Ladies, start your swiping fingers. One of #BachelorNa­tion’s favorite boys, Blake Horstmann, is on the local Bumble market.

We are approximat­ely five days from the start of fall, which means cuffing season is upon us. That’s right, the chilly weather and the accompanyi­ng move indoors it brings will lead more people to couple up and say goodbye to the outside world. Oh wow, what perfect timing, Blake.

The Bailey native announced on Sunday that he’s “ready to meet some new amazing women” as he promotes Bumble’s match campaign that benefits Dress for Success. Sure, it’s pretty clear it’s an ad. But that won’t stop the hope of Front Range fans everywhere whose hearts broke for Horstmann during this season’s finale of “The Bacheloret­te.”

Denver, ABC’s loss is now your gain. As fellow Coloradan Colton Underood prepares to hand out roses as the next “Bachelor,” local ladies can prepare to pick up where Becca Kuffin left off. (And if that happens to be in the Maldives, that’s OK, too.)

Think you’re a match for our local Bachelor hunk? Here’s what you could expect on a date, based on Instagram posts:

Horstmann is a big Colo rado sports fan, so you may end up joining him during Rocktober at Coors Field or at a Broncos game.

Maybe you’ll get to meet some of his Bachelor friends like Jason Tartick or Clay Harbor, who have been spotted hanging with Horstmann in Denver at places like the Pepsi Center.

Or maybe you’ll even get your own hometown date and hike with him in the mountains near Bailey.

Either way, keep your eyes peeled for Horstmann when you’re swiping and give him some encouragem­ent because putting your heart on the line for love is never easy. At least this time there aren’t millions of people watching.
