    They should interview the guy after the date as well. Maybe he also think they can at best be friends. Sometimes we need to take a good look at at ourselves before setting so many criteria

    It's great to have a list and hold on to the list! Being single is better than to be w someone who doesn't fit the criteria. Keep it up, Sue Ann! Just take the time to know more ppl. Hope you find the right guy :) enjoy your precious singlehood in the meantime!!

    Hey Sue Ann, WJ seems nice. Don't lose hope! I think try to sit back and wait for him to ask you some questions, rather than sending all the questions his way. There are things like shoes that can make a guy seem taller, sometimes the perfect guy for you is just 10cm shorter. Because the 10cm taller guy wants women with other criteria too. All the very best! Dont give up and keep meeting people.

I don't really get the attraction to tall guys either. To me guys with liberal values, a curious mind, a shiny backbone and loves dogs are always way more attractive. WJ mentions Nietzsche, I'm more of a Camus girl myself, hopefully one day I too can find someone who is into philosophy to go on a date with 😆

No need license, no governor bounding, no contract agreement! Better than working in real estate. To get a life partner, just open your mouth ask on the street, go attend conferences, camping or mountain hiking tour, biking tour or backpack tour…u will need a lot of buddies. Gila!… pay $2000.

    There is nothing wrong with the girl or the guy. But just that they are not for each other. Not sure is it how this video was made. The guy comes across as geeky, meek and pretty introverted. While Sue-Ann is pretty assertive. I am not a person to judge either of the couple, but I would say Sue -Ann will prefer a person who takes more of the leadership role in the relationship even though I’m not saying she be the submissive one. WJ won’t be the one for her. There is also nothing wrong with WJ, nothing wrong with being geeky or meek or introverted, but when it comes to dating and relationship, pls learn how to juggle the game and hold the reins. Girls are usually more impressed with guys who take the initiative and show the guy/male side in them.
