    Best advice (besides the trimming of the pubes) is dating is a lot different now than it used to be. Take it easy. Don't rush anything. Don't be surprised if she takes off her underwear and lays it on the table halfway through the meal. Don't be surprised if everything ends with a chaste kiss.

    Have been single for about 3 months now. There's a woman who works on the floor above me. We chat on the elevator. Wanted to ask her out basically the minute I was single but forced myself to hold out until a week ago. Asked her out for coffee so we could have a conversation longer than an elevator ride (thought that was relatively smooth).

    She agreed in principle and was going to give me a business card but didn't have one on her. I pointed that she could just give me her phone number then gave her a business card and she gave me a pen to write my cell number on the card. Have heard nothing from her. Gonna be some awkward elevator rides in my future.

    Your next text is coming from HR. "Why don't you have a seat over there?"

    The what's the proper age thing is a continual question/running debate when you're back "out there" in your late 50s (now early 60s). Yeah, no high school, I get that. My basic rule is first digit has to be a 3 (and before anyone goes smart ass, there has to be a second digit)

    We rent office space from Regus, so it's all different companies in the building. Not that this wouldn't be shitting where I eat, but we work for different companies. But, yeah, I'm 35 and she's I believe 27, so that could certainly be something she's not interested in. Plus there's the moment of, "Oh shit, she knows my full name now, better go see what is public on Facebook."

    Although the first thing you see is my cover photo, which I would think would be worth a cup of coffee just to hear the story.

    Go on, out yourself. You're among friends - which one are you.

    And DrQ, it is rather interesting. I'm even sure they call it dating anymore.
