Fish, tape the date, send it to me, I'll do the book. You can keep the book royalties, I get the movie money and the sequel.

Capt. George - 6-19-2008 at 06:36 AM

I'd go with the tie, if it don't work out, you could always hang yourself?

shari - 6-19-2008 at 06:57 AM

suerte amigo...no tie but nice pants and shirt...ask LOTS of questions about her family and her dreams....donot tell her about your new flying and fornicating company.....let us know how it went...cant wait to read the book!

ELINVESTIG8R - 6-19-2008 at 07:02 AM

Fish, remember...First Impressions...What's that saying anyway...I seem to have forgotten it. I hope you have a great time. Woo Hoo Sanborns...

NOTE: If you have a mustache and need to dye it, do not make the same mistake I did and leave it on too long. You will have a very bad dye job such as mine. You will end up looking like G. Gordon Liddy. Scary. Most important...Don't be cheap. And pay her valet parking fee. :lol:

So far Shari is only person with the right credentials. Follow her advice!

movinguy - 6-19-2008 at 07:23 AM

Short sleeve white linen shirt and khaki pants - you will fit right in. :cool:

wilderone - 6-19-2008 at 08:34 AM

I didn't know you were this desparate for a fishing buddy. I'll fish with you.

Diver - 6-19-2008 at 08:42 AM

I'm with Shari; just add a few tasteful pieces of "bling".
Nice belt, nice shoes, watch, and a few bangles of gold.

In the extreme; a run to the tanning parlor and a splash of Grecian Formula !! :LOL:

rhintransit - 6-19-2008 at 09:06 AM

no bling. nice watch only. no tie. white shirt, pressed. khaki pants, pressed. good shoes (VERY important) no diesel stains. no grease under fingernails. brush and floss teeth and bleach if time. neutral conversation. be yourself. ask lots of questions. smile. if you have a nice time, go somewhere for coffee and dessert after...ask local experts on where the see/be seen local Mexican population place is. if she accepts, that's a big plus sign.

shari - 6-19-2008 at 09:10 AM

oh yeah, I forgot the smelly cologne...mexican women love that stuff! the gold chains too jejeje and get some musica romantica for your car if you take here driving around....and don't talk too much! bringing pictures is always good too...helps the lull in conversation and gives you something to talk about.

bajaguy - 6-19-2008 at 09:11 AM

Dump the white shirt, get a button down collar light blue one...............and bring some colorful flowers, not too many,
Ask her about herself, look in her eyes and tune everything else out, don't eat anything that will stick in your teeth.

fdt - 6-19-2008 at 09:29 AM

Instead of Sanborns, there is a very fine mexican restaurant I know of and they have a killer soup and dress code is casual
:lol:

Sharksbaja - 6-19-2008 at 10:16 AM

Sopa de palo alto??

I guess that means to bring some uh...... never mind! :lol:

Yeah, bring some pictures of you from the tequila tasting event at this years book signing.... :tumble:

Have fun! Can't wait for the stories to begin.

fulano - 6-19-2008 at 10:47 AM

Be sure NOT to use those new Spanish words you picked up, like "P-nche" and "verga".

fishbuck - 6-19-2008 at 01:11 PM

Okay! Wow, there are some real experts on here.
So the tie is out. That's good!
I'll boil all these suggestions down to the final formula. I gotta go get some new shoes. I'm thinking Harraches.
And Bob H as far as I know all pics of me at the tequila tasting have been destroyed. :cool:

NO NO NO, Not good. Of course you have to tie her up, preferably to a rocking chair but, never a recliner. They snap shut like a mousetrap. Very awkward and uncool.

bajaguy - 6-19-2008 at 01:31 PM

Fish$$$....get some boat shoes....dual purpose use

Cypress - 6-19-2008 at 01:31 PM

What are you gonna tie her up with? :?:

My advice: Don't say anything. Let the smelly cologne do the talking. Make you move during the musica romantica. Be sure to park the car first. Oh, and by all means tie one on! :yes:

tripledigitken - 6-19-2008 at 01:33 PM

Can't help but sweep her off her feet with all these valuable suggestions. :coolup:

lonely hearts forum??........

Sharksbaja - 6-19-2008 at 01:50 PM

Hey, are bolo ties included?

baitcast - 6-19-2008 at 02:23 PM

I,m excited as hell,when does this encounter take place. :rolleyes:

Rob

Osprey - 6-19-2008 at 02:32 PM

If this is a "blind date", tell her you'll be wearing a red shirt. Wear a blue shirt and if she's a bow wow you can split and save yourself eternal pain. If she's your type you can say your blue shirt had a hole in it. Of course she will have the same option if she discribes her own apparel. I love these dating games.

oxxo - 6-19-2008 at 03:16 PM

If she's a bow wow, start drinkin' tequila.......she'll look like a "10" in no time at all.

before tequila

after tequila :dudette:

oxxo - 6-19-2008 at 03:23 PM

1. Lose the huaraches. Docksiders will make a more lasting impression.
2. Eschew the tie. How about a cravat?
3. Apply a little "Touch of Gray" to your dome.
4. Bring a small bouquet (small, not ostentatious).
5. Don't forget the Binaca.
6. Think about 10 questions you'd like to ask (avoids those embarrassing pauses in the conversation).
7. Don't get married before your third date.
8. Sanborn's????

shari - 6-19-2008 at 04:00 PM

lo siento amigo...no huaraches allowed AND you HAVE to wear socks too with your new shoes. too bad you couldn't rig a little webcam for us all to watch live. But do bring your camera and if it's going well, ask if you can take her picture...we're all dying to see her...tell her you are going to take some immersion classes with Juan this summer (don't tell her they will be on a panga though.)
AND dont forget to open your truck door for her and help her in...this is a sure fire impresser!!! i was always so impressed when Martin (Juan's partner) opened his wifes door of the car...until I found out it was because the passenger side door didn't open from the inside! jejejej...no really..chivalry works!

I like it! I did that once with a pizza box. If she was "not my type" then I would say I was delivering a pizza and had the wrong address.
In that case she was a doll and I ask if she liked pizza and we went out. :cool:

toneart - 6-19-2008 at 04:56 PM

"Immersion Classes"? Shari! :lol:

Bolo Tie - Ohh Noes

Gypsy Jan - 6-19-2008 at 05:20 PM

Instant garrotte.

Or so I've been told.

Sharks.... for those of us formerly from law enforcement, bolo means 'be on the lookout'... what does it stand for when used as a tie? Yeah, I was raised in a big city!

From Wiki....

A bolo tie (sometimes bola tie ) is a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord or braided leather with decorative metal tips or aglets (aiguillettes) secured with an ornamental clasp or slide. In the United States bolo ties are widely associated with Western wear , and are generally most common in the western areas of the country.

Santiago - 6-19-2008 at 06:44 PM

TW should chime in here - last time I was in Bakersfield you could still get bolos and those real thin bow ties. Had no idea those were still being made.

Bajagypsy - 6-19-2008 at 07:20 PM

Have a wonderful date! Looking forward to the trip report
