Do you date a lot?" "I suppose you could say I do," he answered. "There are women I'm friendly with and we share certain interests. There's a neighbor woman I've known for years who is a food critic for the newspaper, and sometimes she invites me along to restaurants she's reviewing-what an opportunity! She doesn't listen to a word I say about the food, but I love the whole experience. I have a colleague I can invite to those college parties I'm forced to attend-she's single and doesn't usually have a date, either. Mainly I have a number of friends who happen to be women, and if I'm looking for something to do, I might give one of them a call." He turned and looked toward her. "Maureen, I don't have anything romantic going on with anyone. Ridiculous as it might be to think a man my age could be a playboy, I promise you, I am not." "I didn't mean-" He grinned and grabbed her hand. "Of course you did, and not only am I encouraged, I'm flattered!" "Well, don't be," she said. "I didn't mean that." And then he laughed at her.
