"61% of you said not to ask Sexy Euro for feedback on my &amp;amp;quot;dating skills.&amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp; Thanks for saving me from a potentially devastating experience. Me and my big ideas, huh. I had great weekend catching up with girlfriends -- we even took my busted camera to the store, and salvaged a few pictures from the trip (you&amp;#x27;ll see tmr), even though the juicy ones were on the camera we lost :(&amp;amp;nbsp; Tonight, I had myself a little impromptu date! I know...here I go again. This might be a good time to explain how I meet so many guys (a lot of you ask &amp;#x27;bout that). When I see someone I like, I always &amp;amp;quot;seize the moment.&amp;amp;quot; I hate letting a good guy slip away... so instead of checking him out, then chicken-ing out, like so many of us do,&amp;amp;nbsp; I&amp;#x27;ll find some way, any way, to meet him.&amp;amp;nbsp; I&amp;#x27;ll be obviously flirtatious (who cares, let it go!), feel him out, make him laugh, make him blush, lay it on, and then, usually organically, we exchange numbers or emails. Easy. Like today.... I went to buy the New York Times around 7am. I was wearing ripped sweats and the most unflattering thermal. When I walked into the shop, I overheard a young guy asking for a Greek newspaper. Oh Jeeeeeez. Just what I need -- a Greek Dentist look-a-like while I&amp;#x27;m bra-less, puffy and paying for a paper in penny rolls. Still, despite my unsexy insecurities, I wasn&amp;#x27;t going to let him go.... Me: Are you Greek?Him: Half-Greek.Me: I was kinda half-Greek once too! Um, long story. I&amp;#x27;m Alyssa. Ha! I sounded like a freak. But I guess he thought my fumbling was funny, because before I knew it, we had plans for coffee tonight. The date was pleasant, but nothing more than a chai-latte with a nice guy who looks like my ex.&amp;amp;nbsp; Not every night is for hardcore husband-hunting, right?! I&amp;#x27;m not interested in him --too random, too unfamiliar--&amp;amp;nbsp; but something happened that I SO wanted to share with you. He told me he&amp;#x27;s moving to Vegas to be a ... card-dealer. I&amp;#x27;m not going to sugarcoat it -- the job bugged me. It has nothing to do with income...I just hate gambling....so it was an instant turn-off!&amp;amp;nbsp; Shelley gets that my date was a &amp;amp;quot;whatever,&amp;amp;quot; but regardless, she says it&amp;#x27;s juvenile to judge a guy by his job. She thinks &amp;amp;quot;career&amp;amp;quot; should be low on the check list. I told her I&amp;#x27;d see where you guys stand. When you meet a good guy, can his career make or break things?
