People magazine reports that in the interview on the Dear Media Podcast With Whit, hosts Whitney Port and her husband Tim Rosenman asked the former "Bachelorette" contestant if he's been using dating apps during the pandemic.

"I am not on the apps, but I'll send some DMs," Cameron said. "I shoot my shot – a lot of shots don't get made, but you know, my dad always told me you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take. So I'm going to shoot and some don't hit, some do, and it is what it is."

He added that COVID-19 has changed things considerably.

"That's how you can date right now, You can't go out and meet nobody, you know? So it's just kind of like, it's Wednesday at 6 p.m. and I see someone like, 'Oh she's pretty, I'll send her a message,'" he said.

Cameron is best-known for having dated Gigi Hadid but they broke up amicably last October.

"I took it as I met a great person, a great friend. It wasn't like a bad breakup or anything like that," People reported at the time. "It was just, we're at different parts of our lives right now."

He also said that being rejected doesn't bother him at all.

"I tell you, I get turned down all the time, but that's the fun part of going out," the reality star said. "That's what I loved about going to the bar. We were going out to meet people and have fun and who knew where the night [would go]."

When asked about whether or not he considered taking the role of "The Bachelor," People writes he was "offered the role during a time when his father's health was struggling, but ended up turning it down."

"We've talked about it. And there was a time I was really close to saying yes. My dad was in the hospital again and I was like, 'Screw it. I'm going to do it," Cameron said, adding that he was going to take it "or the money" to help his family.

"But then I sat on it and I talked to some of my friends about it and they were like, 'Don't do that – don't do it for the money,'" he said. "So I went against it."

Nonetheless, he left the option open.

"Down the road, who knows – I never say no to anything," Cameron said. "It's all about timing and when things are right."
