I'm really concerned that you don't see how evil and condascending Courntey is. I hope you have figured out the best match for you by and possibly a few others may be a great match for you. You are an awesome guy. But please consider all the girl feelings and don't lead them on. Remember what happened to you.
I just hate that many of them can be soooo INSECURE, COMPETITIVE, EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE, JEALOUS, SUSPICIOUS, CATTY, MANIPULATING, NEEDY, OBSESSED and INFATUATED. I understand the feelings can grow when you spend time with someone.
But come on! Get a grip girl! You are not in a committed dating relationship with this guy. You are just getting to know him. Be a friend. Guard your heart and quit being so desperate and shallow.
Don't cheapen yourself by throwing yourself on a guy or sleeping with him, when there is a chance you could be eliminated tomorrow. Have some self-respect and substance. Wait your turn. Stop interrupting someone else's quality time with the bachelor.
Then when the opportunity comes to have time alone, let it be natural and express yourself. But be real - not fake. If there is a connection - then great. If not - then that's ok too. Even though Ben is great, you don't want to get stuck with the wrong guy.
There is someone for everyone. Deal with your issues and be free!!!!! And be ready for the right one.
If you only knew how much God loves you all, and that your identity is in and his love. Not in man. May he heal you and give you perfect peace and completion.
