Name: Melissa A. Matarese

Dating status: Single

Year: Sophomore

Major: Neuroscience, Economics minor

Favorite place on campus: The gym or tables outside the library

Hobbies: I was a competitive equestrian for many years. I am an avid skier who is always up to hitting the slopes. I like to play tennis and racquetball. I play the alto sax and piano. Be glad I don't sing, as I tend to torture the passengers in my car

Pets: Golden Retreiever, horses, my brother had a lizard but it died. Don't forget the mice that live in the Bradford.

Hometown: Franklin Lakes, N.J. and Nantucket for the summer!

High school: Horace Mann, N.Y.

Height: 5' 8"

Hair color: Dark brown

Eye color: Dark brown

Favorite Color: Pink, it's not even a question.

Favorite food: I'd have to say artichokes, not kidding. Mom raised me well.

Favorite clothing item: Tight Seven jeans

Your best quality: I'm outgoing and approachable; quite the people person.

Your worst quality: I'm a perfectionist.

Your pet peeve: It drives me insane when people are late. I also am incapable of procrastinating. My roommate from last year can attest to this fact.

What's the biggest turn-off when you're with a guy? I can't stand when guys play games. Say what you are thinking. Cut to the chase, please.

What's the biggest turn-on? I love a bright, big smile. Also, I always fall for the nice, polite guy over the asshole.

Which characteristics does your ideal man possess? I'm too picky, and I'll never find this person, but here it goes: compassionate, polite, smart, funny, driven, athletic, and yes, good looks do help. I love being around someone who can make me laugh and have a good time.

What's your ideal date? You could call me old school, but I enjoy any excuse to get dressed up. Going out to dinner is always a nice way to spice up the monotony of Charles Village. I love exploring Baltimore, especially discovering downtown areas. I also don't mind staying in sometimes, cuddling up and watching a movie.

What's your weirdest habit? I am a compulsive gum chewer when I study, and it better not be spearmint because it makes me nauseated. I sometimes ask strangers to spit their gum out.

Flowers or jewelry? Jewelry if it has been awhile, otherwise flowers are a sweet gesture.

How soon after a first date can a guy hope to "score" with you? Let your imagination run wild.

What fetish are you most tempted to try?

Honestly, whips and chains give me nightmares. Role play, save that for Halloween night. Chocolate whipped cream will suffice. Grapes on a hammock are hot, too.

Eye color: Blue

Favorite Color: Pink!

What's the biggest turn-off when you're with a guy? Arrogance and trying too hard.

What's the biggest turn-on? Eyes, preferably blue and a really good sense of humor. I also really like accents (except Northern ones).

Which characteristics does your ideal man possess? Sense of humor, well dressed (preppy is always good), down to earth, sweet, attractive, spontaneous.

What's your ideal date? Something low-key, maybe a casual dinner outside or just walking around a park or Georgetown or something relaxed like that. Nothing fancy, just fun. No matter where you are you can have fun with the right people.

What's your weirdest habit? Taking out the trash every five minutes! I hate trash.

Flowers or jewelry? I will never turn down jewelry, but flowers are also really cute and flattering. Its always fun to get flowers.

How soon after a first date can a guy hope to "score" with you? Guess you'll have to find out for yourself.

What fetish are you most tempted to try? Food play ... whipped cream ... mmmm.
