Juliana Pasquarosa Gets ‘Back to Dating’ and Vents About Dating App Struggles
Getting candid.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know Juliana Pasquarosa on Season 29 of “The Bachelor,” where she fell in love and got engaged to Grant Ellis.
A few months ago, the two both took to their Instagram pages to confirm they have unfortunately ended their engagement and broken up.
Since then, Juliana has been loving keeping fans updated with her life online. And this week, the Bachelor Nation star took to social media to reveal that she started dating again.
In a new post online, she said, “So I downloaded a couple of dating apps last night and then I un-downloaded them.”
Juliana continued, describing her experience on the dating apps and how it wasn’t what she expected.
“When I was filling out the information, it was basic information,” she said. “I’m 5’3” and a quarter, I’m right outside of Boston (Boston area), I work in finance, I’m a female interested in men. And then, and then it’s asking, ‘what are you interested in?’ And the options are like, ‘long term relationship’ and I’m like duh. Isn’t that why we’re all here? No! Because now some people are into ‘open to short.’ I don’t even know what that means.”
Juliana then began venting while describing more of the possible “dating” options she found.
“Are you putting a time limit on it? Are we saying ‘Hey I’m really interested in you. I think I’m going to be interested for four months, wanna try it?’ It’s like okay well if you’re interested in short, wouldn’t the end goal be long?” she stated.
“And then there was the option ‘Just here for fun. Just looking for a good time.’ Like don’t f*ing piss me off. Don’t piss me off, go to a bar. Go to a bar if you’re just looking for fun. Why are you wasting time on an app if you’re just looking for fun? It’s not fun here! I’m done. I downloaded them, I tried it for ten minutes and I’m done.”
Juliana captioned the post, “back to dating in the wild I suppose” and followers filled the comments with their own similar experiences.
Fellow Bachelor Nation star Lexi Colette also commented, “Need to get you at one of my events ❤” and Juliana replied, “Been looking for a reason to come to NYC 🤭”
We always love hearing from Juliana and we’re continuing to send our love as she navigates this new chapter. We’re wishing her all the best!
