If her love life were a reality-TV show, it would be: "Tara Tequila"

What she's looking for: "Someone who is motivated, successful and outgoing. I want someone who feels comfortable being himself. A guy I can actually trust with everything."

Win her heart: "A perfect date would consist of us just getting to know one another over some drinks and, of course, the 'long walk on the beach' would be nice."

Wanderlust: "I enjoy traveling. If I could, I would go to every island. I love the beach. I love to hang out with friends and family and create memories."

Who nominated her: Family members

What she thinks of the local dating scene: "My impression would be how no one wants to commit anymore. Well, when I say no one, I mean men. It's like a game that everyone plays with one another. It just seems that every guy I come across is scared or has no interest in getting married."

Waiting in vain: "My whole life I dreamed of meeting that one great guy who would sweep me off my feet. And we would fall so in love and eventually get married. And I now find myself wondering if that's ever gonna happen. Like I said, it seems no one wants to settle down any more and be with one person. So, I feel like the only thing I ever wished for isn't going to come true."
