Down to earth
Amanda is up for adventures like a road trip, but she’s not a thrill-seeker. “No jumping out of planes for me,” she says.
Working girl
Amanda wants a guy who’s handy, but she’s not too bad herself – she’s made some of her own clothes and built some of her furniture.
Neat freak
Being a slob can easily turn Amanda off . . .
Dress down. . . . but she doesn’t mind the guy who prefers to wear flannel over a polo shirt.
Binge watch
Amanda can easily get addicted to television shows. “Sometimes I read spoilers to make myself quit,” she says.
Helping hand
If she weren’t directing theater, Amanda says she’d join the Peace Corps, and she enjoys volunteer work.
Drink up
Amanda’s favorite cocktail is a gin and tonic.
Stage time
When it comes to date night, her ideal guy would go with her to the theater.
Amanda gets to choose from these three guys. Who do you think she should date?
Sid, 31
Software developer
He is: chill but hard-working. “I’m laid-back, but I always finish what I need to finish,” says Sid.
He wants: a nerdy girl – “Someone who’s into trivia and board games like me,” he says.
Sweet guy: Sid prefers liquers.
Cheese, please: His favorite pizza is a classic New York-style plain slice.
Pet peeve: bad grammar.
Make it hot: Sid likes all foods, but he has a soft spot for spicy fare.
Matt, 31
Writer
He is: quiet. “I only open up in conversation if it’s with someone I like,” Matt says.
He wants: a talker. “It would probably be good if she’s more outgoing than me,” he says.
Play ball: Matt is a hard-core baseball fan, and roots for the Chicago Cubs.
Book smart: He has a tendency to read multiple books at once.
Something extra: “I’m a good tipper,” says Matt.
He will have: a Guinness
On DVR: He watches “Damages.”
Eugene, 35
Nonprofit director
He is: charming. “Even dashing, if you catch me in the right outfit on a good hair day,” says Eugene.
He wants: a girl who can turn it on and off. “Sexy and silly will win me over,” he says.
Feet first: Eugene’s a big soccer fan, especially the Arsenal of the EPL.
Body parts: The curve of a woman’s back and the line of her clavicle are big turn-ons for Eugene.
Pet peeve: tardiness.
Guilty pleasure: strawberry-flavored Nestle Quik.
