…ON A DATE.

Well not just girls this time, but what guys do as well.

Do you know how hard it is for girls now?

Like way back when, if a guy came up to you to ask for your phone number, you said no and if he was being persistent, you could just give him the wrong number.

Then some Einstein spread the word and now they say right after getting it, “chill let me ring you up”. I used to steadily give out my mum’s phone number, don’t laugh. Now I’m stuck with a phone list of non-potential babes.

And what’s up with the words you say when you approach a chick? You won’t believe the words I have heard.

A few of my favourites

I wish I could grab a bunch of guys and give them a lecture on the things not to say/do to a girl for the first time or pretty much ever.

Like, it’s not cool to look at a girls body parts while you talk to her. Okay. Don’t be a Perv. Eyes up soldier.

Girls you too. You know trying to calculate if he has a 6 pack or 8 pack, is just as rude. He might have a big belly he’s tucking in, be considerate.

It’s not cool to make excessive body contact. Don’t paw over us, it’s creepy. When you meet, a handshake or a hug is fine but then the constant body tapping is wrong. Girls don’t hit his chest pretending your laughing but lowkey looking for muscles, please stop. He’s not that funny.

Try to compliment a girl on something other than her looks. A guy once mentioned my butt and that ended it for me. Done, flatline, love dead. Tell her she’s funny, she’s smart, she dresses well. Girls, just try to focus on the individual and not all the fancy trimmings because all that can vanish in an instant.

Do not try to initiate physical contact with someone you just met. DO NOT.

And some guys are so proud now. Like they’ll make you do all the work, why is that? You’re not that fine, bruv! And some girls are such divas, their face so strong, guys will be scared to talk to them. Smile a little.

When you go on a date, be a gentleman/lady. Guys, don’t expect the girl to pay, you asked her out, man up. Girls, don’t order everything on the menu, don’t be greedy. Have enough money to cover at least your half of the meal, just in case.

And please don’t spend half the time taking pictures of the food, it’ll get cold, and cold food is sad food.

Guys chilvary is not dead. Open doors, be polite, be nice that’ll sell you more than anything.

Girls,

don’t go on a date with a guy because he looks good, has a fancy phone and a car/job (they could be borrowed or lied about), is a friend of a friend, because you’re bored and tired of being single. Date someone you have things in common with, that you can actually learn from, that you actually like for legimate reasons.

Do not expect a man to float a lifestyle you cannot afford yourself. You need to earn it.

Don’t be cheap and look out for what you can get only. Love is give and take. It’s a two way street, love. Do not sell yourself for materials , you’re worth so much more.

Do not heap all your expectations on the guy. He’s only human.

Don’t talk about your ex, he’s just that, your ex. Next!

Well I ended up writing about dating etiquette, hope you find it useful.
