Who is looking for the perfect partner this week?
Matt, 29, a scientist from Chicago, Illinois
Star sign: CAPRICORN
I travel a lot in my job. I go to meetings and conferences all over the
world. Its great for me, because I studied oceanography and
environmental science in college. After college I spent a lot of time
at sea on scientific research ships. Now that Im back in Chicago, its
much better for my social life. I have a lot of friends.
But I miss the ocean, so, in the summer, when I want to relax, I like
going to the coast, and sometimes I spend the weekend camping with
friends, having barbecues, and diving or surfing. Its great to get
away from the city and go to a different world
American Headway 2: Unit 1

I also enjoy weekends in Chicago. I like meeting friends,
hanging out, going to a baseball game. Im a Cubs fan. I
sometimes go clubbing, but not very often, and I love Indian
food. I go to an Indian restaurant at least once a week.

Who is his perfect partner?
My perfect partner is outgoing, funny, and good to talk to. She
dresses nicely, but isnt too worried about fashion. Someone
who enjoys having a good time in the city, but also likes
traveling, sports, and country life. This is very important to
me.
