Jeff, date or no date, I am sure the lady will enjoy your tender character and giving nature. It's a wild place out there and people that you feel you can trust -because you are IMO one of those people- are precious and "keepers". I dont care if you cut your hair, wear blue or black, your true (good) colors will be showing... Just give her a warm hug (if she lets you-LOL) and enjoy the evening. Smart men, on top of everything else, are exciting...
Enjoy yourself and be the Jeff we know. She will be smitten. Love K
