Dating Tips...

I'll start:

  • 1st Date Cheat Code for MEN: Don't tell a girl where you’re going or how to dress. Instead, tell her to "dress for a first date with a guy she really likes". Now, pick three places you'd like to go: someplace fun and active (bowling, pool, mini golf, go-kart racing, ballgame, etc), something romantic and classy (nice restaurant, upscale lounge, art gallery opening) and something in between (nice bar, coffee shop, comedy club). Now, when you pick her up, let the way she's dressed decide which you’re going to do: If she's wearing something sexy and revealing (dress, high heels, low cut top, etc.) than she wants to go somewhere classy and romantic. If she's sporting some jeans, tennis shoes or flip-flops, and a tee, the bowling ally or pool hall may be a good bet. If she's wearing jeans, high heeled boots, and nice top or blouse, than she's not really jonesing for the super romance treatment, and she put in more effort than mini golf deserves (eighteen holes of mini golf in heels... seriously?), so a comedy club or some place with live music is a good choice. Men: You're going to wear a pair of CLEAN, NEAT jeans, a pressed stylish LONG sleeve button down shirt, nice shoes or boots (try to avoid tennis shoes of sneakers). Works for ANY occasion!

  • Try to avoid a movie on the first date!

  • Send flowers to her job, not her home.

  • Set up the 2nd date DURING the first.

  • A text/email/IM is NOT a substitue for CALLING.

For the Ladies:

  • Offer to pay (even if you don't want to, and if he's a gentleman, he'll pay anyway)

  • Kissing on the first date doesn't make you a slut, but not kissing may make you a bitch.

  • Observe the 3/1 Rule: For every 3 dates he takes you on, you should be willing to take him on 1, or at the very least, make him dinner.

Lets see what you got Reddit!
