1) Dinner is the best first date. Pick a setting where you can talk and really get to know each other. 2) Don't forget to open all doors for her. Most women still like being treated like a lady, with respect. 3) Pay the bill. If she offers, refuse to accept on the first several dates. If you like her, you'll want her to see you are making an effort. 4) Order a bottle of wine. Women are always impressed if you know how to order wine. 5) Ask her questions to show interest. Don't just talk about yourself. 6)
Keep the first date light. Don't ask too many personal questions 7) Walk her to her car at the end of the date. 8) Call to make sure she got home okay if you've had a late night out. 9) Avoid cheesy lines - Don't say things like, "Wow, you are hot!" 10) Be prompt! 11) No curse words - Doesn't make a good first impression. 12) Don't overload on cologne or aftershave. 13) DON'T ANSWER YOUR CELL PHONE DURING THE FIRST DATE!

Have
you seen these recent "Birds and the Bees" facts...
Jupiter Media Metrix, reported that nearly 6 million people are using the Internet
to find that "someone
special". Men dominate personal sites (58.23 percent),
while women are attracted to romance-related websites,
such as those that
sell flowers and gifts or provide greetings.
Despite the downfall
of many dotcoms, love seems to have conquered all online. According to American
Demographics, 22 percent of
America's 98 million singles have tried online
dating and online personals have become the single-highest category of paid
content
for American consumers. U.S. consumers spent $214.3 million on Personals/Dating
content in the first half of 2003 alone.
According
to AARP, singles in their 40s, 50s and 60s typically tend to look for love in
the same places they probably did when they
were twenty: through friends,
family and the office. However, a recent survey showed 6 percent of singles
aged 40 to 69 are using
matchmaking Web sites.
