...to attract the kind of friend I'm interested in! I'm looking for someone to share time with. Interests in golf, music, movies are helpful but not necessary. Good skills in communication a must. I appreciate intelligence, humor and indepence (not necessarily in that order.)I'm a single dad, so being able to occasionally tolerate a child is helpful. (Extra bonus points if you actually LIKE children!)

I think the objective for a first date is to decide if there should be a second date. I think the best way to do that is to meet for a conversation over coffee or a****ail.
