Where did Jason go wrong?

America's favorite single dad turned into America's Most Hated last night as he shattered nice, sweet sincere, Melissa's heart into a thousand pieces. The way I see it Jason's biggest mistake was making the proposal.

The mistake Jason made was saying from minute one that he was going to find his wife on the show, and that he was going to propose to someone at the end. This was unwise for a couple of reasons. He put too much pressure on himself to be the Trista of the Bachelor's. He wanted to be the one to show that it could be done, and that you can find true love on 'The Bachelor'.

If he takes the route that almost every other bachelor has, which is the promise ring/let's see where this goes after the lights go out he would have been fine. What I mean by fine is that if he didn't propose to Melissa at the end of the show he is still a jerk, but he is not THAT big of a jerk. If he hadn't proposed, last night he isn't the guy calling off an engagement and dumping his fiancee without giving the relationship a chance, he's a guy breaking up with his girlfriend because he wants to date another girl.

Sure he's still an ass but people break up so they can date other people all the time. It doesn't have the impact of calling off the engagement.
