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

I agree with that. Though I DO like being treated (who doesn't?!), my BF and I have agreed to split the bill when going out for dinner, movies, buying groceries etc. It just makes it so much easier, and there's no guilt when the guy always insists to pay (often times with resentment building up). What I don't understand is when I see women very big in the feminist movement, yet expect men to pay for their food etc as if the man was the only one bringing home the money. It's a two way street.

Stay off your phone!!!!

...you're saying they shouldn't stay off their phones?
How, in the word of science, is that okay?

sorry i meant be on the phone

Don't try too hard. Try the perfect amount. Don't dress too sexy, but dress sexy enough. You aren't a nun. Show some skin. Don't talk too much, but when you do talk, talk about all the RIGHT things. Don't flirt with the waiter. Don't look at your phone. Don't forget to brush your teeth eight times before the date, twice during, and once after. Don't order garlicky or spicy foods. Don't tell your date he reminds you of your dad. Don't talk about your porcelain egg collection. Don't pretend you don't have kids, but don't whip out your phone and show him a few hundred candid photos of them, either. Don't forget to shave. Don't go past second base. Don't come off as needy, unless the guy seems to like that kind of thing. Don't drink too much, but don't drink too little, either. Guys want a girl that knows how to have fun but doesn't pass out every night with two empty bottles of pinot on her nightstand. Don't be a ballbuster, unless your new guy would like his balls busted. Don't wear flats, but don't wear stilettos, either. Don't forget to be yourself, unless yourself sucks. Then be someone else. Don't tell him how much you can deadlift unless you are 99.9% certain he can lift more than you. Don't finish your food. Don't ask for a doggie bag. Don't pick up the check. It's emasculating.

Bloody hell.

If I was a woman and I had to live up to all those requirements I think I would rather be single...

If a man is stupid enough to buy me a drink, buy me dinner, or otherwise pay for my **** that's on him. Regardless of whether he pays for dinner, you don't owe him sex, intimacy, or anything else. I just never offer to pay and if he insists on going splitsies, I just excuse myself to the bathroom and sneak out of the restaurant.

I found you a new iphone app!

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.

If i have unfinished food I'm taking it home. Wasting food is stupid. Especially when you can usually make another whole meal out of huge restaurant portions.

Don't wear underwear... worked for me and married 13 years.
