Dating 101



I sitting thinking about the single lifestyle and how it can be complex if you been out of the single game for a minute. You have to readjust your way of thinking if you are a neo to single life and that's just not one sided that goes for men and women. So I decided to help my plurally challenged (single) peeps. Here are some tips you should chew on before you began dating again:

1. Do NOT sleep with anyone you can't see yourself having children with! If they are annoying but the sex is good, keep it moving! I rather have mediocre sex with a good person than sex with one that will drive me crazy and then 9 months later a baby enters the picture and now you're stuck with this person for 18 plus years....

2. Do NOT talk badly about your EX. I don't care if he or she was the scum of the earth, move on. No one wants to be with bitter person. If you find yourself in a situation where he or she ask about your past relationship just be easy.

3. Do NOT seem overly eager to go out on a date. I mean it makes it seems as if no one ever ask you out EVER. Now sure you may be excited about your new prospect but save that energy for the actual date.

4. Don't act like you broke! This just means ladies don't act so eager to go out to dinner like you can't buy your own meal and men don't try and dodge taking a lady out to dinner because you think that's all she wants. Ladies if it's not about the money for you make suggestions of things you all could that doesn't cost money. This will impress him and Men be creative not every date has to fall inline around the lunch and dinner hour. Why not go for yogurt? (ladies love yogurt).

5. If you got nice things, quit infusing those "nice" things in to the conversation. No one cares that you drive a Mercedes, have a flat screen tv, you rock gucci, prada or Louis. It comes off as pretentious and it's NOT sexy. It also makes you seem that your personality is lacking.

6. Don't act like you're in relatioship because you went on more than one date. If he or she does not call you back then let it roll off your shoulders. No one is committed to no one and you should be dating multiple people anyhow. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Men have mastered this art but women we should take notes.

7. Do NOT invite your date over to your home until you have been dating at least a month. It just gets too messy. There is a level of trust on both sides that need to exist before this happens. You need to have some since of does this person has potential to last.

8. Brush up on your conversation skills. There is nothing more annoying than to have a non conversation, conversation with someone. Look at the news, read a book, or find our what the other person likes and learn about it a little. You can't win over any hearts with boring conversation!

Okay these are just a few, but I think there are more you can add to the list tell us what should be added to the dating rules?

9. Men if you know that you are self-conscious about your height let the lady know before the date and we will compromise and wear flip flops...........

Be open minded to going on a date that doesn't revolve around food. There are more things to do in life besides eat.

Don't order more food or something that cost more then what YOU yourself would spend. That's rude and tacky.

Don't judge a man based on where he takes you out to. Every date will not be a fairy tale.

I have to second Anonymous on "ordering food"....I agree you should never expect someone to take you where you wouldn't take yourself...........absolutely tacky!!!

I'm with you ladies on the whole dont' order something you are not willing to get for yourself. As well as every date is not going to be a fairy tale. Youj have to go through some ruff things to get to the smooth things.

I think I have an issue myself though as when I meet someone I want to take them out soon so I can get to know them. When, I guess I should be letting time pass for a while.
