Act. 3 Story Telling

Are You The One?

My name is Ricky. I am an American. I live in Chicago, Illinois. My parents were born in Puerto
Rico, so I speak English and Spanish. This March I will be 35 years old. I am a divorced father of
two children. Jayden is five years old, and Emilie is two and a half years old. We live on 7034 Oak
Road.

I am co-owner of an engineering company. My favorite pastimes are all types of sports, especially
sailing and soccer. I enjoy Chinese Food the most. I also like to watch action movies. I am looking
for a serious relationship with an interesting woman who loves children. Ideally for me, they are
between twenty eight to thirty five. In four years, I hope that my company will be making a lot of
money and that I will be financially independent and in a stable, long-lasting relationship. If you
have the qualities I am looking for and are interested, please give me a call at (851) 67942 or 0835
6814 7293.
