Bachelor Alum Carly Waddell's Awkward Bar Fiasco

Carly Waddell, known from season 19 of The Bachelor, recently shared a cringe-worthy dating experience via an Instagram video. While out with friends, she felt a connection with a man and decided to give him her phone number. However, upon returning to his table and finding him absent, Waddell experienced a wave of social anxiety, causing her to flee the establishment.

She humorously compared the situation to her middle school days, admitting her nervousness got the better of her. Waddell also revealed that her sister-in-law eventually returned the number, but the man never called, adding a bittersweet punchline to her dating journey.

This dating anecdote follows closely behind Waddell's confirmation that her engagement to lawyer Todd Allen Tressler had been called off about a month prior. She expressed that the decision was not sudden and acknowledged the difficult timing due to her children's school and activity schedules. Waddell stated she feels at peace with the decision, emphasizing the challenges of dating after divorce and with kids.
