Yep, have to be able to talk. I've got a first date in 2-1/2hrs.... sushi first, and I picked the place because of the parks nearby. It'll be a bit chilly for a walk & talk, but still should be OK for a short bit. Wish me luck (I'm leaving the toothpicks at home for this one Lisa!)
Be your usual, talkative, happy self, and she'd be dumb not to like ya.

But it smells so good! 
Hmm. Yeah best first dates I have been on, a movie wasn't involved. Movies do suck, no talking, and a heavy dinner can be awkward too. Nothing like trying to make a good first impression, and have to try and be polite and not drop sauce on your lap! (cuz thats the kinda crap I do). Dinner can be a good indicator of behavioral issues though. In my past experiences, I have had quite a few men get mad at me over my food choice. I had a guy one time get mad at me for ordering a grilled cheese sandwich over lunch, because, in his opinion "I coulda made that at home". That was the LAST date we ever had...idiot...
Randy and I went to Dave and Busters on our first date. (its an adult arcade). We played games and had a few drinks and laughed our asses off, and once we were comfortable with one another we sat down and had dinner.
Third date I told him to get a few guns ready, I came and picked him up in Big Red, drove him up into the mountains, and we went shooting for an entire afternoon.
I disagree with the friends thing, at least on the first date. A first date should just be the two of you.
The rest of it I agree with.

Good idea! Looks like I might need to look into an engraver or some punches.
I wish we had a D&B here. Got one in St. Louis, but that's 2 hours away. Thing that sucks with this town is most of the "fun" things to do revolve around the college students, which is mostly loud bars and clubs. Not exactly good for a first date.
Someone breaking into the garage is my biggest worry. I don't have receipts for most of my tools, so I can't prove that I had them. I think I may go at least snap some pictures tonight. Thanks, Jim.
Good luck, bro! I don't think you'll need it though. You seem to be able to hold your own pretty well.
Thanks Jeremy. Another thing to go along with the inventory is pictures. In the event that someone breaks into your garage and takes your rollaway. The pictures will be a life saver for you when it comes to the insurance co. You can have all the lists that say I had this and I had that. A picture proves it.

I worked in Cheyenne for about 16months. 3 guys there had Chevy's... all 4x4's. My truck with just a leveling kit sits about a foot taller than any of them. They were all like "how much did your lift cost?" i just laughed when the 3rd Chevy guy (my buddy John) said... "Oh no... Fords come like that."

Good. Sounds like you found one with a brain.
