Men chivalry isn’t completely dead. You can still open doors, pull out chairs and the like of which. She will be very appreciative. If she wants to be independent she will let you know.
Picking up the tab has always been one of those taboo subjects most men now find cliché but in all reality you are actually expected to pick up the tab from your evening out with your lovely date.
Have a great attitude will always get you farther then when you go into the date expecting her to start all the conversations. Imagine sitting there and neither of you say anything isn’t that one of those dates you would rather sneak out the back door from.
If you happen to run into friends or family while on one of your dates make sure you introduce them. If you don’t and you high tail it in the other direction she will immediately think you are embarrassed to introduce her to your friends and family. But be sure to make her or him the center of attention.
Mind your manners, please and thank you can go much further than being a jerk. Men find out beforehand if it is acceptable to order for you lady before you assume she doesn’t mind.
Technology needs to stay behind. Now unless you are in need of having your cell phone there is no reason to be looking at it every few minutes. This makes him or her think they aren’t engaging enough to keep your attention. This will be a deal breaker. If for some reason you send a text you will lose your date for good. By all means keep your phone in your glove box and check for the missed call when you get to the call. Don’t do it on the date.
