Dating Tip #8: F Stands For First Date.

[8]

If your mother never told you not to put out on the first date, it looks to me like you were missing out on some crucial advice. Whether you're a guy or a girl, making a move on your first night out is pretty much taboo, despite how well you get along with each other, or how great of a night the two of you had. The F is meant to be saved... for a later date. I'm a sucker for a code of honor. Cheesy, I know, but there's no better way to classify it. There is a time and a place for taking your date to the next level, and if that time is two dates in (place, his bedroom), your prospective relationship will last just about as long as the flavor of a Trident stick of gum. Ladies, if he's after an easy lay, he'd be able to find one somewhere else; this I promise you. Don't sacrifice the respectable qualities you should be hoping to portray. Guys? It's just in bad taste expecting anything beyond a kiss on your first date. If she's a keeper (despite the physical discomfort you may be feeling towards the end of the night), she won't put out. Unfortunately, there's no getting around sounding like the Virgin Mary when broaching this portion of dating etiquette, but a goal of your date is keeping it classy, all the way, and whipping out the big F at the very beginning is just a complete defiance of getting to know each other (what dating is actually all about).
