Looking for a companion of my life. Should be brought up well but not too high, and able to make a small income go a long way. Subject to approval by Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

Aspiring writer and family man seeks companion with a taste for solitude to spend luxurious time in a hideaway winter hotel in a secluded wonderland. Trust me, this place is a-maz-ing.

Totally Goth dude seeks blonde airhead prone to shrieking, gasping, and swooning. Must be fond of dark, musty, and creepy, accomodations. Coffins of various sizes come with custom linings . Please include collar size and average blood pressure readings in your repsonses along with blood sample. No blue bloods need apply. Can only date nights. It'll be a one in this lifetime experience. I'm a practiced bodice ripper and will be applied on request. Cut rate flights to Transylvania are available..one way only.
