Couples, your rules?

February 16 2011

I stand up at the dinner table when my date excuses herself to use the ladies room...I hold doors...I know which side of a lady to walk on while traveling down the street. However, I am curious to know what the rules are when meeting couples. I aim to be polite-yet-slightly deviant, then just see how the night might flow. Couples? What are your rules for a single guy? Happy dating - Justin

    Well the first and perhaps most crucial rule is to TURN UP and be ONTIME, that is always a good start.From there be well presented, and this (for us) does not mean suit or business clothes etc, but means don't come dressed like a yobbo, and please be clean with no bad breath (yes, some people overlook this)If you do that then the next thing is to ensure that you have been honest prior to the meeting (ie. not claimed to be single yet have wedding band, not be different to profile characteristics etc) as any lies will generally immediately put us on thE back foot and leave little chance of anything happening. For us, any lies means the question is what else is BS.From there it is be yourself, do not be intimidated by the couple and do not be intimidating to the couple (ie. do not turn up full of yourself expecting sex), and very importantly do not seem desperate or arrogant and make the couple feel uncomfortable (just as they should not you). If you are yourself, and have been truthful in your profile (as they should have been as well) then it becomes all about connection and only frank open conversation can really see if you are for the other.We will not sugar coat it but we have met a number of pure BS'ers (singles/couples) so we now always attend social meets (not drinks nights but one on one) expecting the worst and of late have been extremely pleasantly surprised by the efforts of a few guys.In short, don't lie, don't be pretentious, don't be arrogant, don't be conceited, do not expect the world,never forget to check your breath, but do be honest, truthful,yourself and have made an effort to at least be presentable and if you have an open mind, who knows what may follow.Shell and Gaz

    Shebagazz pretty well sums it up. We would like to add several more hints on personal grooming.Fingers, make sure they are trimmed and no rough edges. Dirty nails are a big turn off.Ears, give them a good clean out and trim the hairs if you look like the Wolfman.Don't be shy to say "I would like to take a shower" a good host should be able to provide clean towels if not at a hotel.Gargle just as you turn up, nothing worse than bad breath especially if you are trying to hide you're a smoker.Go with the flow of the setting. If you have been invited to a house or hotel, be respectful of the hosts. Hopefully any rules have been previously explained and don't be shy to ask during the meet. Sadly so many guys get it wrong and it all starts from the first message :(Lastly, be a gentleman unless told otherwise. Lustful2011 x
