90 Day Fiancé: Another waySarper shares his (less romantic) side of the story about his relationship with American girl Shekinah.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek of Monday’s episode, the Turkish “bad boy” recounts how the couple met on a dating site while she was visiting Turkey with a friend.
Sarper says that in addition to Shekinah’s “original” and unique name that caught his eye, the photos she had on her dating profile — which showed off her impressive physique — were “so different” that they sealed the deal.
“I mean, she looks like a sex bomb,” he says.
But because of his “fierce guy” personality, Sarper admits, “I wasn’t expecting too much, maybe a one-night stand or something, but [the] the first date was like a dream. … I saw that soft side in her and she saw the soft side of me.”

After sparks flew on their first date, Shekinah told Sarper she wanted to see him again the next day—but there was a catch on his end. “I was with two women that day and I was so exhausted.”
Although he “tried to cancel”, the date still happened when Shekinah arrived to “look after” Sarper. The chemistry between them was “perfect”, which he “didn’t expect”.
Shortly after their explosive night together, Shekinah was set to leave Turkey and return to Los Angeles – which Sarper assumed would end their romance.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect to see her again. And then she came to Turkey one more time, just for me. We had a vacation, like a honeymoon. It was perfect. After that week, everything changed for me.”
