Wasn't as impressed with him as when I first saw his picture. Still top 3-4 material for sure.

Something in his eyes...a needy or possible jealous look-too intense??? Can't put my finger on it...just an intuition...i'm probably wrong! I like the nerdy teacher...he seems more real. This is starting out so much better than the London Bachelor!

Is he the one with the little son?

Broadway · 05-20-2008, 09:45 AM

Yes, weary.. he is.

I thought he was adorable, but definitely more reserved being in a group of rowdy, obnoxious guys.

Me too! When they did the scenes with his son and the babysitter I thought "this guy just wants someone to watch his kid." I know that is horrible but that was my first impression. Plus I really don't like the fact that he did not tell her that he has a child at home. To me that is a bit dishonest.

I liked this guy from the get-go. The moment I saw the clip with he and his son, I was taken in. Gotta love a man who's devoted to his children. As someone else mentioned he has those smiling eyes. He didn't resort to doing anything over the top to get DeAnna's attention. Let's see what happens. I was glad DeAnna gave him a rose.

Regarding telling DeAnna about his son, he said he'd tell her about his son if he got to stick around and that he didn't want to just throw it out there all at once. I didn't see it as dishonest at all.

I think Jason is a gentleman.

He wasn't obnoxiously trying to get Deanna's attention like some others were. I like that..not to mention his puppy-dog brown eyes.

I agree, beestunglips. And, as evidenced by a different thread in this forum people have openly admitted that they wouldn't give a guy the time of day if they knew immediately that he had children or had been divorced. Let her form her first impression of who he is and then tell her. I didn't get the sense from him that he'd wait too long. I'd be surprised if we don't see him telling her in the next episode.

I wonder if DeAnna's friend Jen didn't actually find out about his son as she seemed to be asking the guys a series of questions and writing answers in her book. Not that I think that Jen would necessarily run and tell DeAnna that immediately, but I would be surprised if Jason would lie if asked that question directly.

As a former single mom, I went to a speed dating event with another single mom friend of mine and we did an experiment. Even though the dates were only 5 minutes long, I made a point of telling every single guy that I had a daughter, and she didn't tell any of the guys that she was a mom (also has one daughter). When we got our scores, we both had 6 mutual matches. She had actually had more guys wanting to match with her (but she hadn't picked them as ones she was interested in), and of the 6 guys that we both matched with, 5 were the exact same guys. Based on our unscienfic experiment, we decided that those guys were open enough to dating a single mom that Jen didn't need to worry about "letting it slip" and that of the guys that were interested in dating my friend Jen but not me, Jen wasn't interested in most of them anyway - likely immature or superficial boobs, of which there were plenty in that crowd.

There was a single mom on the Charlie O'Connell season of the Bachelor and she made it a while, and eventually told Charlie, but then he axed her shortly thereafter because that freaked him out. I think younger (20s) people are a lot less open to dating a single parent then people in their 30s, especially late 30s. When I met my husband (who was 36 when we met), he said even though he'd never dated a single mom before it wasn't a problem because at our ages, if you want to have a family, a lot of people who also want a family got a head start on you.
