    Tried to hold my hand on the first date. Had that happen twice.

    That's a problem?? LOL

    Not being honest about intentions. Don't claim you're looking for a soulmate (blech) when you really just want to hook up.

    My first date with a guy on Friday as we are eating:

    Him: "Oh. I shouldn't have ordered brocolli. It makes me fart."
    Me: **staring in shock**
    Him: "Let's hope I don't fart."
    Me: **face palm**

    He's 35. Quite possibly why he's single.

    I don't really believe in rules, like you can't do this or talk about this until date 3 or whatever. Just be who you are. That's either going to make the guy really uncomfortable (if he's douchey and trying to play the whole thing like he's following a script), or he's going to be relieved to discover that this doesn't have to be a dog and pony show and that you can just relax and learn something useful about each other. All of the awkwardness and "What am I allowed to say?" stuff tends to go away when you stop pretending and just be real.

    I've never had a date bring a spouse, but I have found out that they have one, after we are out. Nope. Not cool.

    So then, just saying off the bat.....
    "You, me and a hotel room...."

    That should do it??

    I had a guy that picked me up and drove me straight to his house without batting an eye. After we sat around for a little while talking he pulled his sheets out of the dryer and asked me to help him make the bed.

    preach! i could not agree more.

    i have another no-no. maybe it's a no-no on my part for not being familiar with football terminology, but the guy said he sort of had a linebacker's build, and i imagined a quarterback. he showed up with an *kitten* out to mars and was actually knocking stuff down in the store we went to...with his butt. i cut that one short.

    Don't fret if someone isn't into you. We're not all perfect matches.

    Don't be creepy (if you're a dude, don't start asking when you want kids if you're a woman)

    Just enjoy it. Enjoy the atmosphere, take each first date as a compliment. Even if you don't match, they thought you were attractive and interesting. Its important to never feel down.

    Chill C:


    Also, don't take advice from people on the internet :P

    LOL! I didn't say it would get me into the hotel room, I merely approve of the directness of the approach.

    Is there a Duck Dynasty break up card for this situation? I feel like there should be.

    No no=telling me that you were playing with a dog and it bit you and you went into such a rage from this that you blacked out and beat the dog to death. That would be (and was) a deal breaker.

    Being who you are isn't a good idea for most people, because most people are self-absorbed idiots with messed up priorities.
