Don Juan
I am good friends with a married couple. A week or so back my buddy tells me his wife has a friend she wants me meet. I figure, based on the type of person his wife is, her friend is probably pretty decent so I tell him okay. Then yesterday he calls me with the girl's number and suggests I ring her up. Supposedly she wants us to chat a few times and then double date with my buddy and his wife to see if we click. All I know about her is her name, that she is 34, divorced with one child, and according to my friend, attractive. Living in a rural area I know a lot of quality women don't get out often because outside of clubs, there isn't much of a social scene and even then, 99% of the clubs cater to the 18-24 crowd. My question is this: What is the best way to initiate conversation with someone who is a complete stranger? Should I just ask basic questions about her lifestyle and interests? I have called scores of women who I have met just long enough to get their number but somehow that seems different. I should mention that I am currently involved with someone so it's not like this is a do or die kind of deal. It's more like I want to keep my options open. I don't recall ever just ringing up someone I was so clueless about. Has anyone ever faced this situation and if so, how did you proceed?
