About the Daters:

Last book read:

Christina: "Charlie Wilson's War." I read too many newspapers a day and a lot of magazines, too, since I am a publicist.

Nathan: "Gentlemen of the Road" by Michael Chabon

Notable home accent:

Christina: My huge sailing photo. I'm very neat as well.

Nathan: The instruments strewn around the rooms.

Your dating history as a TV show:

Christina: A 30-year-old finds love for everyone but herself. I set up my two best friends with my exes, and they are now living "happily ever after."

Nathan: Shy guy from a countrytown lands in the big city. He has many acquaintances but finds it hard to find a young woman worth dating.

Your type:

Christina: Adventurous -- such as pilots or former Marine officers (wouldn't recommend, though). Educated, traveled, sweet, open-minded, who embraces and celebrates life.
