Thanks for the input. I appreciate your thoughts. I think I will run with that. I have told a couple people before what I do for a living and it kind of worked out as you said. She just kept asking me dumb questions and i got annoyed. Then they want me to teach them how to play. I will run with the internet job. Thanks for the advice.

You need to look in Other Other Topics. That's where the good advice lives. Ask there - but make sure you know what SIIHP means first.

Sounds like you can keep her talking about her 'career' and aspirations rather easily. I don't think it would be bad for you stretch the truth a little about your profession. Maybe focusing on something that is true - like how you can ply your trade from just about anywhere.

Poker is a sport. Tell her you've been competing for the past year and you'd love for her to write a story on you.

Well, look at it this way:

She's in sports. She's obviously not a girly-girl in a sense, so you've got a plus there. As a female, I'd perfer the truth over any stupid ass lie. Just tell her in such a way that it seems like no big deal to you; "yeah, I play poker and make so much money. You wouldn't believe it." Hell, she may even play poker herself.

Why are guys so scared to tell girls they play poker? This is the second time someone has asked this. If she flips out and calls you a crazy gambler, just throw her off the Kennedy Center.

Another way to think of it is this: You only live life once, and if you're doing what makes you happy and provides you all the comforts of living you could ask for, what the [censored] is the big deal? I think that should be your point more than "I am a gambler."

It's the first date. Why even bring it up . . . ? Be different. Live the situation and try not to talk about yourself so much.

You're giving too much of yourself away.

First off, I live in DC, and definitely a great date plan.

But more importantly, if you really DO treat the date as if you are friends, then your lifestyle won't be a problem. If you have the chance, explain how serious poker is to you, but don't go crazy talking about it. The important aspect is to make the friendship first - no logical person is going to refuse a friendship just because you are a poker player, but a lot of people wouldn't want to be in a relationship with one.
