Jef Holm (with one F) says taking it slow with Emily Maynard and making her pursue him too was his plan from the start on ABC’s The Bachelorette. The 27-year-old entrepreneur – like Arie Luyendyk, Jr. and Sean Lowe – is rumored to be a finalist this summer, and spoke about it with reporters. Emily’s alleged final three (according to The Bachelorette spoilers , anyway) have all given interviews while still on the show, a first for the TV franchise. Here are some things Jef Holm shared about his pursuit of Emily: On taking it easy : “Every guy was going full steam ahead for Emily, surrounding and swarming her. That’s not how I am with girls. I was the only guy who played it cool. I wanted her to know she’d have to fight for and pursue me, too.” On not kissing Emily until London : “I wasn’t ready to take it to the next level. If we developed feelings, I want them to [go] both ways.” “We started off slowly but we developed a really good friendship. As time goes on, that friendship turns into more and more of a romance.” On falling for Emily Maynard : “She’s the most amazing girl I’ve ever met.” “I had no idea how well spoken and smart she is. She’s a great mom – patient, loving, good in difficult situations, composed, sassy, sarcastic. And she’s gorgeous.” “She’s always herself and doesn’t care if cameras are watching her.” On potentially being a stepfather : “I would love to skateboard and play soccer with [Ricki] and that’s something Emily and I connected over.” “I can’t wait to be a dad. At this point on the show, in Prague, I could definitely see myself being a father to Ricki and a husband to Emily. On his competition : “There were some amazing guys there. I think the world of Arie. Sean Lowe is a faithful, genuine guy. Chris and Doug are great.” On whether he’d be The Bachelor : “I learned a lot about myself and met an amazing person so I’m glad I went … but probably not.” Who do you think Emily should choose?
