How do I "do" a date? Years ago, when I was a 'ute, "Wanna go to a movie? club? Whatever?"

19. First, don't "forget about it"!

Life is short. It's time for your second act. Carpe diem!

OK, now that that's taken care of, what are your interests? Do you know what hers are? If you can find the Venn diagram intersection of interests, there's your date!

If that doesn't work, a meal is always good. if you want to do something afterwards, ask her back to your place for an aperitif or cup of coffee.

By the way, there's nothing wrong with a nighttime walk in the park (as long as it's not too cold). Just remember to bring headlamps/flashlights.

I've seen other posters saying that you should do something that doesn't require too much conversation. I completely disagree. You want to get to know her better to make sure she's compatible.

My husband has been dead for long enough that I will eventually need to be where you are. If it's any consolation, the thought of that fills me with more terror than you have confusion.

Here's to second acts!
