After infamously dumping both DiAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft on the 11th season of The Bachelor, Brad Womack may be given a second shot at love.  According to Us Magazine, Womack is being considered for the 15th season of the popular dating show.  “Brad is very sincere and believes in the show,” a source close to the series says.  “That’s why he didn’t pick someone last time.  He was never in it for the publicity.  He wants to find a wife.”  Along with Womack, producers are rumored to also be considering bachelors Ty Brown and Chris Lambton for the show.  The official word will be delivered today on Dancing With the Stars. The question is, who would you rather?

Does your guy have a fear of commitment?

Cupid’s Advice:

Sometimes singles can find themselves still hurting from a past breakup or afraid to get out of their comfort zone and try something new.  Cupid has a few tips on how to tell if your beau is afraid to find love:

1. He’s hesitant to put himself out there: Although he’s outgoing and has no problem having a good time, he seems unavailable for anything more than fun and parties.

2. He won’t take the plunge: Is your guy refusing to meet your family?  If so, he might be hesitating because he’s leery of taking the next step in your relationship.

3. Worst-case scenario:  If you’ve decided your beau truly has a fear of commitment, try to stay reasonable.  Talk some sense into him by laying down the facts.  Let him know that the worst that can happen is that you break up sometime in the future, but that the best that can happen is that you’re incredibly happy together.  It’s a small risk to take when the result could be a lifetime of true love.

Two of last season’s bachelors, who appeared on The Bachelorette, may have a second chance at love.  According to People, sources say Chris Lambton and Ty Brown are among those who have been “in serious talks” with ABC about the next season of The Bachelor.  Neither Lambton nor Brown have confirmed as of yet.  Meanwhile, ABC and Warner Horizon, who produce The Bachelor, decline to comment on casting speculation.Can you find true love on reality TV?

Cupid’s Advice:

Reality TV has taken over the airwaves, and many in search of love have turned to the tube to see if they can find their soul mates.  Cupid is here with some advice to help determine if searching for love on TV will result in a prime-time relationship or leave you with nothing but dead air:

1. Let’s get real: Learn to spot the difference between real love and camera love.  Are the contestants actually falling for each other, or are they simply influenced by the desire to become famous and grab as much air time as possible?

2. Don’t get blinded by the spotlight: If you are determined to find true love on a reality show, make sure you define your priorities.  The goal is to find a soul mate, not to let the paparazzi and tabloids dictate your feelings.

3. Avoid playing the desperate role: You have to wonder if people who go on national TV to find love are serious or simply desperate.  According to Starpulse, it’s called “not having anything else to do.”  Being stuck in a house with dozens of other women competing to earn one man’s attention will most definitely make you think you are falling in love, so make sure to separate your sense of competition from actual emotion.

Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky recently ran into an unexpected woman from her past: Vienna Girardi, former fellow contestant and fiancée of Jake Pavelka.  On season six of The Bachelor, Ali and Vienna went head-to-head in a competition for Jake’s heart.  In the end, Vienna snagged Jake, only to have their very public breakup displayed on Ali’s season of The Bachelorette a few months later.  The reality stars came face-to-face again at the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge at Montage Beverly Hills, where they kept the conversation short.  An onlooker told US Weekly, “Ali made sure to keep her distance while hanging with girlfriends,” but both said ‘hi’ briefly.

Should you be friends with your ex’s ex?

Cupid’s Advice:

For many, running into an ex’s ex can resurrect old feelings of the past.  If you chose to befriend this person, you may want to consider these simple points of advice first:

1. Be cautious: It’s important to keep personal information to yourself until you get to know this person better.  Trust is critical and you don’t know if she’s the type who will talk about you behind your back.

2. Learn more: If you’ve decided that she’s trustworthy, you can use your new friendship as a way to better understand your own relationship with your ex.  Learning about her relationship with him helps put your own in perspective.

3. Feelings for the ex: It’s great to be friends with someone who can empathize with you, but if you still have feelings for him, it’s important to be honest.  You don’t want to be surprised when you see the girl you thought was your friend back with the man you both agreed to leave behind forever.
