Our Take On Charles Ling Being The Golden Bachelor

Charles Has A New Lease On Life

Although I love Charles, and I think that he’s a wonderful person, I’m not sure that he’s ready to date over 20 women at a time. He’s just begun to move on after his wife’s passing. Soit might be better for him to date out of the public eye as he navigates his search for love.

On the other hand,Charles embraced every new experience for him onThe Golden Bachelorettewith open arms, from the kickball game to the strip tease group date. Charles had been haunted by the question of why his wife had blood in her mouth when she had her aneurysm, but when fellow contestant andER doctor Guy Gansertexplained to him that she probably bit her tongue, that weight was lifted. Guy told Charles that there was nothing that anyone could’ve done and that he should stop thinking about it.

In that moment, Charles seemed to be reborn. He seemed lighter and happier because he could finally stop wondering about what could have been. In addition, Charles' friendship with Joan and the other men helped to heal him. As he said when he leftThe Golden Bachelorette, he didn’t find love with Joan, but he found a different kind of love in these friendships. As Charles continues to move forward with his life,it would be heartwarming to see him in the lead role onThe Golden Bachelor.
