Friends say: “I’m a great listener, I’m considerate of others and I have a contagious laugh.”
First-date turn-on: “A confident woman who’s not afraid to make the first move.”
Sweet seduction strategy: “If I’m into a girl, as we’re saying good-bye, I’ll grab her hand, kiss it and let her know how much I enjoyed being with her.”
On-the-job joys: “I’m a soccer coach at the United States Military Academy Preparatory School. I love teaching young, eager players a sport that I love and couldn’t live without.”
Craziest get-her-attention antic: “I was out eating with some friends, and I used my spoon to catapult a meatball toward a table where an attractive girl was sitting. I ended up getting her number because I offered to pay for her clothes to be dry-cleaned.”
Exotic taste: “I like a woman with dark hair, beautiful eyes and a nice complexion. I’m also a sucker for a girl who carries herself well.”
Make-him-melt words: “Do you want to expand your horizons?”
