Farmer not sure what he wants | Ipswich TV Guide | Ipswich Television, Australia

I agree tottaly Rebecca,either he wants to be with you or he doesn't.I think it is sad that this happened,even more so as he was your first boyfriend in 14yrs.I can fully relate as I have been single now for nearly 7yrs and men just keep giving me the run around over and over again.To me it is all pretty simple,if you want to be with someone be with them.Being afraid of getting hurt and hurting someone is what I think a weak,pathetic excuse that really means I just don't want to be with you.I can't stand that line or the it's not you,it's me one.I hope you find a wonderful man Rebecca who makes you very happy.

Anyone who goes on these pathetic shows is bound to finish up hurt..they are manufactured to thrill with the worst possible type of fools as contestants....bad luck but it serves you right for being so gullible...I really feel sorry for you ...you have been taken for a ride.

hang on, i can feel a little sympathy rising up from somewhere deep inside. behind the bile duct i think.

wait.

no.

gone.

just reflux.

Oh my God!! True love dashed ...

Maybe its time the programmers started taking this crap off the tv. Oh and LMAO ClarkKent, Im with you.

Gypsy Girl, your always interesting comments would be a great deal easier to read if you would follow common practice and leave a double space after the full stop at the end of your sentences. It breaks up the flow and allows us to concentrate on one sentence at a time.

MORAL OF THE STORY: don't go on Television shows expecting to find love. you will just be a media tart

Maroochybelle, I do believe that the convention of leaving a double space after a full stop is now outdated. The editing course at the local Uni teaches just a single space after a full stop although personally I prefer the double space. Occasionally I slip in a double space to remember the good old times.

What do you think Clarkkent?

You nasty group of Queensland yobbo's. How dare you judge while sitting on your sunburnt bums.

Well and he came across such a humble christian farmer didn't he!!
Real godly behaviour being shown to this lady.

Look some men do need time out for a break to sort out their head before making a huge commitment. Everyone works out feelings differently. But its the way you do it is a reflection of what sort of person you are.

Move on rebecca and you don't need a man to be happy and content.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and certainly going on a tv show looking for love opens you up to criticism, but you can't deny anyone love and if you watched the show you'd have seen that what they had was real.

It takes alot of guts to put yourself out there and Bec should be proud of how she has handled it all. Let's hope she meets someone lovely and deserving soon.

ClarkKent, your comment is hysterical!

Resplendant with single spaces after fullstops. Like that one, and the one coming up. Although now I've had to add an extra sentence.

I prefer a new line after each sentence, preferably even an extra line....

Makes for much easier reading and I also appreciate a double space after each full stop....

Oh and to Bec, sorry it ended this way...you deserve better..

And to the person from Bar Beach, we are not yobbo's, merely people with opinions.....and we are a bit sunburnt......and dusty....

And obsessive about fullstop use..... .. ...

.

oh full stop it you folk! Im poor, I can only afford on full stop per sentence. Gotta save on ink!

If Gavin was a real man, he would have had the guts to speak to Rebecca before giving an interview to TV Week – fair enough if the relationship wasn’t working out, that’s nobody’s fault, but PLEASE, don’t let the lady have to read in a magazine that she’d been dumped. That’s just plain cruel. Oh well Gavin, you should be happy now, you’re back on your own again – and good luck to you! Pffff

Maroochbelle,thanx for the advice I will try to remember to leave a double space after the full stop in future. I had no idea it was apparantly common practice,lol. I am not real good on the punctuation side of things it was never quite my forte. I think all you who passed judgement on Rebecca for going on tv to find love are a bit mean. I personaly wouldn't do it but when you've been single for soo long and they aren't exactly banging down your door what do you do? I hardly ever meet anyone new as I am working,studying and caring for three children. I don't have anyone to care for my kids whilst I go out and generally i don't have a lot of spare time. So what does one do to meet they're dream partner? Not like his just going to come knocking on your door one day hey. I think it took a lot of guts to go on a tv programme. I also think though you have to do it with a very open mind. Rebecca is far better off without this guy as the line I don't know what I want translates into I don't want you. If he was any kind of decent man he would have told her before she read about it.

gypsy_girl_72 you ask what is a single girl to do? You could also try what Rebecca was apparantly doing all along, perhaps hedging her bets? I have to own up here and admit that I happened to have been flicking through the pages of a well known internet dating site the day that the daily first "scooped" Rebecca declaring that it was her that Gavin had chosen, and noticed her profile still active. I checked it every day and it is was still active, right up to when TV Week dumped her. Wonder what Gavin thought about that? Was she still dating?

