The Bachelor's Season 19 runner-up Becca Tilley apparently doesn't want to be anyone's second choice.

In response to followers suggesting she should date Soules again after he had selected and proposed to Bischoff in the season finale that taped six months ago, Tilley is finding humor in the situation and cracked a joke.
"Y'all are funny," Tilley, a 25-year-old chiropractic assistant from San Diego, CA, tweeted Friday after calling attention to one comment in particular: "'Get back together with that guy who didn't choose you in the first place!'"
Just days before Soules and Bischoff announced their breakup last week, Tilley posted a photo on Instagram featuring herself sitting next to current The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe as they FaceTimed a smiling Bischoff. Tilley pointed out "it is SO much fun being friends" with those two girls.
Most The Bachelor fans believed Soules was really in love with Tilley during his season and desperately wanted to be with her. However, Tilley refused to tell Soules she loved him, and she was also unsure about a potential move to Iowa and getting married so soon. Soules seemed to need those answers from her in order to pick her and get engaged.
Unfortunately for Bischoff, fans viewed her as Soules' "safe choice." She confessed how deeply she loved the Bachelor numerous times and insisted she couldn't wait to move to Arlington and begin a life with him on the farm. Bischoff, a 29-year-old former fertility nurse, also wanted kids badly.
So even though Soules picked Bischoff in the end, people will argue Tilley was truly his first choice and she just wasn't giving him enough to work with. Soules argued Bischoff was his "true love" and "soulmate," but he had also slipped a couple times in interviews by saying the logistics worked out with Bischoff and Tilley wasn't ready to change her life around.
A source told Hollywood Life late last week that Tilley would be open to the idea of getting back together with Soules, as would he if they were to "bump" into one another on the street by chance.
"She didn't go on the [Bachelor in Paradise] spinoff show because she's still into Chris," the source said. "She may not have told him she loved him during the actual show, but she had really strong feelings for him."
