"I have two daughters," he jokes to another couple in the house, during a clip on VH1.com. "I have a 5-year-old and a 15-year-old. Sometimes, I feel like I have to push her. 'Nikki, can you get ready? Can you do this?' So, I feel like a dad to her, but I'm not."

Ferrell, 27, fires right back in the clip, saying, "I don't act like I'm 15 years old. So, for him to tell kind of complete strangers that, it's embarrassing and belittling. It's just not funny."

As for saying "I love you," Galavis got a lot of flack for not saying those three words on the "Bachelor" finale to his girlfriend. Instead, he told her he liked her, "a lot."

So far on the show -- and it's only been one episode -- Galavis hasn't told Nikki he loves her yet.

"I just sometimes feel like he's so nonchalant about things," Ferrell said on the show, according to US Weekly. "I don't want to force anything from him, there's still a part of me who wonders, 'Maybe today it's gonna come. Maybe tomorrow it's gonna come.'"
