Good things about me, according to my friends: smart, funny, honest, dependable, articulate, professional, romantic, well-mannered, hard-working, smiles all the time. Not-so-good things: wait a minute . . . I'm not going to write that stuff HERE!

For me, a first date is an opportunity to get to know the other person, to find out about them and to answer their questions about me. So . . . any quiet spot where we can talk will work: drinks after work, dinner, Saturday lunch, Starbucks on a Sunday afternoon, five days together in Cancun -- okay, forget that last one for now.
