Attention, Bachelorette Fans: E-mail Jason Mesnick!
A single father from Washington State broadcasts his relationship status to the country only to be swamped with letters from adoring female fans.
Sleepless in Seattle, it's not. But Jason Mesnick, a.k.a. the nice guy DeAnna Pappas shot down in favor of Jesse Csincsak on The Bachelorette season finale, may be an even bigger hit with ladies than the Tom Hanks flick.
The 32-year-old single father (his son Ty is 3) has set up a new email account for any fans wishing to contact him.
“I’ve gotten thousands of comments from fans,” Jason Mesnick said.
“The generosity and the kindness is unbelievable. Every one is so sweet and nice. All the comments are pure love.”
After DeAnna Pappas told him in the finale that her “heart is somewhere else,” Jason Mesnick fans overloaded his MySpace account with comments and bombarded ABC with email. Producers finally set up a separate e-mail account just for him.
Fans can contact him directly at fanofjason@gmail.com.
“This really was set up as a way to accommodate his fans who wanted to reach out to him, not as a way of finding a match for him,” an ABC rep says.
Jason Mesnick checks the address once a day and tries to respond to every fan — even if it is just with a simple thank you.
“Every email starts the same. ‘I’ve never done this before and I’m not a stalker,’” he says. “I’ve even gotten a Sleepless in Seattle letter.”
Even if he doesn’t find love online - or become the next star of The Bachelor - Mesnick is feeling pretty good from the responses.
“I don’t care who you are in the world, Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, you have some sort of doubts about yourself,” he says.
“To know that people like me and accept me for who I am feels so good.”

Hi Jason and Molly,
I am a huge fan of the Bachelor but especially when they spotlight nice bachelors like yourself Jason. From our perspective, you looked happy with either one of the final contestants so we would have been happy for you either way but you and you alone know how you feel inside and you and you alone needed to make the final decision. We are totally supportive of you with your decision to drop Melissa and go back with Molly because you know what your heart is saying. During my many years as a single woman, I always reminded myself, don't settle for just any guy because being alone is not half as lonely as being married to the wrong person. Remember that Jason. No one can make those decisions for you and in the end, it has to be the right decision, one that you are comfortable with. Congratulations to you both for following your heart. I think the talk show hosts and the tabloids are all wrong when they say that America (and Canada) hates you now because of wha

He did not break up with her on TV. When Melissa walked out and sat down, she did not have a ring on her finger. I watched for that. They had already broken up. It was just for TV. You can't really get to know somebody when you have cameras in your face, and to make a decision of marriage in
such a short time is not realistic. Marriage is hard enough.
You need time to get to know one another. People break up all the time, except just because of TV he is a horrible person, that's so wrong.I could not have made a decision like that in such a short time, I would of needed time to get to know them more, in a different setting, away from cameras. I think being on a reality show, the cameras the
producers and people pushing you into things, you are not
in the right mind set, and to really think clearly. I hope
Jason and Molly really connect and find true happiness and
love.

For Jason Mesnick
You are starting out in this new life together. I am 76 and my husband is 81...lying ahead are many celebrations, and I hope the sorros are very few for you three.
You did the right thing Jason, no question in my mind. You found your relationship with Melissa to be incompatible. It is far better that you had the integrity and honor to say goodbye and follow your heart.
All four of your lives will be much happier, Jason, because you were brave and strong.
My very best to you, Ty and Molly!
With a heart full of love,
Barbara Day

OMG Doug, reread what you wrote that was horrible. I understand what you mean BUT As A Mom of a 22 year girl and and 3 sons, I applaud Jason for telling Melissa how he feels. Would you rather have him marry Melissa feeling the way he does. "NOT"...He truely felt like he was making the right choice, BUT after getting to know Melissa, he found that she was not the right one. How does anyone truely know someone in that kind of setting. So I say give Jason a break, he wanted to tell Melissa, but under the rules of the show he had to tell her live on air. That is not his fault. Jason go with your heart it may end up after you really get to know Molly she won't be right for you either. Or you not right for her. But you did the right thing by letting Melissa go, and not leading her on. ABC is wrong for not letting you tell her off air. I blame the network, not you.
