With The Bachelor premiering next month, Ben Flajnik is spilling some details about his upcoming season and claiming that actress Jennifer Love Hewitt wanted to take him off the market before ABC had the chance!
Us Weekly confirms that Ben went on one date with the 32-year-old actress before signing on to become The Bachelor. A witness spotted the pair on an awkward seeming “first date” at Lion’s Pub in San Francisco this August. “It seemed like a first date, but he wasn’t overly affectionate,” the witness reported, adding that Jennifer seemed very interested in Ben! “As the bar started to close she grabbed his hand and marched outside.”
Ben confirms that Jennifer initiated everything! “She had reached out to me and wanted to come up to the winery so she did with some friends,” Ben explained.
“She’s a nice girl, but… after this is all said and done, I want to go back to Northern California to my normal life,” he disclosed. “Ending up with a Hollywood celebrity is not something I ever imagined doing.” Well, good thing he had 25 more eligible bachelorettes to choose from! Other reports have also claimed Ben thought Jennifer was a little cray-cray!
Speaking of the upcoming season, Ben reveals he is happy he participated in the show. Now that filming has completed Ben is happily settling into his life post-reality TV, but did he find love? Zap2It covered a recent press conference Ben did to advertise the new season and he’s not giving away any details!
“I’m happy with my decision in doing the show. Another good experience, another cathartic, therapeutic adventure… I can’t tell you [if I'm happy with the outcome]. I’m happy with the experience, I’m happy I decided to become the bachelor,” Ben divulged. “I have no regrets about anything that I did. I feel like my decisions were well thought out and I’ll leave it at that.”
“When that first limo pulled up, sheer panic and terror set in. It took the first few ladies for me to kind of settle in. Your heart is racing, it’s nerve-wracking on both sides,” Ben said, describing the initial meet-n-greet with the women.
After going through the process himself, Ben is empathetic to the choice his former love Ashley Hebert faced and understands being torn between two people. “You’re obviously trying to figure out a lot of things along the way and it’s a difficult situation. Easily the hardest thing I’ve had to do in my entire life,” Ben recounted. “You’re always thinking about each individual relationship, where it’s going, where it’s not going. It’s difficult.”
While we’re all wondering if Ben will be walking down the aisle, Bachelor host Chris Harrison isn’t giving anything away either only commenting that Ben is “in the right place to find love.”

ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT WANTED TO GO ON A DATE WITH BEN? DO YOU THINK BEN PROPOSED ON HIS SEASON?
Oh god that Jennifer Love Hewitt, poor pathetic thing LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say she removes “Love” entirely. I think it’s the reason she has bad luck in the “Love” department.
@2 Cupcake, that could be it, you never know!
I dont think is that great of him to talk about a woman and why things did not work out. After all, she is a TV actress and he is… well who is this guy? Then again, those are the creeps on that show,so its great!…not
So he’s not into beautiful women with huge racks? Idiot! He’s lucky Jennifer even called his sorry ass!!!!
@4 Shutit, who cares if she is an actress, she makes it a habit of going after anything with a pulse that she see’s on tv, she is her own worst enemy
Awww I hate to hear about her love problems. I always heard she was such a nice girl.
I can imagine Hewitt reading self-help books, surrounded by cats, while eating peanut butter out of a jar. I have watched her in interviews and I have witnessed a little crazy. I thought I was being too judgmental, but apparently she is!

@8Cupcake LOL!!!!!
Ben Flajnik Cream Dreams
‘t talk about a woman or how our date went, especially one that is “famous” unless I want to promote myself… thats all. She on the other hand, obviously has trouble finding someone that sticks around!
Well HE ISN’T MY TYPE.
That got cut off Bryan lol just saying I agree with you about JLOH but he is using her in a way to promote himself because she is a”famous” tv actress.
Chasing is never good.
Everyone know Jennifer Love H. is a nut with men. No surprise she watches the Bachelor and fell for one of them.
One of her exes, the boy band guy that has since died of cancer, Cronin? something, spilled the beans on her on the radio. She was cheating on him, and she bought him a ring, and then ran into this other guy she dated and bought him the SAME ring and the same speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjTI9wNG7_s
Warning it is Stern. He talks about her and his cancer.
@15 I didn’t know Cronin had died,felt bad for JLOH because she could never find anybody…..but that link! Wow what a crazy psycho the girl is no wonder she is paying for everything she did! I believe Rich rip:(
Bad form to talk about a first date in a negative way, when you know it will turn up all over the internet. Have you no shame? This guy comes across like a real loser. Will not watch the show.
