Personal+Ads

Have each student take a personal ad and read it. Explain any words or phrases that are that are unfarmiliar. Have the students talk to each other to try to find a match based on their personal ad. Once everyone has found a partner have the students stand in front of the class and explain to everyone why they are compatible. They should do this without the help of their papers.

I am 26 years old and work-full time while pursuing a Master's degree. I enjoy new experiences and am outgoing and fun. Intelligence and humor are important qualities to me. My ideal match must be creative, and be able to carry a conversation. A love of travel, the outdoors, and wining and dining is a plus.

I was raised by my grandmother who told me to cherish everyday life, to feel happy for what I have, and not to be sad for what I do not have. I would like to meet someone who is close to my age, someone who is honest to other people and to themself. Someone who understands that no one is perfect.

I am an eclectic person with a strong sense of self and purpose. I am looking to share new experiences with someone special as I enjoy this journey on earth. I am continually learning and evolving into a better human being. I am one who loves to cook, read, and listen to music, I am a huge sci-fi fanatic. I enjoy dancing, watching movies, and relaxing nights at home. I am interested in a confident person. One who is a lover of the outdoors, family, music, and experiencing new things.

I’m a swedish person who’s looking for someone to talk to, and maybe meet in the future. I’m a photographer so thats my biggest interest. I love music and I mostly listen to hip hop, RnB and soul. race is not an issue for me hope its not for you either.. write me something!

I like to have fun with whatever I do. If I am not enjoying it then it isn't worth doing. The simple things can sometimes be the best things in life and as the saying goes ‚”The best things in life are free” I don’t like people that play games because life is too short. I want someone that is down to earth and comfortable in their own skin.

I prefer tea over coffee, sneakers over 4" heels, dogs over cats, and slim bodies over muscles. I like both new and old, (love going to antique/thrift shops), junk foods and healthy foods, and city and country. I have many interests such as art (going to museums & galleries), extreme sports (inline skating, skateboarding, etc), theater (I wish tickets were cheaper). I also like crafts like pottery and glass blowing. Salsa dancing is something that I have always wanted to try. If you have similar interests, I would love to get to know you

Attractive, dominating, sincere person seeks submissive, obedient, smart, reliable mate. You must have the courage and commitment to put your trust and yourself in my hands. I am dominant in nature and spirit. If you respond to this ad you must be in need of an aggressive, smart, controlling and dominating character. You must be willing to relinquish control and let me lead.

I am a girl who love to laugh as much as I can cause' I believe it makes a person brighter in a way. Sometimes, I prefer not to say anything and just listen. Sometimes, I will to do anything just make my friends laugh. Sometimes, I perfer to cry like a baby. People think the reason I am alone is because I have a high standard. They don't know all I am asking is someone who I can laugh with and understand my jokes.

I'm a writer at heart but am going to graduate school this fall; the goal is to get a job in an industry that i actually care about. I love to workout, read good books, go to the movies, spend a night out in the city at a bar, play as much ice hockey as possible, and ski whenever I can get away from the city. I try to cook but my apartment is often too messy for that. You better have a good sense of humor. We should be able to get in a heated argument about politics or literature but act really silly five minutes later. If you can take my sarcastic sense of humor, then that's just gravy. Mad props if you're a movie buff and willing to try interesting/random restaurants.
