Okay so here's the deal: I am a queer lady happily in a long-term monogamous relationship. BUT: I am also Jewish, and when I see excellent people who are single, it's a calling. So here I am, screening potentials for my good friends. (With their permission and blessing.)

Here are your options: Two completely different women. Both fantastic.

Lady #1:
30 years old. Librarian by day, lover of nerd rap and latin translations by night. She enjoys delicious food, intellectual conversation, and witty banter. Particular about her cocktails, she's the kind of lady who appreciates a trip to a museum or seeing a movie and then dissecting it over dinner.

For her I recommend: A nerdy gentleman. An excellent conversationalist, he could stay up all night analyzing film noir or just discussing the merits of an excellent beer. Dapper and smart.

Lady #2:
29 years old. Low key awesome, she has a secret feisty streak a mile wide. Her laugh is infectious, and she's game for anything. Flash dinner mob? Absolutely. Wander around an arboretum? Sounds lovely. Really, she's the kind of woman that you want on a desert island; whenever you need it most, she'll whip out a snarky comment or a much needed corkscrew.

For her I recommend: A laid back dude who's funny, extroverted, easy going, and kind. He can talk Jersey Shore in one minute and History Channel in the next. Equally likely to spend a Saturday working on some crazy new project or just appreciating the view outside his window. Not a vegan.

If one of these ladies is your style, please email i.am.a.yente@gmail.com with a few details about yourself and a proposed date idea. I will vet all proposals and pass on prospective suitors. Only the best for my friends, though, so be awesome.
