Dating Tip #24

If you are going to a movie & they suggest something that you definitely do not want to see let them know, otherwise you are signing up for an evening of boredom, which no doubt will not lead to a next date.

Tip #23

If your date suggests going bowling or to play putt-putt or something of the sort make sure you tell them if you don’t like the activity, otherwise you may not have fun & ultimately ruin your chances with this person. Just because your date/man/husband/lover/girlfriend is into something does not mean you need to be!!

Dating Tip #22

I am so sorry it has taken so long for me to post a new tip, I've been very busy lately...unfortunately not from dating :(

If they want dessert & you are full, tell them to go ahead & order & if they offer you a bite it is polite to taste it unless you really don’t care for it or honestly couldn’t eat another bite.

Dating Tip #21

Just because I told you to order & eat on a date doesn’t mean that you should make a pig of yourself. If they take you out for BBQ & you want the ribs, dig in but just make sure you wipe your face often & definitely wash your hands after the meal.

You Are You!

Ok ladies, I've been on the dating scene forever & in the past I was guilty of the following but I eventually learned better.
So we all know how exciting the "honeymoon phase" of a new relationship is and how you just can't get enough of this person and the mere thought of being away from them makes you want to die but ladies, you cannot succumb to this nagging desire to spend every waking moment with this dude. I say that you are allowed no more than 3 weeks of disappearance in a relationship and then you need to get back to reality. If you spend more than that amount of time all locked up with your new man you are going to start losing relationships that you have been building for years. Your bff that has been around since high school isn't going to take kindly to you ignoring her for some guy, and eventually will just walk away from you. Spending all of your time with your man is only going to cause your friends to hate him which will again cause them to leave you, all alone with your man, who I can guarantee hasn't given his friends up for you. I'm not saying that you can't talk to him all of the time but when the weekend comes I find it best to spend one day with the man & one with the friends then everyone is happy. I will also say that when you are out with your friends they don't want to hear you talk about your man all night. You are you, you still have your own identity & your own life, interests, views...etc. I recommend treating a new relationship like you have been in it for years, not weeks. This will be greatly appreciated by your friends, his friends, and best of all the relationship which will be much stronger & stand a better chance when there is space involved rahter than smothering each other & the fire between you. Question my suggestions? Watch the Lauren/Heidi/Spencer saga on teh Hills & if you want to live friendless like Heidi then ignore all I've said, but if you would rather not be talked about by your "friends" behind your back then taek my suggestions to heart. Your man should compliment you, not run your life!!

Dating Tip #20

If you are going out to eat with someone make sure you order & eat, don’t get a salad (unless you really want one) because you don’t want to look like a pig, most men want to date women who can eat & appreciate food.

Dating Tip #19

Do not have drinks before your date. Sure, you may want to have one drink before (to take the edge off) but going out for happy hour with your friends then meeting your date is a recipe for disaster.

Dating Tip #18
While you want to have your date on your turf you don’t want to take them to your local “cheers” where everyone knows your name, nobody wants to be bombarded like that on a first or even a second date & then they may also question how much time you spend there. You are better off going to a large chain type establishment that you frequent so you feel comfortable but since they always have a ton of staff & customers in there you are less likely for the whole bar to scream your name upon your arrival.
