Brad:
what you say is half truth, because in my high school years i made a girl fall over wheels for me by being gentle and romantic, she loved it, i sent her loved cards with poems (made by me), we had great talks and i have to admit it took long, very long but it worth it. By the time we dated we were totally in love with each other. My point women not always look the impossible.

In my country there’s a quote: “para los gustos se hicieron los colores”. I don’t know how to translate it but we use to refer that every person has it’s taste and will go for it.

Plus, all women like jerks. It’s a fact. Give them undivided enthusiastic attention, then turn it off and ignore them. Be mysterious, and they’ll keep coming back. It’s the basic rule of attraction. People want what they can’t have. People are intrigued by what they don’t understand or can’t explain. Ok I’m done, but seriously that list pisses me off. It’s one-sided. It does take TWO to tango.

This was obviously written by a woman, and I am aware that it says so, unfortunately, I find the information to be highly inaccurate… It’s like reading a how to not get a second date guide. Advice, do whatever the heck you want. Women don’t want to be with some pansee. Girls like the one that wrote this are uptight, and not fun. To boot you run a major risk of being used. It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it. seriously.

Movies are great for a first date. If you get there a little early, you have some time to chat before it starts. Then afterward you can grab dinner or dessert and have the movie to talk about. That way if it IS akward, you at least have something to talk about until it’s over.

So, what you are saying is be somebody completely different than I really am? Seems a little disingenuous to me. It’s not that I lack manners and what not, I’m just not a ‘quiet dinner’ and ‘no jeans’ kinda person and not a ‘gift giver’ to someone I don’t know… I think the whole ‘be yourself’ thing will work better in the long run. My $0.02… ($0.03 Canadian).

Actually, I love to be taken to the movies on a first date, if its a nice film, because then you can go talk about it afterword. But thats just me, cause I adore film. So, Exception from the nomovierule if the girl is a major cinephile.

So….What prompted you to make such an obvious list? What person who stands any chance of a successful relationship needs tips like this. Yes, taking a shower before a first date MIGHT be a good idea, but if you needed this list to tell you that, you probably shouldn’t be going on a date in the first place.

Women are not goddesses and shouldn’t be treated as such. If women and men are on par with each other in every way shape and form (which they are), Tip 1 should be eliminated, Tips 5, 7, and 8 should be a mutual venture. Men don’t have to run everything. If we’re expected to do all of this, then as a female, you are admitting that you are unable to do these things.

Expect nothing in return? $100 pays 3.5 of my monthly bills. I’m not saying that a woman has to “put out” because that’s not the expectation. At least it’s not mine. My expectation is that this person is self-reliant. If i have to pay for everything, “take charge of the evening”, be confident(which by the way is a personality trait that not all people have), buy a gift, etc. i want something more than “Okay maybe i’ll see you again thanks for all the time and effort and $100+”. For all of that I want a, “Hey, let’s do this again sometime, on me.” Or if it didn’t go well I want the honest truth. I don’t want to leave wondering where my $100 went.

I still cant believe “Expect nothing in return” is headlined with “Respect”. Respect is a mutual give and take between people. I respect that she has bills to pay, she respects that i have bills to pay. Respect is so much more.

Remove or modify Number 4.

I also want specifics for #2. I don’t cook and would prefer not to have a dinner eating. I also work for a wage that barely allows me to get by. Assume i have an extra $30 to spare for a date and hypothetically food is out of the situation.

no gifts on first date, it shows you are trying to win her over right away. even small gifts.

also dinners are ok, but ACTIVE dates are much better. it gives a couple time to interact on something else besides focuses on just themselves.

i can still remember my first date with my boyfriend, with whom i am now very much in love. for both of us, it was our very first date EVER, and so we were both highly nervous. he took me to a womanless beauty pageant at his school, and we both laughed so much we cried. there are so many sweet memories i have of that night: his tender courtesy, his twitchy smile, his strong arms when we hugged goodbye, and all the little idiosyncracies and mannerisms i have come to adore over time. i love you, baby. thanks for a great first date, and every one since then.
