As this season of "The Bachelorette" wraps up and JoJo Fletcher hands out her final rose, the show's fans now have to wait until January for a new season of "The Bachelor." JoJo had an interesting cast of characters vying for her love this season (Chad, anyone?) but if there's one that is the perfect choice to get a second chance at love as the Bachelor, it's Luke Pell, the Texas-based Army vet that had his heart broken after inviting JoJo to meet his family in his hometown. In case anyone isn't convinced, here are some reasons why Luke would make the best Bachelor.
1. He's a Southern gentleman
Luke is the epitome of a true, Southern gentleman. Kind, humble, and charming enough to make any girl swoon. Sign us up.
2. He fought for his country.
As an Army vet who fought in Afghanistan and lost friends to war, Luke understands that life is too short. One of the reasons America fell in love with him on "The Bachelorette" is because of his life perspective that serving in the military gave him, and would certainly make us root for him to find a wife as the Bachelor.
3. He makes a great first impression.
When Luke first rode up to JoJo on his own version of a unicorn, we were hooked. Getting to watch him week after week with JoJo left the perfect first impression on us to set him up as the next leading man on "The Bachelor."
4. He's a romantic.
Case in point, his hometown date with JoJo. The fact that he set up a private picnic for them which led to a giant heart made out of flower petals where he declared his heart belonged to her still has our hearts melting. It was basically straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel and it still baffles us how JoJo sent him packing after it.
5. He's easy on the eyes.
This one is superficial, but for good measure. I mean, just have a look at him. Bonus points for playing the guitar, too. We'd accept his rose.
