And Jamie, a 21-year-old from Nashville, TN and self-declared hopeless romantic, will find herself kissing two suave bachelors before the night is over. Jamie will be torn in choosing between Ryan, a 28-year-old from Dearborn Heights, MI, and Trevor, a 29-year-old from Encino, CA.
When the first Date Card arrives, Ryan finds himself caught in a love triangle. However, he chooses to take out Jamie.

The couple will record a duet version of John Mayer's "Gravity" with the iconic singer's producer, John Alagia, at world-famous Capitol Records.
"Will the couple fall in love over a shared microphone or does the young woman's heart belong to Trevor back at the ranch?" ABC teased in a press release about the first episode.
And Matt, a 32-year-old from Encino, CA, will be the recipient of a second Date Card.
Although Matt apparently hit it off with Rudi on the first night, he will take a different woman out on his date, and the pair will dance the night away to a private concert by The Plain White Tees.
Following the round of dates, the season's first cocktail party will commence and the women will be able to hand out the roses at the first Rose Ceremony.
The men will pull out all the stops to avoid getting eliminated, and Julia, a 27-year-old from Wayne, PA, will find herself highly sought-after and serenaded by two bachelors.
"Where will her heart lead her? Will she send the potential love of her life home? Rudi and Matt clash, and Jamie finds it difficult to decide between her two ardent suitors," ABC teased.
At the end of the night, eight couples will have formed and four unlucky bachelors are sent packing. However, more cast members will soon arrive and mix things up.
The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart is being produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Unscripted Television with Mike Fleiss, Martin Hilton, Nicole Woods, Bennett Graebner, Louis Caric and Chris Harrison serving as executive producers.
