First date etiquette... (90)
venere08: Or was that red wine?
Depends on whether it's early or late!
I don't discriminate on the liquid, just as long as i get people to spit their drink out laughing.

RobbieM: But did you spit your drink out?
I need to work out more people i can get to spit their drink out over their computer screens

venere08: Exactly, Laura.
I dress very differently to go see my bank manager, making sure I look immaculate, vs dropping in to see my parents, or even taking my dog for a walk. Slight differences.
Notice I haven't mentioned dating, Laura. Like Sommer, I don't date

Hey Venere!

How you guys manage to meet ppl from a dating site without dating.
Or is it just no 1st date?

Laura25: couldn't resist it. Lol... The way you asked. Do not date?
You are right about having habits, and we all want to get to know a potential partner asap.
But isn't it a matter of respect to keep it decent/acceptable for at least 1st date?
I mean ppl do make some extra efforts for work environment, for social events. Why not for a date?

Hi Laura
I see what you are saying, however, I like people that make the effort everyday, so that a date, I don't want to call it a date, I don't date, but for this conversation we will, they will do that any way.
Make an effort, just as they do in all their daily lives, and after, then I want them to continue, I want them to be able to make the effort, as I do. Everyday, not just on special days...
Because that is what love is, is it not? Keeping the fire alive, I want him to make the effort all the time, not just on the first date.
Does that make a smattering of sense?

Didn't know there was such a thing as dating etiquette and not liking rules much...I say just be yourself and the rest is common sense...I don't see it being anymore complicated than that....

But I have only met people from a dating site, as friends.
I was never going to meet lots of people for dates, whether it was here, in my coffee shop, in my local tax office, the person I would next meet with a view to romance, I would not be sitting in a restaurant, having a meal making small talk, then going home with a peck on the cheek.
I was always going to wake up with him, the next day and the next and the next and next...
When I say I don;t date, I mean I don't date, to test the water, to see if I would like him, if there was a spark, there was going to be a spark and a platform to build something on.
So, to rethink my words, I don't date, different men, I date the same one, each day...
And that is enough for me.
And that is what I wanted.

Gotcha...According to this theory, I don't date either...
Different men? Have a heart Sommer - one is more than enough for me.

Common sense is as much of etiquette as I can handle.

Okay, I will find my heart...
Just for you Laura.
I cannot subscribe to a person having to 'make an effort' on a date.
I would never be with a person who did not make an effort each and everyday.
If I am seeing the man I love, then I will look good, smell good, as I like to look and feel everyday.
If he has an ounce of sense, the reason why he liked me in the first place, was because of who I am and that he found me attractive, that is who I am everyday.
To make an effort to cement that, would be out of character for me, I make an effort each day.
I think I am making sense now.

Jan1305: It´s hard not to try hard, because first impressions are so important. You are right though, it is futile to try to be something other than you are.
I try to look presentable and attractive, smile and go with the flow.

I have to do this. I cannot help it. Jan, you are my friend, you do thst everyday, attractive, wise, smile.
Intelligent, you bleed elegancy and dignity, why on earth would you want to make an effort to be anything other than what you are?
You do not need to.
