(Depending on *how* he suggests it and whether he shows any indication of concern for my views on the subject. But it's been my experience that men who suggest this on being introduced are not terribly interested in the opinion of the woman -- just "yes" or "no".) Am I alone? How 'bout the rest of you single women -- or men -- out there? What would be your reaction? note -----> this is NOT a personal attack. I merely mean to point out that the strategy Joe seemed to be advising could definitely fail in my case. windy*
