There are some rules you need to know before you venture into the big, bad world of love and dating.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fresh-cut Flowers
  • Boxes Of Chocolates
  • Concert Tickets
  • Dinner Reservations
  • Movie Tickets
  • Sports Tickets
  • Bike Helmets
  • Mountain Bikes
  1. Step 1

    Don't cut or color your hair at the beginning of a relationship. Your new love interest might be nice about it, but he won't like it.

  2. Step 2

    Wear whatever you want - just wear it well. Don't try to squeeze your size 10 body into a size 2 dress. Be proud of who you are.

  3. Step 3

    Say what you mean. Subtle hints are scary and are often misinterpreted.

  4. Step 4

    Remember, your date can't read your mind.

  5. Step 5

    Find out who does the laundry. If a guy's old girlfriend or his mom is sorting his socks, you'll know he's not ready for a relationship.

  6. Step 6

    Don't be too available. Men are hunters, remember?

  7. Step 7

    Don't talk about your ex, reveal your deepest darkest secrets, complain a lot, or interrupt - and don't tolerate that kind of behavior from your dates.

  8. Step 8

    Be yourself. No bragging, no lying - you'll get busted sooner or later.

  9. Step 9

    Tell your date what you like about him. Stroke that ego a little, will ya?

  10. Step 10

    Be considerate ' for example, call if you'll be late. Expect the same from your date. And if he doesn't deliver, get rid of him. You deserve better.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't drink too much on a date. Of course, you're nervous - but you're also sloppy and talk too much when you do that.

on 7/8/2007 Never ever call your mate halfway through, unless you really need to get out of there fast. If you're just bored, stick it out with gritted teeth and make a believable excuse to go home as soon as it's over.

on 7/5/2007 Try not to talk about your ex boyfriends. That's a big turn off, not unless you have established that you and your date are close close. Close enough to see each other on a regular basis. Be yourself and don't be afraid to talk about what inspires you. Women with ideas and a passion drive me crazy!

on 2/12/2007 Most men like to be the leaders. On the first date, let him choose the restaurant, the theater or anywhere else you may go. This way he is going to feel comfortable, but on the other hand, you can discover what kind of interests he has. Let him show you and then take the decision if you want to keep him or not.

on 7/21/2006 It is much better to be yourself and probably make some mistakes than act like you are someone else. If there is someone that is going to be in a relationship with this man it is going to be you. Not your friend. So, it is better if you see clearly if you truly match. The mistakes you make show your true self. If he cannot stand them then there is no future in this relationship.
