OK I’ve got a few for you:

1)Don’t incessantly talk about your ex and about what a jerk she/he was or how you miss drinking pina coladas together etc.
2)Next, don’t tell them you just became a born again Christian and have decided to start abstaining from sex until you get married.
3)OK, had to add this one – DO NOT wear black sneakers and acid washed jeans (I guess unless you’re from Rockland County or Long Island)

I kid you not, all 3 of these things happened to me on dates.

Thanks, Jill ! I’ve definitely done the ‘Fake Reach’ move several times, knowing if they actually LET me pay, I’d never see them again.

Seriously though, men need to be in Courting Mode the first few dates….it shows they think more of you than just a fling.

One date tried to feel me up at the table after he’d had one too many drinks. What an ass!

And I like the ‘Fake Wallet Reach’ deal…very funny!!

Jackie – Do you think it would make a difference if someone gave them feedback as to what they were doing wrong? Maybe nobody’s ever told them it wasn’t okay….
