Things you should NEVER do.

Here is a list of things you should never ever do while dating (or even in a relationship):

1. Repeatedly call/Email/Text someone that you think has not responded to your last message.   You get one original contact and at best are allowed one follow up with a different method to ensure that their phone/pc was working, but that's it.   There is one exception.  If you are a woman and are sending naked pictures, than that is OK. (Note, don't do this if you are under 18 - it is illegal, you will get caught, and you will regret it.)  Men and women do this.  Men when the relationship doesn't exist, women during it.
2. A guy should never send naked pictures to a woman unless she has literally said "send me a picture of your cock."  Even then, she is probably going to laugh at it (unless she has already sent you nude pictures of herself).   I don't care if you are a mix of Tom Cruise and Robert Redford.  It doesn't matter if your penis is a thing of beauty that all women bow down to and praise.   I don't even care if she sent you naked pictures first (and did not request them back).  If she didn't ask for them, don't send them.  If the guy sending the photo is under 18, be assured those pictures will end up on homosexual wank sites.  There is a good chance it will even if he is over 18.
3. Date while drunk.  Getting drunk is what you do to survive not dating.  Dating while 'buzzed' is OK, but not while drunk.  But only if you are there in person.
4. Make any call to anyone you want to date after you have had a few drinks.  This is another movie stereotype bad move.
5. Be upset when your guy/gal is attracted someone besides you.   There is a word for men that don't enjoy looking at pretty women:  gay.  Same thing goes for women (and similarly, if your lesbian girl friend doesn't look at other women, then she is straight.)   Actually I left out the word "Asexual" which also may apply in any of the cases.   Basically, if you want someone that is attracted to you, then they will be attracted to other people.  Grow up and deal with it.
6. Similarly, if you want to date an attractive person, then other people will be attracted to them. Don't complain when other people hit on your very attractive date.  If you don't like it, date a less attractive person.  Note, this is one of the reasons why pretty women will sometimes date ugly men - but it doesn't work unless the men are short.  Women don't care as much about beauty, but do care about height - and that goes for other women as well as you.
7. As a guy, never give a girl your phone number/card and expect her to call.  Always get hers.  She will not call you no matter how much she likes you.  Women want to be pursued, they don't want to pursue you.  Actually, there are a very few men so incredibly in demand that this rule does not apply.  Think Wilt Chamberlain. But if you are one of them, then you have no problems getting dates, won't be reading this website, and married or/and (note the "and" their ladies), having so much sex with so many different women that you should be taking anti-HIV medication every day to prevent  getting AIDS rather than to treat the disease.
8. Expect your date to figure out something.  If you want them to know, tell them.  Otherwise, don't complain.  When people say 'communication is key to a relationship', that is what they mean.
