Andi Dorfman

A good date is someone who's creative, somebody who thinks of something. Whether it's a show, whether it's a certain place for dinner, don't just be the average run-of-the-mill guy.

Never take a girl to the movies on a first date! That's basically like, 'We don't want to hear you talk.'

I'm not just the tough chick from Atlanta who's an attorney. I'm a girl who wants to be courted and have the love of her life.

Sometimes you can just date without needing love, date for companionship, for passionate make-outs, for snuggling.

I've embraced the single life and all the glorious independence it has to offer.

I want to be able to go on vacations with my friends and not have to think about a man.

When I decided to move to New York, I did it to look for me, not to look for love.

Let's be honest, we don't watch 'The Bachelor' as a PSA. We watch it for entertainment.

The south in general kind of has this Lilly Pulitzer, light pink and green vibe to it. Atlanta being a large city has a variety and people dress more hipster. You definitely know what area of the city you're in depending on how the girls dress.

I am not a fan of running on treadmills because I think it prohibits you from learning how to pace yourself on your own, so I will brave the winter and run outdoors - and I'll be honest, the competitive part of me sees the cold weather as a sort of challenge.

Long runs are definitely tedious, but I find that timing is important on them. I like to do my long runs either early in the morning as the sun rises or in the late afternoon when the sun sets because it gives me something to see instead of thinking about how long I'm running.

I put running into my schedule just as I put anything else whether it's a meeting or an event or a dinner. I think carving out time to run or exercise gives you brain power and makes you more efficient in other aspects of your life, so it's worth taking the time.

Sometimes you have to embrace weakness.

You have to recognize that you're not going to be at your best every single day.

I loved my job at the district attorney's office.

I do enjoy sewing.

I love altering my stuff and that's something I've learned over time: You don't have to buy a shirt and just wear it as it is. A little tuck here, a little nip there, making a deeper plunge in the front - it's not pretty, though, I'll tell you that. I always tell people not to look at the seams.

I never grew up a runner. I never thought of myself as somebody that was fit or somebody that could advocate for that and then the more people kind of have caught onto it, it's inspired me to keep going, the more I keep doing it. And it's just kind of become something that I really like and I think it's relatable in the sense of I'm not an athlete.

If we talked about heartbreak more, would we feel as bad about it? Or would it kind of be more mundane in a less painful way.

Sure, there are times when I'd like to have someone romantically in my life, but then I think about my life as a whole and realize I'm generally happy being alone.

I don't know how many people actually fall in love in New York City.

Some good stories come out of being single in New York.

I definitely don't want someone who's controlling. I don't want someone who feels like they can skirt around being supportive. To me, a partner is someone who has your back no matter what.

A lot of times, people will say, 'You're running away from your problems.' So what? Why do you have to sit there and confront every single issue? Sometimes going away is the best answer.

I think you learn more from your failures than your successes.

Sometimes it's hard to recognize when you're in a relationship that is unhealthy for you.

I always hear about romance and love and relationships, and we're so scared to talk about the negatives, about when it doesn't work out.

I was able to explore the different cities I was in by running, so it just became my main form of exercise.

The first thing I do every morning is make my bed. It's a habit I'm sure my parents wish I had picked up as a teenager instead of as an adult!

I have a pretty healthy diet that I try and base off of how long and often I am running that day or week.

My true passion is in the prosecution of criminal cases.

I loved the writing process. I would love to write more. And I'd like to do a roundtable, like 'The View' or 'The Talk' - something related to social issues and things that are current.

I think people sometimes forget that I got a law degree and that it's mine for life.

People say stuff. People judge. That's how the world works.

I've developed a thicker skin than I've had.

It definitely gets lonely being single.

I went on 'The Bachelor' to find my husband and to find the love of my life.

The very first night on 'The Bachelor,' my first season, I remember standing in the rose ceremony room. It's 4:30 in the morning at this point. It's freezing cold, everyone is cold and nervous standing on these risers, and you could hear the teeth chattering and the deep breaths.

I almost feel off-balanced and more tired if I don't go for a run.

I used to play tennis growing up and then didn't play for a good 10 years. I've picked up the sport again and I absolutely love it.

I'm kind of in the middle as far as being a risk-taker and playing it safe. I dress more conservatively, but I'm also eclectic. I can do jeans with ripped holes and flats in the daytime, but I love putting on a great pair of stilettos with amazing leather pants.

I eat to fuel my body - not to change it.

I've always been more of a girl's girl.

I love fashion, always have.

I was the girl who kind of went straight from high school to college. Then straight from college to law school.

I have to literally pinch myself every day, like, 'Oh my God, I'm in New York. I live in New York.' It's awesome, just like the energy.

I'll do calf raises when I brush my teeth, I always take the stairs, and do squats on commercial breaks if I'm watching TV. It's so easy and it has become my little habit.

I get in a gym, put on my headphones and sweat it out by running, doing the stair master, abs, and free weights. I love doing circuit training.

I'm not one of those people who love to work out, but I love the results and the high after a killer workout.

I just need to find a guy who is nice to me and I want to be nice to. It's that simple. A genuine partnership. The two of you against the world.
