that one episode where Deana's mom asked Picard on a diner but Picard didn't know it was a diner just for two of them

JUST YOU AND MOI, BABY!
Anyone notice how Picard often creates this interpersonal dynamic between himself and Q?
In Hide n' Q when Q tells Picard that Riker is the target of his visit, Picard replies with "Excellent. He'll defeat you just as I did."
Wasn't solving the Farpoint mystery a collaborative effort from everyone in the crew??
***
Then, we have Q Who? in Ten Forward with Picard telling Q, "You are part of our charter to seek out new and unique lifeforms, and you certainly qualify as one of the most unique I've ever encountered. To learn about you is frankly provocative."
"...one of the most unique I've ever encountered?"
What about anyone else's opinion? Picard went from speaking about his crew to speaking solely for himself.
And "frankly provocative?????"
That's a one-on-one with Q from Picard...
***
Remember, Picard visited Q alone when Q was in the Brig in Deja Q? Couldn't he have had Worf fetch him and bring him to the Ready Room?
***
In Qpid, Picard tells Vash after climbing through her window, "My staff and I were brought here (to Sherwood Forest) by an old adversary of mine named Q."
Wasn't Q kind of an adversary to everyone?
***
I always thought the dialogue in TNG was interesting in that while Picard claims that Q is an adversary, Picard kind of claims Q as his own adversary.
Picard believes that it's himself that Q is after--which is totally true, as everyone has always known--but, Picard has in his own way, through his words, created this private relationship with Q.
This doesn't bother Q in the very least of course, because knowing that Picard speaks and acts as if this dynamic with him IS between them, it means that it is just the two of them.
It's a relationship.
It isn't the romantic and loving type that Q ultimately wants with Picard, but it is a relationship, nonetheless.
Q probably figures it has to start somewhere.
It'll get better in time. Q will see that it does.

Fun fact from the Jonathan Frakes commentary on "First Contact":
That is not Alice Krige's hand, which is why it looks so freakishly large. She only had her makeup done from her shoulders up for this day of filming so they got one of the other Borg drones and had him kneel out of shot then reach up and seductively stroke Patrick Stewart's face.
