MSUM student has three-page written application for all future boyfriends
MOORHEAD -- With dating as close as a swipe or click, most college students are picking up the phone or laptop when searching for love outside of the face-to-face.
But Minnesota State University Moorhead student Taylor Sele was tired of using today’s typical ways to try to find the perfect man.
So she turned to a method any business owner would be proud of. She’s taking applications. Sele has a three-page form prospective boyfriends can fill out, a questionnaire titled “Taylor’s Future Bae Application.”
Sele said she’d never fill out an application to date someone but yet considers it a good sign if a man will.
“If anyone is willing to fill out a boyfriend application, they are a good candidate to be my boyfriend,” she said.
The list of questions includes the basics like favorite foods and televisions shows and dating-show fodder like a description of a perfect date. But it also gives Sele a chance to broach some dealbreakers.
“If you don’t like dogs and prefer cats, your application is out the window. I’m not a cat person,” she said.
So far, she’s been on a half dozen dates.
“There are definitely a few front-runners,” she said.
