~Dating Etiquette 101~

It really doesn't matter if it's the first date or the 100 hundreth date.  It doesn't matter if it's a group date or just you and the honey...here are some rules that I've come up with in order to help you be alittle more engaging and p.c. in your date life-

Rule number 1- Be punctual
~No one wants to be waiting idle for you.  It's polite to be ready, or be on time for the pick up!  It gives the impression that you don't care if you're late.  It's also thoughtless.  If you know you're running late...call first, and SOON!

Rule number 2- Put the cell phone AWAY! 
~You're on a date and it's extremely rude to all parties involved if you're phone is ringing or buzzing every 5 minutes, if you're answering the phone, leaving every second to answer the phone, texting, checking emails, or playing games on your phone instead of participating in your date.  You just flat out suck!  Of course the only reasonable exclusion would be emergencies; but trust...unless you're President Obama and there is a nuclear bomb about to destroy the world as we know it, I'm sure it can be handled in a timely and polite manner.

Rule number 3- MEN: Be chivalrous, LADY: Let him!
~Have manners and allow a person to have manners and respect for you.  Nothing more attractive than seeing a lady and a gentleman together.

Rule number 4- Look into their eyes
~There's nothing worse than someone that can't look into your eyes when they speak.  It's like you have something to hide or you're really not into the date.  Don't act distracted or bored.

Rule number 5- (my personal pet peeve) No pretention
You're not a used car sales man...You're not selling yourself to the date!  Please don't wear medals, accolades, or references on your chest.  The Great you will indeed shine through, especially if you're pure and real!

*I can only handle 5 today!  More another time*
Happy Courting~
