I hear you all loud and clear. My mistake is waiting until the end of the date and then I put too much pressure on myself and chicken out. I need to look for opportunities during the date to get close and try that 90% of the way in technique. Once I can break the ice, the rest is like riding a bicycle.

Hey! I resemble that remark!
Did you already do the picnic thing? You could always reach across her for some more fruit salad or something... Or on a hike, lean up against a tree to take a breather.... I don't know, there has to be sometime it can happen!
And if she hugged you tightly and is still going out with you six dates later, she is not going to barf!!!
Oh and my cousin who had the dinner party last weekend is trying to set me up w/a coworker who recently got divorced. She pointed him toward my match profile and he emailed me. Problem is I do not find myself having any kind of antennae-raising response to seeing his profile pics. Does that make me shallow???
No more than the rest of us. I think you need a spark in there somewhere. I think I told you before that K shaved the rest of his hair off. Too funny because he would never let me mess with his hair when we were younger. Anyway, I was telling myself I wouldn't be attracted to a bald guy and yet here I am. He has this personality that just lights up a room. (I know it helps alot that he is a former boyfriend). Maybe you could still meet him and see if there is anything there.

I know, the cloud townsend guys say to date a variety of people (cast a wide net) because we need experience just dating and getting to know people again and besides, our previous choice which led to divorce shows our 'people picker' may be damaged in the first place!
There are a couple bald/stubble head guys on match with amazing smiles/eyes so I don't care if a guy is bald if his face is nice. Conversely I don't care if his hair is like McDreamy's on Grey's Anatomy if he has a crappy personality!
I would just take Patrick Dempsey with his different kind of nose, thank you.
I suppose it is hard to not fall into that same type of guy thing. I already decided though that the next guy I get serious with has to know the difference between a wrench and a screwdriver and better know how to use them!!

Well personally, I absolutely require some hair on my gal - the whole Sinead Oconner and Britney Spears thing really turned me off to bald girls. As for looks, dial me up a Jennifer Anniston look and I'll be good to go!
