In the process

[newmama]

ok so I am watching Millionaire Matchmaker and window shopping online. (Wow, that sounds so shallow! But I am Christmas shopping!)

It's fun to watch this show- the variety of personalities and looks, and analyzing who they choose for their master dates and watching how the dates turn out.

Time and again, the clients don't listen to Patti and they end up either not liking their date or they offend their date by doing the wrong thing!!! Hey, I actually think about some of Patti's advice when I am in the mood to date (lol- yeah, like the 3 dates I have been on so far since exH...what am I talking about?)

her advice: when meeting someone, keep it positive (no foul language or harsh/ negative opinions or complaining for example), look your best (duh), 2 drink maximum, no kiss with tongue, and no sex. Do open up a little by sharing something personal but not yet "my mother is an alcoholic and abandoned us" personal. More like "I wish I had a better relationship with my mom but luckily I am close to my grandma so she is my second mom. What about you? Are you close to your mom?" (disclaimer- that isn't true- I just chose an example)
