KB

Founder

I’m a bit of a wild card: on the outside, I’m a fun-loving party animal, but deep down, I’m a hopeless romantic just looking for love. I love a good adventure, trying new things, and making memories with friends, but I also enjoy quiet nights in, cuddles (2 minutes max), and watching romantic comedies. O and I’m the Founder of Dating Explained….or as I like to say, the first member.
