I’ve been single for over a year and am about to turn 27 in less than a month. My mother is old school Italian and apparently she has decided to take matters into her own hands.

Sweetie,
An Italian student of mine, a real sweetheart, came to get some help with her Italian in my office today. She saw your picture and immediately said, “Is that your daughter? She’s gorgeous.” This girl, Isabella, is gorgeous, too. She’s 20 and works for a doctor who is of Italian background and may have even lived in Italy as a child. He’s 31 and still single! He is dark haired, nearly 6 feet, and sounds like a perfect catch. He’s family oriented, strong Italian cultural background, went to medical school here obviously. He has a thriving practice, likes dark-haired girls, has built himself a gorgeous home, goes to Italy frequently and plans to buy himself a house there. She went on and on how nice he is and how she has been working for him since she was 15 and is always trying to match him up. She and his mother work in the office. She was thrilled to hear about you, your background, etc…and wants to set up a date. He comes to New York city a lot because his sister goes to Julliard. She’s a make-up artist there. Well, we had a long conversation, and she seems to think that you may be just what he’s looking for (he’s fussy, too). Ah, yes, he’s also very romantic and very generous.
She’s going to bring me a picture tomorrow so that I can see how he looks. From what she described, he sounds like the type of dark-haired guy that you like.
What do you think???
