- Do not let more than 1 day go by without contacting her
- Be on time
- Open her car door
- Help her put her coat on
- Hold the door for her to enter/leave an establishment first
- Pull her chair out for her in the restaurant
- Order for her (Note – this does not mean tell her what she’s going to have for dinner. Have a conversation about what she wants and then when the waiter comes, order for her.)
- At the end of your date, don’t drive off until she’s safely inside

Yeah no, no ordering for this girl. I can do it on my own.
IF A GUY ORDERED FOR ME I’D BE PISSED. DON’T DO THAT. NOT THAT I EVEN GO ON DATES.
It’s amazing how much of this would be considered creepy nowadays. :/
One thing I don’t understand is why guys place the importance on “The Date”. Why not do this all the time? I think men...
