It has been so long since I have been asked out.
If memory serves, the guys asks me out with a few days notice. If I am free and interested, I say yes. If I am busy, I politely decline and suggest a better night. Sometimes the guy suggests another time.
James, as you may recall, I have a collection of phone numbers from men who either never called or with whom I have had one date. I don't know why I have this collection, but I can't seem to part with these business cards and scraps of paper. I guess it makes me feel better to think that for one moment some guy thought that I was cute enough to give me his number. Once in a while a telephone number actually leads to a romance.
