After Bachelorette star Jillian Harris met his family, contestant Michael Stagliano found himself on a lonely ride home.
The breakdancer Michael had nothing but good things to say about Jillian even after she let him go.
"I just want you to know that I'm okay," Michael told Jillian at the Men Tell All show. "I haven't dated anybody yet, since the show. But when I do, I'm thankful I got to meet you, because I'll be that much wiser and will know what I'm looking for."
After the Men Tell All taping, Michael and the other men of The Bachelorette partied with past season contestants like Jason Mesnick, his girlfriend Molly Malaney, Deanna Pappas and Holly Durst (who appeared on Matt Grant's season of The Bachelor).
Word is spreading that Holly caught Michael's eye that weekend. According to her Twitter updates, she recently traveled to New York (where Michael lives). "I'm really happy. He's absolutely amazing," Holly writes. In another update: "Listening to him play the guitar and sing."
If it's true that Michael is taken, he likely won't be a contender to take the spot of the next Bachelor star. In a viewer poll on ABC.com, he's taking 15% of the votes and it's clear many viewers would like to see more of him on the series. Jake Pavelka is the clear winner in popularity, however, taking more than half the votes.
Has Michael found what he is looking for?

You're SO right! They are TOTALLY dating!!
Such a shame! He could do better...
So Holly is running around after EVERYONE'S leftovers?
he can do 10x better...
and jake SHOULD BE the next bachelor
vh1 and matv's dumb dating shows can take Wes lol
I loved Michael, he had a great personality, Holly is really lucky. I wish them nothing but happiness.
What does it matter if he can do better according to you? I know Mike and he's extremely happy with Holly, isn't that all that matters?
He needs me, i so lover everything about him!
He's exactly what i'm looking for!!! Michael call me!
I want Kiptyn to be the next Bachelor.
Holly must be in competition with Laurel (Wes, Brad & the other bachelor)
smallest dating pool ever!
Didn't Holly date Jesse too, DeAnna's ex fiance?
Kipton or Jake should be the next bachlor!
Let's make Juan or Jake the next Bachelor. They are serious about finding love and a wife and are more mature. Bachelor/Bachelorette has never done that before. It would be a change and with the different personalities the women bring to the show, it shouldn't be boring.
They act like they are still in High School. Guess these girls still want their 15 minutes of fame. Nothing like wanting to be seen in the media at any cost...no shame.
Facebook and twitter don't lie. It does seem like Holly lives in a small world. but who are we to judge.....if they are happy..great.
why the hell would he date her wow
