What if it were just you and your dates — and The Honolulu Advertiser?

The Advertiser would like to help make some love connections. But the deal is, you have to let a reporter and photographer trail you for stories about what happens.

We'll select one bachelor and 10 women from applications you fill out.

Readers, you have a part to play: You'll be able to vote from a group of finalists, and you'll decide who Hawai'i's Bachelor will be.

Once a bachelor is chosen, we'll send him on a series of dates with the women who hope to be his love connection. We'll spring for dinner and other fun, romantic outings.

Hawai'i's Bachelor will narrow down his choices as the dates tick by. Readers' online comments will help him make his match.

With online and newspaper reports, we'll keep readers posted on whether our bachelor has been bitten by the love bug.

Hawai'i's Bachelor and those who date him will keep diaries that will be posted online, and weekly stories in the Island Life section will count down to tales of happiness or heartbreak.
