what women shouldn't do on the first date...

When you date me, this is what you get....

If the place you are taking me is 30-50 dollars a plate, I am dressed in a dress with expensive shoes, tasteful make up and accessories.

If the place is 15-29 a plate, then I am in a business casual suit (skirt and blouse combo or slacks and blouse) again great shoes, nice make up and accesories

if the place is 8-15 dollars a plate I'm in jeans and a nice top (not a tee), my nice flats or boots, again tasteful make up and accessories...

I always ask what you are having and order a plate that costs less than yours does. I do not order a drink until you do, if you order water, I order water. If you order a drink I order a glass of wine.

I never talk about my ex, unless you've asked me a question about my child that requires me talking about my ex. I do not ask about yours, but may ask about your child which would prompt some back history.

I always offer to pay, I have never been taken up on it.

I am almost always over dressed since it seems that no matter what the cost of the plate, men wear jeans and a ball cap. (which I don't understand....don't you want to impress me too?)

I prefer a coffee for a first date. It's quick, short and I can easily bail if it's not working out.

I think highly of you if you open my door or hold my elbow when I'm walking across an icy parking lot.

You do NOT get sex the first night. You should expect and know this. I have a child at home it makes sense you aren't coming to my place. I have a child at home, it makes sense i'm paying for a babysitter by the hour and I'm not coming to your place for a "nightcap".

I will not text or call you after, except for one brief text/email saying I had a good/great time (if I did) and that I was glad for the opportunity to meet you.

Once I send that, I will not reach out again until YOU do.

If you don't, I assume you didn't have a great time and I am ok with that.

I don't invest too much into the first date. It's like the pre interview of a job interview. You're just scoping out the field. So am I, so realise that I have other fish in the sea and if this looks like it's heading somewhere, THEN I will stop fishing.

Ladies....take notes. This is how it's done.

A couple things to add:
Do NOT be all demanding that men open doors for you, help you with your coat, pull out your chair, etc. If you want to be treated like a lady, act like a woman, not a spoiled princess. If you like that kind of stuff, mention it later. Some women like it, some don't, we don't know. Just don't be demanding about it.

When you are discussing where to go, if the guy asks you for input try to be a little bit helpful. Try not to say "I don't care", you don't have to pick the place but if you hate sushi or are a vegetarian or something then say that. I'm perfectly fine picking the place but I also want to go somewhere you feel comfortable. Plus I want to see your communicating and decision making skills.

Don't come on too strong, if we think you like us too much the challenge will be gone and we will like you less. It's not our fault, women do this too. Just play it cool, act like your having a good time but try to remain a little bit of a mystery.

If you meet someone somewhere and you get there early, let them know. This happened to me once, she showed up early, I didn't see her or recognize her from here pictures, and we both ended up getting a table. That's what text messaging was invented for.

how Many of you have held in a fart on the first date?

NO sex on the first date, unless you're a hooker or want to look like one. Have some class, get to know the guy and devellop a relationship of some sort with him first.

Is it really, though? I read through that thinking 'oh my god, too many things to remember'. I'd spend all night worrying if I'd remembered or stuck to all the 'rules'. Surely the idea of a date is to relax and enjoy yourself?

I make my own money and will order whatever I want.
