Andi Dorfman Opens Up About Her Secret to Being Single in her 30s: ‘Proof to Never Settle’
Love yourself!
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Andi Dorfman on Season 18 of “The Bachelor” and as the Season 10 Bachelorette.
Andi eventually found love off-screen with fiancé Blaine Hart, who she met in her mid-30s, and the two are currently planning their wedding day.
Now, Andi is opening up on social media about being single in her 30s and shares advice for others who may be going through a chapter similar to hers.
Alongside a photo of herself smiling on the beach, Andi wrote, “This one is for everyone who is single and has recently been asking me what the secret to being single in your thirties (and beyond) is. I think I can sum it up in this one photo when I was 34 years old and very much SINGLE. It was about a month before my life changed forever in meeting Blaine, but I had no idea what was in store for me. “

The former Bachelorette continued on, writing, “When I look back at this picture, it makes me smile because I can see how genuinely happy I am despite being single and in my thirties. It hasn’t always been easy, trust me, but somewhere along the road I learned to build my own happiness. I realized everyone has a different path and different timing and so you've got two options: think you’re not good enough and get down on yourself OR dance on tables and relish the moment you are in.”
Andi shared that she wouldn’t change her path or timeline for anything, and that she loved being single to learn more about herself.
She concluded her post saying, “I LOVED being single, truly! I learned about myself, I cheered for myself, I had amazing experiences by myself, and while of course I feel fortunate to have found the love I have now, I’ll never regret not settling and finding the joy in my wild and crazy path. Even if at times the path seemed bleak and lonely. The way I see it, you have one life to live and you owe it to yourself to live the best life possible, so don’t be afraid to give it to YOURSELF!”

Andi also shared a love note Blaine left her in her car and wrote, “Proof to never settle… Even if it takes you 35 years to find it. Blaine, you are the sweetest!”
Many of Andi’s fellow Bachelor Nation stars flooded the comments of her post with love for this entire sentiment.
Amanda Stanton wrote, “I mean this in the most respectful way to our angel husbands/fiancés (bc they’re the best ever) but…I miss being single w you!!! Best memories EVER! ILYSM!”
Nikki Ferrell added, “Love this. Love you.”
And Kelsey Weier commented the clapping hands emojis.
We love this and couldn’t love Andi’s positive outlook more!
