For those of you who know Ryan, you know just how lucky you are to have someone like him in your life. He’s kind, funny, and only enjoys watching sports teams with names that rhyme. You can win him over with some Chinese food or scare the living daylights out of him with a scary movie, but don’t get too excited yet. Ryan is, and has been off the market for a while now – but don’t fret! He’s always looking for new friends :) Say ‘hello’ to your new campus cutie, Mr. Ryan Slade!
