I wish I were on a tropical island right this minute...and most minutes of my life. I could be walking the shoreline, gazing at the waves and/or reading and dozing underneath the palm fronds waving in the ocean breeze. Or, perhaps dining on some delicious meal...either prepared myself or by a very good chef. I would be delighted if the meal ended with some excellent dark chocolate. If not there, I wish I were on the dance floor, especially dancing salsa, cha cha cha, the rumba, or maybe even a bachata. If I can't be on the dance floor, then I also like to stay in, kick back and watch a good film...or Dancing With Stars...or American Idol...or a professional tennis match.

I find meeting for coffee or lunch to be a lovely way to break the ice and launch a new acquaintance. A great first date would include an opportunity to share some levity and a light hearted chat.
