  Do you catch yourself turning into your mother or father?

  I think there are times when I find myself saying things that one of them would have said, but I don’t think that I’m turning into either one. As to whether it’s a good or bad thing, it depends on how much you admire or value your parents. If you think they are great people, it’s probably okay to emulate them to some degree, or the qualities you like. However, if they are not nice or you have issues with them, observing and understanding what drives those negative qualities will help you to identify when you might be exhibiting those.

  How do you 'let someone down' or tell them in the nicest possible way that you are not interested?

  I would agree with everyone who said be direct and clear. Don’t leave any room for ambiguity with this person. I don’t think you need to belabor it, either call or email with a simple statement explaining that you enjoyed hanging out, but that there are feelings for anything beyond that. Thank him for the time you’ve spent and leave it at that. Don’t make promises about the future either – that leaves too much open.

  What is your favorite "Adult Beverage"?

  There is no single favorite – it depends on the time of day, the occasion and the company. It can vary from nice red wine, to a wonderful beer to a gin and tonic, well-made margarita, or some other cocktail. However, fresh ingredients for cocktails make all the difference in the world and would prefer drinks that are made with homemade ingredients to those using excessive amounts of soda.
