Adharsh Kumar
Age: 20
Follow Him: @adharsh1
Hidden Talent: I'm a hip hop dancer. I've been dancing for about five years. I watched Step Up, and then I was like I've got to learn how to do that!
Biggest Love Lesson He's Learned: You're going meet someone and you might think they're perfect for you, but it might end. The thing you have to realize is that certain people are right for you at certain points of time, but they may not be right for you forever. You need to be okay with that.
Sweetest Thing He's Done For a Girl: I knew my girlfriend was sleeping in that morning, and I was in a really happy mood. It just sort of hit me: "I should buy her flowers!" So I bought a bouquet of her favorite ones, went over to her house, and woke her up. She was really happy.
His Best Dating Advice: You need to retain a sense of yourself in a relationship. You don't want to become a chameleon and only like the things your SO likes. The reason that person was attracted to you in the first place is because you're unique.

His Ideal Dating Sitch: Having a relationship takes up a lot of your time. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but as long as it's a healthy relationship. I don't want someone who will bring me down. I think the best relationships are ones where you motivate each other to go after everything you want in life.
His Instagram Obsession: I love fitness. My Instagram is all about track (I run for my school) and fitness. When you show passion about something you love, people will respond to it. I've ended up getting over 30,000 followers!
He Wishes All Girls Knew That… A lot of times guys legitimately don't know when we do something wrong. If you get mad at us and we act clueless, you have to spell it out for us or else we'll make the same mistakes.
His Biggest Turn-Off: I don't like hearing the word "I" a lot. I want to talk about what you've done, but I don't want to hear you brag about yourself constantly. It's important that a conversation goes both ways.
The Coolest Thing a Girl Has Done For Him: Oh man, a girl gave me this box, and inside it there were twenty "Open When" letters that she had written me—like "open when you're having a bad day." She didn't buy it. It was all effort. She put so much time into it. That was the coolest thing, absolutely.

Duran Visek
Age: 19
Follow Him: @duranzilla
What He Looks For In a Girl: Her music taste. It really just has to do with me connecting with her. Sometimes I'll go up to a girl and be like, "What do you listen to?" and she'll say, "OMG, everything!" It's good to have opinions and a point of view. But I'd say the #1 thing is a genuine personality.
What Secretly Peeves Him: When you see somebody you're interested in like pictures of other guys, it's the worst. I just think, "Ugh!" I know it's a little silly. But I'm human, I can't help but feel a bit jealous about that.
Coolest Thing a Girl Has Done For Him: A girl got me a Macbook for my birthday once. She crowdfunded for it. I had been using all of my friend's computers and she noticed that, so she bought me my first one. I thought that was so cool.
His Most Romantic Move: I spent three weeks writing a song for someone. It ended up being recorded and added to my band's record. It was probably the most impactful and dedicated I've ever been to doing something for someone. I had to. I'm a hopeless romantic.

Jack Skuller
Age: 18
Instagram: @jackskuller
What He's Like In a Relationship: I have always been the classic romantic. I just want to make whomever I'm with happy.
The Most Romantic Thing He's Done: I named a star after my current relationship. It's a binary star, which when is two stars orbit around each other constantly. So I named it after me and my girlfriend. It was perfect.
The Best Love Advice He's Ever Gotten: Someone close to me once said: "Treat the one you love like you've known them forever, but also treat them like you've just met." That way you know you're together, but you're being spontaneous and reliving that fun part all over again.
What He Wishes Every Girl Knew: Guys are complex in that they're simple. We're not looking at how much makeup you have on, we just look at you for you. Also, sometimes we need a little hint. We don't always figure things out on our own.
His Favorite Song He's Written: I wrote this song "Tell Me Your Heart" and it was just about getting my partner to open up. The chorus goes, "Tell me your heart, tell me your head, tell me every word you've ever said. Cause I love you." It really means, I'm here for you, I'm not going anywhere, you can talk to me. It basically describes my dating personality.

Malik Lindo
Age: 18
Follow Him: @maliklindo
His #1 Dating Rule: I'm upfront. I like to be honest with girls. It all comes down to the honesty. Everyone has secrets and things deep down that they like to keep in, but you kind of have to be at peace with yourself and put yourself out there if you want something special with someone.
The Biggest Love Lesson He's Learned: You can't love somebody else if you don't love yourself. You have to be comfortable with yourself and secure about yourself before you can give your love to anyone else.
The Most Romantic Thing He's Done: I promposed to a girl with an extravagant dinner on Valentine's Day. We went to this really romantic restaurant and I bought her flowers. I even called early and I got the chef to write "Prom?" on the dessert in the chocolate sauce and everything. She was really surprised.
How He Preps For a Big Date: If I know I have a big date, I spend the whole day thinking about it—I try to pump myself up. It's almost like game day. Also, I can never figure out what to wear. I'll ask, like, five of my close friends what should I wear and stuff like, "Should I take her to this restaurant or is it too soon?" It's kind of embarrassing for me, because I'm not one of those guys that can just make the decision. I always need to ask my friends.

