Alex, West Pennant Hills

Look no further on your hunt for the Hills’ most eligible bachelor. I am a man of many talents and masks. You may call me Alex. Why am I looking for love? I hear you ask. Let me begin by telling you a bit about myself.

When I’m not enjoying a long sunset stroll down the cricket pitch, you will find me perusing through the pages of Albert Speer’s Inside the Third Reich. Whilst you will not be replacing the company afforded to me by my dog, Rexy, you will come close. For that, I will treat you to romantic, windswept drives in my 1989 MX5, complete with suspension low enough to notice even curvature in the road.

If I haven’t already got you dashing to the computer to seek me out, I must also make you aware of my dashing talents behind the film camera. After spending some time with me and my film camera, your Instagram will become a gallery of hip and edgy snapshots in time. I will be the envy of the boyfriends of Instagram everywhere.

This Valentine’s Day, the time has come for me to find the woman of my dreams. I hope the Hills Shire Times strings their Cupid’s bow and sends me off into a journey of love.

Billy, Frenchs Forest

Looking for love so I can go to Wharf bar and be like ‘Hey everyone you should all buy me beers and get around me because I have a girlfriend now.’

Then I would point to her and everyone would be like ‘Nice one Bill.’

After that the mayor himself would come in and give me the key to the corso. No more lining up for Bill!

With my master key I would open one of the ice cream stores and let my new girlfriend have whatever flavour she likes !! Even if I personally did not enjoy that flavour. That’s love I suppose.

Finally I would use my master key to commandeer a manly ferry and harass some of the guys on jet skis at Little Manly, see how they like it.

And that is why I’m looking for love.

After attempts at online dating and meeting people out and about, Juliana continues to search for Mr. Right.

In a day and age where it can be not only difficult to find someone who\’s serious about dating, it’s on another level to find someone who you are truly compatible with.

Being young and ambitious, Juliana has achieved much of her life goals to this day - such as starting her successful business at the age of 19. She’s now keen on finding that final puzzle piece to complete her picture.

Her passions include a wode range from ethical veganism and baking, to ocean and environmental conservation. Her favourite dates are cute sunset picnics. She desires to make the world a better place, one step at a time. She would love a partner that aligns with these values, that desires marriage and children in the future.

Chloe, Oxley Park

I’m 22, a bartender & a total bad ass. I’m looking for someone that is looking for something on the serious side of things so one day I’ll be walking down that aisle. I’m very adventurous and down for a drink or 2. I enjoy being outdoors and having a few snorkels with the girls chugging them Smirnoff’s. I can’t wait to see what hot singles are out there.

Rebeccah, Claremont Meadows

The reason I am looking for love is because I have a little girl who is my whole world. I would love to share my world with someone I can call my best friend and my partner. I don’t just want to look for someone to be by my side, I want to find someone that is worth sharing all the beautiful things this world can offer at an entire new level that you can’t with just anyone. I would love to find that connection with someone and share good conversation as they are trusting, loyal and compassionate. I would love to find that someone that has so much passion for me as well for my daughter to make her smile and laugh everyday. I want to find someone wants to start a family, that is willing to put their families needs before them, to be committed and would want to grow old with me.

Elizabeth, Bradbury

I am a 29 year old female.

I love to give, be in a partnership and help someone achieve their dreams. But I also want someone to help me achieve mine. I want someone who is a partner, not a project. I have been with men that have wanted me to wait on them hand and foot. But I am better then that. So now I wait for someone who wants a partner, not a Mummy or Maid.

If it doesn’t happen i’ll still be happy and fulfilled but I hope it does.

Megan, Valley Heights

Looking for true love! Sick of fakes and users. I want someone to get to know me for me and not for how I look, I lofe changing my hair so I get different people attracted to me all the time. But I want guys to actually approach me and not be worried to. It makes me wonder if I’m ugly or they are intimidated?!

Leesh, Tuggerawong

Hi there,

I’m Leesh, 26 and have been a Central Coast resident since I was born.

Valentine’s Day isn’t easy for many singletons out there, I of which am one of them. After many years of failed dates, hours wasted on dating apps and a genuine desire to find my forever person, I turned to a Bunnings to try my luck in love as that place is renowned for attracting hard working genuine guys which are just a few traits I hope to find in a guy

Despite having no luck in finding a partner when visiting my local hardware store, I certainly haven’t given up on my search, you’ll find me around the coast looking in places outside the regular locations you’d go looking for love.

I believe there’s someone on this world for everyone and you never know where you might find them.

Sheree, West Wallsend

I am applying to be one of the top 10 female single ladies for Valentine’s Day.

I have been single for nearly 11 years. I am 36 years and looking for love.

