Here’s an example:
Meet my best friend Alex, the self proclaimed “king of karaoke”! They use they/them pronouns, and you truly haven’t lived until you’ve seen them belt out Total Eclipse of the Heart at R Bar in K-Town.
Alex is a Libra sun, Gemini moon, and Aries rising, which basically means they’re a social butterfly with just the right amount of chaotic energy to keep things interesting. They live in Silver Lake, and proudly shop at Trader Joe’s instead of Erewhon.
Relationship-wise, Alex is poly and looking for a primary partner. They’ve done the work, and are big on respect and open communication.
On a night in, you’ll probably find Alex curled up with their two cats and a horror movie they’ve already seen a million times (probably Midsommarbecause they have a huge crush on Florence Pugh). But on a night out, you might find them at a Damn Good Dyke Nights event, sweating through their tank top on the dancefloor.
For a first date, Alex would probably prefer being the one to make the plans. They might take you to an indie art gallery you didn’t even know existed, followed by some street tacos and a craft cocktail for a nightcap. Alex is a tattoo artist by trade so–be warned– they might bust out their tiny notebook during a date to jot down ideas if case inspiration strikes.
Everyone loves Alex for their directness and humor—they’ll never leave you wondering whether they’re interested in a second date, and will probably spam you with memes (it’s kinda their love language).
Alex also secretly knits! Play your cards right, and you might end up with a scarf to keep you warm on Valentine’s Day.
Honestly, Alex would make an amazing partner because they’re kind, thoughtful, and just the right amount of weird. They’ll make you coffee in the morning…and might tie you up at night (with your consent, of course)
