Her Bachelor

Her Bachelor sounds just like the man I had to leave behind...

"Remember when you told me that marriage for you is one time and one time only?" Brad asked DeAnna, who nodded in eager anticipation. "I feel the same exact way, and I just said goodbye to Jenni."

However instead of then telling DeAnna that she was the girl for him, Brad unexpectedly hit the pause button.

"Okay, hold on real quick," Brad told a confused DeAnna.

Then, after wandering around the yard nervously adjusting his tie and wringing his hands, Brad returned to the final Rose Ceremony altar and revealed his decision to a confused DeAnna.

"We always promised each other we'd be completely honest right, no matter how much it could hurt?" Brad asked DeAnna. "I look at you and I see so many things I never thought I would have in my entire life and I'm trying to tell you that I have so, so many feelings for you. And I want so badly to be so confident to pick you up and twirl you around and give you a diamond ring and spend my life with you. But I can't look you in your eye and tell you that I love you. I can't. I can't give you a promise that I can't keep, I refuse to do that... I have to tell you goodbye."

"I don't understand," DeAnna -- exhibiting some of the "strong and independent" side that Brad had just complimented -- told Brad. "I just don't understand how you could say goodbye to me. I guess that's maybe because my feelings are different."

DeAnna asked if Brad looked at her more as a friend. He said that wasn't the case at all, and instead he just didn't want to offer her the "false promise" of happily ever after because he cares about her too much.

"That word 'love' means so much to me, I refuse to give you any false promise because I do care about you so much" Brad told DeAnna.

Understandably, Brad's "clarification" seemed to further confuse DeAnna.

"It just doesn't sound right to say that you do care about someone so much, but you're willing to watch them walk away" said DeAnna.

"I would never want to hurt you," said Brad.

"I'm hurting right now," answered DeAnna. "I think the difference is I came here sure, and you're not."

"Do you know how much I care about you?" Brad asked DeAnna.

"No I don't. No I don't," said DeAnna. "I thought I did, up until I got here today. Until just now. I thought I had it all figured out. This would explain why I never wear my heart on my sleeve."

Brad pleaded with DeAnna not to say something like that before she asked him one last question.

"What happens when you regret your decision?" she wondered.

"I don't know," answered Brad.

"To be so hurt and mad all at the same time," said DeAnna once she was back in her limo. "Half of me is looking at him like I don't give a f**k what he says, than the other half just could not understand. I definitely didn't think he'd be the next person to break my heart. Stupid me."
