Jonah is 33 and living in Toronto. Some of his interests include the performing arts, outdoor activities and sports, and most recently, photography. He has that 'boy next door' look that I've always liked, and he even does volunteer work -- so clearly he's a better person than me. The only thing that doesn't fit is that he lists his occupation as "well, right now I get shot at a lot."
So obviously, that's got to be a joke. He has a sense of humour! Another checkmark in the 'plus' column for Jonah! I got an email from him asking how my weekend was going, so when I responded I also asked him what he does for a living, assuming maybe he was an actor or something. But it turns out, I was SO wrong. He does something called "Special Ops".
Above: The picture Jonah probably should have included as part of his profile.
Since I don't play video games, it took about four emails back and forth for me to figure out what exactly his job entails. I'm left with the impression that it's like being James Bond but there's no spying, just stunts and camouflage. Also from what I googled understand, it can be quite a dangerous profession.
So I have two thoughts on this. The first is, OMG this guy sounds awesome! Try to be cool so he wants to meet you! My second thought is, choosing someone for a mate who regularly dodges bullets seems like a bad idea. I know, I know, that's a long way off and I don't need to be thinking about that -- I hear you! -- but what if we were to hit it off? What if we end up together and Jonah's always away on some kind of security assignment so I never get to see him? And what if I fall for him and then he gets shot? That is A LOT of potential drama...
Kind of makes Alligator Bill sound like a safe choice, no?

Oh my gosh, you HAVE to date this guy. What a pic! Think of the harrowing stories he will tell.
