doesn't find him interesting at first.

"That makes me want like, be like, 'Oh damn, maybe I could like them' because they make me feel a way that other people aren't making me," she explained.

Rhoades and Majlak have been dating for nearly a year, though the two briefly broke up at the end of October.

In an earlier episode of her YouTube series, the OnlyFans star also gushed over Majlak, revealing that her boyfriend now has no problem showing his affection for her through kissing and physical touch despite once complaining about her being too cuddly.
