[color=4169E1]“Oh, I’m sorry, I think that came out wrong…”[/color][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=4169E1][center]Appearance[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=4169E1]Height:[/color][/b] 6’3”
[b][color=4169E1]Weight:[/color][/b] 190lbs
[b][color=4169E1]Build:[/color][/b] [url=http://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2016/01/18/16/Benghazi1801b.jpg]Ripped as fuck[/url]
[b][color=4169E1]Eyes:[/color][/b] Green
[b][color=4169E1]Hair:[/color][/b] Brown
[b][color=4169E1]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] Pale
[b][color=4169E1]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] None/Minor ones from fighting on his hands and arms/None
[b][color=4169E1]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Generally speaking, Darren dresses like your typical guy. He wears jeans, cords, shorts, shirts, polo shirts, plain tees, and the odd vest when it is really hot. Things like fashion aren’t really high on his agenda on a day to day basis. He’ll wear anything from hiking boots to sandals on his feet and he isn’t overly fond of accessories as he feels they just get in his way. Although, just because he likes to be casual doesn’t mean he can’t or won’t scrub up when the occasion calls for it. In these cases he’ll generally sport dressier shoes, a blazer, maybe a jacket and a smart shirt. For [i]really[/i] fancy occasions he’ll suit up.

He usually sports a very bushy beard and has short brown hair that is styled to suit his needs but considering how warm Africa is compared to Washington State, he’s opted to trim the beard down to a more manageable (and breathable) length. He’s got little crinkles at the sides of his eyes from being such a happy, friendly kind of guy. He looks totally approachable. Just sayin’.

[color=royalblue]“Was that too forward? Gosh, I’m really sorry. Won’t happen again!”[/color][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=4169E1][center]Psychology[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[i][color=4169E1][center]Down to Earth * Quiet * Caring * Athletic[/center][/color][/i]

[b][color=4169E1]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Heterosexual
[b][color=4169E1]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Separated
[b][color=4169E1]Personality:[/color][/b] He’s pretty much just a giant teddy bear with muscles. He’s the most down to earth, caring guy you could ever meet. He may not say much when he doesn’t need to speak, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have something to say. Darren doesn’t just do things for the sake of doing them. He has goals and ambitions for everything that he sets out to do. In fact, he’s using this experience not just to meet someone new, but as a means to get him to be a little less quiet in social settings when he isn’t drinking. So even if he doesn’t meet someone that he clicks with, he’ll still be leaving this experience a better person hopefully.

Despite being quiet, Darren is pretty damn forward. He knows what he wants and goes ahead and tries to get it. It’s how he manages to be so average in life but has rock hard abs. He decided one day that he wanted them and, oh hey look, he now has them. As much as it may seem like it, his life doesn’t revolve around fitness. From Monday to Friday it kind of does but he lives for his weekends which he likes to call “cheat-ends”. Yeah, he didn’t quite think the name for them through but the only thing he plans on cheating is his diet. He’s a strictly one woman kind of guy and loves opening up to people that he feels a connection with. Although, if there is no connection there, he won’t even waste his time on you. Oh and, one final thing, he’s a fucking weekend alcoholic. KTHXBAI.

[color=royalblue]“That sounds about right.”[/color][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=4169E1][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=4169E1]History:[/color][/b] He was a typical American boy from Washington state. He grew up in a household with happily married parents who raised him and his two younger sisters. He lived in a small town called Poulsbo and had a really average, but happy, childhood. He played football, hockey and baseball when he was younger. He was an avid swimmer and rock climber and he also liked to go for long hikes through the woods and up the hills and mountains nearby.

He went to college and got a degree in physical therapy. Then he took night classes while working as a physical therapist, to get his diploma in dietetics. He met his estranged wife in these night classes and they were married within a year of meeting (first red flag) but didn’t live together until a year after they were married (second red flag). Darren was 24 when he married his wife and she claimed to be 26. Darren found out on their wedding night that she was actually 33 (third red flag) but he didn’t care because he truly loved her.

They moved in together and lived as a married couple for two years before his wife decided that he wasn’t volatile enough for her (fourth red flag) and asked for a trial separation (fifth red flag). They still lived together but had separate rooms. His wife then decided six months later that separate rooms were not good enough (sixth red flag) and told him that she was moving in with her friend, Ezekiel (seventh red flag). Not long after she moved out, Darren discovered that she’d moved to Jamaica. Without telling him. With Ezekiel.

