20 Simple Tips for the Perfect Date
Dos and don'ts from the real-life Miss Match, Samantha Daniels

1. It's okay to suggest a drink instead of dinner for a first date. She dreads a boring four-course ordeal, too.

2. Call her by early evening on Monday to confirm a Tuesday get-together. (Weekends aren't for first dates.)

3. Leave your home and work numbers. No home number and she'll assume you have a wife or girlfriend.

4. If you want to keep the plans a surprise, at least clue her in as to what to wear. You do not want an overdressed, overstressed woman navigating the Talladega pits in high heels.

5. Yes, she'll notice if the date location you've chosen is conveniently around the block from your place.

6. Don't assume that just because you're out with a beautiful woman, she knows how pretty she looks -- she wants to hear it from you.

7. Ask if she's too cold or too warm, and if changing the temperature is in your power, fix it.

8. Men judge women according to whether they can picture having sex with them; women judge men by whether they can imagine kissing them. White teeth, fresh breath, and unchapped lips make her more apt to pucker up.

9. Do not ask her, "So, what kind of music do you like?" The last 25 guys asked that. Be original.

10. She loves when you insist on ordering dessert. Sharing = extra sexy.

11. Tip well: Grab the check, mentally divide the bill by 10, double that number, and throw down the tip. Do it quickly but casually. Believe me, she'll be watching.

12. If she touches your arm, she's interested; if she touches your leg, she's interested tonight.

13. When in doubt, hold her hand.

14. Very small protective gestures go a long way and show her you're a gentleman: Offer your arm as she's stepping from a curb, direct her away from shards of broken glass. She'll notice if you wait until she's safely in her car or house before you leave. Wait the extra 90 seconds, and next time you might be going in with her.

15. She expects you to know her eye color after the first date.

16. Women need momentum -- without it, they lose interest or wonder if you have. Momentum = a minimum of one date a week, plus a couple of phone calls in between.

17. She knows that when you invite her over for a homemade meal or to watch a movie, it's code for "tonight is hook-up night." Don't play this card any earlier than date three.

18. A Friday or Saturday night is required by date four. Otherwise, she'll wonder who else you're seeing.

19. Rule of Genital Groping: If anything happens that couldn't be shown on prime-time TV, call her the next day. Otherwise, she'll feel cheap and used.

20. Don't say, "I'll call you," if you have no intention to. She'd prefer that you say nothing at all.

Good post and good advice, but if a guy doesn't do or know at least half of this list, then they'll never do or know it anyway.

15. She expects you to know her eye color after the first date.

Does this mean that color blind men have no chance? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[Caliente]

No, but if he's not sure about the color he should ask......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

[LRB]

So what color are your eyes? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[Caliente]

You should know..........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

3. Leave your home and work numbers. No home number and she'll assume you have a wife or girlfriend.

Then a better option for some could be the opposite: "DON'T LEAVE YOUR HOME NUMBER!"

Great rules. I'm a better man because of this information [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I have personally failed on this Rule 2 before. This "confirmation call" is really essential. Women seem to need what I deem "extra-communication." Don't leave anything out if it effects their world, which is an expanding universe.

Not to take away from the other rules, ALL essential.

Since this was brought up, how late is too late to telephone for a mid-week bootay call? Should the man use his cellphone, homephone, workphone, or payphone? Is it okay to call from a bar? What percent blood-alcohol level is too high for this type of call?

It all depends on the woman.

I'd assume that it's never too late. Well, I've always assumed in the past that it's never too late.

What percent blood-alcohol level is too high for this type of call?
.25
If you're over three times the legal limit, it's probably just best to sleep it off.
Of course, this is from a guy's perspective.


One of my old roommates made a late night booty call after being way beyond .08 (he was definitely way past .08....way past. I can't specifically tell you how far past it he was. However far 15-18 beers in a night will getcha). Well, the booty call ended with him throwing up on her. Needless to say, that was the last booty call that he made with her. Oddly enough, this is the same ex roommate that threw up on a girl while they were making out.

Also, under what circumstances is it appropriate to make such a call collect?

One never knows about a woman. This truly depends on mood. Although I wouldn't make it a practice to have women paying for things, that is a bad man habit and will eventually meet with some psycho-woman force. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

10. She loves when you insist on ordering dessert. Sharing = extra sexy.

The old milkshake with two straws doesn't work anymore?

I guess this means you shouldn't "forget" you wallet and ask your date to pay. [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

No, but I'd be really impressed with a guy that suggested sharing a fried Twinkie at Pluckers. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Disappointed, no.......vindicated, maybe.....
