Dating Advice?

Yep. I miss him being around here. No one made me laugh like him.

 

RTE has a bit of "Not" in him. That divorce he took us through was agonizing.

Hopefully this turns out better for RTE.

 

Dress well.

Smell good but don't have too strong a scent.

Listen well.

Ask a lot of questions about her — what she likes, what she's interested in, etc.

Pick up the check.

Tip well, but not flamboyantly.

Be confident. She already likes you.

Enjoy each other and for God sakes man, don't waste a minute wondering What It All Means.

If there's something there, it will become clear in subsequent dates.

And bring a condom - better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

 

Dress well but don't go through a makeover. Stay consistent to what you wore when you first met.

 

Tell her about the time Tron offered to manually stimulate his stepmother's bulldog.

 

This thread is fantastic. That is all.

 

If he ever gets to the point where he gives her the ol' one gun salute, while in the perfunctory cuddle part of the show, he should grab his laptop and show her this thread.

 

Spill something on her. Then volunteer your place so she can clean up.

 

Post updates on here during the date. I'm sure she'll be impressed.

 

Hell, we'll even give advice to you (or her) while on the date.

 

Man, a handwritten note? "That's gold Jerry."

Whatever, just be yourself. Don't change from the guy she met that night. Smile the same way, talk the same way, dress the same way.

But, do not under any circumstances fawn over her and smother her. You'll drive her away. (This from a guy who proposed to his wife of 15 years after 3 weeks, then got married 8 mos. later (no she did not have one in the oven!)).

 

We could just put a f*cking teleprompter on her forehead. She likes him. She'll understand.

Good luck, RTE. And don't do the shitty list thing.
