Don't ask for nudes

Don't mistake it for therapy.

Don’t show pictures of your ex’s boobs

Don’t talk about how you’ve been dealt a dirty hand in life, how you hate your ex wife and don’t be pulling up in a crap car.

Do open the door for me and take me to a restaurant where I can run and hide if I think you’re crazy or boring me.

It’s been a long time since I dated, so this may be outdated advice, but pulling from my long-term memory, my best dates that turned into second dates + I just looked the best I could, and acted like myself. The worst dates: don’t date when feeling depressed. Don’t talk too much, listen and be attentive, show an interest in your date (but not if they are boring - then find an excuse to leave.) Don’t put yourself down. Don’t criticize your date. Just be yourself. Don’t go on about your ex. Don’t whine and complain. I’m sure there is more, but that’s enough. Oh, and don’t be vulgar.

Don't drink too much . Don't talk about your ex. Do be on time. Do be respectful. Do split the bill

Do not tell them you sympathize with the Cylons. Even if they like science fiction and seem cynical.

Cheap lemon green suits are a big no-no
Talking about your pimpin accomplishments, no
Sob stories, no
Drinking like a pirate, well, only if the other person is drinking like a pirate... And cursing like one too

Do have a sense of humor and ask questions.

Don't get sloppy drunk or touch the person without consent. (This happened on my last date it was a nightmare and dude kept touching me when I made it clear I didn't want him to)

Do: Interact, split the bill, be polite, be a gentleman/lady, show respect

Don’t: Talk about your ex, be on your phone, arrive late, standing someone up, be disrespectful

Don't make them uncomfortable or unhappy

Do everything else...

Dont tell her how much money you make.lol

Don't talk about their mother all night

dont talk about salaries

Do have fun.

Don't tell her your kinks too soon.

Don't shit on the floor

stand on top of the table at the restaurant, while eating the food and screaming that world is ending tomorrow.