After being absolutely destroyed by the news, Darren made it his goal to make the most of himself and his life. He had been pretty healthy previously but he kicked it up a gear or five and got into the best shape of his life which is what led him to his career as a personal trainer.

Now after 6 years of online dating, blind dates and friendly fix-ups, Darren is ready to try something new.

[b][color=FF7F50]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] None/None/None anymore, formerly earlobes
[b][color=FF7F50]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Imogen is all about fashion meeting practicality. She can be seen in an assortment of all kinds of clothing which vary suited on the weather, temperature, location and function that she is attending. Generally speaking, she’s a fan of skirts and light tops with a jacket of some form to cover up when it’s windy. She isn’t adverse to jeans, shorts and other garments that cover her lower half. She isn’t a huge fan of dresses but she will wear what she must when she must, she just might not like it and will complain the entire night.

Her hair style always caries too as she is a fan of hair extensions and randomly dying her hair. The only reason that her hair is blonde right now is because the twins never give her enough time to do any dye jobs by herself. At least she can always get to the hairdresser for an hour every so often to get a new style. Right now her hair style is a long bob with a side-parting that sweeps around the right side of her face. Generally it’ll be a messy bob but when she has the time and desire to, she’ll do all manner of hairstyles by herself.

[b][color=FF7F50]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single (Mother)
[b][color=FF7F50]Personality:[/color][/b] Imogen is a very kind, caring kind of person. She is the typical mothering type of person and she wants to help everyone and take care of them. She usually always has a smile on her face and doesn’t hold grudges against people unless they really deserve it. She likes to help nurture positive traits that she sees in people, which comes down to her mothering nature.

Having twin girls under the age of 5 really takes its toll on Imogen. Despite being a stupidly happy kind of person, she is also very tired and lethargic occasionally. That shouldn’t be too prominent while at this speed dating event, in fact, she was really looking forward to being able to sleep for a week so she may seem extremely giddy at times.

She doesn’t know what she’s looking for in a guy exactly beyond someone that is good with kids. That is about the biggest concern that she has. It’d also probably be good if they weren’t a sex offender or anything bad like that…

[color=coral]“Nope, I’m sorry! It wasn’t me, I swear!”[/color][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=FF7F50][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=FF7F50]History:[/color][/b] Imogen grew up in a small farm village called Carriggower, Ireland with her parents and younger sister. She had an average but happy childhood with the usual problems that befell someone with a younger sister living in the middle of nowhere with no escape from the torment that that could bring. She has a fondness for animals and a great need for her personal space and time due to her childhood.

After leaving school at 16, Imogen found herself just wanting to travel the world and see where she fit in. She moved around all of the British Isles at first and then found herself branching out into Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Russia, Denmark, and Holland… all around Europe she travelled. It was in Finland that she met a man that was set to turn her world upside down. She hit that “summer love” moment with him and, 3 months later and two countries over, Imogen discovered that she was pregnant.

She travelled back home where her mother and father took her back in and then subsequently tried to set her up with every Tom, Dick and Harry that was single. After the twins were born, Imogen knew she had to move out of her parents’ home. Asking her little sister Siobhan for help, she was invited to live with her under the proviso that Siobhan could take care of the girls when Imogen was working. It was a done deal.
However, just because Imogen had escaped her parents’ home, it didn’t mean she had escaped her parents’ matchmaking services. Knowing that enough was enough, Imogen signed up for this dating thing online and is off to South Africa, leaving her babies behind without her for the first time in 5 years…

[b][color=FF7F50]Anything Else:[/color][/b] [list][*] Imogen believes in karma to an extreme amount. What goes around, comes around. This is like her religion.
[*] She has identical twin girls called Jenna and Jemma. She purposefully named them similar names so that it would be really easy for people to confuse them.
[*] She never confused her daughters for each other. They’ve both got completely different personalities. 
[*] She’s convinced her parents hated her based on the fact that they didn’t change their surname.
[*] Also her name sounds too much like “I moan” which coupled with her surname… *shudders*
[*] Imogen can speak bits of seven different languages not including her native tongues of English and Irish Gaelic. These languages are; Welsh, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Greek, Finnish. The only ones of these that she can speak fluently is English (duh), Irish Gaelic and Welsh. The rest are… smatterings of conversational items.
