Todor, 23

Present yourself.
My name is Todor. I'm from Varna, but I live here in Sofia now.

What do you do here?
I study third-year philosophy. You catch me actually right before the exam, which is crucial for me to pass into the last year of my study. The subject is "formal logic."

What made you study philosophy?
I was always very interested in it. I graduated from a marine high school in Varna and I thought about continuing my education in that direction, but I failed on the math exam, so I decided to move to Sofia and study here. The winter here is much better than the winter in Varna. But the summer in Varna rocks!

Where do you think the girls are hotter — in Varna or here?
In Varna they may be even hotter. But actually, there are a lot of pretty girls all over Bulgaria.

Do you have a girlfriend now?
No. How can a guy choose only one? I have a lot of love in me!

What's your longest relationship?
One year.

What are you looking for in a woman?
It's very important for her to be able to reflect my current state, and the opposite. When two people meet in a moment and they "resonate" in the same way, they get together. The next moment, if one of them changes his priorities or starts being interested in different things, it's over.

Have you ever done a long-distance relationship?
No, I don't believe in them. I see them as very unreal.

What will happen if you fall in love with a girl and she has to go and live far away?
I would let her go and follow her own way. If we're meant to meet again, we'll meet.

Are you looking for a girlfriend now?
When you stop looking for them, that's when they come, so I'm not looking.

What do you think about the one-night stands?
I'm totally down. It's very relieving. I'm no saint.

What's a dealbreaker for you?
If she talks about herself too much. If she waits for me just to finish whatever I'm saying so she can start talking again. People should listen to each other.

Have you had any summer crushes?
Oh yeah, in Varna, on the beach. This summer, for example, a friend of mine liked one girl, but I didn't knew he was into her, so I tried my chance and it ended up that she liked me more. So he was a little bit upset. However, he's a sailor, so now he's on a ship for six months.

How long were you seeing that girl?
Till the end of August, 'cause she left for Paris. But she'll be back in the winter, so we'll see...

How long does it takes you to fall in love?
I have a little bit different perception of that. I think that this feeling evolves and if the "falling in love" ends, then it hasn't been anything real. True love is when, even you're not together, you keep having good intercourse.

Do you think that studying philosophy helps you with the girls?
If the girls like to listen. It's not for everyone.
