Go with the intention of getting to your date, likes , dislikes. Talk to her about your date before you go so you will know what to expect and know how far the date will go.

If you happen to be a member of congress, be sure you know what it will cost you and always pay her cash!laugh

Great advice! Ok what's considered a "date restaurant?" I'm in the process of having one this afternoon. Nothing's is set . It's snowing so, I'd like something cozy. Do I let him pick, should I have some idea's? What do you have for advice for me?


Have some ideas just in case he doesn't and cozy on a snowy afternoon is good! Have fun!!flowerforyou


Someplace with a quick exit,park close to it. I'm kidding, the advice is awesome and should be printed and sealed in plastic like a drivers license.

Just thought I'd pass on some things I've experienced along the way...please feel free to add your own..

1. First and foremost and I cannot stress this enough...show up.
2. If you have dentures, they are not optional...bring them...putting them in your shirt pocket doesn't count...wear them.
3. Clean your vehicle out, at least the passenger side so I am not sitting on receipts from the Piggly Wiggly and bags of have eaten food from Jack In the Box.
4. You don't have to dress up, maybe save the wife-beater for the second date. Wear clean clothes. I don't wanna see what ya had for breakfast or the previous night's dinner on your shirt.
5. Other than the number of ex's you have, no one needs to really hear any other details.
6. Try to remember your date's name.
7. Your job, though may be fascinating to you, it is not you, be prepared to talk about something else.
8. Cell phone...turn it off.
9. Don't ask your date to dinner and dancing and then spring on her your taking her mudding...which is fun, but not in heels.
10. Don't take them any where you might run into someone you've dated and perhaps pizzed off.
11. Guys pay for the first date. Period.
12. Gals, be prepared to pay.






thanks for sharing.

And ladies...

Please, please PLEASE try to contain the need to take all sorts of inane cell phone pics of the food you're eating to your friends! Not only is it inconsiderate to the fella who will inevitably drop the fifty to get you fed (who is probably trying to engage in some "stimulating conversation"), but it'll make you look like you got some serious ADHD going on.

Also- PLEASE fight the urge to take part in marathon texting barrages with your friends as well. Not only will your Blackberry (or other device capable of text messaging) thank you, but so will the fella you're SUPPOSED to be dating.

Don't get me wrong- one or two pics of the food you're about to shove down your gullet is fine, if only for the "Holy gee whiz!!!" factor. Anything over, say, FIVE is just wrong.

The incessant texting while on the date MUST NOT HAPPEN, though. It's rude and it's inconsiderate.

Serious? I've never had that first one happen.

Then again, I don't go to food for the first date.

Don't be pushy with physical affection. If you go in for a kiss, it can be polite to ask first; if you're not going to do that, be prepared for a pulling back if s/he's not ready, and DON'T PUSH FOR IT.

(I had a recent date who felt pushy to me. Fastest way to turn me off.)

It's actually happened TWICE. On DIFFERENT DATES. Annoying as hell, too.

And another thing, ladies-

If your first date is a "backup date" for another one that didn't pan out, PLEASE don't tell us that- not only is it inconsiderate, but it adds an air of "I'm only going out with you for the free dinner". And that stinks no matter WHO is buying.
