Number of kids: 3 boys, 1 girl (Samuel - 20, Nathan - 18, Rosette - 17 , Corey - 15)
Where do you live?: 5 bedroom in suburbia
Favorite things?: My favorite things include oreo cookies, late night driving, paranormal programming, and family ice cream trips. My favorite color is orange, and I tend to drink coffee and other caffeinated drinks more than I probably should. I also love to cook, and I play games casually.
Least favorite things?: Christmas bothers me for some reason. I don't like opening cans of biscuits because I hate the pop. My daughter's boyfriend is high on my list. I also cannot stand dry mac'n'cheese.
Dog or Cat or Other (please specify)? We have a pair of ferrets?
Eating habits?: Omnivorous
Occupation: Architect
Zodiac and how you feel about it: I'm a Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp, and I dunno how much merit to give astrology, but I think I fit my zodiac pretty okay.
Activity Level: Moderate. I go to the gym sometimes.
Smoker?: When I was like... 18
Would you date a smoker?: Probably not. A couple of my kids are asthmatic.
Describe your perfect date: I think a date to the fair would be awesome. Eat some greasy food, play some games, ride a few rides, win a stuffed animal or two, and I'd love to end the date with a ferris wheel ride and then see where the rest of the night goes.
Give us how you would describe your personality: I'd like to think I'm a pretty fun guy. But I do like to move forward in my work, so I consider myself ambitious. I know I try too hard to relate to my kids at times, but I really love them. They're pretty much my main focus in life. I'm pretty honest, but sometimes I'm too blunt. I'm also stubborn as a mule and I guess some would call me an "alpha" because I like to lead and be in control.
Name: Tyson Blaine Age: 30 Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Number of kids: 2 daughters Where do you live?: 3/2 on a few acres about half an hour out of town. Favorite things?: My daughters, the Bill of Rights, and civilian life. Least favorite things?: Radio music, expensive dates, Facebook. Dog or Cat or Other (please specify)?: Well... I've got two dogs, and about half a dozen head of barn cats. Unless that one tabby had kittens again. I like them all. Eating habits?: I enjoy my place at the top of the food chain. Occupation: Class 3 private security contractor. Zodiac and how you feel about it: I'm told I'm a very stereotypical Aries, but I don't track it any more than that. Myers-Briggs is more useful anyway, I'm an ENFP. Activity Level: Moderate. I'm not as big as I used to be, but I still hit the gym 3 times a week. Smoker?: Not for 3 years now. Would you date a smoker?: It would depend on the smoker. Describe your perfect date: A day on my family's land. I grill something nice for us, we do a little shooting, maybe a walk down by the creek, then come back up to the house and play a game all together. Give us how you would describe your personality: Have you ever seen Parks and Rec? Imagine Rob Swanson, if he was an extrovert.

In a nice neighborhood with decent houses
Favorite things
Dancing, outdoor activities, competitive games (pictionary, charades, dance offs, board games, card games, sports, anything), goofing around, summer, the beach, horseback riding
Least favorite things
Parent Evening's at school, tight up people, authorities, being lied to
Dog or Cat or Other?
I don't own a pet.
You could take dogs on runs... so that's cool. But I wouldn't really mind either.
Eating habits?
Nothing worth mentioning.
Occupation
I used to be a professional dancer. Now I am a dance teacher and choreographer. If good occasions arrive to dance, I'll take them. But due to my two kids, I don't have such a flexible schedule anymore.
Zodiac and how you feel about it
Gemini
I don't know much about zodiacs and don't really care for them. I looked up what my zodiac plus birth date meant... seems fitting I guess. That's all I can say.
Activity Level
I love being active. I used to work out daily, but it got less and less with the kids around. I still try to work out every now and then or at least go for a run two or three days per week though. Dancing keeps me active as well. And those rascals have a way of chasing me around a lot.
Smoker?
Never
Would you date a smoker?
I would prefer if they weren't smoking, but I am staying open minded.
Describe your perfect date
I would hope we'd be doing something that we both enjoy. I have found that I find active first dates more appealing than sit-down-dates. So swimming, hiking, going out dancing, playing a little bit 1x1 basketball, table tennis while listening to extremely silly or bad songs to throw us off and make fun of. I am always up for going just a little crazy and creative. Jumphouse would be so silly funny. Going indoor climbing. Or even dressing each other up in ridiculous clothes and walking through town, pretending we're tourists. Or doing a 'fast food restaurant' testing, in which we would each order two pieces and then move to the next spot until we're too full. I like silly little things that aren't planned out, like drawing and explaining each other's houses and cars without ever knowing what they may look like. It's a funny little game, will make us laugh, break the ice and offers for a lot of character insight. Going karaoke singing spontaneously is definitely a way to break all the ice. I wouldn't mind going camping for a night, just the two of us.
So that's a couple of random ideas. I don't have a specific 'perfect date', because the company makes it perfect and not a date that is neatly planned out. I like having room to be spontaneous.
Give us how you would describe your personality
I consider myself a little silly, I like goofing around and don't mind making a fool out of myself occasionally. Sport loving is definitely a personalty trait of mine. Weither or not I am good at the sport doesn't matter much, I just like moving my muscles. I'd like to think I am kind and understanding, at least most of the time. I am spontaneous rather than planned out. Most of my life doesn't have a plan. I don't have much discipline when it comes to household things. I can't stand cleaning, I can't cook, I often am in a hurry in the mornings and have to run through grocery stores to be on time. On the counterpart I am rather disciplined when dancing. I can go from serious to silly in a heartbeat if it isn't inappropriate in the situation. I try to talk things out instead of running away, I believe that communication is the key to a healthy relationship - romantic, friendly, motherly, or whatever.

