Just a sample of reasons why this older woman no longer on the dating scene.
1. He tried to tell me that the U.S. Army had paid for him to earn a master's degree in art history from Oxford University

When I was in graduate school on the East Coast, a guy from New York City asked me out. So in the getting-to-know-you phase, I mentioned that I was from Minnesota. He looked puzzled and asked, "Does Minnesota have a seacoast?" It reminded me of the famous New Yorker magazine cover…Â
I have lived in Tokyo, and I'm sorry I ever left, so I visit as often as I can. Viewed as a whole, it's kind of ugly, but the charm is in the details, the people, the mom-and-pop stores and restaurants, the surprising things you find walking around in the neighborhoods, and the ease…Â

2. The question, "Who the hell are you?" It's supposed to be…Â
