Katy Johnson Interview
What annoys you most about today’s dating scene?
I just got out of a 7-year relationship and I truly haven’t dated much, I’m just so picky and American guys just don’t seem to be as romantic and chivalrous as the Europeans. (My ex-was British)
What is your preferred way to meet new people?
I honestly am so extroverted I meet people everywhere! I literally can walk into anywhere and I’ll just start speaking to people about what they’re eating, wearing, the weather, I’m that person that just starts convos and doesn’t shut up a lot as well! Haha!
Which qualities draw you into someone new?
I love people that are confident and fun, I love people that are engaging and silly and don’t act too good or uptight!
What do you believe are the keys to a lasting (and fulfilling relationship)?
Honesty, Love, and not expecting so much, I think we expect so much out of our partners, we expect them to be perfect and to always cater to our needs but that’s unfair and unrealistic. You need to work together to make your relationship work, they’re not easy and so many people just give up. Remember it’s a team effort, find someone you want to be team mates forever with not someone you just have great sexual chemistry or you’re super attracted to as that all fades and changes.
Which 3 qualities would you say you prefer most in a man?
Kindness, sense of humor, compassion.>
Do you have any pet peeves when it comes to dating/meeting guys?
I dislike liars, smokers, arrogance, and dirt under the fingernails! Yuck!
