Ah well that's different than being blunt. Somewhat like me, actually, luckily I transmit disdain as boredom at work so most people think I'm unenthusiastic, heh. Sounds like she just needs to lighten up a bit, nothing too major. Client facing work involves far too much BS for my liking but eh have to do the needful.
As for meeting a woman, well long ago my mom realized that wasn't going to happen, so no pressure from the parents on that. Being single does advantages though, lot more free time and money. Although it does have the disadvantage of not having someone to assist in a medical emergency.
