Profile A — Carlos, 28
"I'm a man who doesn't text first — ever. I'm looking for someone that understands space, which for me means three days of silence is normal. My last three exes, whose names I can't remember, all agree: I'm a project, not a person. I have a job that I never talk about and a past which we will not discuss. Mystery is my whole personality."
Profile B — Fernanda, 24
"I'm a girl who will check your phone the first night. I need someone that has no female friends — not even cousins. The place where we go on dates must be approved by my mom, whose opinion is final. I love people who give me their passwords on day one. If you have a friend that I haven't met, you can delete her. It's not jealousy. It's organization."
Profile C — Rodrigo, 31
"I'm a guy whose ex is literally his roommate. I'm looking for someone who doesn't ask questions about why she still cooks for me. I have a dog that sleeps between us — non-negotiable. I also have a group chat where my exes still plan my birthday. The girl that I marry will understand: my past is a team, and there's always room for one more. Probably."

💬 Compare with a partner. Did you find the same examples?
Look at how people really say these. Which one sounds right — and why are the others wrong?
Set 1 · talking about a person
Set 2 · talking about possession
🧠 Your turn: What does the correct word replace in each set — and why are the other versions wrong? Tell your partner.
What · A relative clause (who / which / that / whose / where) connects two ideas about the same noun.
Why · It replaces the repeated word, so your sentence isn't choppy, run-on, or confusing.
When · Use it when both sentences talk about the same person, thing, or place.
Which word · who = people · which/that = things · whose = possession · where = places
Which word?
| who / that | for people → "someone who never lies" |
| which / that | for things → "a dog that barks all night" |
| whose | possession → "a girl whose ex is everywhere" |
| where | for places → "a restaurant where he never pays" |

Wait... one more thing.
Somewhere out there is the person who is perfect for you. The one whose flaws you can live with. The place where it all makes sense — you'll find it. Maybe not on an app. 😏
