The Book Bachelor: Sherlock Holmes
He’s everywhere: your Robert Downey, Jr. movies. Your underrated Disney classics. Your edgy modern adaptations. Your edgy modern non-adaptations. Nobody rocks a deerstalker and a pipe quite like him (trust me, you’ve tried). He’s the only celebrity besides the president whose address you know like it’s your own. The only mystery afoot is the mystery of your match potential. Fortunately, we’ve cracked the case.Dependability:
Scammers hate him! This detective has only lost one case. ★★★★★
Affection:
I hope you enjoy being called things like “chap” and “old friend.” Might pay more attention to his best friend than you. ★★☆☆☆
Cuddlability:
Doubtful, old friend. ★☆☆☆☆
Charisma:
He’s a little bit eccentric, but he’s popular for a reason. ★★★☆☆
Funness of dates:
I know what you’re thinking: “Oh! A detective! I’ll get to follow him around from case to case!” Think about what you’re saying. That’s not a date; that’s an unpaid internship. And he’ll be more focused on the mystery at hand than showing you a good time. Unless you really, really like looking at footprints. ★★★☆☆
Listening/communication skills:
One might say he listens almost too well. ★★★★★
Intelligence:
Dude, it’s Sherlock Holmes. ★★★★★
Coolness:
Dude, it’s Sherlock Holmes. ★★★★☆
Overall:
Romancing the most famous detective of all time is probably not in your best interest, but hey! I
bet he’d love another assistant. ★★★☆☆
