ALSO ON PHILLY.COM
Age: 43
Job: Assistant clerk, Orphans Court
Neighborhood: West Philadelphia
Quality he most wants in a mate: Faithfulness
Dream date: “An evening of dinner and conversation.”
How he gives back: Planning an event called the Gentlemen’s Ball which would mentor eleventh and tweflth grade males and also teach graces. “We’re going to meet them all through the year to teach them values and try to help them get into school. Try to steer them on right way. A lot of African American young men, don’t know how to go out to dinner and how to eat properly and how to order from a menu. We want to teach them some of the finer things. They’ll learn to waltz...The twelfth graders will be in tails and the eleventh graders will have on regular tuxes. Every year, there’ll be a new cycle.”
On flying solo: “I enjoy it. I don’t have a problem with being single. I live alone.”
No live-ins need apply: “I don’t like that moving in thing. You’ve got your place, I’ve got my place. I tried that. It didn’t work for me. Too much togetherness.”
Dating pet peeves: “I don’t like clingy. I want you to be independent. Before you met me, you were independent. I want you to stay that way. If you go out with your girlfriends on Friday night, continue to do that. I’m going to do Wayne and you want to sit home and be mad because I’m out...When I see clingy, I run. I don’t like clingy.”
If his love life were a reality TV show it would be called: “How Did We Get Here?”
