NoVA’s Brand
I recently talked with a Northern Virginian who, like many of us, is looking for love. He’s 25, graduated from MIT and is now a consultant for the government. He says his mother has been his biggest influence, teaching him manners. However, he’d like to become more schooled in the area of intimacy.
Jeremy says that Northern Virginians definitely have a brand of their own: “We’re career-oriented. We want to build a career here, not necessarily meet someone or make it rich here.” Like the rest of us, he’s looking for a partner who has it all. On one hand, he’s interested in a woman who wants a knight in shining armor to rescue her but he also wants her to be somewhat domineering in order to “wear the pants.” Jeremy’s favorite part about NoVA: the people, of course.

I think in my opinion that we can all relate to Jeremy. At some point in our lives we stop and reflect on our relationships with people, especially our love relationships. I think that when the time comes, you will find that person. Like Jeremy said, he used to go out all the time to every social place to try and socialize. But as he said most single people go out to places where they believe they may be able to meet that one person, yet when we look back at it, most of us wouldn’t want to meet our partner in those kind of places. I also agree with Jeremy on how there are many people who may be compatible with us, the thing is that each and every one of them probably have their own goals. If they’re not right for us, they do leave us with lessons, things to be aware of next time we get into a relationship. I definately think there are so many way now in our deneration where dating is an important part of our life. Sometimes too much. I wish Jeremy the Best!
