Sunspace, have you forgotten our discovery that your grandparents in Weyburn lived just down the highway from my grandparents in Estevan, during the Depression?

And how is the Japanese study going? Come visit me in Japan and I can supply this _and_ dating advice. (Hell, not just advice, maybe some practicum as well ;))

_blink_ I’m… not sure that would work. Sorry.

Well, right now it’s still kind of theoretical. Meaning, I probably have to leave town to meet someone.

Oh yeah! The crush of events… changes… math… art… yes I had forgotten.

Alas, ending the Japanese study was the thing I regret most about leaving Toronto. I should email them to see whether they have concentrated courses where everything takes place in a week or two. I really really miss those classes. I still hope to visit Japan sometime, but I have no idea when.

I find that many Asian women in their forties are absolulely fantastic. (Of course, many non-Asian women in their forties are fantastic too…)

Yeaaaaah, don’t be that guy.  
I’m glad to hear you’ve got a plan. I hope you find someone who likes you!

Did yopu pass by? Did you find your chosen restaurant to be okay?

Good news **Sunspace**.

When you meet for the second date, do you have them still hold a rose so you will know who they are? 😉

It’s easy to attract women. Tie $10k in cash around your neck.
