The 26-year-old bridal stylist from Los Angeles, CA was spotted with several hopeful bachelors on a group dodgeball date around the Americana at Brand outdoor mall on Wednesday, Us Weekly reported.
Hartsock was sporting a neon pink track jacket, orange tank top underneath and black yoga pants, while the men were reportedly photographed wearing bright red jerseys, sweatbands and tube socks on the date.
According to Us, the new ninth-season The Bachelorette star had previously been seen on a one-on-one date with bachelor Brooks Forrester, a Fit Marketing sales representative, in Sherman Oaks on March 16. A fan took to Twitter to comment on the couple riding in a convertible up Sunset Boulevard and enjoying a dessert at the B Sweet Dessert Truck.
"OMG just saw Desiree on her first date for The Bachelorette! She's so cute omg & we talked & the guy was so hot," a fan reportedly tweeted.

Executive producer Mike Fleiss also gushed about Hartsock's date in a March 17 tweet.
"Excellent first date for Dez!!!" he wrote. "So important to get off to a good start. Dez is doing great. Already a first kiss!!!"
Hartsock was cut by seventeenth-season The Bachelor star Sean Lowe during the show's February 18 broadcast after he visited the hometowns of his final four bachelorettes and met their families.
Last night's finale broadcast concluded with Lowe picking bachelorette Catherine Giudici and the couple getting engaged. When asked how she felt about the season's outcome, Hartsock said she's "so happy for them."
