HAVING grown up in Noosa, 26-year-old Virgil Power loves surfing, boxing and playing the guitar. The talented local also loves law and is currently studying a bachelor of laws at QUT with the dream of following his father's footsteps and opening up his own practice here on the Sunshine Coast when he graduates in two years time.

When he's not at the beach, in the gym or studying, Virgil can be found at Gaston in Hastings Street, where he works part time behind the bar and on the floor.

Smart, talented and handsome. So why is he single you ask?

Virgil said he is single because he just hasn't met the right girl.

Here's all you need to get to know bachelor number two, Virgil Power.

1. What do you look for in a lady?

Personalty over looks everytime. Although one without the other doesn't really work, physical attraction's got to be there too of course. Playful nature and fun to be around with a good sense of humour, whenever the conversation is reduced to talking about the weather, I die a little inside!

2. What is the first thing you notice about a lady?

Definitely her smile, you can tell a lot from a girl's smile I think; whether they are happy, fake, genuine.

3. Where is the best place to meet ladies on the Sunshine Coast?

There are some cool restaurant bars in Noosa particularly the more mellow ones with a bit style like Gaston, Zachary's and Bistro C. But generally speaking, you're better off meeting girls under less threatening circumstances like through sporting clubs and even at work, particularly if you work in hospitality and you get to meet new people everyday. If you go looking for love at the clubs you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

4. Do you like to make the first move or do you like it if they do?

I believe chivalry is still alive. The guy should always make the first move. I think if you project confidence without arrogance you're already a step ahead of the game, dispite what you look like or how good/bad your chat is.

5. Have you ever had a pick-up line used on you? If so, what is the worst pick-up line that has been used on you? And has a pick-up line ever worked and if so what was it?

Unfortunately, the only pick-up lines ever used on me are usually made by really hot girls, wanting me to meet their not-so-hot friend! Hate it when that happens...should be outlawed.

My favourite:

Q. What's a polar-bear good for?

A. Breakin the ice!

If properly executed, there is always a place for a little cheap humour.

6. As a single male, do you have any advice you could give to single ladies looking to meet men?

At the risk of sounding cliché, just be yourself and have fun (to me, that's the most attractive thing a girl can do). I guess maintaining a little mystery is cool. But, as far as games go, if both sides play hard to get, then everyone goes home empty handed. Im not into 'em.
