Dating rules (59)
Cachuchi: A very good friend of mine dedicated that song to me in a very sad moment of my life, it was 11 years ago, everytime I´m sad I listen to that song and feel better ....not that I´m sad now (well almost lol) but I remembered you liked it
Have you ever think about who of them survived and who doesn´t (famous and talented singers) ? ..... I worked at the show business for a couple of years....barely to resist, they need what they need.
Anyway, time to bed here

Deedee123x: I hope that my date would be with someone i like..am attracted to...am interested in and that that feeling is mutual.
My last first date i was on...the guy wanted to wine and dine ... we got on like a house on fire..had a great time and a great laugh.....wining and dining didnt happen...much to his annoyance....i said no to that and we ended up in mcdonalds eating a big mac.!! Lol
Im not high maintenance...im as happy going for a walk on the beach...go for a drink n a quiet pub.
Going for a walk etc than to be all fancy schmancy...im not a fancy schmancy person so not going to start now.

Bearwoman: Dating rules? In my day I don't think they were labeled that way.A bunch of us went out and had fun together.There were some guys that tried to get into a girls pants but as a whole we had fun.
What do you mean, women always have had expectations from men, especially when they had plans on "getting with them"

Miwagi: First you have to get a date. Here is some help with that
1. Finding a partner is a project and requires time and energy. If what you want is a long-term relationship, approach it with your goals in mind. The right mindset is key: Start out by knowing that you are in control of the process.
2. If you’re looking online, do your profile with a friend — this will help you lighten up. Don’t boast or be self-deprecating. Be funny, short and concise, and don’t sound too cutesy. A photo that shows you actively pursuing an interest is good because it offers information without being wordy.
3. Scan profiles selectively. Pick out three or four guys and signal your interest. When you contact someone, refer to a remark he/she made in their profile. If someone shows an interest in your profile, remember that you are not obligated to respond unless you want to. You be the judge.
4. With several prospects, start an email exchange. But limit your emails to no more than two or three before suggesting a face-to-face meeting. Anyone who wants to prolong emailing is not interested in a relationship. He/she likes the anonymity of email flirting. Avoid this person — he could be married, in another relationship or just a creep.
4. Arrange a coffee or drink at a convenient location. Talk about things you like to do, your job, college stories or recent experiences. (Be on time — showing up is at least 50% of success!)
Umm, like wow!!! Are you serious, what the hell? who are you!!
5. Pay attention to whether there is a good balance in the conversation. Does he dominate? Do you? Are you finding common interests? Avoid talking about your or his problems. Do not give advice even if he is begging for it; this is a bad way to start. Stay upbeat.
6. On first dates, make sure you have other plans afterward and keep them, regardless of how things are going. If you’re underwhelmed with this person, you will have a good escape route. If you are having a great time and don’t want to leave, stick to your previous plan. If you are interested, say so explicitly upon leaving. (This may sound too forward, but there is nothing wrong about being clear.)
7. Offer to split the check. Nowadays, single, college-educated women under the age of 30 are often making more money than men, so don’t stand on ceremony waiting for him to pay.
8. Wait to see if he initiates an email or text. If he doesn’t, cross him off your list. He’s not interested or available. Start over.
9. If he emails or texts (or makes the extra effort to make a phone call!), respond, but move along and suggest meeting again. This should be a real date with a fixed time and place. If he wants to keep it spontaneous, with something like “Let’s try for Tuesday,” don’t bother putting it on your calendar. It’s just not likely to happen.
10. After you’ve met, beware of texts that arrive at odd times and are friendly but unaccompanied by a suggestion of a date. These are false positives because they suggest more intimacy than is real. Don’t be taken in. Most likely, he’s bored and is just playing with his phone. Respond only if you have seen him in person within the last week.

I'm a bit naughty. Toward the end of dinner I'll make the excuse of going to the toilet and pay the bill unbeknown to my date. If she insists on paying half, she is more than welcome to. Call me old fashioned.

Countah Here is some of what I've always expected from a man.
I expect him to like me for who I am,respect me,,who's loyal to me,honest and faithful,opens the car door for me,opens and holds a door for me as we are walking up to a building etc.You know the old chivalry thingy.

Countah: So ladies, I'm a guy and I know that women are offended when they go out on a date with a guy and he doesn't conform the the rules that you think should be adhered to, such as opening doors, pulling out chairs, buying the drinks, or paying for the meal; or is that old school and finished with? Me personally I feel that you fight for equality in everything so what the heck, pay your weight like the rest of the guys that you are fighting to be like Lol, just kidding. But seriously, what are the rules and what do you expect should happen on your dates.
common misconception...
women wanting to work, get equal pay, aren't trying to be men.
you can put an 'Lol' behind it, but why are you even thinking of it?
re: dating..
expectations will kill ya...
be genuine to yourself, sans the rules.
when my son was 17, he was dating this girl, and it wasn't long before he decided to stop seeing her.
i asked why
and i loved his answer..
"Mom, i liked her better in the beginning when she was pretending to be someone else".
might as well be who you are right from the get go, so you meet someone who's a great match for you as you are.

Yes that's a good point, be yourself, if you the expectation of being treated then say so, or if you want to be treated as equal and allowed to pull your weight, then say so

In these modern times of so called equality men will always be expected to pick up the cheque and not even expect a kiss on the check

...Because the meetoo lynch mob men have to be very careful with even approaching women, with a camera and witnesses...It is too easy for a woman to make false claims, ruin a man's career, reputation, put him in prison and this is just on a woman's word only, no evidence of any kind and sadly this is a fact western men face have to face...
...I can see many men not wanting to be alone with women in the work place or anywhere else for that matter, so feminists really have put up a massive barrio, between men and women, but only men are ever held accountable..
