I've moved to a larger city and I'm trying OLD again.

 

I have a couple of coffee dates lined up for later in the week. I know this is where we size each other up to see if there is any chemistry and physical compatibility.

 

I've posted current pictures that show I'm bbw. I'm honest about my age, my divorce, whatever things that I think are important.

 

Now, the tough part. The actual in-person conversation.

 

Both men work in fields I know nothing about. One is an engineer, the other does something blue collar.

 

I don't watch a lot tv. I'm not very current with movies and music. Most of my news comes from my Facebook feed (not all, but most).

 

I'm a touch dull, but I'm not unhappy. I just like simple things. My hobbies are cheap. My hobbies aren't really passions. Probably the thing I am most passionate about is having good sex, but you can't say that, since that sends the WRONG message!

 

What are some good questions to ask or some good conversation starters?

I don't really have anything to talk about either, if I think about it. There are a lot of things I can discuss for a couple of minutes, I guess, but I don't wanna talk about my kids all night, or my 25 year marriage, or my salsa dancing... But I almost never have trouble maintaining pretty steady conversation. I feel like you shouldn't worry about it too much. And remember, he's gonna hold up his end, you don't have to do it all.

You might want to try learning a little about engineering from the engineer and about whatever blue collar thing from the other guy.

 

Maybe something you hear from one can be a conversation starter with the other.

 

People love to talk about themselves. It shouldn't be too hard to find some kind of connection to what you do know and understand.

I did isolate a couple of my hobbies and interests.

 

Both men are new to the area, so I'm planning to ask about favorite restaurants or places to go.

 

I'm working in my head to not ask a lot of yes/no questions which can be stoppers.
