Dear XenopuxTex:

Too bad it is a small town and as I understand it, it is an isolated small town? If you did meet someone at a bar, I would suggest to her to continue your conversation outside the bar. Maybe a few women go to the bars because there is nowhere else to socialize and will be happy to move on out of the bar once meeting you.

I wonder what “improving presentation” means- hope it means you being authentic and as relaxed as you can, as calm as you can be, leaving the hammer at work. Not too close; not too distant; friendly but cautious…?
