Cupid's Pulse Article: Arie Luyendyk Jr. Is “Pissed” He’s Not the Next ‘Bachelor’Cupid's Pulse Article: Arie Luyendyk Jr. Is “Pissed” He’s Not the Next ‘Bachelor’

By Kaley Allard

Former Bachelorette contestant Arie Luyendyk Jr. will not be given another shot at relationships and love on The Bachelor Season 19, according to  UsMagazine.com, and he’s not happy about it. A source recently said that  Luyendyk is “pissed” that he was not chosen. Luyendyk tweeted his dismay saying, “I’m not the Bachelor. Have fun on the farm people.” Hopefully Luyendyk’s poor attitude and angry social media posts do not affect this years Bachelor pick, Chris Soules.

Even for The Bachelor, finding relationships and love can be difficult. How can you branch out and find new ways of meeting a partner?

Cupid’s Advice: Trying to find ‘the one’ is by no means easy, and for the majority of us, it takes a lot of work. Spending your time trying to find a significant other can become tiresome and you may even feel defeated. Below are three seemingly easy ways to meet new people, and if you’re lucky one could end up being your soul mate:

1. Online dating websites: We have all seen commercials for couples who have found relationships and love on such sites as eHarmony and Match.com. If you aren’t meeting people through friends, family or events, give online dating a try.
