She's beautiful, fun etc. I tend to believe that she has chosen not to have a date because she won't settle and has the confidence, and is secure enough in herself to say "I don't need a man to complete me". Not to imply that she doesn't want a man, she just is willing to wait for the right man and doesn't want to waste time nor energy on the wrong ones. I have a daughter exactly like this. She is beautiful, bright, great personality but also hasn't had a date in a few years. People will say, "i can't believe she hasn't dated" but it's not that she hasn't had the opportunity, it's just that they are not the right guys.

I agree with this as well. I have two sons 25 & 21 years old. The 21 year old is in a relationship now for 1 1/2 yrs. He had one other girl he was dating for 2 years in high school. The older one has had two girlfriends...one for 3 years (during high school)- the other was 2 years. He has never dated someone other than these (2) girls and hasn't dated for several months. He knows exactly what he does and doesn't want and I am very proud of him for this and for many other qualities. There are many good guys out there ladies...it's all about timing.

I thought Jason mentioned he didn't see her or spook with her since the end of the show.

It's official. ABC has announced it will keep The Bachelor at two hours. Samantha Who? has lost it Monday slot due to improved ratings for Jason's season. Samantha Who? will air on Thurdays instead.

Writen off by all the critics, The Bachelor still has the ability to draw an audience. As I said last year, The Bachelor is the most flexible show, able to contract or expand it's runtime according to ABC's needs. Just a quick re-edit, and it's 60, 90 or 120 minutes per episode. It fills holes in ABC's schedule very well. The expansion to two hours shows the network's confidence in this season.

They must feel confident with the ending and story they have created.

How much have the ratings improved?

Look at my posts in this thread #698 & #1016.

Basically I mean out-doing the most recent Bachelor seasons. Nearly 10 million viewers last week. In terms of the ranking of ABC's shows, The Bachelor is doing it's best since The Bachelor 5 (Jesse), which was a top 20 show, and the network's only top 20 show that spring (after football season ended).

Part of the improvement is relative because of ABC's other shows not doing so well.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Deanna Pappas may not have found her happy ending on “The Bachelorette,” after calling off her engagement to snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, but the show was not a complete loss. Of course, her number two choice, Jason Mesnick, is currently taking his spin on ABC’s “The Bachelor,” hoping to find his own happy ending. Even more interesting though is how Deanna’s bachelor rejects have struck up a very close “bromance” since the show ended.

A group of the guys including Jesse, Jeremy Anderson (a lawyer from Dallas,TX), Richard Mathy (a science teacher from Binghamton, NY) and Brian Westendorf (a high school football coach from Ft. Worth, TX) have become extremely close friends and recently hooked up for a ski reunion weekend in Jesse’s hometown of Breckenridge, Colorado.

“As soon as we were legally allowed to talk to one another we were on the phone and email and MySpace and texting each other, talking about all the insanity that was our whirlwind ‘Bachelorette’ experience,” Brian told me.

“We got six to eight really close friends and the “star” of the show got to take a cab home from her breakup,” Jeremy added.

Since the show ended last May they have had several guys weekends together including a trip to NYC for fellow show alum Graham Bunn’s charity launch and a weekend in Dallas.

“The next big stop together is Vegas!” according to Brian.

So, what do they do when they get together? Talk about the show, of course! “There is the occasional reference to that little known show that brought us together,” Richard says. “But for the most part it focuses on what guys talk about every time we get together, how to fix the BCS!”

This close group of friends also includes Mesnick. The guys have all been watching “The Bachelor” and have some ideas about whom he should choose.

Jeremy believes Stephanie, the widowed mom, would be most suited for Jason. “Stephanie is probably the most prepared for the situation having a four-year-old daughter of her own and having been married before. She seems like a very mature and responsible person and would make a great partner and seems to be a great mother already.”

Jesse believes Lauren or Melissa would be a good fit but adds that he hopes Jason will pick, “the girl best suited for him.”

But when I asked whom the others thought Jason would pick, the choice was unanimous. “Melissa. It’s all over the Internet and nothing on the Internet can be wrong, right?” Richard says.

According to Jeremy, “ABC all but showed us who it was and she seems to have a fun and quirky personality that Jason would be attracted to. They make a great match.”

As for their own love matches, after a bumpy start when the show ended, Jeremy is currently dating a girl from Dallas. Jesse has been seeing “Bachelor: London” contestant Holly Durst while Richard and Brian remain single but looking. When asked if any of the girls peaked his interest this season Brian took the politically correct route, “If Jason said, ‘Hey buddy this girl wasn’t for me but I think you should ask her out,’ I’d do it, but I’d have to have his permission first. Guy code, you know.”

Now that’s a true “Bachelor” bromance!
