First date etiquette... ( Archived) (90)

Right. Be good.

But don't take your dogs to a 1st date (if it's in fact is a 1st date).

No matter how gorgeous they are.

Unless your going duck hunting on your first date. Those labs would be great for that

Remember what her name is.
Don't stare at her chest when talking to her.
Go to the mini-golf place for first date--it's public, it's cute and you can talk about the silly things they have at each hole.
Don't wear a dress, unless you're the female.

Signs of no interest: Long, uncomfortable pauses in conversation that aren't funny.
You forget her name and she forgets yours.
She goes to wash room, and doesn't return.

what if you forget your name...does this still apply

Some tips that might be useful.

Don't ask if she has a sister.
Don't ask if her sister has a larger chest.
Don't ask if her sister and her come as a package deal.
Don't ask if her sister has any other friends.
Don't ask if her mum looks young, especially after asking all of the above.
Don't turn up smelling like a dead badger.
Don't turn up with food all down your shirt.
Don't turn up bare chested, with your trousers half the way down your legs.


Always remember never to bring your onscene photos of ex partners to the date, and say "how do you like gagging" then show her pictures of some poor woman choking on something.This might just upset her whilst shes eating dinner.

Yes. But your other personality may come through with the name and steer you right. If you're lucky.

1.) How should a person dress? SMART CASUAL

2.) Where should a couple go? MUTUAL DISTANCE: COFFEE

3.) What are some signs that your date is not interested? LACK OF EYE CONTACT, CONVERSATION, LAUGHTER.

4.) What are signs that they are? ALL THE ABOVE TO NO. 3

Hey Paradox I like the new look, very green.

to answer your questions:

This question actually is pertinent(sp?) to the second. For the most part think job interview. Don't go to Mc Donalds dressed like James Bond, don't go to a fine restuarant dressed like the Village People. Basicly perpare for the date as in dress appropriate for the establishment. Be neat in appearence this will show your date that you are actually interested in the date(i.e. you didn't see it as a night with the guys). Further, and this may get some frowns, it will show that you do not wish to embarress your date. ANd, yes wear clean clothes; not says I don't care like a shirt that has been laying on dirty socks for a week.

It has been said many times before, think short with a back up plan. A quick cup of coffee will allow you and your date the oppertunity to depart if there is no connection. If you seem to hit it off then you can go to back up plan and offer an activity that will continue the date; maybe dinner. ABSOLUTLY no movies for first dates; 90 minutes of sitting in the dark not interacting is not a way to get to know someone. I advise going somewhere where you can see how they interact with other people. They maybe trying to impress you but few people try to impress everyone. Ask yourself these question:
Do they treat the wait staff with some sort of respect?
Do they people watch or person watch?(this one helps you to decide question(your question)3 and 4)
If they people watch are their comments negative, possative or neither?(some people do comment on observation without judgement)
Are they curtious?
This list goes on. Do not Sherlock Holmes your date. Just observe with the intent to be some objective. Little Johnny wants the date to go well but don't let little johnny control your future.

As to question 3 and 4, if you are asking yourself this...YOU SHOULD NOT BE ON A DATE. The purpose of a date is not to see if they are interested, it is to see if you are interested. You want to see who they are, not who you can make them.

This is only my opinion but what do I know. My idea of a good first date is not drooling on myself and hoping she doesn't mention the 'I love me' jacket.


stupid voices

your very, very bad
