Tina Roberts, 45
general manager at crocker park
The perfect date: The person is more important than the date itself. I like to laugh, drink, eat and try new things.
Something most people don't know about me: I have a Harley. Growing up, my father rode Harleys all over the United States, and I always wanted to have one too. This summer, for the first time, my dad and I rode together.
My passion: To make the most of every day, to help others and to be successful.
My favorite ... sports team: I have a few. Michigan — Go Blue! The Patriots. The Indians. I'm trying to like the Cavs, but they're very disappointing. ... musician/band: I like '80s music. Journey's been one of favorites since high school. ... TV show: I don't watch much TV. I'd rather be doing something else. ... place in Cleveland: Crocker Park, of course. ... book: I have a favorite author: Danielle Steel. When I'm looking to de-stress and not think about anything, her books are perfect for some mindless reading. ... vacation destination: Anywhere with water. ... way to exercise: My girlfriend Leslie and I do the Nike training app on our iPhones. I like yoga, too. It's like a meditation as well as a workout. It's a good way of de-stressing after a long day of work — and I feel it in my muscles afterward. ... month: July. I like the weather. ...website: Facebook. ... drink: It's a toss up between a good glass of red wine and a cosmo.
My usual hangout: In the summertime I hang out in Catawba. My family has a place out there, and I have a boat and WaveRunner that I keep there.
In high school I was ... friends with everyone.
And now I'm ... still friends with everyone. I'm probably more outgoing, professional and driven than I was in high school.
My No. 1 dating rule: Laugh together and have fun.
My deal-breaker: Someone who's untrustworthy or dishonest.
On a first date I never ... go to my place or theirs.
Biggest turn-on: Flowers, romance and a caring individual.
Biggest turnoff: Someone who's unwilling to try new things.
My hidden talent: I like to make people smile and feel comfortable. And I'm good at it.
I own too many: Shoes. I have over 150 pairs.
My best feature: My hair. People think redheads are intriguing. There are not very many of us in the world.
My bad habit: I tend to talk too fast.
My first kiss: Surprising.
My guilty pleasure: Shopping. With my job, it's easier than it needs to be.
How my ex would describe me: Ambitious and driven to succeed.
How my best friend would describe me: Confident and courageous.
Going out or staying in: I like a combination of both. I like going out, but sometimes after a long week, dinner and cocktails at home are great.
Early, late or right on time: Early or right on time.
Morning person or night owl: I can be either.
Dogs or cats: Dogs. I've had both, but I think you can have a better bond with a dog.
iPhone or Android: iPhone. I've had both, but the iPhone is so much easier to use. I also tend to like Apple products.
Dancing ... yes or no: Yes. I'm not very good, but I will anyway.
Twitter ... yes or no: Yes, I have a Twitter account. I don't use it very often. I can take it or leave it.
My longest relationship: I was married for 14 years.
My biggest goal right now: To get through the expansion at Crocker Park.
Celebrity crush: I don't really have one.
Most unusual place I've met someone: Coming out of the restroom at work.
My take on Cleveland's single scene: I think Cleveland has a lot of outgoing and ambitious singles.
What do you find sexy about yourself? My combination of confidence and courage, and my ability to make people feel comfortable.
Why do you think you are single? I have been busy getting to know my new position and with life in general, but I am ready to take the time to get out there and meet the right person.
