When I told my girlfriend that I was interested in her. She replied with "in a romantic way?" I didn't know what to say but the first thing that popped into my head was " no i am interested in you as just a friend". She and I still laugh about it and she admits she didn't know how to respond.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

I don't believe that it is imparitive to have held previous office. I believe you just need to be a concerned active member of the community.
