Tavin's wishlist

Before we got too carried away with finding new dates for Tavin, he wanted us to lay down some guidelines for those lovely young ladies wanted to Tweet him for a date. So in no particular order, these are a few of the things Tavin looks for in a girl.

A #DateTavin girl needs to love sports. We realize this is a pretty tall order, so it's okay if you'll accept Tavin's love for sports, even if you don't passionately shout at the football players through the television screen alongside him. Seriously though, it doesn't matter what time of year it is, Tavin will probably be talking about some game he has either just watched, is about to watch, or is currently watching.

A #DateTavin girl needs to be fun-loving. We enjoy referring to Tavin's childish behavior as "spunk" or "impulsiveness," but let's be real. Tavin knows how to be mature (and does it pretty well, might we add) but more often than not, he will try to make everything a game if given the choice.

A #DateTavin girl needs to be a church-going girl. Tavin often accidentally slips into his Scottish accent when he talks about his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but he won't ramble on about spiritual topics when it's clear you have no interest in the discussion. Many of the girls Tavin has dated went on missions themselves, so that should give you an idea of what he's looking for in a lady.

A #DateTavin girl needs to be active. Tavin not only loves watching sports, he likes to lead an active lifestyle as well. Whether it's playing a team sport like basketball and volleyball or taking part in other activities like rock climbing or swimming, a #DateTavin girl needs to be more like Tavin's training partner rather than his own personal cheerleader.

A #DateTavin girl needs to be kind. No one likes to be around someone mean, but playful banter between two people is usually a sign of friendship. An applied knowledge of the difference between teasing and rudeness is vital, as is an immunity to sarcasm.

A #DateTavin girl needs to be intelligent. Tavin told us he doesn't have insecurities around women who are smarter than him, but she can't be so much of a ditz that he can't carry on a decent conversation with her. A college degree isn't quite a must, but it certainly earns loads of extra #DateTavin points.

A #DateTavin girl needs to communicate well. Let's face it, Tavin doesn't pick up on a lot of little hints girls are excellent at laying down. He's not even good at reading those huge billboard-sized hints. Just say it how it is. Tell him what you really feel, what your hopes and desires are, what your dreams are made of, what you want for dinner, where in the world you want to visit, your insecurities, your fears, your rational or irrational perceptions, all of it. If you can't verbally tell him what's inside your head, he's not going to know.

A #DateTavin girl needs to be clean, both in personal hygeine and living habits. We're not talking OCD here, nor are we talking about what Tavin called "hippie gross." He doesn't mind clutter every so often, or those roll-out-of-bed-and-put-a-ponytail-in days, but Tavin said he finds overall cleanliness very attractive.

We know this seems like a long list, but bear with us. Tavin is a great guy, so we don't want to trust him with just anyone. Still think you qualify? Great, just shoot him a tweet with #DateTavin for a date. Not quite sure if you should? Do it anyway. Show your interest and let Tavin decide if he's good enough for you.
