"Bachelor in Paradise" Season 2 star Ashley Iaconetti has returned home after her desperate attempt to make fellow contestant Jared Haibon fall in love with her.

No matter what she did, Iaconetti could not sway Haibon to become smitten with her.

Although Haibon tried several times to distance himself from Iaconetti, it seemed that she didn't take the hint.

In Cosmopolitan magazine, Iaconetti wrote an article about her "Bachelor in Paradise" Season 2 experience. In it, she claims to now understand why Haibon wasn't interested, though she tried everything in her power to win him over.

Many fans thought that the 26-year-old would use sex to persuade him, but Iaconetti explained that she had no intention of being sexually intimate.

"I had zero intention of going beyond first base that night and even if I did, there's no way Jared would have. It was a rated-PG make out, people!" Iaconetti wrote.

She added that while she doesn't know how he felt about their "Fantasy Suite" date, for her, it was "the easiest, most enjoyable time and conversation I think we ever had."

By the next morning, Iaconetti said that they were both disconnected.

"I knew the big, final breakup was inevitable," the former nanny said.

Although she cried a lot during "Bachelor in Paradise," Iaconetti said it was a great experience.

"I did everything I could to win Jared over, but the truth is love should come naturally. I have no regrets. I was open and honest and emotionally braver than I've ever been," she wrote.

While she left "feeling at peace," Iaconetti admitted, "I'd be lying if I said I was writing this without tears streaming down my face though, not because of sadness necessarily, but gratitude."

"Bachelor in Paradise" fans won't be seeing the brunette beauty in future seasons.

"Even with the heartbreak and the tears, I'd relive it all over again in a heartbeat... however, I think I'm retired from the franchise," the Virginia native revealed.
