NEW YORK (AP) — Though he wasn't picked in the finale of "The Bachelorette," Jason Mesnick isn't just giving love another shot — he says he's found it.

Mesnick, ABC's newest "Bachelor," says he's engaged to one of the women who compete for his affection on the reality series, which premieres Monday night. The 32-year-old accountant has finished filming "The Bachelor," but can't reveal his pick until the finale.

Mesnick says being pursued by 25 women made him empathetic to "Bachelorette" DeAnna Pappas, who chose snowboarder Jesse Csincsak (Sin-Sac) over him.

Says Mesnick: "It gives you a lot more respect for what she had to go through."

Csincsak and Pappas have since broken up.

  • If Jason does what the blogs are saying he does I hope is is not happy. I first really like him and was hopeful but if he dumps someone and turns to another he is a bumb.

  • I really hope he didn't end up going back to DeAnna - she doesn't deserve him. I am pretty shocked by the final three choices - I only see one of them being worthy of Jason's affection (Jillian) - I sure hope that's who he picked.

  • Yeah!! Jason, I'm praying that this is the happy ending you've been looking for. You deserve it. You seem like a well rounded and grounded guy. If any one can make it work - you can.
