ABCAs yet another sign that the current season of The Bachelor is ACES, I've spent more time this week wondering how Chris Soules will be spending his Valentine's Day than planning my own.
As any good Bachelor fan should do.
So what can Chris himself tell us?
Well, for starters, no longer having a massive production team planning his dates with his chosen girl—whom Chris himself has said he's "in love with"—is definitely not easy.
"It does [make it tricky]," Chris tells me, "especially when we don't see each other obviously that often… I'm kind of a little bit of a procrastinator so…"
The fan-favorite Iowan, who has narrowed his pool of women down to five—Britt, Whitney, Kaitlyn, Becca and Jade—added that "anything homemade is good. She likes those kinds of things…"
Hmmmm!
He also hinted that he's not really yet into any sort of wedding-planning stage. "Haven't got to that step yet." Check out the exclusive video above for more from Chris!
The Bachelor airs on two nights this week, with a Sunday night "Chris Tell All" special, in which Kelsey, Chris Soules and recently "heartbroken" Andi Dorfman sit down with Chris Harrison. And a second episode on Monday night, in which the ladies go with .
"You'll see on Monday in the two hours," Chris Harrison tells me, "especially when [Chris] goes back to Iowa, he wants somebody and he is scared to death that this won't work. That when these women see his barn and see where they're going, they're going to run. It scares the hell out of him. He truly knows that this is as good a chance as he'll ever have."
Chris, buddy, we are pulling for you!
