The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick Lunches at Hotel Monaco

Where: 1101 4th Ave [map], Seattle, WA, United States, 98101

Jason Mesnick, the star of the thirteenth season of ABC's bafflingly-successful hit The Bachelor, must be having a rough time right now.

See, he told People magazine back in December that he had found love on this season of the show — which is still airing — and is, in fact, engaged. While that part isn't rough — especially considering he endured the rejection of the century by the Bachelorette's Deanna, which landed him this gig as the new Bachelor in the first place — imagine what it must be like to have a fiancee with whom you can't be seen in public anywhere until the season finale of your show airs. Ugh. Rough.

Accordingly, when the Seattle-based Bachelor hunk was spotted offscreen this weekend, he was spotted with another dude. From People:

Jason Mesnick found time off-camera for a lunch at Sazerac restaurant in Seattle's Hotel Monaco. And don't worry ladies: "He was dining with another guy," an observer says. Despite being recognized, Mesnick kept his focus on business. "They were talking pretty intently the whole time," the observer tells us.

Making wedding plans over a little bit of Saz's gumbo, perhaps? Discussing colors with the florist? Or maybe just chillin with a dude after enduring the grueling Bachelor filming process surrounded by catty women?

Probably that last one.
