Still looking for that perfect so-and-so to share the 14th with? Time Out NY has a plethora of single men and women for you to date in their "Date These New Yorkers" feature...and some of them look awfully familiar. There's the human blockhead from the Coney Island Sideshow, Judah Friedlander of 30 Rock, Matt Pinfield, someone named Moonshine, and Brooklyn's own Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson (learn more about him here). Not too shabby! But ladies, beware: Not all these fellas are showing their true selves—take Nate H. for example. While he may seem harmless in his dolphin costume (though this could be a hat tip to the Furry culture?), what he doesn't mention is that he can often be found rummaging through trash in Chinatown to make sculptures out of fish heads and other assorted dead animals. But maybe that's what does it for you?
