1. Open doors. It never hurts to be a gentleman.
2. Gifts don’t suck. No woman is going to stab you in the face for bringing her gift.
3. A fun date is always better than a fancy date.
4. You don’t need to wait three days to call.
5. Ask her about herself.
6. Play it cool. Don’t freak yourself out and start asking her if she’s having fun or if her dinner is good 80 times in an hour.
7. Bring condoms, but don’t be presumptuous.
8. Be straight with her
9. Never send an unsolicited dirty pic.
10. Don’t talk about exes.