Name: Janet Nicole Price
Age: 37 years old
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Number of kids: I have two children, both of whom were adopted from Ghana. My eldest is Abraham Price. He is fifteen years old and extremely intelligent. My youngest child, Aretha Price, is a bright six year old with an attitude almost as big as her mama's.
Where do you live?: My kids and I currently reside in a two story, four bedroom home in the suburbs.
Favorite things?: As crazy as it may sound, I love to work. I currently have the job that I've always dreamed of having. When I'm not working, however, I do love spending time with my kids. We often visit museums, amusement parks, and anywhere else they decide they may want to go. I love cooking, even though I don't get to do it as often as I'd like. I like trying out new recipes, but my favorite type of food to cook will always be Jamaican cuisine. Although not a big fan of sweets, I do have a soft spot for mint ice cream and peach cobbler. I also like to jog every morning before work; gotta burn off that cobbler somehow! At the end of the day, I like to wind down by sitting in bed with a glass of red wine and a good sci-fi film or football game. You'll also often find me listening to smooth R&B jams and old-school Hip-Hop music.
Least favorite things?: I am not a big fan of sweets, as stated before, but I absolutely despise any chocolate or coconut candy bar. Although I try to stay in shape and exercise, I do not enjoy a lot of physical outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and swimming. I am not a fan of most music that is played on the radio, especially country music. I'm also not very big on social media, even though I'm a member of every social media platform you can think of. Being the foodie that I am, I also dislike any food that isn't cooked... well, right. If I have to cover my plate with a napkin or fold it up before throwing it in the trash, then I'm definitely not coming back to your house for dinner.
Dog or Cat or Other: We have an eight year old pit bull named Queen. She's a sweetie.
Eating habits?: Anything and everything.
Occupation: I am a child/adult psychiatrist, currently working at a private practice.
Zodiac and how you feel about it: I am a Gemini. I've always been interested with zodiacs, but I've never taken it seriously. It's for fun, mostly.
Activity Level: Moderate.
Smoker?: No. I don't think that'd be good for my asthma.
Would you date a smoker?: Maybe. If they are more of a social smoker, I'd consider it. If they're smoking a pack a day, the answer will definitely be no.
Describe your perfect date: I've always believed that the perfect first date would be to go exploring and be tourists for a day. We'd hit up museums and famous landmarks in the city, snapping photos of the artifacts and ourselves. We'd stop at the street vendors and try new foods, or maybe just stop at an Italian restaurant for a pizza; I can imagine sitting outside under one of those umbrella's, people watching as we eat. This date is a great way to make lasting memories with my significant other all while learning and seeing something new.
Give us how you would describe your personality: I am a textbook Gemini; expressive and quick-witted. I represent two different personalities in one and you will never be sure which one you will face. I am sociable, communicative and ready for fun, with a tendency to suddenly get serious, thoughtful and restless. I am fascinated with the world itself, extremely curious, with a constant feeling that there is not enough time to experience everything I want to see. I'm a bit of a workaholic, and once I start something I will always see it through. Ever since I was a young adult, I've been a hard working, powerful, ambitious, and independent woman. I've never needed anyone to hand anything to me, because if I want something, I'll go get it. I try my hardest to be the best mother I can be, and will go to hell and back for my kids. When someone sees me for the first time, they may feel a bit intimidated by my confident stride and constant resting bitch face, but underneath it all lies a kind soul.
Name: Alicia Rose Sanders, but I usually go by Rose.
Age: Twenty-eight
Gender: Female, though I do have androgynous days and days where I feel like I should have a penis.
Sexuality: Pansexual, but I usually just say I'm bi, since everyone knows what that means.
Number of kids: Just the one. A daughter. She's 10.
Where do you live?: A rented house with a big yard in the outskirts of town. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room and kitchen.
Favorite things?: I like running and drawing. I also like collecting things. Cooking, and especially baking, relaxes me. I like cartoons, too. And comics. And I'm an amateur photographer.
Least favorite things?: Cleaning. Dealing with my baby daddy.
Dog or Cat or Other: My daughter has a bunny, but I like all animals.
Eating habits?: Other than not eating lamb or veil, my eating habits are normal, I suppose.
Occupation: (Certified) Personal nurse to a disabled man.
Zodiac and how you feel about it: Virgo. I do not really feel anything about it.
Activity Level: Pretty active, I'd say. I run 3 miles every day.
Smoker?: Ex-smoker. Stopped the moment I knew I was pregnant and haven't touched them since.
Would you date a smoker?: They'd have to be damn perfect, but I suppose I would not be completely opposed to it.
Describe your perfect date: Something casual, but personal. Something where we can talk. Not a movie, because we cannot talk and not a dinner, because we have to wait till the end of it to get away if there's not chemistry. Definitely something where we meet there, so there's no picking each other up. But I don't know. Maybe just a walk in the park and getting some coffee or something.
Give us how you would describe your personality: I think I'd describe myself as reserved or shy, but also as open-minded, helpful and loving. I'm very protective of those I love and very loyal, too. I'm not sure what else to tell you.
