Texting or calling?
FaceTime!
Early bird or night owl?
I’m an early bird during the week and a night owl on the weekends. I call that balance!
Homebody or social butterfly?
I’m a homebody that loves to go out from time to time!
Top three songs on your most-listened to playlist?
Forewarning: I love ’90s R&B – it’s my guilty pleasure! The top three songs on my Heavy Rotation playlist are Roni by Bobby Brown, Can You Stand the Rain by New Edition and Piece of My Love by Guy.
Is your ideal first date adventurous, cozy, or something unexpected?
My ideal first date is a mix of cozy and unexpected! I love a chill, intimate setting where we can connect, with a thoughtful twist. Think great food, a rooftop, and something tailored to my interests. I appreciate when a man listens and plans the date based on that.
Do you believe in love at first sight or do great connections take time?
I believe great connections take time. I value depth, emotional security, and consistency – things that don’t happen instantly. I love a spark, but I don’t confuse it with love. Instant chemistry is fun, but I’m intentional about building something real.
