This may just be the shortest “romance” in history. Jennifer Love Hewitt made no bones about her infatuation with former Bachelorette contestant Ben Flajnik, tweeting about him multiple times.
Hewitt, 32, began pursuing the 28-year-old winemaker right after the finale aired, according to a source.
“Omg! Ben f (accept) my final rose !!! I love that ring. Neil lane u rock!! Happy for Ashley… Gotta book a flight to Sonoma !!!:):)” she posted on Twitter on August 2nd.
“Let’s get Ben f to be a lovely! (Jennifer calls her Twitter followers “lovelys”)(So) I can give him twugs and twisses!!!:)” said another tweet on the same day.
“Aaaaaaahhhhhh Ben f is following me!!!!! You lovelys are the best!!!!:):) sending a million roses to u guys too,” she later tweeted.
Lots more tweets followed, such as, “Could be magic! Don’t let what someone hurt you with in the past make you miss the best thing in your present !” and, “You can’t love and fear at the same time. It’s either or….And we all know love (is) better!”
On August 4, Jennifer tweeted, “@BenFlajnik good morning! Rise and shine time for wine, funny!whAts your fav red or white?”
“I’m so excited for the weekend!!! :)” Jennifer posted on August 5th, following it up with “”I’m scared” really means Im afraid u are not the one. telling the truth isn’t scary at all, and no mess to clean up……”
Jennifer flew to San Francisco and met Ben for lunch at Lion’s Pub on Saturday, where they were spotted getting cozy.
“Morning lovelys… Who knew Saturday’s could be so exciting and fun!:)” she tweeted before the lunch date.
“Morning lovelys! I got lost in the most amazing sat! Just when you think u can’t be surprised.. You are and it’s awesome!” she tweeted Sunday morning.
Things looked promising. (insert sound of record scratching)
Apparently, Ben wasn’t feeling the love.
“Jennifer Love Hewitt was obsessed with Ben Flajnik on the show and so she had her people reach out to him and she flew all the way out to San Fransisco just to see him and have lunch with him,” says an insider. “He wasn’t into her – he like totally wasn’t feeling it,” the insider adds.
Flajnik even addressed the rumor himself, posting on Twitter, “Dear Rumor Mill, I am not dating anyone. Far too busy with work right now @evolvewines to even think about it. Go Giants. Out.”
Ouch.
Better luck next time Jen. May we suggest that you curb your enthusiasm just a wee bit in the future? I’m gonna say that tweeting about love prior to actually meeting a guy in person may be overwhelming. IJS
