"Forget fancy helicopter rides and lavish dinners!\r\nOn Monday&amp;apos;s episode of The Bachelorette, Emily Maynard decided to take contestant Ryan on what proved to be one of the most meaningful one-on-one dates in show history: She took him to her home to experience her everyday life as a single mom.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Usually these dates are over-the-top and glamorous, but as a single mom, things aren&amp;apos;t always as glamorous,&amp;quot; Maynard, 26, said before she welcomed 31-year-old personal trainer Ryan into her kitchen to unpack groceries and bake cookies for her daughter Ricki&amp;apos;s soccer team.\r\nFor his part, Ryan couldn&amp;apos;t have been happier with his domestic date, which later included dinner at Charlotte, North Carolina&amp;apos;s Osso and a Gloriana concert. &amp;quot;I feel pretty good about how things are. Just spending the time I did with Emily today, I found her attractive as heck dressed down in her &amp;apos;mom wear,&amp;apos; as she calls it, just being herself.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThough she was smitten by Ryan, Maynard kept her guard up when the duo discussed their relationship histories over dinner. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t want anyone to see this as a competition, but I don&amp;apos;t want to be the prize that you win at the end,&amp;quot; Maynard reasoned. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t want to be the game.&amp;quot;\r\nMaynard also couldn&amp;apos;t help but compare Ryan to her Bachelor ex-fiance Brad Womack, who proposed to her in 2011. &amp;quot;I really like Ryan but I almost worry that he&amp;apos;s too perfect,&amp;quot; she said in a voiceover. &amp;quot;He reminds me of Brad in that way and obviously that didn&amp;apos;t work out for me.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHitting it off with Ryan enough to give him a rose during their date, Maynard didn&amp;apos;t have the same luck with Joe, whom she she wined and dined in West Virginia, her home state. Eliminating the 27-year-old Matthew McConaughey look-alike over dinner, Maynard argued that the duo were heading in different directions and she couldn&amp;apos;t see her or her daughter, 6, fitting into his life.\r\n\r\nLater, the woman of the hour met up with her remaining suitors at the Bachelorette mansion after having participated in a variety show group date alongside Muppets Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.\r\nSent packing this week along with Joe: biology teacher Aaron and financial advisor Kyle.\r\nTell Us: Is Ryan &amp;quot;too perfect&amp;quot; for Emily?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
