Charles Ling, a former contestant on “The Golden Bachelorette,” has revealed that he has been the recipient of numerous messages from interested women. In a recent podcast episode of “Bachelor Happy Hour,” cohost Kathy Swarts inquired about women sliding into Charles’ direct messages, to which the 66-year-old replied affirmatively, stating that there have been quite a few. Despite the attention, Charles admitted that he has not responded to any of these messages as he feels he is yet to find the right person.
Surprised by his inaction, Kathy encouraged Charles to take the leap and start communicating with these women. Charles, however, expressed his cautious approach, mentioning that he may be waiting for the perfect match. Seeking guidance on how to proceed, Charles turned to former Bachelor contestants Kathy and Susan Noles for advice.
The trio engaged in a discussion about dating strategies, with Kathy and Susan suggesting various approaches for Charles to explore. While Charles indicated that he has not delved into dating apps or accepted offers for blind dates, he mentioned that he holds onto the hope of meeting someone organically during his travels.
Reflecting on his time on “The Golden Bachelorette,” Charles shared that the experience has allowed him to open up about his emotions and sorrows. Grateful for the friendships formed on the show, particularly with Joan Vassos, Charles acknowledged the importance of moving on and embracing new opportunities.
Despite his positive outlook, Charles remains open to the possibility of finding love outside the confines of reality TV. Expressing his desire for a chance encounter with a special someone, Charles emphasized the significance of genuine connection and mutual affection in any relationship.
Charles’ journey on “The Golden Bachelorette” may not have ended with a proposal, but his optimism and readiness for new beginnings showcase his resilient spirit and unwavering hope for a lasting romantic connection.
