Despite recently taking heat for not choosing either finalist on ABC’s The Bachelor, Brad Womack told Ellen DeGeneres Friday that he would still do the show all over again.

“I believe in the fairy tale romance,” he explained. “I am so disappointed that it didn’t happen to me.

“I haven’t even thought about dating, he added. “I’m keeping to myself. I think if I asked a woman out, she might throw a drink in my face right now.”

Indeed. DeGeneres called him a jerk earlier in the week because she thought he had led both finalists on. Womack, 35, famously didn’t choose either woman, DeAnna Pappas or Jenni Croft.

But she apologized in person Friday, saying, “I shouldn’t have done that.”

Why was she so miffed?

“We hear you say, ‘I have such strong feelings … and I don’t know how I’m going to let one go,’” DeGeneres told him. “You get all the way to the end… and then there are no feelings. Bye Bye. That made me mad.”

Countered Womack: “First of all, I wouldn’t say that were no feelings. In fact, what I want people to understand is, I know no one is buying this, that it was just as difficult for me.

“I knew I was going to put myself in the hot seat by telling both ladies goodbye … I thought I had made a decision full of integrity by not giving a false promise….”

Still DeGeneres complained that he had even flown finalist DeAnna Pappas’ father in, “and you had said earlier that if you were going to ask someone to marry them, you would need permission from the father first.”

But Womack claimed, “I never one time asked for DeAnna’s father to be flown out. Never one single time.”

DeGeneres pressed on, mentioning to him about how he told DeAnna that “Saturday was going to be a good day,” implying he was going to choose her.

“I don’t know why I said that, maybe I got caught up in the moment,” Womack admitted. “If I could take anything back from that show … it’s that one statement … I don’t know if got up in the moment. I was trying to comfort her.”
