Three top traits you seek in a partner: Funny, intelligent and a best friend.

Three things you can offer a partner: A big heart, spontaneous fun and a best friend

FAST FAVES

Romantic movie: “The Holiday.” I am a hopeless romantic and love this movie where everyone lives happily ever after.

Funny pick-up line: “Can I take your picture so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas?” So cheesy. I wouldn’t really say this!

Flowers or candy: Sunflowers. They last longer and don’t make you gain weight.

A busy public relations pro and business owner who loves hiking, concerts, weekend trips and mentoring at-risk kids.

Dream date: Live music, bottle(s) of wine, sunset views, good conversation and something random to keep the night going, like a walk in the park.

Do you hope to get married one day: Absolutely! I want the real deal. My parents are still in love after 28 years of marriage, and I want that. They are my example of how marriage should be. I want a partner in life as cheesy as that sounds.
