In case you haven’t started watching this season's Bachelor starring the tall, dark, and handsome Ben Higgins, it's not to late to start. He is a gorgeous, small-town boy who grew up in Indiana. He is respectful, amazing with kids (as he proved last season when he had to explain reproduction to a bunch of elementary school kids) and the perfect guy to bring home to mom and dad. He is athletic, funny, respectful and wants a family. Ben has told us that he believes that he is unlovable, but after watching him on the Bachelor, I think I speak for all girls across the nation when I say that he is 100% lovable. If this season doesn’t work out for him, women everywhere will celebrate.

My favorite thing about Ben though is that at one point, he was this guy…

Yes, that awkward young guy on the left in the bright blue shirt is Ben Higgins. This is him pre-blossomed as a college student at Indiana University. This image reminds us all that he wasn't always this gorgeous, untouchable bachelor.

Ben Higgins was once one of us, living on ramen and wearing shower shoes.

It wasn't that long ago that he was a typical student in college going to sorority formals and chugging beer. This college photo of Ben will give girls everywhere hope! Hold on to the nice guys, ladies, because they could turn out to be the Ben Higgins of the group.

We wish you the best of luck, Ben, and hope you find your future wife. However, if it doesn’t work out…I’m always available. I’ll be in Indiana during Valentines Day, see you there.
