Katie Thurston Shares How The Bachelorette Changed Her Outlook On Dating

Bachelorette Katie Thurston has finally found the love that she’s been searching for. She is engaged to comedian Jeff Arcuri.

Now, as she and her fiance prepare to ring in the new year in Oklahoma City, she went to Instagram to answer fan questions and one was about how her approach to dating has changed since being on the show.

Along with that, Katie also said it’s not good to share who you are dating too soon. This blew up in her face after Fboy Island. She also made her relationship with John Hersey public very fast as well. Katie said, “I also learned not to post a guy within the first 90 days of dating (it often ended within this exploration phase). Posting a guy too soon has led me to extend a relationship far beyond its expiration date in order to avoid embarrassment.”

When Is Katie Getting Married?

Bachelorette Katie Thurston also revealed that she and Jeff are about to get heavy into wedding planning. The two are looking at wedding venues very soon and hoping to find the perfect location for their nuptials.
