Great cartoon. Interestingly this sums up my first date style (in my younger days – happily married now) say little, tell them less, get them to talk about themselves and if you are mysterious enough they will come back for more. :)

mhm and I bet he refered to himself in the 3rd person.

Anyways, this was a joy to read and made me smile. Love it!

I knew this guy, except he wasn’t a writer. Thanks for the laugh, Debbie!

Hilarious! Though I thought women generally liked a man who could talk about themself on a first date…? ;-)
