What are you looking for in a mate? I am looking for someone who wants a serious relationship and has good communication skills. My mate should also be honest, hard working, romantic, and after things get serious, be flexible in bed.

Biggest turn-off: People who, regardless of their age, act like they’re ready for Shady Pines.

Biggest turn-on: People who are not afraid to approach me and be clear about what they want.

Hobbies: Reading, listening to music, watching old movies, going to museums, walking in the park, traveling and tweeting

Describe your ideal first date: We would go to the park on a spring afternoon where my date would surprise me with a picnic of homemade southern delicacies.

Pets, kids or neither? I already have both and I say the more, the merrier.

Would you date someone whose political views differ from yours? I would date a liberal, a conservative, a libertarian and even an anarchist, but I will not date anyone who voted for the current president.

Celebrity crush: Laith Ashley, Hugh Jackman and Maxwell.

One obscure fact about yourself: My appreciation of music includes classic country music — Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell.
