Jeff, a 35-year-old painter, has a studio full of masterpieces — but his love life is still a work in progress. Ladies, put on your smocks, because he’s ready to paint you into his life.

* Mr. Right

“I’m not a commitment-phobe,” says Jeff. “I’m not afraid to connect with people.”

* Karate kid

Jeff has been practicing martial arts for 10 years. He’s a second-degree black belt in Uechi-ryu karate.

* Dive in!

“I love hanging out in places with casual, comfortable atmospheres, preferably with a bartender who knows my name,” says Jeff about his love of dive bars.

* Text factor

Leave your cell at home. Jeff’s biggest pet peeve is people who text while on a date.

* Tour guide

Put on your walking shoes! Jeff’s idea of a great date is spending a summer afternoon visiting Chelsea galleries and then walking the High Line.
