“hi there. I’m Romeo. I’m a Sehuencas (pronounced “say-when-cuss”) Water Frog and, not to start this off super heavy or anything, but I’m literally the last of my species. I know - intense stuff. But that’s why I’m on here - in hopes of finding my perfect match so we can save our own kind (no pressure ;)).”
