HC: What do you look for in a girl?
LS: Ambition is the most attractive thing to me. Having goals and dreams…and knowing that you’re serious about achieving them is important. And a sense of humor too, I love to laugh!
HC: Have you ever used a pick up line?
LS: I don’t use pick up lines. I think I’m naturally awkward enough.
HC: What is your biggest pet peeve in a girl?
LS: My biggest pet peeve is lack of communication. I think problems occur when couples stop talking and could be avoided if they continued to talk even when it was hard. Conversely, sometimes silence is louder. It’s tricky.
HC: Describe your dream first date?
LS: Anywhere the food is cooked right in front of you. I like to eat. Live music is a plus as well!
HC: Any deal-breakers?
LS: I think appearance is important so…a deal breaker for me will probably be disinterest in personal appearance.
HC: If you could be in any movie what would it be?
LS: X-Men. People tell me I’m clairvoyant so I think that universe is a nice fit.
HC: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
LS: I think Cuba Gooding, Jr. could play me. He’s one of my favorite actors and very underrated.
HC: Favorite 90s band?
LS: BLACKstreet
HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
LS: I see myself working in the field of education, probably as an administrator. I also write screenplays, so hopefully I can sell one before I turn 31.
