yea that seems quite right, at least everything you wrote seem honest to me. Very interesting indeed, but I still think we should follow our instinct or just be ourselves in everything we do and with everyone. In love, I believe sharing and not being afraid or "hurting" someone by telling her or him the truth, is the right think to do. But i am maybe too romantic or full of hope :-)
Anyway thanks for the tips!

Thanks for posting some good advice, Gerald.

If anyone's looking for some bad advice (at least, that's what Bill sez... ha!), check out this group on MIX.

This is interesting. What do you consider "success" in dating?

Getting into a relationship?
Dating a lot of people?
Having a lot of sex?

Good Job there, Gerald

Hmm so let me see if I can help with the last 3:

6) Establish as early as possible that you care about the other person less than they care about you. Then demand that they do things for you without reciprocating and then behave in ways that implicitly suggest that that's normal.
7) Make statements that refer to the morals, ethics, or opinions of a generalized group of people in such a way to imply you’re an authority on that groups' moral, ethics, and opinions. Such as: "if you wear that to the party people are gonna think something’s wrong with you", "No one says that anymore", or "you know, most women still prefer that their boyfriend opens the door". And If they try that on you immediately deny their claim to authority on the matter - "how the heck do you know what the people at the party think!? You don’t know jack about it!"
8) Refer to attractive people of the opposite gender (assuming yer straight) in such a way so as to suggest they are attracted to you. Do so subtly as first, then decrease the amount oh subtlety till your date actually starts to get a little jealous. Then assure them you’re with them and those other hoe bags/studs don’t have a chance. This way their perceived value of you goes up, up, up.

---

(Just in case you can’t tell, that was a parody. When you go on dates, be yourself, be nice, don’t let the other person disrespect you, respect them, don’t be stupid, and have fun! is what I really think)

The ones I agree most is 5 and 3. Nothing wrong about them. But if you don't mind I would like to comment your other 3 suggestions.

1. Even though it is good to forget your past relationships it is crucial to keep them in mind. You do not want to make the same mistakes you did. And also if you are a guy (my case) you would be surprised how much interest you can raise in a girl if you talk about past relationships.

2. We are equal. Be selfish if you need to. Honesty is incredible and when they see you "giving feelings" they will be overwhelmed. We are talking about impressing :)

4. I will not argue about being yourself. But I will say that it is incredibly important to not show yourself fully. Especialy your weaknesses. No matter what.

Boom.

I've never went dating, because I am never daring enough to ask the girl out. LOL, I'm screwed.

Anyway, good tips. Can we have a more in-depth kinda tips? Like, the process of asking the girl out, then tips on what are the recommended things to do on a date thereafter. And, most importantly, tips for timid people like me, on how to ask a girl out =/ Haha.

Best thing you can do is don't ever..... EVER... use lines. That shit is whack. It's better to just be yourself and introduce yourself, ask them their name, and let them know that you are interested in getting to know them or taking them out. You don't have to say, "Aww girl, you lookin' good, wassup on getting together for a little somethin' somethin?" If you approach women with respect, most will at least dismiss you with respect if they are not interested.

And don't get discouraged if you get rejected now and again, it will happen at some point in your life. It doesn't mean you are worthless or not worth their time, they just may not be interested in you the way you are in them. Such is life!
