blind date
I hadn’t shaved in a few days
but at least I showered
I keep telling myself I’m doing
so much better since
they talked me down
and now here I am
a few days later going on
a blind date
smelling somewhat delicious
and sporting a three day beard
as I wait looking out the front window
I keep asking myself
what the hell am I supposed
to talk about
january two thousand twenty

Let your date lead the conversation. Most women value men that are good listeners. As common denominators appear, talk about them.
Sage advise, Carl.
Wish I knew back when. Too old for dating. Only sage I have now is in the spice rack.
small talk is so difficult. Listen or at least pretend to listen…will make the date happy 🙂
Good advice, Padmini!
I am not qualified to advice:) just a suggestion:))
