    I agree wholeheartedly!  Five years ago, I wouldn't have believed that
I would be able to date (semi-)regularly.  I had no ideas of what to do and
how to do it.  Now, a few years older (and wiser, I hope), I am SLOWLY
catching onto this dating thing.  It's still a big 'move' to try that first
kiss, but it's not impossible anymore (thank God :-)

    I know the feeling, but I'll stick to the way it is now - I don't really
need the playboy image (ok, Steve O., you can stop laughing ...)
