Howie Moritz was very frustrated. He was thirty years old and for whatever reason he couldn’t find the right woman to settle down with. Actually, he couldn’t find the right woman who wanted to date him more than once or twice and he had no clue what he was doing wrong. He smelled under his arms and he didn’t think he gave off a bad scent.

His best friend was a girl named Marla Katz and she constantly told him that good things would happen as he was a good person. He appreciated her kind words but it wasn’t helping with his dating life.

Howie had done different dating apps, and for some reason he never seemed to be the guy who got swiped. He looked in the mirror and even though he thought his probiscis was a little big, he didn’t think he was ugly. He also didn’t want to go for a nose job.

There were times he wondered if his job had factored into his inability to find a woman. He worked weird hours but nobody really knew that as he wasn’t dating anyone. He was in charge of his division which focused on Cyber Security and it was a twenty four hour job. There were times he worked from Midnight to Noon. Bad guys constantly were trying to hack into clients his company represented and he and his team had to be vigilant to stop them.
