Dina Lupancu:I think Im someone where its like what you see is what you get.
Im never going to be fake nice, and Im never going to be mean-spirited.
you could look so catty and it can look so mean.

And Im not that person at all.
And if you know me, Im just speaking what Im thinking in that moment.
But it doesnt necessarily have any weight to it.
The Bachelor’s Dina and Grant
So yeah, Ive had those moments for sure.
Im like, Oh, Dina, dont do that.
No, I dont feel like I have to explain myself.
Im not somebody that will do that.
And Im not going to take a stab at change their mind.
Just like how someone that might have the wrong impression of me might be really positive.
Im not going to go in there and be like, Oh, actually you got that wrong.
So I try not to control the narrative.
As soon as you have a go at control the narrative, you have already lost.
So I dont do that.
My gut reaction was, Im not surprised because he had some really amazing women at the end.
So not surprised in a good way that he would have trouble?
I knew that he would have trouble, so it was not surprising to me.
I think what was surprising to me though was that it was the day of [the proposal].
I was like, That was a little crazy.
So Im at the edge of my seat just like everyone else.
Is there a woman who you think might be the better fit for him?
Not who he chooses, but who is the better fit based on what you know?
Its so hard for me to say that because I think were not all just one-dimensional.
When you look at Litia, you see somebody who is so ready for marriage.
I think with Juliana, shes fun, and she can bring a lively environment to a family.
If youre gravitating toward that, then thats what you would want as well.
I think with Zoe, its the same thing.
They both have so many different qualities that they bring to a relationship.
So whats next for you?
Are you dating now or are you looking to go onBachelor in Paradisepotentially?
I dont want to date.
Its so daunting to me.
So I dont know how Im going to do it.Paradise, I dont know.
Its a big unknown for me right now.
I just dont like giving people a chance.
How come you dont like giving people a chance?
Because its so much effort to not get a first-year result.
And Im so logical that Im just like, Im not doing this for fun.
I want to do things that are genuinely for sure a good time.
But my brains like, It needs to work out or else its not worth my time.
Stupid, [I know].
I understand in the sense that I would rather be friends with a guy first.
Im just not good with the pressure that comes with a first or second date.
And then you have to foster that relationship.
Im such a fiercely loyal person.
Thats daunting to me.
I need to stop though.
I need to figure it out.
I have to do it eventually.
Itll happen when it needs to happen.
I feel like what is going to work will find you.
But that doesnt mean that you hide yourself.
Well, thats what Ive been doing.
Its just important to be out and about, and dont close yourself off.
That I can do.
And if dating is too daunting, then just dont put yourself in that position right now.
Yeah, Im not.
I gave myself until summer, so I have a few more months.
And if not,Paradiseis always a potential option.
Yeah, if I go.
Its a toss-up for me.
