Gia choked up watching the video of she and Jake's journey. She told viewers that she wanted to tell Jake she was in love with him for so long, but every time she tried to say it, she froze up. She also said she kept hoping that he knew.

Although she got her heart broken, Gia said that being on "The Bachelor" was a good experience for her.

"I wish I had more confidence... Being on "The Bachelor" was probably the best experience of my life. I never imagined knowing myself. I thought I knew myself. I was so closed in the past, I never wanted to talk about feelings. I really learned how to express myself. I really learned what I'm looking for, what I want, what I need. The next guy that I meet, I am telling him how I feel," she said.

Find out what other women had to say at the Women Tell All special:

Michelle - "I don't need a therapist."

Ali - "If I could go back and do it differently, I probably would."

Rozlyn - "What I'm saying is the truth. I can't put pieces together."
