While it’s true that not every woman in the United States was obsessed with "The Bachelorette," several still watched it. Regardless if they wanted to cheer on JoJo, wanted to feel in the loop, or just wanted to be entertained by “reality” TV, we cannot deny that at least one person we know was part of the "Bachelorette" fan club community.

I admit that I got sucked into the season myself. From day one I decided I would keep up and see which heart JoJo would be breaking (cough cough Luke) and shoo away every guy who said “I love you,” after she basically made them say it to her!

Sound unrealistic? Well, in all honesty, that’s because it is.

There is nothing “real” about "The Bachelorette" (and the same goes for related television shows).

Dear girls, please do not think that what happens on the "Bachelor" shows are realistic ways to find true love. Do we see everything that happens on the show? No, we don’t. But are we truly convinced that the couple who becomes engaged truly are in love? Do the two truly know each other well enough to know whether that person is the perfect fit?

While watching "The Bachelorette," I couldn’t help but notice how many guys JoJo was having moments with. Kissing, staring into each other’s eyes and being open with each other. It’s one thing to experience that with one person, but to experience that with several men within the same time period?

I don’t think I could handle that.

I couldn’t imagine sharing those moments of closeness with anyone else besides my boyfriend, and in general could not handle it with more than one guy.

My other concern is whether the feelings and moments are truly genuine. Think about it, JoJo goes on this show with 22 men to start out, and while within the first half of the season, several are sent home already, the remaining people know that a proposal by the end of the season is expected.

How can that not make everything feel forced? Did JoJo truly enjoy the dating experience, or was everything forced a bit because she had to make herself feel something for these guys? Do these guys truly love JoJo, or are they convincing themselves that something besides a little spark exists?

Do these guys really want to propose, or do they just have to? I get that not everyone believes in soulmates, but I still find it hard to believe (especially because almost none of the couples last) that these people are finding “the one.”

Dear girls, while it’s a fun show to watch, please don’t believe that these shows are realistic when it comes to love.
