Phil\nThird-year Biochemistry student
What extracurriculars do you participate in?\nInternational Relations Organization, People United by Music and Arts, Free Tutoring, American Medical Students Association
What else do you like to do? Hobbies?\nRunning, cooking, soccer, salsa, being very bad at speaking Spanish, ice fishing
Describe your ideal date.\nMy ideal date would probably be Scarlett Johansson. If she is not available, I like pretty much any girl with a pulse. My ideal date would be on the moon. It's a little tough to plan out logistically, but I could see it happening.
If you could date any celebrity, who would it be and why?\nSarah Palin. She looks great, has solid family values and knows her way around an arctic wilderness. Also if she becomes president, then I would be the First Man. All the benefits of the White House and all I have to do is be eye candy.
Do you work out or play sports? How important is physical fitness in your life?\nI play intramural sports sometimes, or the occasional pick up frisbee or soccer game. Also I usually work out a couple times a week. I haven't been recently because I ran out of steroids, but I should be back in the gym soon.
What are your favorite books and authors?\nMy favorite books are books that make you reevaluate the way you think. So I loved "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged", "Siddhartha" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four". I also enjoy fun reads though like books by Dennis Lehane or Dave Barry.
What are your favorite foods? Favorite restaurant in Charlottesville?\nRight now I'm really big into making quesadillas, I make at least three a day because they are so easy and take less than five minutes. When it comes to going out, it's always a tough decision, but I think my favorite Charlottesville restaurant is The Varsity. Way up 29 but has amazing food.
Describe the best five minutes of your life.\nBeing born.
What would your theme song be? Why?\n"Sexy Chick" by David Guetta featuring Akon. It doesn't describe me at all because sexy chicks don't talk to me, but overall a really good song.
If there's one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be? Why?\nIf I could only change one thing about myself, I would have a lot more chest hair because that's the true sign of a man.
What do you want to do when you graduate?\nBecome a dentist.
Describe yourself in one sentence.\nI'm just an average guy trying to make it at an exceptional college.
Faith\nThird-year Architecture student
What extracurriculars do you participate in?\nSorority, intramural sports (soccer and ultimate frisbee) and ... Architecture School? I might want to get involved in either Habitat for Humanity or Freedom by Design.
What are the physical and personality attributes you are looking for in a date?\nPhysically, I'd go for someone who has a decent build, is fun to hug, tall. He's the guy who's maybe a little shy at first but easily warms up to people and turns out to be so awesome, someone who people just enjoy being with. He's interesting, motivated and has this amazing energy for living life to the fullest. He's dependable, confident but not arrogant, tolerant and has a contagious smile.
What are your favorite TV shows?\n"Grey's Anatomy," "Gilmore Girls," "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"
What's your favorite food / favorite restaurant in Charlottesville?\nIn downtown C-ville, the crepe place [The Flat] and the Thai restaurant on Water Street are awesome. Mudhouse for coffee, Guadalajara for Mexican. The Tavern or IHOP for breakfast foods - good at any hour.
What are your favorite books and authors?\n"Gone with the Wind" and "The Pillars of the Earth" are must-reads. And I'm not a reader.
What makes you a good catch?\nI'm not high-maintenance. I can be in a relationship with someone but still have my own thing going on. I'm trustworthy, reliable, chill and always down for a good time.
What's your type?\nAttractive and fun.
What hobbies/interests would you like to share with your date? What ways would you like them to differ from you?\nThey don't have to study architecture, but it'd be cool if they appreciated art. I'd like it if he played sports, was someone I could throw a frisbee around with. It'd probably even be better if we had different interests so he could share his interests with me (and vice versa). I love trying new things; that's the one interest I hope he'd have too.
Describe where you would go on your ideal date.\nDisney World, camping, anywhere we'd be doing something. Somewhere neither of us has ever been so we can laugh about whatever we're doing.
If you could have any superpower what would it be?\nFlying (clich
