I've never been asked on a date, technically, so it remains to be seen for me what the value really is!<br /><br />Sara--Oh, thanks a TON for that nickname. :P<br />The whole "friendly=flirting" things has followed me around for decades. Might be a Libran curse.<br /><br />CCR--Now that you mention it, I haven't really spoken much with the guy. Food for thought.

Ba-dum-dum.<br /><br />Sorry. Couldn't resist.<br /><br />I like how being nice means that you're chasing after a Y chromosome. You can't be nice without an ulterior motive, I guess? If you didn't take shots at him from your window with a rifle you must be interested? *shrug*<br /><br />Especially now you'll only think of him as a walking wardrobe malfunction with the unfortunate mental nickname of "Cheeky."Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794050418919719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104141554191672231.post-39427696192904422962013-05-11T22:35:03.187-04:002013-05-11T22:35:03.187-04:00Coffee or a beer is fine, but I think springing fo...Coffee or a beer is fine, but I think springing for a lunch or dinner is a minimum from any guy who actually wants to be taken seriously. The expense isn't important, it's the time, and the sharing of a meal, and that honest communion that really matters.<br /><br />As far as the draft thing goes, I have to say it hasn't been much of an issue in my life, or pretty much anybody else I know, but it could happen. I guess. Sure, rips happen, but a lack of awareness seems strange to me. Check back with me when I'm about 85. :)Dave E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07432598467203071394noreply@blogger.com
