Location: Roanoke

Age: 33

Sign: Libra

Occupation: Anchor reporter for WSLS (Channel 10) and part-time professor at Virginia Tech and Hollins University.

School: He received his bachelor's in broadcast journalism at Texas Christian University and his master's in mass communication at Texas Tech University.

About Jay: Informed, frank and funny

General interests: Cooking, movies, jogging and dogs, especially his Welsh Pembroke Corgie, Brinkley.

Where you're most likely to find Jay: Metro

Jay's routine when he goes out: He has martinis at home and then usually goes to dinner someplace downtown such as Billy's Ritz, Metro or Dolce.

How long Jay has been single: 3 years.

Pro of single life: The freedom to do it all.

Con of single life: It's a double-edged sword because sometimes it's nice to know someone's worrying.

Who Jay'd like to meet: First and foremost, a woman with a good sense of humor. An intelligent, good conversationalist is also a priority.

How Jay rates Roanoke's single life on a scale of 1 to 5: 2 1/2

Why? It's a great place to raise a family, but it's not conducive to meeting other people, particularly other young professionals.

Best date in Roanoke: Dinner at his place and then Metro for after-dinner drinks.

Worst date in Roanoke: Bowling or, even worse, Kabuki. He loves the food at Kabuki, but it's not his ideal dating spot. There are too many people, and flying food can be unnerving.

How to approach Jay: With confidence and a smile (he's a sucker for big smiles).
