First Date: Do's & Dont's (Flowers?) (1 Viewer)

OH MY GOD HE'S ALIVE!!!!!! You should head on over to Blu's thread and share some words of wisdom, man

I'm 23 and ALWAYS open the door for my girlfriend of 4.5 years. It's hilarious sometimes to see other peoples reactions.
Once, on leaving a restaurant we hit my car at the same time as another young 'stressed' looking couple. Seems like the guy had a good time but the girl couldn't wait to get out. He saw me open the door, winced, and RAN around to the girls side as she said "no no... please don't... uhhh."
It's true that this behaviour is lost on the younger people. But, all the better for me to impress my lady.

Yes, it probably would have.

Don't sweat these kinds of details. If someone likes someone else, they'll forgive small inconveniences or blunders. Forget that AskMen crap and advice columns and such- either people like each other or they don't.

The woman writing to AskMen in that column rejected guys who she claims she was attracted to simply because of minor "infractions" like bringing up an ex. Big freakin' deal. She sounds like what I call a "dating athlete," someone who does it for the sport. I don't think most guys want that (nor do girls want guys like that). I would think most of us date to find companionship.

I just started seeing someone and I'm sure I made plenty of mistakes that The Doc would slam me for. I'm sure she did, too. So what? We're not pros, we're just normal imperfect people. She said it better than I (or AskMen) ever could: "Sometimes you just feel open to people."

I wouldn't have brought flowers either, but she likes you, dude, and she wouldn't care so much if you did. You don't need them, stop worrying about them.

We (or I) would bring flowers as well and hand them to the lady--and a bottle of wine for the man.
