Carissa Wyant (Margaret Andrews/The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Age: 28.

Sign: Virgo.

Lives in: A condo in downtown Minneapolis.

Orientation: Likes the menfolk.

Education: B.A. (Wellesley College), M.A. (Yale University).

Occupation: Broadcast reporter and college professor.

Hangouts: Mayslacks, Elsie's, the Vegas Lounge and the Uptown VFW.

Turn-ons: Charm, flirtation, savoir faire, smartness in a National Public Radio sort of way, easy rapport, clever conversation, persistence, patience, subtle sexiness, loyalty, sassiness and well-tailored suits.

Pitch: "You would be lucky to find another single 28-year-old woman with the sense of humor, social grace, intelligence and un-squandered (thus unjaded) life's love-journey as in Carissa," writes friend Nancy Kuehn. "Not to mention a mean repertoire of karaoke hits from the '80s!"

  • The next three Catches will each win two tickets to the Rock the Garden concert on June 21. Nominate yourself or a friend at www.vita.mn/catchoftheweek.
