Looking for love

Looking for Love is an agency that finds partners for single people of any age. Read about Lisa.

My name’s Lisa. I’m 25 years old and I’m from Manchester. I’m single and I’m looking for love.

I’m a journalist on a local newspaper, which means I write stories about local issues and sometimes I interview politicians. I like my job, but I’d like to work on a national newspaper one day. That’s because I want to have the opportunity to work abroad.

I have a small group of friends who I’ve known for years. I even went to school with some of them! I’m not really extrovert but I do like going out and having fun. We usually go out to parties, nightclubs, and restaurants. I also like cooking and I make great pasta! My ideal night in is a good meal, a glass of wine, and a DVD. I like thrillers much more than I like romantic comedies!

I’m not very sporty, but I like to keep fit. I stopped smoking last year and now I go running twice a week and I sometimes go to the gym at weekends. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and I try not to have red meat or too much coffee. At work, I drink water or tea.

I prefer men who are interested in serious issues because I like talking about politics and what’s happening in the world. However, I also like men with a good sense of humour. These characteristics are more important to me than physical appearance.

Please contact Looking for Love if you think you’re the kind of person I’m looking for!

Example: Lisa is _____.

A  married          B  divorced          C  single   ü
