Jen Schefft is starting to look like the Runaway Bride but she has just the right answer to those who might want to give her that title. The winner on season three of The Bachelor recently published a book called Better Single than Sorry, where she somehow explains the recent choices she’s made. When Jen Schefft won on The Bachelor, she and then searcher, Andrew Firestone, got engaged and stayed together for nine months only to part ways after. Schefft then went on to star in The Bachelorette where she got to be the one to pick the winner, who turned out to be Jerry Ferris. When Ferris proposed marriage, Schefft turned him down because she said the relationship lacked the chemistry necessary to make it work. Following the string of no-gos to the altar, Schefft became the object of ridicule among the press, some of whom labeled her a spinster while a talk show host remarked that she was destined to be “a bachelorette for the rest of her life.” In what would seem a subtle justification of her decisions, Schefft summed up her book and experiences saying that “settling means being in a relationship that’s anything less than you deserve…It’s being in a relationship that’s not exactly right…for the sake of being in a relationship.” She did stress, however, that she isn’t advocating a no-compromise attitude. In fact, one section in her book is devoted to differentiating between compromise and settling. The chapter is aptly called “Compromise, Yes; Settle, No.” With chapters entitled “Your Time is Precious, Why Waste It?”, “Stop Believing You Can’t Do Better,” “Don’t Talk Yourself into Liking a Guy,” “It Takes Guts to Be on Your Own” among others, Jen Schefft’s casual, conversational manuscript encourages women to embrace their single status while remaining open and receptive to finding the right partner.