Steven Ren
Age: 20
Follow Him: @umphchao
His Dating Personality: I try to be romantic and outgoing. I've been with my girlfriend for two years now, but I still try to take her out to different places for us to enjoy. One time, for example, I took her golfing because she had never played before and she absolutely loved it. It's fun to try new things together.
Biggest Turn-Off: Arguing. I absolutely hate it. I'd rather talk things out rationally than wait until problems reach a boiling point.
Go-To Flirt Move: I'm really shy at first, so if I can't seem to get the attention of the girl I like, I randomly make a big uproar for no reason. Like when I first approached my current girlfriend, she was sitting by herself and I went up to her and yelled out "Who wants a chicken wing?" She laughed and we joked around with each other from there.
Best First Date Advice: Don't try too hard. The guy is there because he wants to be. There's a reason why he asked you and there's a reason why he likes you. Relax and have fun!

Tanner Zagarino
Age: 16
Follow Him: @tannerzagarino
What He Looks For In a Girl: I want to make sure her personality meshes with mine. I always look to see if she can make me laugh or if she's funny. I hate when girls are good looking and they think that's enough and that they don't need a personality.
Love Lesson He Learned The Hard Way: I used to really fall in love really easily and get way too attached. Like texting her every morning even if she didn't text me back, then I'd get all stuffy and angry that she didn't. Girls would be all like, "Wow, dude, back off." When you're young and in love it's crazy and it's hard, but you have to realize that your SO doesn't want you to be up their business all day.
Best Dating Advice: Be very straightforward. If you think your crush likes you too, it's better to get it out there in the open. Don't be afraid, because if you wait, that person might move on to someone else.
Relationship Pet Peeve: Don't talk about your relationship all over Twitter. The whole world doesn't need to know what's going on. The most I do is subtweet song lyrics. It's annoying (and not to mention hurtful) when girls have the most obvious subtweets when we're fighting.
What He Does to Relax: I love filming YouTube videos! I'm a fashion blogger and an aspiring actor, so you should check out my channel.

Winston Wright
Age: 21
Follow Him: @foyasol
His Relationship Personality: I would probably call myself a secret romantic. You have to pull that side out of me, I'm just not going to show a girl that side automatically. That's the side I don't really show to too many people… only someone special.
You Know He's Into You When... I want to know everything that's going on in your life. I want to know about the past, I want to know about everything. If it's just a girl I'm hooking up with, we don't really talk in depth like that. But if it's a girl I'm really into, like I actually like her, I want to figure her out. If she has any issues, maybe I can help her out. Maybe I have issues and she can help me out.
His Best First Date Advice: The best dates I've ever been on are the ones where we don't stop talking. Just keep the conversation going. The more you talk, the more you find out about the person. It always makes me think, "I found out a lot! I want to take her out on another date, so I can learn more." That's how the greatest relationships get started.
His Hidden Talent: A lot of people don't know I write poetry, because that's more of a thing I do for myself. I only read it to girls I feel very close to.
What He Wished All Girls Knew: You're not alone in being insecure when it comes to dating sometimes. Every guy is nervous, so don't just think it's just you.

Zach Bernatz
His Relationship Personality: I tried to be the "hookup guy" in the past and it didn't work out for me. I just don't feel good the next day. Now I try to be caring and understanding when it comes to girls.
What He Looks For In a Girl: I want a self-respecting girl who knows her worth and is looking for something mutual. And a girl who is confident. Confidence is a big plus because it tells me that she knows exactly what she wants.
His #1 Love Advice: Be yourself. It sounds corny and sometimes the date may not end up the way you want it to, but when you're dating and you're serious about and want to make a relationship you're almost hurting yourself by being someone you're not. Somewhere down the road they're going to end up seeing the real you and who you are, and if they can't accept that, then you'd rather find out and know on your first or second date than when you grow strong feelings for that person.
His Best First Date: My now-girlfriend and I matched on Tinder and decided to go see 22 Jump Street together. (I'll admit, not the most romantic movie ever.) It was awkward at first because it was literally the first time we had ever met. But then afterwards, we went back to my house and laid on my trampoline to gaze at the stars. We ended up talking for a good two and a half hours about everything—school, our siblings, food we liked, the list goes on. It's nice when you can talk to someone about anything and not feel uncomfortable or weird.

Follow Him: @romanera_lotus
His Ideal Date: Every now and again I want to see a good movie, but a date to me is something outdoorsy. I'd take a girl hiking or camping under the stars, and we could go to the lake and have dinner there.
What He's Drawn To: A girl's comedic side. If she can generally make me laugh, that's extremely attractive. I think what it really boils down to is that funny girls are confident. They're outgoing.
His Biggest Turn-off: If I have to say something, and you're on your phone the whole time, it gets to me. It's like pay attention, I have something important to say! Listen and look at me. Don't worry; I make sure I do the same.
His Secret Talent: I love writing. I have three books I've been working on that I'm trying to get published. One is called Black Lotus, another is a romance novel called Kill Me Softly. And then I have a comedy book called Safety Hazard, which is going to be so fun.
