The Bachelorette: Interview with Constantine - "I did not Have Feelings of Marriage for Ashley."
Ashley and Constantine on The Bachelorette
Guy D'Alema/ABC
PEOPLE.com spoke with him exclusively at the recent Men Tell All taping about his sudden exit, his current romantic status, and who has his vote to be the next Bachelor.
It was shocking to see one of the final three contenders walk away. What went wrong?
You can't really put your finger on one thing. You either have a feeling or you don't. I knew that the next step was a serious one. My feelings were not strong enough at that point to justify sticking around and possibly going through with that next step of getting engaged.
Were you falling for her at all?
Of course I had feelings for her, but they weren't feelings of marriage. I think she felt the same way.
Did you make the right decision or do you have regrets now?
You make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I didn't feel it was the right thing to do to stick around if I had doubts. It wouldn't be fair to her. I don't regret it and she has obviously found happiness with J.P. or Ben so she probably doesn't either.
Your hometown date went so well and your family genuinely seemed to like her. How did your parents handle the breakup?
My parents backed me 100 percent. I had their blessings before I left to go and see if I could find love and to do whatever felt right for me. They stand behind the decision I made. My parents did like her and I thought that date went well. But that is not enough of a reason to marry someone. When I got back, we discussed the decision to leave and told them how I came to it and they felt I did the right thing.
Had this been a normal-paced, non-televised dating situation, could you have gotten there with Ashley?
It's interesting because I have since met somebody and I knew there was something special about her in the first five or 10 days of meeting her. I knew that I threw out all the hesitations that I had experienced with Ashley. It is because she is the right person. So I don't think [Ashley and I] not working out had to do with the accelerated process. It just has to do with whether two people are connecting on a real level. Had I connected with Ashley on that level it, would have been a totally different storyline. It just didn’t happen that way.
Does that mean you aren't single now?
Not in my heart, no.

Yeah, right! It was pretty obvious as early as the Hong Kong episode that he was not into her.....

Personally if Constantine knew Ames had stronger feelings for Ashley than he did, he should've pulled out after the hometowns. It's almost as bad as Frank waiting to tell Ali on the Fantasy Dates he was leaving costing Kirk a chance at the Fantasy Date. After all, what was Constantine hoping to happen in Fiji???

What I find odd - is Constatine didn't say TWO words about his exit? I really thought he'd take the hot seat. There was also a lot of stuff they filmed that they didn't air.

I noticed that too and thought it odd. As the third man standing, Chris should have talked to him. I really
think the religion card was a part of it. If you read Chris Harrison's interview, he said a lot went on during that
last date, and they cut it out and finally gave us the part where they agree not to go on. And I agree with Marueen, why go to Fiji if you know you are going no further? Maybe being in Fiji really brought it home for
him and he arealized he needed out NOW.

He wants to go and experience Fiji....
During that episode when Ames got the boot, his face lit up when he learned that they were going to Fiji.....

I think Constatine is sweet. BUT, if religion was that important to him from the beginning - then he should have talked to her about it - A LOT sooner! To me, that just seems odd! I mean, did he finally discover his religion during the filming? Maybe? I can't say. But TO ME, if religion ultimately is what made him decide to leave, then he needed to talk to her about that A LOT sooner! That's just my personal opinion.

Yes, he should have left along with Mickey in Hong Kong. He was angry, said some things and then finally said he's done.....
