What do you look for in a significant other?
"A good sense of humor is always important, and she shouldn't take herself too seriously. She should be fun to go out with, and also be good company on a lazy Sunday. As far as looks go, I love a great smile and good skin. The less makeup, the better."

What are your fave L.A. hangouts?
"My backyard during the summer -— I love my pool days with friends. My neighborhood sushi spot, Yoshi's Sushi."

List three words that describe your personality.
"Texas (yes, it's an adjective), easygoing, and ambitious."

In your opinion, what makes the perfect first date?
"Dinner at a quiet restaurant with a warm and romantic atmosphere. We imbibe on a few glasses of good wine (but not too many). The night ends with an amazing kiss, and both of us looking forward to seeing each other again."
