Nice! A good first date. I like the plus column: He was willing to travel to meet you. He’s a little far but not so much as to be a serious problem. He’s been divorced a sufficient amount of time. Funny. Let me say that again, funny. That goes a long way in my book. Brooklyn accent. Family oriented. Attraction was present.
That all sounds good. What does he do for a living?
Congrats on learning you’re not dead. More will be revealed as you get to know him, but sounds like a nice first date.