Although, it may be that she simply forgot to remove her profile from the site. I guess there may always be sides to a story that you don't see from a newspaper, or TV Week.

Hmmmmm, TV & reality. Is it not what we do to escape reality.
Rest brain, set down and turn on telly.
Oh, and ClarkKent, you`ve got me stressed now. one space or two. Is it to, too or two, their or there.
Damn, where`s my TV, my brain hurts.
And to Rebecca, all will work out. Chin up. At least you have someone that looks up to you and will respect you each day. GO girl

Chris69,I could do what Rebecca did to find a partner but I am sure I mentioned in my previous comment that it wasn't for me. I am not someone who would go on tv to find love and as for internet dating sites,too many idiots to sift through again not my thing. Rebecca having aprofile on an internet dating site that was left active doesn't really mean a lot. How do you know it was active in the sense of she was actively logging on and seeing who may have contacted her. I personaly wouldn't delete a profile on a dating site unless I was sure the relationship was serious, but then I don't actually have a profile on an internet dating site to delete.

There must be a shortage of men on the coast because I watched the show & I was astounded that Bec even considered this hillbilly from the north! Seriously, when I saw her competeing for this losers affection I thought 'this woman is more in love with the idea of being in love than the actual guy'.
She was obviously a very nice, decent, attractive woman and deserves to have someone at least her equal which that guy so obviously wasn't even before this latest fiasco.
Gavin has been weighed & measured and found to be wanting in soooo many areas. All I can say is thank god it's over with that loser so now Bec can find herself a decent guy.
Hey with all of us out there surely someone must know a suitable bow for our Bec,...

I just had to write. Rebecca is a good friend of mine. It took alot ot courage for her to start looking for a partner. I admire her for taking a chance and stepping out on TV. We have known each other over 20 years. It was me that registered her on the internet site in September when she came to spend some time with me. She has not been registered very long at all. I met my partner through it in February this year. He is the most honourable, sweet, caring man I have ever met. We emailed each other and talked on skype for over a month before we met face to face. We are now living together and are very happy and committed to each other. I registered Rebecca in September as I felt she deserved so much better than Gavin. She has spent the last 16 years dedicated to her son. We had a couple of wines and I convinced her to register, I filled it all out for her. I think it is a clean, safe way to get to know someone over a period of time. Rebecca is a lovely lady and deserves to meet somone decent who can appreciate her wonderful caring, loving and loyal qualities. I know just the right man is waiting for someone so lovely. You are spot on Roses from Maroochydore abd gypsy girl, Rebecca deserves to have someone educated and articulate, someone at least her equal and I believe she will meet him soon. Just because she took a chance with Gavin doesn't mean she's in love with the idea of being in love. She just thought they had alot in common. Turns out they did, you didn't see much of it on the show, but they did. He just wasn't genuine in his intentions. Well said Roses, it's now over and Rebecca can find someone so much better. There's always more to what you read....Internet dating is safe and very good for busy people who don't want to go pubbling or clubbing :-)

Well Bec you may have lucked out in this latest round of love but you won the jackpot with your friend 'Sydneyslicker'.
My appoligies about my comment that Bec 'Was more in love with the idea of being in love than the actual guy (moron)'. I guess I was just trying to get my head around why such a wonderful women would be interested in Gavin and came up with the assumption that she wanted to fall in love so badly that even he looked like a serious contender. I mean come on, you can't blame me... she is so obviously leagues ahead of him.
There probably was a lot more to him than they showed on TV... there would have to be wouldn't there?
All Bec has to do now is pick a guy with qualities as good as that of her friends and she will be just fine.

I am too a good friend of Rebecca's and I say go on you for trying. Doesn't hurt to put yourself out there and take a chance. If you don't try you will never know. I think Rebecca is a great person and is a wonderful person and it will be Gavin's loss that he decided not to pursue the relationship. To Bec, you will find that special someone he is yet to enter and share your life. Don't loss heart. never ventured nothing gained. As I am too a Christian its all not about the TV ratings but about how real people can find love with a little help of more opportunities.

Good luck to both of them for putting themselves on the spot light and taking a chance. I am sure that both of them will stay friends and I am sure Gavin did not set out to hurt Bec.

Keep happy and keep looking forward to the wonderful future God has planned for you Bec.
God Bless...and chin up
