Diane, a 24-year-old volunteer coordinator, enjoys spending time at Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain. While it’s romantic on its own, she hopes to share it with someone special.

Diane has soft spot for “How I Met Your Mother” funnyman Jason Segel.

Diane keeps a gluten-free diet and therefore wants a man “who appreciates healthy eating and cooking,” she says.

* Book worm
If Diane could have any superpower, she wishes she could speed read. “There are so many books, but not enough time in the day!”
