“She told me she was dating another guy, but they weren’t totally serious — they were more like friends with benefits,” he recalls. His response to her confession? “I paid the tab and told her to call me if she ever dumped her so-called ‘friend,’” he recalls. Four weeks later, she did — and Bob and Jill began dating in earnest. “She later explained that she liked me so much, she didn’t want to lead me on during that first date,” he says. “In retrospect, I guess I can respect that.”

Wow. Well it's not exactly a fairly tale now is it.

This list seems like it was created by a sales guy at an online dating service.

In the absence of a smooch, look for other signs of attraction.

Heh...."Is that a Maglight in your pocket?"

[Young Werther]

Then there is the date who is baring gifts!

That's a GOOD SIGN!

[6SJ7]

The nervous date.

[central_va]

She has a gift?

[rbg81]

There’s no goodnight kiss If your date isn’t sealed with a kiss, it doesn’t always mean you’re getting the kiss-off.

Uh, yeah it does. There’s no way I’d ask a girl on a second date if there isn’t [at the very least] as kiss.

[Las Vegas Dave]

"Is that a single AAA battery Maglight in your pocket?"

You know at that moment it's going to be a lonely night!

[central_va]

Uh, yeah it does. There’s no way I’d ask a girl on a second date if there isn’t [at the very least] as kiss.

What is your both to drunk to kiss? Or stand up for that matter.

An hour-long debate on animal rights ensued. --------------------------------------------------------- If I got this treatment at dinner, I would seriously consider sneaking out and leaving her there to pay for my Ribeye steak.

[rbg81]

I drink, but I’ve never been drunk (or would dream of getting drunk) on the first date. If my date got that drunk, she’s probably a lush. No thanks.

One guy asked...”Do you kiss on the first date?” I replied, “Why are you asking?”....He said “Because I’m always nervous about ‘to kiss or not’ so once that is out of the way it’s smooth sailing from there on.”

He would have to wait...and did! HA!

[central_va]

Clearly, we went to different Universities.

[Caipirabob]

The first time I took my wife out, she really didn't speak English nearly as good as she does now. She surprised me when we were walking by a rowdy country-Western party at a brew-pub and said she wanted to go in and see what it was like. We had a blast and really seemed to enjoy everything. Of course folks were just fine with us as well. It was just something I didn't expect. Being that most of my family is of Southern decent, it was a good sign.

I remember that date clearly above all others, she was wearing a deep green white polka-dot dress that drove me crazy. The first thing I said when she opened the door was "Oh WOW..." : )

[Rebelbase]

“The next time you find yourself in a heated argument with a new date,”

If it’s a political argument and she sides with liberalism....NEXT!

[rbg81]

Oh, college? Those days are long (long) gone.

I will say that (back then) I got inebriated at some parties and left with girls to do .... whatever. But I never recall being incapacitated (in the case of the girls or myself). Also, not sure I would consider those encounters “dates”.

[kabumpo]

I had two Oriental shorthairs who looked so much like these cats....

[rbg81]

That’s fine. Never said those types of guys weren’t out there. Just saying that in my case, there would have been no second date.

[Global2010]

Here is a sure way to end the first date guys:

Don't take your date out to a place and dare her to do a Balloot shot our of a Champagne glass to see how adventurous she is.

A pro will know you have to get drunk and go into a dark closet with the Ballot in its natural wrapper to be able to accomplish this feat.

[kabumpo]

Speak English well, not good. Southern descent, not decent.

[caww]

. Just saying that in my case, there would have been no second date.

Exactly. There wouldn't have been if the issue was pushed.
