• What did you like the most about your childhood?
• Are you still in the same faith you were raised in?
• if you wnated to learn 1 new skill this year, what would it be?

2. Have you ever participated in speed dating? Did you get a regular date/second date out of it?

• I was married long before speed dating was invented, but I did a lot of dancing with my church group, there you only have 3 minutes and you have to yell over the music. 

3. Do you participate in online dating? How many dates have you had as a result of online dating sites/matches?

• Same thing as above.  I'm feeling old now, thank you very much.

4. You are attracted to:
a. Who people are?

• Funny, confident, fit, active, reasonable, curious, willing to put up with me, a fan of lingerie

b. What people have?

• I need to find someone with a ski boat.

c. What they can do?

• I love artists, creative types who aren't too flaky, people who can sing but don't call their voice, "my instrument", people who can work hard and stick with it.  I like photographers as well.

5. What “little red flag” will cause you to end a date or immediately decide this person isn’t for you?

• A felony record, missing teeth, bad breath, overt racism, a "Vote Obama" sticker (j/k - liberal girls are easy, ), a holster with a gun in it, kids, a penis.

6. What do you feel you need to sacrifice or have sacrificed to be a part of a relationship?

• Time, ego, a will to live.

7. If you cooked for your date, what would you cook?

• Italian, American, some Chinese, I love to cook.  If it was simple and summer, BBQ Salmon with a spinach/craisen/feta salad, in winter, pot roast with potatoes and fresh peas. Vegitarian?  No problem, I have a gift certificate to Whole Foods, knock yourself out and tell me how it was. 

8. At the end of a first date, how would you kiss your date?
a. Press your lips against theirs

• Sounds boring, if you are going to kiss, kiss.  But nothing is worse than the dead fish response.

b. Gentle kiss on the cheek

• Only if her mom is watching through the living room window, and even then, my hand would be sneaking inside her blouse as she tries not to giggle.

c. Lots o’ tongue, like you’re on a tonsil exploration

• Ick, or, let me ask, am I paying for this date on an hourly basis?

d. I don’t kiss on the first date

• Usually not, why spoil the fun, and 1-night stands are kind of nasty.
