Dear XenopusTex:

Your objective is to get married in the coming few years. Plan the way to achieve this objective- the ways to not achieve it when you meet women you find interest in are:

1. Ignore a woman, not asking for her phone number, not attending to a woman (similar to not starting your posts here with a name of the person you are writing to as well as not attending to the content of what a respondent wrote to you).

2. Be late to a date (as you have been): don’t commit to a date when there is a reasonable chance of courthouse proceedings spilling over expected times.
3. Get caught up in the woman’s minor “faults” (too short was one you mentioned before)
4. Give up too soon (seeing a woman having lunch with another man)
