Be prepared to have a backup plan for the 'first date'.

I met this, as she put it, "attractive, slim, owns her home" gal a few yrs ago online. When it came to the first date I discovered the home just barely had the wheels removed. When she opened the door I was shocked but had hopes that the slim, attractive gal was hidding behind her. No such luck.
Thinking fast, I picked a place to eat in a town about 30 miles away saying that I always thought it was good.
That seemed like the longest date of my life. She had the "Phyllis Dillard" laugh that brought everyones attention to our table.
The real scarey part was just as we got back in the car she says " I'd really like something hard to suck on". Fortunately I picked up a couple of lolly pops from the bowl at the cash register. I handed her one and said "here you go". Drove her back to her 'home' and never called, emailed again.
