The father and star of 19 Kids and Counting revealed that he met Dillard and felt like he was someone worth introducing to his daughter.

“You have to come in armed with good jokes and I usually have Skittles as well.”

Jill and her sister Jessa are taking things slowly with their boyfriends.  The rules of “courting” dictate that they refrain from holding hands or kissing until they’re married and that they never spend time alone before the big night.
