Corey was recommended by another one of our awesome single friends, Amy: "I have this friend, Corey. I've known him for five years now and he is still one of the nicest guys I've met in California. He's genuinely friendly and has that rare ability where he makes everyone feel comfortable—I'm sure his great sense of humor and killer smile don't hurt! He's down to earth even though he is super smart (just finished grad school at Stanford) and talented (laaaadies, he plays the guitar). If you're looking for a great guy who is easygoing and always up for exploring LA, Corey's your man."
Here's Corey, in his own words:
What's at the top of your LA bucket list? Still looking forward to checking out Catalina. Day trip anyone?
What's your favorite neighborhood in LA? I'm partial to Manhattan Beach and the South Bay in general. It's a mellow area that flies under the radar and blends the good about LA with less of the stereotypical nonsense. You can't go wrong.
Dive bar, cocktail bar or juice bar? A rooftop cocktail lounge with scenic views and ample people watching.
What's the best thing about dating in LA? Age is really just a number. There are worse places to be 31 and single than a city full of attractive, ambitious, single women.
What's the worst thing about dating in LA? People can be skeptical of genuineness. I suppose that should be expected in a town of aspiring superstars, but I think everyone can stand to let their guard down from time to time. Authenticity still counts for something.
What's the most interesting date you've been on so far in LA? I'm still waiting to take a girl to Terranea resort.
