My name is Craig Anderson. I was born in Switzerland by an American Father and Swiss Mother. I Graduated from the Imperial College London as a Cinematographer. I am currently a media professional so,i make films and take picture for a living. I plan on setting up my own film and media company in the nearest future. I grew up living in 5 different countries due to the Nature of my Mothers Job before she retired and withdrew as a member of the United Nations Ruling council. She retired 15 years ago from UNICEF and started up an orphanage home that looks after destitute African children. My mother just died of Ovarian cancer so I have inheritance and I am looking for someone who can assist me in getting my inheritance.

For over a month I have been looking and I haven’t find anyone yet. I am looking to be with a very comfortable woman because I cannot settle for less so, I decided to look online to find love because I believe that through love I can find a special woman that can help me get my inheritance and start a serious relationship with me. If you are interested I like to know you better. My email address is andersoncraig73@XXXX.com. Can’t wait to hear from you!

Thank you to the guys at SpeedDating.com for sharing their questions. Remember these questions are suggestions, feel free to change them to suit your interests and personality. Most of all – take the time to LISTEN to the replies and ANSWER their questions. If any REPLIES send up RED FLAGS or the hair on the back of your neck stands up TRUST your instinct. Employers do pre-employment background checks, why shouldn’t you check out your Date? (http:www.CheckOutADate.com) LADIES make sure you meet that 1st Date at a public place, don’t have him pick you up at your home! You wouldn’t invite a door-to-door salesman into your home would you? Men don’t be offended the ladies are just being cautious, there are a few weirdo’s out there.

I am thinking of turning these questions into a pocket size game like Trivial Pursuit for Dating. Would love your comments.
