- Treating me as if you like me is my big thing. I dislike feeling like the date is some kind of test with a professor that I am supposed to "pass" or as if I am a shoe you are trying on to see how you like the fit. This is why I always tell people, if you are not sure about liking me, let's just skip the date and be friends.
- I prefer to be embraced, both physically and emotionally. I feel awkward when there is no touching aside from a handshake. I understand that it takes some people a while to warm up to a hug, so I will be understanding.
- I promise to be entertaining if you promise to keep the phone to a minimum. I allow a certain amount of phone fondling before I assume you are not interested in my company and I grab my purse to go.
- Be honest with me about what you are looking for, what you came on the date with me for. Don't sell me some dream, or give me some canned line.
- Take me wherever you can afford, but it has to be the right "date night" atmosphere.
- I will always be well groomed for dates, but I am not the type to notice your haircut, car, fashion right off the bat. Someone wore basketball shorts on a date with me and we were running our mouths and laughing all night so I didn't notice til later. But appropriate dress is always prefered.
