I have a date tomorrow night!!! Any last minute advice?
It's been a few months since my last date, and I'm really excited about this one. She's very pretty, really smart, and above all a solid Democrat.

Anyone have any last minute dating advice for me? I've been out of the game for awhile.

7. just be yourself...
i had so many dates where "they" were out to impress or overwhelm me with this, that or the other thing...

and "i" was out to do the very same thing.

only to learn of the real persons we both were much later. uggg...




save yourself a lot of time and emotional grief. don't be anything other than who you are.

(unless you are just trying to get laid. then disregard all of my advise.)


if you are nice, be nice. if you are an asshole, be an asshole. if you are a mix, be a mix.

simple...

16. I'm moving my reply to "second" yours. I said "Don't put off the inevitable...
Be yourself!"

8. Don't shower, so she can smell your pheromones.
Sure, you'll think you smell like BO, sweatsocks, lockerroom and sick old people all at once, but to a woman, that scent says "fuck me now!"

Also, you should put some sunless tanner on and rub extra into dry spots like your elbows.

Oh, and your hair: now is the perfect time to completely change your hairstyle, and try out a barber shop you've never used before. If you aren't happy with it, you can just put a shit-ton of product in it, until it's really crispy and shiny. Chicks dig that.

And in case you score: underpants with cartoons on them. :P

10. I always wear my scooby-doos.
They're lucky since I hit that inside-the-park HR in little league; I haven't washed them since.

24. The cartoon underpants thing is a gentle dig at flvegan
and his (now lucky) spongebob boxer shorts.

He may be forced to kill me.

21. You are truly evil

9. Listen.
Show you've been paying attention. Show some thought. Be different.

I've got a hot date coming up; I know she likes Tootsie pops and dislikes flowers. I made a candy bouquet of a dozen cherry tootsie pops on long-stems made out of green straws and wrapped in the wax paper and the whole nine yards. I hope she'll be impressed.

14. Be polite and considerate
Tell her she's pretty. But in a nice way- as in "What a lovely dress, really suits you" rather than "Great tits! Lets go for it!"

Treat her like a lady.

Khash.

17. The great t!ts! line has worked before
Just Sayin'. It really depends what you're both looking for.

In any case, they're both more effective than my roommate who used to get rid of unwanted attention with "You have a pretty skull, can I have it?"

22. when she lets you see them
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 11:06 PM by harmonicon
I've complimented women on their breasts before, but it's always been after they've taken their clothes off in front of me, and are ok with that.

edited to add: or while you're both waiting in line at the post office, and she's a total stranger.

23. Over Jello pudding cups.
That way if there is an awkward silence you can say "So...good pudding, huh?"

26. In bed.
Don't say anything otherwise. You can look and she can see you looking (maybe she wants you to look). But wait. You can tell her how great breasts are, or better yet show her.

Don't ask me, my best come on line is "Wanna fuck?"

29. Talk about yourself all night and don't let her get a word in...
Women love to hear about the man they are dating.

31. Two pieces of advice.
1.) Don't let her do ALL the talking. Make sure you do about a third of it - spend more time listening than talking, but talk enough to the point where she can at least get the impression that you're not just smiling and nodding to get in her pants. Remember also, she'll tell her girlfriends about the date, so you've got to give her something to pass on. If she does all the talking and has nothing to report, she'll lose interest pretty quickly.

2.) Best way to put yourself at ease and increase the chances she'll like you: pretend she already DOES like you. This, by the way, is the best piece of dating advice you'll ever receive.

Good luck, and make sure to give us a full report. Her girlfriends aren't the only ones entitled to hear about this. ;)

35. Hard to Say for first date but
be yourself, make great conversation and if you like her, be kind of flirty and see how she responds. Let us know how it goes !! Have fun.

37. Thinking of it as a game
You've already killed it. Don't bother.

Is she a person, or just a game?
