"It took him quite a while, but Bachelorette&amp;apos;s Sean Lowe is finally at peace with Emily Maynard&amp;apos;s decision to give him the boot over Jef Holm and Arie Luyendyk.\r\n&amp;quot;That was the first time that I had ever experienced heartbreak in my life,&amp;quot; the 28-year-old insurance agent told Us Weekly during a Thursday conference call. &amp;quot;Now that we&amp;apos;ve had some time and distance. . . [I know]she&amp;apos;s not the one I&amp;apos;m supposed to be with for the rest of my life. In a way I&amp;apos;m thankful that it ended where it did for me, and I think she made the right decision.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nCribbing lines from Nora Ephron&amp;apos;s You&amp;apos;ve Got Mail to break up with Lowe, Maynard, 26, declared her third-place finalist &amp;quot;the perfect man,&amp;quot; a term which Lowe believes was genuine. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not saying that I&amp;apos;m perfect, but I believe that she couldn&amp;apos;t find any faults with me,&amp;quot; Lowe explained. &amp;quot;I think in her heart she just realized that Jef and Arie might be the better choice. I don&amp;apos;t think she was trying to spare my feelings at all. I might have built up [our bond] a little bit more than it really was in my head.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs Holm and Leyendyk prepare to face off for Maynard&amp;apos;s final rose on The Bachelorette&amp;apos;s July 22 finale, Lowe isn&amp;apos;t commenting on rumors that he&amp;apos;s in the running with Roberto Martinez to be the next Bachelor, but did offer a few reasons why he&amp;apos;d be good for the gig.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t want to sound like I&amp;apos;m selling myself, but I think that people have come to understand that I&amp;apos;m genuine, I&amp;apos;m loving and ultimately I want to find love,&amp;quot; Maynard&amp;apos;s ex said. &amp;quot; Emily really showed me what I want out of life. Hopefully I do find that love that will ultimately last forever, and hopefully that comes around sooner rather than later.&amp;quot;\r\nTell Us: Would Sean make a good Bachelor?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
