Q: Funniest, worst, craziest date ever?
My friends coerced me into calling a radio station for “Win a Guy Wednesday” contest. The guy was a firefighter, a skier, a skydiver, and a computer nerd – potentially a good match. When we met, he owned up to being a volunteer firefighter for a small rural town, he had skied once, and gave up his job working for “Bill” to join the US Skydiving Team, after only 2 jumps ever!!! The only evidence he might have worked in the computer industry was the torn Microsoft polo shirt that he wore on our date. My dinner consisted of a salad and his of a half of a cow because he had to “bulk up for diving.”

Q: Advice for others?
Years ago, my aging parents invited my roommate and me to the symphony. After hours of Handel's Messiah, my well-intentioned parents insisted on introducing me to people, including the very handsome (and very gay!) conductor. Adamant that we had “so much in common,” they insisted that he and I “would make a great couple.” I found myself finally agreeing just so they would leave us to chat on our own, at which time I apologized profusely for their naivety and congratulated him on a wonderful concert. Embarrassment level = 10!

Q: What do you love most about being single?
Freedom to choose...sole ownership of the remote...all of the covers!
