I'd LOVE to hear what the best dating advice you ever got was!

Patti Stanger gave some of my favorites. One of them is that while you are on a date, have a 2 drink maximum. You don't want to get drunk and do something you wouldn't normally do.

    Two drink maximum? :-( Guess I better make it strong like an adios motherf*cker or tokyo tea then! I can't think of any advice that I'd qualify as "best." Maybe I should listen to my friends more but then I wouldn't have all the funny stories I have. Hmmm, maybe that's why I'm still single. :ohwell:

    Aren't you ladies suppose to wear granny panties on the first date so you know you won't take off your "pants".

    Don't burp or fart. Especially ladies.

    I'm not gonna lie, though. I belch a lot. I wouldn't on the first date to a complete stranger, though! Lol.. unless I went past the two drinks rule and had 12 beers.

    True! I forgot about the granny panty rule. Although it doesn't always work...

    Haha, doesn't work... nor does only shaving up to mid-thigh, haha....

    I'm learning to not go in assuming that they're a good fit because there is some chemistry. I'm not expecting them to PROVE themselves to me, but I kinda am....

    Outside of that, I'm doing what makes me comfortable and forgetting the rest...

    Another Patti-ism is "No sex before monogomy". What do you guys think of that?

    If you're looking for a relationship this is good. If you're just having fun dating and not looking for anything serious then it doesn;t really matter anyway.

    I've seen too many women get hurt thinking because they had sex now they're in a relationship. Or they aren't wanting a "relationship" but those bonding hormones women release during sex mess with their heads and now they want more out of the guy. So, yep, I certainly agree with this.

    Depends on the guy and on what you want from him... If you want something fun and no strings why wait. But you should always have a talk with the guy about the parameters and what each of you expect. You really want to make sure your on the same page with a guy preferably before you have sex

    What about just not washing the box for a few days? That should do the trick.

    Agreed.

    I think some women can seperate sex from love/relationships/attachment but I know I really can't. Tried it...yea, no go for me.

    Just don't uncross your legs at dinner or it could ruin someone's appetite.

    I think I'll lose my lunch now...

    Seriously, not worth it. I'd rather just get some at that point if I wanted someone bad enough to consider not cleaning myself to slow me down, haha...

    Best dating advice came from my best guy friend: Don't let your feelings run away with a guy until you're exclusive, and never assume you're exclusive: you'll know it when the guy says so.

    I think good advice is to not have rules. I am trying to be more "go with the flow". Of course I do have boundaries but I used to have a strict no kissing rule on 1st date. Well now I smooch if I feel the chemistry. Kissing is a HUGE indicator of passion and chemistry to me. If that sucks, I'm pretty much over it. And usually if I want to kiss you, it's a good sign!!
    Last night I had a 1st date. We smooched it up and it was yummy!!!!! 2nd date already booked. Also, if the guy didn't even try to kiss me, would probably make me feel he wasn't attracted to me.

    I agree with you on this. I'd need a super long hug or a kiss on the cheek at the end of the date else I'd assume he wasn't attracted either. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

    If you are on a blind date and the girl turns out to be a fraud. . get stinking drunk. . Then, she will dump you for being a drunk and you won't worry about hurting her feelings. . And you'll have fun getting stinking drunk!

    I'm kind of like this too..I need to know what the kissing chemistry is like and if he's interested..I love a good mini make out session at the end to see if there is something there. If there is not chemistry whats the point?

    Yes, when there is definite chemistry, the kiss rocks! However, it's never fun when the two people involved are not on the same page. Curious how others handle this when you know there is no spark but you think the other person feels one?