I am at the age where I am looking for someone to make memories with, share my experiences with and someone to call my best friend.

I haven’t had a proper date since February 2019.

I’ve tried many forms of dating, online, friends, tv and overseas. But I don’t seem to have much luck.

Hayley, Toukley

I’m Hayley, and i’m looking for love, i’m an outgoing, bubbly person who’s looking for her best mate and love of her life. Whether you can play beer pong like a god or know all the words to The Simpsons episodes, you’re the one i’m looking for. I’ve got a 6 year old sausage dog that is my favourite sausage to come home to, but that can change. All up just want someone i can be myself with and have fun making memories in life with.

Rachelle, Erina

Why I am looking for love? Isn’t it as you start approaching 30 that’s when you start to wonder .. hold on. Why am I single at 28 and the most love I get is from my cat hmm.

I wouldn’t say I am looking but I’m opening to exploring and after many.. many failed attempts. Why not see if the central coast can provide what most of the rest of Australia has failed to do so, I mean that literally. Been all around haha

So here I am. 28 and tattooed in more than a children’s colouring book, hair brighter than my sparkling personality or so my mum says.

I enjoy the old Netflix but let’s do something fun like eat out weight in sushi or go for a drive up the beautiful coast to get to know one another.

Lani , Narellan

I’m 32 and have been single for the past 8 years! I have tried every single dating app you could possibly think of, I have even tried developing my own dating app in the hope I could find love! I am also considering applying for MAFS 2022 if I do not find love this year. There has to be someone out there for me! Can you find him in the MacArthur area? Helpppp!

Ashtina, Bella Vista

31 year old English female, looking for someone to join me on long walks by the beach, candle lit dinners......

Who am I kidding just looking to meet a half decent guy who is genuine and honest and most importantly looks like his Tinder profile!

Kia, Bligh Park

My name is Kia, I am 33 years young. I have been single for just over two years now, I’ll admit I’m fussy... if it’s not fun I’m not doing it. But hey life is short so I only want the best. I own a hairdressing buisness so most of my focus is on building and maintaining my little salon. I suppose I’m open to love not nessesarily looking for it just wana bump into someone who is loving their life just as much as I’m lovin mine x

Debbie, South Windsor

I’ve been single for 6 years, going on 7. Haven’t had a relationship in that time. I need someone who is family oriented as I have kids. I miss the feeling of having a man to come home to. I miss the affection, the love, the attention. I want someone who wants me for me.

Chloe, Glenmore Park

I have been single for the last 2 and a half years and in between this time, I have never been more used and my worst nightmare, GHOSTED!

So, I guess with the cards I have been dealt with and being ghosted all the time, my life would not be as happy without the love I desire, and I know within my soul I just want what every girl does deserve, and that\’s to feel content. Looking for love to me, is more about finding someone worth sharing all of these wonderful and beautiful things in life with. Not to mention there’s nothing like coming home to the open arms of someone special when you think you’ve had more than you can take.

All in all, my reasons behind why I look for love, is to have someone to connect with, especially emotionally and mentally. It is hard to find that in this day and age we live in, but it’s rare also.

The main thing is, I want to have someone that I can be myself with completely. I want to be with someone where we can both receive what we want from the other person equally and respectfully.

I want to be in love, that real love and I only hope to really find that puzzle piece that will complete my life that I’ve yet to grasp!

Ainslie, Penrith

My fingers hurt from swipping on the dating apps every night. I’m convinced there is noone good left. I have been single for soo long. Dating is so painful and I’m ready to settle down. I have alot to offer lol I reckon I am a catch.

Katrina, Penrith

Never dated because the right one has never come along. Looking for love now that I have finally been able to love myself. Looking for love during a pandemic has been one of the hardest things because to be honest the guys on tinder are shit. Hopefully this finds me what I’m looking for. Patiently waiting to travel international again or finding someone to love. I wonder what will come first.

Lauren, Wagga Wagga

Hi I am Lauren I am 33 years old, no kids and never been married.. why am I single? I get this a lot and basically I just haven’t found my best friend to share a life or Valentine’s Day with. It’s tough out there so I am being brave and letting myself go and see what comes my way..

I love being with my dog named Brinkley, I enjoy most foods just can be indecisive (what women isn’t) I enjoy getaways, catching up with friends and family, board games, music, a good book, AFL and sometimes just chilling on the couch eating salt and vinegar chips watching Netflix.

I work in Mental health so I am always caring for others and would love someone to care about me, I have love to give and would like that in return.

I am looking for someone kind and caring, someone with some spunk or personality, and someone that I am attracted to inside and out and that doesn’t take themselves seriously, someone who can be goofy just like me.
