LOL well in answer to one qwestion Men do still pay. Ok my one rule for dateing is just try and have fun getting to know him. And just have fun in general.. I guess my answer to when should you leave is when it just simply dose not feel right. Anyways just go with the flow.  |

You can try to come up with some questions that will give your some insight into the person that you're out with. If conversation lags, you can ask where he imagines himself in 5 years? If he talks at all about his job you can talk about that. My experience is that it's easy to get someone to talk about themselves and it also give you insight about them. After the first date give yourself some time to think about the person. You might meet him at a restrauant so if it goes badly he doens't have your phone number or address. If you're not interested I think that it's best to let him down sooner rather than later.  |

Interview the man like he is applying for a job to spend a large quantity of time with you. If he doesn't meet your criteria let him know he is not qualified. LOL  |

i don't think there are any hard fast dating "rules" you just gotta go with it... who pays... is usually dependant on the person sometimes it's who asks for the date pays sometimes it's a mutual pay for your own...what to talk about... try not to dive into topics that are negitives(bad homelife, family issues, personal issues, past issues childhood issues-pretty much if it's a issues thing it's pretty much stay away from it lol ) and try not to jump onto a topic that you are obsessed with(honestly for you if you get on the topic of music KEEP IT LIGHT don't start going into this half hour speel about the music industry and wher eyou think it's going and the ins and outs of it.. i know sometimes for you it can be easy to get carried away) it's good to have passions but try not to have it look like your obsessed over your passions  |

Personally I don't believe a man should always pay. I would never go into something expecting the man to pay. Always be prepared and ALWAYS offer to pay your half or some as a nice gesture. I think if the woman asked the man out she should pay and visa versa...but honestly the other should always offer and just not expect. But again thats just me. As for talking, just go with the flow of things. Things you are actually curious to know about him without getting to nosy. lol Good luck.  |

Well, I've done internet dating for about two years, and I've acquired a few safety rules that I always follow. Let me share the top three with you: 1) Meet in a public place. A well-lighted restaurant is best. 2) Keep the conversation light, and don't reveal too much about your family. Not only is it safer to do so, if he turns out to be Mr. Wrong, he can't stalk you. 3) Most men still pay (I do) but many women insist on paying their part--that way they don't feel they "owe" the guy anything.  |

Thanks guys. Well if someone paid I wouldnt feel I owed him crap. Even if he was Mr. Dreamy and didnt bore me hes not getting anything JUST because he bought me Pinkberry. Women are odd to me sometimes that way :S.
As for online stuff yeah I know all the safety rules; I've done online stuff (though not dating) for years. Im still not sure bout all of this but thanks guys   |

when meeting these people i really suggest doing the ice cream or coffee route... something that if it doesn't work out you can end it after 20-30 minutes and get on with your day.. your not trapped with them for 1-2hrs having a meal or a movie.. and heck if they don't pay your only out $5-$10 for whatever small item you have(not an expensive meal date) |

I say make him pay cause a broke man sucks. I have dated one and like I said they just plain out suck. Oh and if conversations are your problem just kiss him, it solves everything rofl.  |

Proper etiquette dictates that whoever ASKS is the person who PAYS. So if you ask him out you pay.  |
