<p>Just read that - so very true. Fine, fine - I met one of said email contacts after he offered me his seat on the bus because I was wearing heels & tripped all over myself. </p>
<p>Apparently, the baby thing really works. Can you get a niece or something to combine the manners/kindness and the baby together? “Oh, this is my niece; I’m watching her so that my brother and his wife can have a quiet evening together.” Rent-a-dog might be easier - do your neighbours have spare dogs that need walks?</p>
<p>Joe,
I’ve got to tell you - your posts are always so interesting to read
They usually make me laugh out loud!! </p>
<p>My suggestion to you is to go to the grocery store - everyone needs to buy food. Our local grocery had a singles night where there would be free samples of items, cooking stations, etc…many, many singles attended. You never know…</p>
<p>I can guarantee you enduring popularity with the ladies if you learn to dance. Size, appearance, fitness does not matter-if you can walk, you can dance. Take some private lessons first at a good studio, then start going to the “beginner’s nights” parties, usually held Fridays. I can’t tell you the number of single men of all ages I have seen over the years come to these places, unable to dance and not knowing anyone, who within a few months are either paired up with a special woman or are swamped with ladies asking them to dance and asking them out. Learn ballroom, Latin and swing in rotation. There are great physical and mental health benefits as well.</p>
<p>I could sure use the exercise, and I like the idea of ladies swamping me. That is honestly the one fear I probably have after quitting drinking is being able to dance. I can still karioke, public speak, state my whole opinion for everyone to hear loudly, but I haven’t been able to dance since I quit. I saw my buddy’s brother dance last Saturday (he was tanked) he was in a squat position looking like he was sniffing this girls but like a dog would. We laughed about it all weekend long.</p>
