I’m a 15 year old getting back into the dating lane after a bad break up. I would like a guy at least 16 or 17 who’s honest, funny, caring, considerate, and will treat me like a girl my age should be treated: With the respect and love that god and jesus gives us all.

Hello, My name is Tim Jones-15. I am a sophmore. I am 5′7″. I make decent grades(A’s, B’s, and the occasional C). I am on my high school football teem as a 2nd string linebacker. I have not had much luck dating so far. I have had only 3 girlfriends. The kind of girl that I like are those who are pretty AND nice. Because it shows that even though they have good looks, they aren’t full of themselves like many pretty girls are and it shows that they are a good person.

Hey. I’m Jenna, 16, and have never had a boyfriend. The kind of guy I want to date is kind, sweet, generous, a gentlemen, a good sense of humor, and loves the Lord. A guy that can just let loose and be a dork, a guy that actually cares about me and wants to know what’s on my mind. Oh, and it be great if you were cute, lol.
