Sex up your resume now and land a job. Then you can take her to better places
Umm, I don't think you understand. My resume is sexed up. My career field (financial services) is a disaster. I have incredible qualifications, but its gotten to the point where I'm going to have to change career fields. At 43, how do I do that???

Ok, it's not you. It's your domain, which I have to admit is seriously shredded at the moment. Did you look up healthcare lines of business which often need financial services guys to run their finances. They will not pay as much, but it will be a good place to hide until banking and financials heal. Maybe you already tried it, but I'm just saying.
To make matters worse, MF Global is snowballing into a major crisis. Who is affected by their tentacles is not clear yet and will explode next year. I would suggest wild things like looking at the mid-West. I don't know, I don't know your situation and flexibility.

I hope you find something soon.
Yep, absolutely right. MF Global is yet another huge issue, not to mention Europe. Our economy is fragile as it is. This has been the slowest economic recovery in history. I've considered the Mid West. I'm looking everywhere. I'd have to let my house go, but I don't care, as its the house I was married in. The bank can have it.
I've been out of the dating game for so long that I'm not sure where to go or what to plan anymore. I was with my ex-wife for 7 years and divorced for the last 2 years. I've barely dated. But I have a last minute date with a woman I met online tonight. I don't want to spend a lot of money because I'm not working, hence another reason I haven't tried to date. But I do think this one has potential. Should I just stick to coffee or do something else?
I am in Atlanta, so anyone from here please chime in.
Yes. I would stick to the brief coffee shop chat for the first meeting. Who knows, you may not even like her after the first meeting.
If all goes well you can do a park day. Picnic basket with some snacks (crackers, fruit, yogart) Have fun talking on a blanket and enjoying the surroundings. That shouldn't cost you too much.
Personally, I'm not too keen on going for coffee on a first date. First dates are supposed to be glamorous, memorable, and magical.

I'm glad the date went well and that things look hopeful for a continuation. Have to say, though, that a couple of posters (two quoted above) got it all wrong in my opinion by not reading the OP properly. Funnily enough the only one who got it right, flung in his post obviously without reading any of the responses (third quoted).
This wasn't an arranged date with someone the OP had already met. He said, "...I have a last minute date with a woman I met online tonight." This scenario has been hashed out in countless threads and the consensus seems to run over 90% that when meeting a blind date off an internet dating site, the sensible thing to do is meet in a public place for the proverbial coffee and take it from there ...
