Last night on the finale of "The Bachelor" 2017 everyone saw Nick Viall propose to Vanessa Grimaldi and leave Raven Gates behind with a Broken Heart. Now Raven is sharing that she was feeling really positive about things going into the final rose ceremony. Fans were surprised that Nick didn't pick her, but so was Raven.
Raven knew she wasn't the only one
Raven wasn't crazy and knew that she wasn't the only one left. She knew Vanessa was still there trying to win Nick, but that didn't change her opinion on how it was going to end for her. Raven Gates was sure that she would be the one who ended the show with a ring on her finger.
Raven shared saying, "I was realistic with another person being there, but I was also very confident in what we had because we were so fun-loving, had such a great time with each other. I think maybe a lot of people thought that I was naive, but I wasn’t."
Last night on "After the Final Rose," she was very classy. Raven Gates explained that she didn't want anything negative for them and wished him happiness. Raven also revealed that she was going to be on "Bachelor in Paradise" this summer, which is really exciting for her. Hopefully, she can find love there like so many couples have in the past. Raven also said, "I wanted to be so optimistic in what we had. I was always optimistic. I definitely thought I was going to get engaged that day.
I think you can see on my face how shocked I was." She handled it well on the show, but you could tell it was hard for her.
Raven Gates may not have found love on "The Bachelor," but that doesn't mean that her journey is over. The fans can't wait to see what fan favorites they bring to "Bachelor in Paradise" for her to meet.
It could end up being some really great guys, and maybe that is where she will meet her perfect match instead. Jade and Tanner Tolbert met on the show and are even now expecting their first child together.
