Most datable New Yorker
Samantha Driskill (left), 32, registered nurse, Financial District
“I’m a transplant from Alabama and I’m just a really open person who will try anything. I’m really girly but I love sports—I’m a huge football fan and I’ve started a growing love for the Yankees. I can cook like crazy, but it’s all Southern food, so you’ll have to appreciate fat—not on me, but in my food. I’m looking for a guy who’s spontaneous and randomly likes to go on road trips, because I will drive upstate at the drop of a hat. And he has to like football, because on Saturdays during the fall, that’s what I’m doing.”

“I am the most datable New Yorker, ever. Why? I’m interested in women and men (my last relationship was with a woman). I moved to New York to pursue musical theater and I’m also an artist—long form of saying I’m a waiter. I’m half Japanese and half Scottish, yet I’m constantly cast as Latina. I have a smiley disposition and a good sense of humor. I’m looking for someone who’s positive, liberal and kind, someone with a backbone and drive. That’s all I ask!”
