The Bachelorette premieres in July, and four of the season 19 men are sharing what they think makes a perfect date. For the first time ever, the show features dual leads who are looking for love. Best friends Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia were announced as co-leads after they appeared on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor earlier this year. Gabby, a 31-year-old ICU nurse from Denver and Rachel, a 26-year-old pilot and flight instructor from Clermont, Florida were both sent home after Clayton chose Susie Evans as his true love. Clayton and Susie are still in a relationship, while Gabby and Rachel recently completed their journeys on The Bachelorette.
Throughout the last 20 years, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have featured fun, exciting, and romantic dates that have taken the contestants to various locations around the United States and all over the world. Last season, Rachel and Clayton went horseback riding, watched a private Restless Road concert, and went on a helicopter ride in Iceland. Clayton's dates with Gabby included a taking helicopter ride over downtown Toronto, playing street hockey, and riding ATVs in Iceland. Most one-on-one dates on the shows end with romantic dinners during which the couples have time to talk and get to know each other.
In hand-written notes presented by Bachelor Nation, four of the men from The Bachelorette season 19 answered the prompt, "My idea of a perfect date..." Roby, a 33-year-old magician, wrote, "I'm sorry if I can't word a perfect date as one particular thing, because it isn't!" He went on to say that a perfect date is "experiencing new thrill, new beauties, new sights, new adventures, with someone you care about!" Jordan V., a 27-year-old drag racer, said that his idea of a perfect date is a dinner with a beautiful view, followed by "a long conversation getting to know each other on a deeper level."
The Bachelorette season 19 contestant Jordan H., a 35-year-old software developer, wrote that on his perfect date he would "take my truck to the drive-up beach with a bottle of wine and watch the sunset." Chris, a 30-year-0ld mentality coach, thinks that the perfect date would be "some personal time with my date at the house before leaving." He went to say that the date would involve "taking some sort of travel," such as a car ride or a plane ride. There would be "some good food before an event," such as a music concert or a live sports game. The date would include "some kind of spontaneous adventure and maybe some dessert... Then returning back to the house, hotel, or ocean..."
These four men from Bachelorette season 19 seem as though they know how to bring spontaneity, fun, and romance to a date. No matter what Gabby and Rachel's season has in store for them, they seem ready to enjoy their time with either of the women. All of these men included personal time to really get to know the women on their perfect dates, so it appears as though they were there for the right reasons. It will not be a surprise if either Gabby or Rachel gives one of them a rose.
The Bachelorette season 19 premieres July 11 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
