Comments on the above interchange, and on the eternal problem of how you
meet people, how you survive the small talk, etc.:  I've always been very
quiet (shy, if you will) around women.  I've also had some pretty vivid
imaginings of what I might expect of a mate.  As it turns out, I met
a woman who wasn't (at least externally) the sort of woman I expected to be
romantically interested in.  As a result, she caught me with my "shield" of
shyness/quietness down.  This was entirely serendipitous, as far as I can
see - if I had found her interesting in some of the superficial ways, I
would have had a much harder time being myself around her at first and
it might never have gone anywhere.

[And I suppose I should apologize for posting this here, as I'm no longer
single...]
