Bachelor 2012 Ben Flajnik says hearing Courtney Robertson say I love you made it all worth it. Now this is getting very sad and unfortunate for Ben Flajnik. The mans heart is invested in a person who only cares about herself and winning a competition. Ben took to his People.com blog, and gushed about how good it made him feel to hear Courtney say, “I love you.”

During Courtney’s hometown date, she surprised Ben with those three little words that he had been desperate to hear. She set up a mock wedding and “poured” her heart out to him. “Little did I know how much this elaborate setting would allow her to pour her heart out,” Ben writes. “Hearing Courtney tell me she loves me made it all worth it.”

Ben was anxious to meet her parents because he’s head over heels for Courtney. “I was nervous about how this day was going to go because I had real feelings for this woman,” he admits. “I also had concerns about her based on what the other women were saying, but seeing her away from the other girls made me feel like her behavior was circumstantial.”

“Meeting Courtney’s family was a very welcoming experience,” Ben continues. “It felt very familiar to me because I lived in Arizona for some time so it almost felt like home. Her parents’ Saltillo-tiled floor reminded me of my parents’ house, and it was a good, nostalgic feeling. Rick was a true gentleman, and I appreciated all the advice he gave me.”

It’s almost as if she spoke to a close friends because Courtney planned a date that resulted in Ben feeling as if she was being genuine. “I picnic a lot back in San Francisco, and I loved that Courtney had planned this for our day,” Ben remembers. “My date with her felt really natural, and I have to give her props because she was really bold to assume that I would play along with a mock wedding.”

“All in all, it was a great hometown date,” Ben says. I wonder how many other men Courtney has brought home, maybe that’s why her parents have the whole charm act down to a science. They did, after all, raise the master manipulator. Follow us on Facebook by clicking here.
