Dating Do’s and Don’ts for Singletons

By: Linx Dating (View Profile)

Through countless interactions with clients and many “insider” stories of date outcomes over the years, Linx Dating has compiled a list of fifty helpful tips to make your dating experience effortless. These tips are useful in allowing you to realize whether your actions help or hinder you in the dating game. These first twenty-five tips will ensure your date is a night to remember.

1. If you ask a woman out for a date, take the lead, be a gentleman, and plan. Don’t show up without a plan.

2.  Don’t show up for a date wearing torn jeans, cut off jeans, or a combination of the above with Tevas or Birkenstocks. Instead, put some thought into what you wear. First impressions are lasting impressions.

3.  If you are self-conscious about your body, then work out. Working out produces endorphins, which make you happy.

4.  If you had a bad day at work and you are simply in a negative mind space, you are probably better off not bringing your date down, so let him or her know you need to reschedule. Your date will appreciate your honesty.

5.  If you are balding, get a buzz cut—it’s sexy.

6.  Don’t EVER arrive to pick your date up and have a drink in the car. We aren’t talking water, we are talking about an alcoholic beverage. Can you say DUI?

7.  On the car theme, when you pick a lady up, make sure you have taken a few minutes to clean the inside of your car (i.e., throwing your excess papers in the trunk).

8.  When you see your date, please compliment her.

9.  When driving to dinner, don’t yell at other cars, blast the music, or mock homeless people. Your date will think that you are aggressive, hostile, and have a major anger-management issue.

10.  Gentlemen walk on the outside on the street, ladies away from the curb. Women like to feel protected.

11.  Gentlemen, please always open doors. This basic courtesy goes a very long way.

12.  Pre-date, turn that cell phone on silent or vibrate for the remainder of the evening. It is rude not to. If you really have to make a call or check a message (assuming it is work related) then excuse yourself and go to the restroom to do so in a nonchalant manner.

13.  Don’t drink too much at dinner—set a maximum, such as one or two drinks for the
night. Otherwise, your date might think you are a lush if you start slurring your words.

14.

This was hilarious... I especially want to emphasize thirteen(turn off the cell), because it drives me crazy when a date starts texting in the middle of dinner... Call me paranoid, but I somehow always think that the texts are about me! Number seventeen rings too as well, because I cannot stand someone who tries and impress me with money and materials... I'm not telling you to park the Bentley, but let me compliment you on it before you tell me the price. Finally, number eighteen(be courteous to waiter). I cannot stand anyone who is rude to waiters or staff. This is a top notch dating guide!
