1. Don't bore them with your extensive knowledge of foreign wars!
2. Don't write letters filled with stupid riddles!
3. Read a newspaper
4. Don't try to impress, you're arrogant enough
5. Shut-up, it's your only chance!
sancho, good like as you will need it. As if some girl cares about your current afairs Knowledge, and if she does she is not the girl for you as you obviously do not have knowledge in this department, or many others as it seems. Be yourself fool as that is you and you are you untill you die. If you want to change something about yourself make it a perminent change to improve yourself not to impress.
the needle on your idiotdetector meter must be buried anytime you encounter Sancho. So if your detector breaks, I'm sure a lot of us will chip in to buy you a new one. With Sancho here I'm sure it will
breakdown due to over use.
You can go to any partal that list the newspapers of the world.

ron,
Thanks. You are right of course. I should do some research myself - not ask other people...
re. Thread head line: News, Current Affairs ... : I try to pretend to lady that I'm interested in conditions and events in her home country. Is that wrong??
I am sure she is more interested in you, if not, why are u going. In 3 weeks I go to the Ukraine but I know little about it. We are not meeting to discuss my knowledge of local events in her region. Try learning about there culture out of genuin interest.
" i try to pretend to my lady that I am interested" need I say more. You are pushing my meter off the scale.
I am searching the Web for a more durable idiot detection device for you. I think if we have to buy a new one that you are currently using it will bankrupt us here.
Sancho
Get real, do not try to impress someone under false pretenses. I don't expect my lady to have all the same interests as mine. Nor do
I expect her to fake interest. That's being a phony. Most women no matter where they are from can see right through a disingenious man.
So just be yourself, plus people of my age group do not impress easily, especially from someone that try profess their intellect. Makes us 40 something guys wonder if they are hiding their insecurity behind what they think is their vast knowledge. So if guys can see this, women have outstanding intuition and they will catch on to you quick and drop you like a hot potato. My father used to say, it's better to keep one's mouth shut and be considered stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt.
