Hawaii Hot Spots for Singles?

While talking to my friend yesterday on our mini road trip, we, of course, got around to the topic of guys. With both of us being single, the chat hovered around where and how we are supposed to find Mr. Right. You don't have to say it. I already know what you're thinking - is there even a Mr. Right, especially with these marriage/divorce figures? Well, let's just be optimistic for once and say there is a Mr. (or Miss) Right for all of us. Now, where do you even begin to find him?

According to an Advertiser blogger, Harbor Court (formerly Palominos) is the place. But where else? I mean, we live on a rock in the middle of the sea, according to Justin Young. There's only so many places we can go, so many things we can do.



My friend recently went on a semi-blind date. She thought of it as just hanging out and getting to know her friend's co-worker. He apparently thought it was a date-date. In either case, she said it was enjoyable but no sparks. They might get a friendship out of it, might not.

Is this how it works? We're supposed to rely on friends of friends?

What happens if none of your friends are single? You know how it goes: married couples only seem to attract more married people. It's as if they've all turned off their singles light like a yellow cab in NYC turns off its sign. It's almost like saying they're not taking any more singles fares.

Or, on the other hand, what if a bunch of your friends are all single? Wouldn't that be like the blind leading the blind? Single leading the single?

And no one wants to have to rely on their parents to set them up. God no! I'd rather die an old maid than have that ever happen.

So where are all the hot spots for Hawaii singles that don't involve exposure to accidently-on-purpose club rub, male ego stupidity or any other such nonsense? Where, oh where, is the Mr. Perfect for all of us?
