1) Don't lie. Never lie. NEVER. Its OK for one night. You lie thru
your teeth to be interesting. Great ! You get the second date. Now you
have to be consistent with all the lies you told on your first date.
Tricky. Five dates later you have to revise for two days before each
date.
2) Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Your date might like this
other person. She'll call this other person, she'll come to see this
other person, she might even sleep with this other person. But when
she says F*** YOU, she'll be saying it to you not the other person.
3) Never surprise your date with a movie, meal etc on the first date.
Not until you've got some vague idea of her likes and dislikes.
Putting a poor unsuspecting girl thru 'Meatslayer And The Wartoids
From The Planet SoftPorn' is not a good idea.
4) A sense of humour (refined if possible) is your best ally. Women
like someone that makes them laugh.
5) Clean nails. VITAL.
6) Don't lie to anyone else about the date and what happened. It
always goes horribly wrong.
ADVANCED TIPS:
7) Never take your pants off before your socks.
8) Roll over, go to sleep. WRONG. Cuddle, kiss, roll over, go to
sleep. RIGHT.
Practice makes slightly better, but never perfect.
You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince(ss).
Good Luck!
