In so doing, I stumbled upon an attractive lady, who seemed to be a viable prospect. I had no idea about her social / monetary status. We made a date.

She was driving some kind of super wedge shaped BMW. Not sure what model it was. \r\nLunch and conversation was pleasant, no sparks were flying. During our conversation, she informed me that her father (whom she would not name) was wealthy and well-known. In addition, she was a former Hollywood model, who was invited to appear as a model on a then-popular TV show, and declined that invitation.\r\nRelying on my inherent charm and gentlemanly manner, I invited her to take a city drive with me in \u201cRed\u201d with the Targa top off. She agreed. \r\nAs the drive was going smoothly, with my near perfect shifting and braking, she posed a question to me. I said sure, ask away. Her question was \u201chow much money do you have in your savings?\u201d My response was about 25 times less than her minimum threshold requirement. \r\nWell, at least she gave me an opportunity.
