December Dating Do's and Don'ts

1. Answering your cell phone several times during a date is inappropriate.  If you need to answer you phone, the polite thing to do is tell your date that you will need to do this at the beginning of the date so he or she doesn’t take it personally.

2. If you are in a bad mood, you are better off canceling the date.

3. If you are rude to wait-staff, your date will think it’s just a matter of time before you are equally rude to them.

4. If there’s ever a lull in the conversation, go with a compliment. People love to be complimented.

5. Be wary of someone who immediately calls you their soul-mate, who comes on like a bulldozer, who makes jokes about the two of you moving in together immediately or who wants you to meet their mother before you have slept together. This is usually a recipe for a crash and burn situation.

6. Just because a guy is tall and gorgeous does not mean he has a large penis.

7. If you kiss a little ass, you can always get a second chance with someone if you really want it.

8. When a guy decides to stop seeing you, it is never because of one little thing that you did (its never because the outfit that you were wearing made you look fatter than usual or because you had bad breath for an hour), it is because of something more substantial and something that the guy has been thinking about for awhile.

9. A makeover can do wonders for someone’s self esteem.

10. Botox is not very painful, not all that expensive and supposedly risk free. If you have lots of wrinkles, try it, it will make you look much younger.

11. Contact lenses will make a huge difference for a girl who has always worn glasses.

12. Men who act weak, snivel and don’t work are not attractive to women.

13. Using a pretense to ask a woman out on a date is a turn off.  Be a man, just ask her out.

14. Height requirements might be stopping you from meeting your guy. What would be so bad if your Prince Charming was 5’8?

15. Where a person grew up should be irrelevant to you as long the person is not insisting that you live there or go there on a regular basis.

16. It is a mistake to commit to an activity outside of your home town that takes up a lot of time, because that time becomes time away from the place you should be meeting your mate.

17. If you spend all your time hanging out with married people, you are unlikely to find a person to marry yourself.

18. Do not get lured into a bad relationship, by presents, trips and empty sentiment. Actions speak louder than words.

19. Valentine’s Day is a holiday full of expectations.  If you expect less, you will get more.

20. Serial monogamists can be worse than players because they will lead you on by getting into a real relationship with you only to break up with you because they have a fear of commitment.
