Student Status
Student Status is a dating website for college and university students. Read Victor’s
profile on the website. My name’s Victor and I’m 25 years old. I’m from Brasilia
and I’m single. I’m studying Business Studies at London University. It’s really
interesting and I love London. My mum and dad are English teachers for an online
language school in Brazil – so my English is good. I want to work in Europe when I
leave university – perhaps at a travel company because travelling is my favourite
thing to do. People think that I’m a quiet person when I first meet them, but my best
friends in Brasilia say that I’m very talkative! I don’t like team sports very much,
but I love running. I run with a running group from my university. The people in the
group are very friendly and we see new areas of London every week – London is a
very beautiful city, but cold! I run most days, sometimes with the group and
sometimes alone, and I try to eat lots of healthy food. I live in a house with three
other students. We go out to a restaurant together every Friday night. I enjoy trying
new food and talking together. At the weekend, my three housemates like loud bars
and clubs, but I prefer museums and cafés. I’ve got short black hair and brown eyes,
and I’m slim because of all the running I do. Sometimes I have a beard but I don’t at
the moment. I’m looking for a partner who is kind and funny. I’d like to meet
 someone who has the same interests as me. Would you like to go on a date with me?
If so, I’m waiting for your reply!
