What about the cute one in red - is she available?

From the top of the page "not with boys". What I can't work out is whether this means that she's in love with girls or simply that being a 31 year old live at home "mommie's girl" means that she has an emotional age of about 10. In my experience though woman who love food like Jin obviously does tend to be absolute tigers between the sheets (once they get the hang of it) so one day there will be a very lucky guy out there (so long as he gets to pluck the grape before it turns into a dried out old raisin).
