About Cameron: With more than 10 businesses under his belt, he's an entrepreneurial wunderkind who's been written about in more than 200 newspapers and magazines worldwide. He often feels as if he leads two different lives: an unusual 20-year-old professional life and a typical 20-year-old personal life. If you'd like to read about more about his accomplishments, log onto www.cameronjohnson.com.

School: He spent two years at an all-boys boarding school, Woodberry Forest, but he left after two years to finish up at Patrick Henry High School. Cameron's father initially rejected his decision to leave Woodberry Forest, insisting that Cameron must pay him $25,000 if he were to attend PH. Without hesitation, Cameron brandished his checkbook.

General interests: Soccer, making money, girls, having fun and traveling.

Where you're most likely to find Cameron: Because he's younger than 21, he says it's hard to find places to go. Once he's 21, he'd probably go someplace such as Corned Beef or Awful Arthur's. For now, you'd probably most likely find him at a party in South Roanoke.

Cameron's routine when he goes out: He doesn't have one.

How long Cameron has been single: More than a year.

Pro of single life: You're not tied down to anything or anyone.

Con of single life: Not having someone to share everything with.

Who Cameron would like to meet: Now that she's single, Jennifer Aniston.

How he rates Roanoke's single life on a scale of 1 to 5: 3

Why? Like any other city of this size, the small population can be limiting, but it can also work to your advantage. You're more likely to meet someone who knows a friend or at least an acquaintance of yours. However, this proximity can heighten the intimacy between two people.

Best date in Roanoke: To go out with a group of people and grab a bite to eat at someplace such as Buffalo Wild Wings or Corned Beef, depending on the girl.

Worst date in Roanoke: To go out one on one for the first date. One-on-one first dates can be uncomfortable if one person is more interested in the other; group outings reduce this pressure.

How to approach Cameron: He usually goes out with a group of friends. If you know one of them, it helps your chances.
