Made up, obviously. Real ones coming once people survive a date.

★★★★★
Met him at a bar in Matthews. Solid 9. Ran into him at a Costco in Pineville a week later and genuinely did not recognize him.
— Jess, Matthews
★★★★☆
He made me a cocktail, talked about his motorcycle for 40 minutes, then made me another cocktail. Net positive.
— Tara, two miles from Matthews
★★★★★
My mom met him once and still asks about him. She has never once asked about my husband.
— Lauren, Mint Hill
★★★☆☆
Great guy. Would be five stars, but our date was in Ballantyne and he was a 6 the entire night.
— Megan, Ballantyne

Shoot your shot

Spots are limited. So is Phelan's attention span.

Rather skip the form? Text him directly at (980) 349-8557.

Applications are only seen by Phelan and the site owner. Want yours deleted? Just ask and it's gone.

Were you rejected?

Well, maybe suggest a friend instead.

No hard feelings. Send this page to someone who'd be perfect for Phelan, then tell him who you sent so you get the credit.

Or share it yourself: phelan9.com

Your friend still has to apply on their own, so send them the link too.

Questions

Is this real?

Yes. Applications go to Phelan and the friend who built this site. He reads them. Probably during halftime.

Does Phelan know about this site?

He's fully in on it. Proud of it, even.

Why only a 9?

Nobody's a 10. He's just honest about it.

What if I live in Charlotte?

He's a 6 there, which is respectable. For best results, plan the date in Matthews.

What happens after I apply?

If he likes your date plan, he'll text you. If he doesn't, there's always the suggest-a-friend option.

When do applications close?

When Phelan says so. Don't wait.
