Tali was recommended by her friend Abigail: "I have this friend, Tali. She's a blast. She is exciting, interesting, fun and very kind. Also, Tali plays on LA's best all-female basketball team, the Pistol Shrimps, which only adds to her coolness. Let's get her a boyfriend!"
Here's Tali, in her own words:
What’s at the top of your LA bucket list? Sitting court-side at a Lakers or Clippers game.
What's your favorite neighborhood in LA? Koreatown, where I live, because I'm two blocks from Wi Spa. Also it has some of the best dumpling spots and dive bars around.
What's your favorite bar? The bar in the back of Pacific Dining Car. The bartender Raph has worked there for about 50 years and he makes the best homemade salsa to take home. He also makes a great martini.
What are three must-have items you'd stash in your earthquake kit (aside from the necessities)? I'm from New York. I don't have an earthquake kit.
What's the best thing about dating in LA? Outdoor Malls. I love the Grove. It's a test of man's character and patience if he can hang.
What fictional LA character would you most like to spend the day with? Spicoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High. I would like a day of getting nothing accomplished, smoking weed, and eating pizza.
What's your ideal first date spot? Grab a drink at a chill bar. Someplace maybe with a jukebox so we can pick out some tunes. HMS Bounty has a good one. I think you can tell a lot by a person's music selection and I'm quick to judge.
Think you and Tali might hit it off? Shoot her an email at spasandbasketball@gmail.com (include a photo!) and let the sparks fly.
