{ Meet... Melissa P. }

Our next Bachelorette hopeful, Melissa, lives in Washington DC and works as an Analyst with the Department of Justice.  She loves working for the government and living around military families in our nation's capitol.  Melissa has a gazillion talents, and people love her baked goods and tell her she gives awesome massages.  One of her less obvious talents is in her words "a knack for being able to toss small objects (paperclips, small candies, etc.) into male dress shirt front pockets.  I know it sounds strange, but every time someone (guys are the only ones would would ever challenge and/or doubt my skills) thinks I can't do it, they end up completely shocked.  After that typically comes the "I bet you can't do it again" and I do it again.  Needless to say, I don't ever sit around the house practicing this skill on my nights/weekends...I guess it's just something I picked up!

When asked why Melissa wants to date Kent she replied, "I want to date Kent because he is ready to find someone to share his life with, as am I. I'm looking for someone to challenge me and vice versa.  Someone who can put up with my crap and give it to me straight :) Kent seems to be a kind hearted guy who would do anything for his family, who loves what he does, exemplifies his priesthood calling and finds amusement in life.  These are definitely qualities I'm looking for. I feel we would be a good match and make each other laugh, every day."  

Tell us why you think Melissa and Kent are a match made in heaven...
