First signs of a bad first date

[AGDee]

I have to add, one of the smartest men I ever dated didn't have a degree yet when I was dating him (and he was in his late 30s then). He'd been career Army and had started his degree. When he retired from the Army, he went back and finished it up. He was articulate regarding a wide variety of subjects. However, that's what is more important to me. I need to be able to have real conversations about a variety of topics as well as someone who never stops learning. That man could kick my butt at Scrabble I tell ya.
