**What are you looking for in a Big?**
“I’d love a Big who is super outgoing, easygoing, and someone I can genuinely be myself around! It would be a bonus if we have a lot of qualities and interests in common, but I’m definitely open to someone different from me too. I’d love someone who is down to grab food, get coffee, yap about anything and everything, or make plans together. Mostly, I’m looking for someone who feels like an older sibling and someone I can build a really close relationship with.”
