    I don't mind the guy watching the game on tv in a restaurant if it's just a casual date and we've been out a lot. But if its a nice dinner, and I got dressed up, looking at the tv over by the bar during dinner is NOT okay!

    Yeah... I gotta agree that the absolute biggest don't is to be texting on your phone. At all. I'm far less lenient then some. I just think it's disrespectful on a date and also anywhere else in life. If you're having a conversation with someone you shouldn't be ALSO texting!!!! RUDE.

    As for do's? Do listen. Do engage. Do attempt to see past the nervous mistakes that everybody makes.

    Sloppy eating habits- wipe your mouth, don't chew with your mouth open, don't chew food like you're a cow chewing cud, eat one bite at a time, please.

    Don't tell me what a gentleman and great guy you are. Prove it, actions speak so much louder than words.

    If you spend a lot of time telling about what a nice guy you are I'm going to assume you're trying to A) convince yourself as much as you are me or are B) actually a manipulative jerk who lies regularly. Yep, I know that sounds harsh but I've spent a lot of time dealing with guys who fall into A or B. And it's always the guys who aren't bragging and talking big that treat me the best.

    If we are on a date and you are checking your phone every time it buzzes or beeps, don't expect me to buy into that bull**** that you didn't get my text later on. You aren't fooling anyone when you text back ten hours later because you "didn't see it." Just do what I do and don't text back because you don't care.

    Don't lay there and tell me that those littled bumps on your lower region are nothing and you think they will clear up in a week...

    - Don't text unless you absolutely have to. I'm giving you all of my attention, I expect yours in return.
    - Do take care of yourself. Looking sloppy gives a bad impression. This should be a no brainer but I have gone on some dates with pretty grimey guys!

    Don't fart, at least not loudly.
    Do blame it on someone else. If there's a dog around, you're golden.

    Do: Be honest and open. Be interested and make the best of it, even if it's just for an hour or two and you will never see this person again.

    Don't: Assume that I'm only interested in hearing about you...There's a lot of cool stuff to know about me too. Please reciprocate conversation.

    Do: Have open conversation with the person you're dating.
    Don't: Air out all the dirty laundry from your relationship on a public forum.

    DO NOT be condescending to me

    just because i am a woman and i am small

    does NOT mean i cannot kick your *kitten*, outwit you anytime, and embarrass you in front of your bros.

    in fact, don't act like a bro.

    The thing that I cant deal with is her on the cell phone texting. Ive let women at the restaurant for that. Its rude and disrespectful. If you cant put your phone down for an hour for dinner than you dont need to go out. I also cant deal with women who will set up two dates at the same time, yes women do this and pick the best one for the night. Another one is cheating or just looking for a free meal or cure boredom. RUde to the server, talking about their bad boy ex, smoking, being negative, complaining, gossiping, making us listen to Katy Perry the ride back and there, telling us that they are adventerous and spontaneous and loves sports and we get there and they dont like any of them, know theat we are going for a hike or doing something outdoors and they wear high heels, say LIKE or OMG every sentence, dressed like chris's mom (a hooker) trying to hit on guys while on a date are not good either.

    do: hold hands across the table
    do not play with your phone: games, music, text, calls (unless its an emergency of course), and any other apps your phone might have... no i don't want to see the latest app or zombie game :p

    do: hold the door open for your lady
    do not: wear your hat at the table

    its ok to call the waitress ma'am but not your date

    Don't:-

    Ignore me and talk to your friend we bumped into at the bar
    Talk constantly about your ex
    Try and get me to drink when I've clearly said I'm driving
    Talk me into ordering dessert and not order one yourself
    Leave to make urgent phone calls - it gives the impression you have something to hide
    Criticise my driving when I'm driving you home - especially if you don't drive

    Do:-

    Hold doors open and pull back my chair
    Maintain regular eye contact
    Be a good listener but share information about yourself in return
