    You wont get a word in edgeways. The conversation will be mainly about him. The only thing you will be expected to contribute are some leads.

      Make sure you order the most expensive item for each course, whether you like it or not. And offer to choose a different wine for each course too

          I got an agent invite me to dinner, so took along some of the other contractors, to make it a party.

          Turned out the agency sent a really tasty bird, and all the geeks I took along made me look like an Adonis.

          Result!

            Dinner! i've got a nonsense chat lined up next week and I'm only getting coffee. Only going because i'm in the vicinity anyway and it can fill a gap in the schedule.

            But I'm going to make sure i order the biggest Danish Pastry also now...

              Write back after the meal and tell us how many minutes it took him to ask for a lead.

                    Don't forget to mention if the agent was sad enough to bring flowers to the date.

                    Sorry couldn't resist. Hope the dinner goes well.
