Post #198,595 by Andrew Grygus 3/14/05 4:58:18 PM Reply	Yup, dating sure isn't easy . . . . when you're single with one or more kids at home, but hey, he's got an additional strike against him - being an engineer (1), so you have negotiating room. The best of luck to you. (1) I remember back 15 or so years ago in Pasadena, Liz's Seminars for Singles was packed with 40/50-something engineers and 40/50-something women who wouldn't touch an engineer with a 1 meter stick 'cause that's what they'd been married to and wanted no more of it. Poor guys did everything precisely by the book - right degree from the right school, right house in the right neighborhood, right car, right wife, right number of kids, right lawn, right career at the right company - yet the wife walked out - how could that be?

I'm looking for a little dull stability now. Plus, my Dad was an engineer, and I'm very much like my Dad. It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.

I have a date next week. Can I get a "Woo Woo!"? - (bionerd) - (70) - March 14, 2005, 02:02:48 PM EST

For what it's worth, my son met his wife in a similar way. -NT - (a6l6e6x) - (3) - March 15, 2005, 11:53:04 AM EST
