Seven successful steps for dating
 

1) It is better to wait and know than to date and blow it
2) Do not look for the right one, be the right one and you will find the right one
3) How you get them is how you must keep them
4) Dating should be a delight, not a duty
5) What they are now is what they will always be
6) Every date is a possible mate
7) Postpone all possibilities unless parents are perfectly pleased.

1) It is better to date and blow it than wait and live with regret.

2) Don't look for the right one. That person doesn't exist. And you can't be the right one either, especially if you are a guy. Men are never right, you know.

3) How you get them is a mystery, especially if you are a guy.

4) Dating should be a delight, but it's not.

5) What they are now is what they will always be, unless they have some kind of operation, acquire super-powers, or die.

6) Every date is a potential disaster.

7) Don't date unless you are 23/older and can actually enjoy yourselves on an unchaperoned date.

who the fuck has chaperones on a date until they're 23?!

Awww....dating. My husband and I managed one whole date before I stayed the night like 7 nights in a row and he suggested I move in. It was a nice date. I chose everything so we went to a doco on Fellini at a nice old theatre and had coffee beforehand and sushi afterwards. He didn't pay for me anywhere because he was paranoid about me thinking he was pressuring me for sex and I thought it was because he wasn't interested in me. Dating is so confusing. After a few drinks at his house he said I don't really do this casual thing and I thought he was going to give me the thanks but no thanks thing but instead he asked if I wanted to go out with him. We were so nerdilicious.

those aren't steps.
thread does not deliver.

lol

what if your parent(s) are absolute creeps

wtf

people, man

dont like skin feeling

Also, this. I have no clue what this actually means or if it even makes sense.

5 and 7 are total bullshit

The whole paying for things is ludicrous. Some women expect it, some women think it's adding pressure.

So what I do is plan first dates to be simple and cheap. I will pay so that if it's cheap she doesn't feel obligated and it covers both types.

If she suggests we do something expensive during the date I expect her to split the bill

also if you date an orphan you are fucked

i met this girl last night who was wearing a two gallants shirt

turns out we are pretty much the same exact person and its creepy

i'm pretty into to her since i'm so narcissistic

Did you ask her if she had an account on Netphoria, the official Two Gallant board?

Yeah I know. All my relationships have been like that. The two before my husband ended really badly, the first after 18 months and the second after 4 years. My second ex and I had a joint bank account after we moved to Melbourne and lived together from the beginning, too. It's just how things happen for me.

This is a good plan. We only saw a movie and had coffee and sushi though, he could have easily paid for that and not put any pressure on me. At those prices it just gave me the message he didn't want to be any more than friends. I mean it worked out in the end, but you know. As long as your idea of cheap and her idea of cheap match up you know?

i take all of my first dates to golden corral and tell them they can have "whatever they like"
