How To Treat A Woman On A Date: The Basics

  1. Do not let more than 1 day go by without contacting her
  2. Be on time
  3. Open her car door
  4. Help her put her coat on
  5. Hold the door for her to enter/leave an establishment first
  6. Pull her chair out for her in the restaurant
  7. Order for her (Note – this does not mean tell her what she’s going to have for dinner. Have a conversation about what she wants and then when the waiter comes, order for her.)
  8. At the end of your date, don’t drive off until she’s safely inside

Sa lahat ng ka-OA-han!

Let’s dissect it, shall we?

1. Do not let more than 1 day go by without contacting her

What 1 day? Before or after?

2. Be on time

Traffic???!

3. Open her car door

Oops, I don’t have a car, neither does she.

4. Help her put her coat on

What? She has coat. It’s so hot in here!

5. Hold the door for her to enter/leave an establishment first

Uyyy, gentledog!

6. Pull her chair out for her in the restaurant

What if she sits back, and I won’t push the chair back in? Disaster!

7. Order for her

Now this is the part that I like. No matter what happens, I’m sticking to my budget. LOL!

At the end of your date, don’t drive off until she’s safely inside

I don’t have a car, you idiot! I may take a cab, but before I can get one, she may already be sleeping!
