Ready For Love  (not to be confused with the 1974 or the 2001 song by Bad Company and India Arie of the same name respectively) was a short-lived, two episode only, celebrity-driven reality dating series where three of America's most eligible celebrity bachelors search for their soul mates.

Gameplay

The Show is a Matchmaking show with the goal of finding romantic partners for three eligible bachelors who were Dallas-based financier Ben Patton, Santa Barbara-based Plain White T's member Tim Lopez and Miami-based entrepreneur Ernesto Arguello. Eligible women applied online to matchmakers Amber Kelleher-Andrews, Tracy McMillan and Matthew Hussey. Each of the three bachelors has a field of twelve bachelorettes that has been chosen for him: each matchmaker selects four women per bachelor. The women applied via a specially designed Facebook app that introduces the participants via Ready For Love Facebook page as well as a Facebook timeline. The intent is that as the season evolves each of the three bachelors will find a romantic partner from among the twelve bachelorettes chosen for him as the audience observes the process.
