Things may not have worked out for Aaron Erb and Jenn Tran, but he’s not giving up on Bachelor Nation just yet.

In an interview with PEOPLE after the Men Tell All special, Aaron says he doesn’t know what his next move will be, but he wouldn’t be opposed to continuing in the Bachelor franchise. After the first two cast members of the upcoming season Bachelor in Paradise announced, Aaron says he would take a spot on the popular show.

Thinking about who he might go for on Bachelor Nation now that he’s single again, Aaron reveals “there are a few I could think about,” but wouldn’t say much more.

“Let’s just say I DMed a couple,” he teases. “It was more like, mutual [friend]but I won’t name names. If they were there [with me in Paradise]I would be very excited.”

Aaron was in hot water during the Men Tell All special with several contestants coming after him for giving Devin a self-development book during an argument earlier in the season. He says he stands by his decision, pointing out that the book was given to him by his twin and that it helped him.

“I read that book a lot,” he says. “It really started me on my journey of self-discovery. It honestly changed my life. It’s a short read — it’s something I brought because it has some very simple lessons to learn. I didn’t bring the book with the intention of giving it away.”

“I feel that it was the right move and I put myself in someone else’s shoes, [asking myself]’How can I care about anyone at that moment?'” he continues. “It was funny how much attention it got.”

Noah, who was on the receiving end of a similar situation when he was on bachelor, he was not quick to defend Aaron’s actions.

“We were together in the womb, but I don’t think the book is the main draw,” he told Aaron. “I don’t think anyone should tell someone that they are ready or not ready. We all have our own journey.”
