Ok Cyn has entered the dating world, what a weird thing to be doing at 46. But I'm not so far gone that I can't impart a couple tips for you guys out there.

DON'T smile at me if you've not yet learned that the dentist CAN be your friend.

DON'T think that because facial hair is ok, that nose hair is too.

DON'T tell me you're a "social drinker" then proceed to order a margarita at lunch.

DON'T tell me that your divorced and (a) your wife is a bitch - it does take two people to break a marriage (b) you try to see your son as much as possible, but he really doesn't want to see you - don't you think that makes me wonder why?

DON'T tell me how grateful you are that I accepted your invitation (5x or more). That's not going to make me go out with you again, it will however make me pity you.

DON'T tell me you like country music, but don't know who Garth Brooks or Tim McGraw are.

DO tell the waitress thank you occasionally at least, after all it is only common courtesy, and didn't your mother raise you with ANY manners?

DO let me follow the person to seat us to the table - I don't believe in women's lib that much.

DO keep your mustache and beard groomed! It's not attractive to look at a beard that makes me think your grandma took the chain saw to it.

DO rememember that cleanliness is next to godliness, or something like that. Eating with dirty hands is a NO NO.

DO try to remember where my eyes are - and NO they are not S of my neck!

This should be a good start. Please contribute what you can. After all, I'm in this to learn too.

Cyn

Always compliment.

Bring a flower or something small just to show you were thinking.

Dead air = not good. Keep talking.

LISTEN.

Talking about an Ex-Girlfriend or Ex-Wife is a huge no no.

Make eye contact when talking. Dont stare, but make sure they know you are talking to them and not the food.

Here's a list that you might consider:

1. You're never too old to date.

2. DON'T go into a date with perfect standards of men/women. It is the pitfall of every man/woman on the planet. By judging people on such standards will envitably keeping you single for the rest of your life.

3. DO make sure that you show a true representative of yourself on the date. Portraying someone that you're not is just a bad way to start a relationship.

4. DON'T agree to a second date if you have a bad feeling about the person. Subconciously you're probably right about him/her.

5. DO make sure you try to enjoy yourself.

6. If you're re-entering the dating realm, make sure to have a few friends as a support group. They'll be there to give you hints, critique your potential dates, and buy you drinks when you're alone and depressed.

7. When you find someone you like, always be sure to be honest your him/her and yourself. As Cyn said a relationship is made up of two people not one.

Best of luck you Cyn~

How about DON'T blow your nose at the dining table.

Don't compare your date to your last date/significant other.

Don't spend more than 8 minutes at a time talking about yourself.

Don't take a phone call while on a date.

Don't take a phone call from your ex while on a date.

Don't drink more than 1 alcoholic beverage on a first date.

If you get up to go to the bathroom, order a fresh drink when you get back.

Don't wear a plaid suit.

Don't wear underwear so tight you have very visable lines showing through your clothes.

Do wear clean socks.

Don't get right up in your date's face.

Do use a tic tac.

Always carry mace and/or a stun gun/cattle prod(for dates like Xiona)

DON'T pretend to like something you don't like - or else you'll be pretending every time you see that person. Although this is a non-dating example - once my aunt made this disgusting onion salad dressing and I pretended like I loved it. Well, guess what she loves to make me now?

Believe me, at this point in my life I won't be pretending to be something I'm not. If they can't accept me for who I am - I don't need them. As a matter of fact - two statements I make on my first date:

"I will never get married again"

"I play an online game that takes up alot of time, furthermore Wed & Sun evening outings are a no no"

Cyn
