Home: Roanoke

Age: 30

Sign: Scorpio

Occupation: Pastor at Price Memorial AMEZ Church in Roanoke

School: Graduated from University of Tennessee with a degree in political science and a minor in public relations.

About Ray: He's a clever, adventurous and independent class clown.

General interests: Politics (his childhood dream was to be governor), bowling, shopping, traveling and music. He's planning to eventually enroll in law school.

Where you're most likely to find Ray: Barnes & Noble, Paradox, Cornerstone or No Shame Theatre.

Ray's routine when he goes out: Before heading out to one of the venues listed above, he likes to observe Roanoke's downtown scene at Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea.

How long he's been single: Since August 2001.

Pros of single life: You make your own rules — you can stay out as late as you want and spend as much money as you want.

Cons of single life: Not having someone to share your day with and having to go on out-of-town trips by yourself

Who he'd like to meet: An independent, strong-willed woman who has a good sense of humor and knows what she wants

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

Why? There's a fair amount to do, but you might have to search around a bit in order to find out what's going on.

Best date in Roanoke: First eat dinner at O'Charley's, then catch some live music at the Brambleton Deli and end the night dancing cheek to cheek.

Worst date in Roanoke: The standard dinner-and-a-movie date. You don't have much time to talk and planning the date takes little creativity.
