FR I have dealt with a lot of newbies. For initial meetings in person, I like to go somewhere where we can do something together, not just sit and talk. I happen to like to play pool, and luckily most of the men I've met do too, so I've had a lot of first meets in pool halls. Playing a few games of pool while getting to know each other does break some of the tension. You're moving around, and when you're focusing on a shot, you can have a break in the conversation for a short while. You can joke with the other person about missing shots or how bad of a night you are having...of course you are usually a better player! lol If pool isn't your thing, then minature golf, or whatever hobby you have in common. Not only does the activity give both of you time to reflect on what the other has said, you're also sharing in a vanilla type of interest you share. Best of luck to you...you'll do great, Im' sure. *hugs*
