Question of the Day: You've finally gotten him/her to accept a date; on championship game day! Do you meet at sports bar or your home?

You've been working for months on nailing down a date with this person.  They're literally your ideal mate!  Finally he/she agrees to go out with you.  Only problem is, championship game day is their only availability.  How can it be?  Do you gamble for the game or the girl/guy?  Or do you hedge your bets and double down?  How do you play out your game day?  We know you want a home-run, but are you safer taking the chance of rescheduling the long awaited date so that you are free to act like a buffoon in the comfort of your own home without having to worry about making great impressions?  Or do you take the risk and venture out with your date to the local sports bar to share your spirited antics with a crowd?  Do you stay, split, hold 'em or fold?

Question of the Day: Do you feel your "deal breakers" change as you get older? Or are they pretty much set in stone?

Aside from the no-brainer rules such as violence, drug & alcohol abuse, verbal abuse, sex addiction, etc, I would definitely say that my deal breakers have evolved over time.  Before I was married, I guess I was too young and stupid to realize that being with an absolute slob meant it would bleed over into other areas in our relationship and lead to major problems.  I also placed too much value on potential income earnings and thought that someone who could provide well would lead to my happily-ever-after.  Don't get me wrong, money helps, but it certainly is not the be-all-end-all and relationships need much more sustenance to maintain themselves.  

Now as a divorced mother of two, I have a whole new set of standards and have surprised myself with things that are no longer a priority to me in a mate.  For example, I now know the importance of division of labor, emotional support, communication and shared interests and activities.  Sometimes, you just don't know what you don't know and you have to try out different things before you stop and realize, "Hey!  This really matters to me!"  But that's not to say the pendulum doesn't swing back sometimes and we find ourselves holding onto old "rules."  I guess the lesson is, life is a journey and as long as we stay true to ourselves and listen to our internal compasses, we will live in our truth.  And there's nothing more fulfilling than that!

Question of the Day: If any Disney character could come to life to sweep you off your feet, who would you choose? Why?

That's easy!  For me it's definitely "Beast" from "Beauty and the Beast."  Not only is it my all time favorite love story, but what a boon for Belle when in the end, this totally evolved being turns out to be HOT!  I mean, I love any man whose willing to learn lessons, grow as a person and become introspective, but then add sex appeal, charm and good looks to it?  Uhh...yeah...sign me up Walt baby!! 

Question of the Day: What is a good hot weather daytime date?

 The beach is obvious.  The amusement park too crowded.  The movies are too dark.  So where are some cool, fun places to hang out with a date?  Small towns where you can window shop, stroll and eat ice cream are always nice.  Kayaking or canoeing with picnics packed are also options.  How about spontaneously stopping off the road at a local Farmer's Market and noshing on succulent watermelon?  Wine tasting at local vineyards?  Oh boy, it's summer time and the livin' is easy!

Question of the Day: What is the ONE thing you should never joke about with the opposite sex?

I onetime made a joke to a boyfriend about his future hair loss and let's just say...didn't go over so well.  I knew I'd made a huge faux pas when he got red in the face and became extremely irritable and barely spoke to me for the rest of the evening.  Whoopsie daisies!  I think balding and a paltry paycheck are the top two taboo topics to never joke about with guys.  I also find it really distasteful when they make passive aggressive remarks about how expensive something is that they're paying for (ie. dinner, movie, etc).  For women, well, that's easy, her weight!  My ex-husband used to think it was so funny when we'd be noshing on greasy junk food and he'd blurt out, "Don't chunk up on me!"  Wouldn't you agree that sometimes it's just better to bite your tongue than attempt to make your partner laugh?
