My first time there. Would love to have dinner with a lady.

Hello…

I plan to arrive at the ranch/resort this coming Monday and – since it’s my very first time – I was wondering if it’s possible to have dinner/conversation with one of the girls at the restaurant/bar on location, preferably, with someone who not only is warm and friendly, but someone who shares my interest and whom I have some common ground with.

This is why, a while back, I used to join up with dating services and a “singles dinner” group. While most of the women I went out with were friendly (one woman I remember was quite shy, which normally isn’t a problem… except I’m pretty shy and reserved myself, and when you have two shy and quiet people sitting at a table together… well… you get the picture), nearly all of them didn’t have anything in common with me in terms of interests.

Most women whom I went out with talk about either politics or the economy or travelling to “exotic places” which I found out is a HUGE discussion topic (even though I’m coming to Nevada, I hardly travel, nor is it really my passion).

One woman, whom I actually went out with twice, kept talking about her family and relatives the ENTIRE time we were eating!

Then, there was this time I signed up for this “singles dinner group”… So, I told the coordinator what my interests and hobbies are (I listed them in the bottom). She told me she had the PERFECT group who matched my interest. AWESOME :-)! I signed up with two different groups. The first group I went out with all talked about… you guessed it… TRAVEL to exotic places I had no idea of. Then their topic changed to “condo laws” (or something about condos… either way, I don’t live in a condo). The second group (there were about seven of us) talked about – I kid you not…

“C+ PROGRAMMING” :-0!

If anybody in this forum knows what C+ programming is, then you’re much better than I was back then (since then, I took a few classes in HTML, CSS and Javascript… yeah, I know… very interesting dinner topics ;-)). One member of this “singles dinner group” asked what I like to do. “I’m taking acting/theatre classes.” I said. “Oh.” She replied and went back to her C+/travelling/politics buddies.

Not hard to see why I’m single, huh ;-)?

Perhaps it’s me (and something I need to work on), but being the shy person I am, I’m not the greatest when it comes to talking about things I’m not too familiar with (C+ Programming, travelling to exotic places, international politics).

Sorry for this crazy long post, but basically, I was wondering – since I’m staying for about 1 and 1/2 days – to have dinner with one of the beautiful ladies who share in my interests and hobbies.

That being said, what are they? Glad you asked ;-)!

I’m currently taking screenwriting classes (one of my scripts actually advanced to the second round of a prestigious competition despite the fact my story had nothing to do with vampires, boy wizards, superheroes or lovers aboard a doomed ocean liner… oh… there’s no sex in my script either. What??? No sex??? How the heck did it advance ;-)), so I love writing scripts and analyzing movies, whenever I get the chance to see them (I just saw Thor: Dark World today. Would love to watch Enders Game). I’m trying to break into Horror writing.

I used to read alot of classics (Phantom of the Opera, Scarlett Pimpernel and I have Bram Stoker’s Dracula on order) and self-help books (used to read up to 3 self-help books a month), but now I haven’t kept up with the self-help industry as much.

I also love theatre (since I was in acting school and used to do theatre and showcases), particularly musical theatre (LOVE musical theatre :-)) and improv comedy… when it’s done right (I’ve seen it when it’s not done right… it’s pretty awful). That being said, I LOVE “Who’s Line Is It Anyway” (too bad that show got cut off).

Of course, I love watching movies when I have time. One of my favorite movies of all-time: “MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA”. Very well performed and I love the script. I love movie-musicals (can’t wait for “Wicked” the movie-musical to come out).

I also like learning about filmmaking (since I’m a screenwriting student)… particularly indie filmmaking and low-budget filmmaking.

So, yeah… those are some of my interests. Again, I’d love to have dinner with someone who shares my passions and interests. I am a pretty shy guy, though. I’ll be there this Monday sometime in the afternoon/evening.

P.S.: Bonus if you hate talking about C+ Programming ;-)!
