I’m with you on the one pot, one fork method of cooking, tho. Some of my best “recipes” involve throwing several cans/bags of things into the crockpot and then seeing what happens in 4-6 hours.

Sandrinnad, re: fork: That’s why you have a mouth. To hold the fork until the next course comes!

dishes? *shudder* if I can eat it with a spoon out of the one pot I cooked it in I’m a happy camper! (though I do get why multiple forks – in multiple-coursed meals the dishes are removed after each course, meaning that if your fork doesn’t go you’re either stuck holding it until the next course appears or putting it down and staining the expensive tablecloth)

but back to the point totally agree – honesty is absolutely the way to go. All else aside, when you meet you’ll be less tense because you’re not trying to remember what you claimed. And she won’t be a) immediately disappointed, b) wondering if you’re really so desperate you have to lie and why, and c) wondering what else you’ve lied about.

Honesty IS the best policy! As you say the chances of being disappointed on either end would be greatly reduced if both parties met pretty much who they expected. No lies about status, habits, size or anything at all! you may get a few less dates, but at least the ones you do get will genuinely want to meet the REAL you. After all, a facade is hard to maintain in person unless you are a sociopath.
