Chock let Joan taste his famous "Chock-o-noodle soup," which the blonde beauty thought was delicious, and he later opened up about how he didn't feel ashamed to say that he was a little "lonely" after his kids moved away.
"I've been more excited about this than probably anything I've done in years," Chock gushed to The Golden Bachelorette cameras.
"Joan's got a lot of class. She's gorgeous and I respect her family values. I'm so excited to get to know Joan better."
Chock told Joan that she has beautiful eyes, and after a nice conversation, he noted how he had "butterflies" in his stomach and was simply "mesmerized" by The Golden Bachelorette's star beauty and poise.

While Chock didn't receive the First Impression Rose, he earned himself a rose at Joan's very first Rose Ceremony.
