Rachel is a 27-year old Atlanta-area resident and chronic single. She received her bachelor's and master's from an Atlanta-area private school, and is currently working on her doctorate in education. She is both a writer and English teacher, in addition to being a music lover, movie goer, internet junkie, avid reader, trivia buff, shoe fanatic, and card player. She finds that her choice of profession, her shy personality, and her oblivion to any kind of flirting or male-interest makes dating difficult. Although she spends a lot of time going out in the Atlanta-area, she tends to stick to the online forum for dating. E-mail Rachel with any comments, questions, stories, concerns, pet peeves, or joys at vrscoggins@bellsouth.net.
