Agree? Disagree? All? Some? None? Outdated? Timeless?

When did those become "old" fashioned dating habits? People don't still do that? Are my ways that alienated? >.<

1. Why wouldn't they go to the door to pick them up? How do they do it now? lol call'em on their cell phone from the drive and tell'em that their ready?

2. Why wouldn't they dress special for the special occasion?

3. Giving some form of gift is always best as it leaves something behind to remind the person of the time they had or just bring them to mind when the person see's the gift.

4. "Dating" and "sex" have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Never thought things had to be so sexual, even dancing. Actually can't remember a time a woman ever "grinded" on me.

5. "Couples" or people dating, don't "hang out". Friend's do that, buddies, not couples.

6. Yeah I've learned in the past couple years that when people start "dating" it isn't considered "going steady". Never realized till the last couple years people will date this person for a bit, then that person, then this other person, maybe back to the first for a bit, ect.

7. Goes with number 3, leaves something special behind in their absence to bring memories to mind.

8. People don't turn off the lights to sit in the dark with one another or dim the lights anymore?

9. If it ain't yours of course you'd ask permission to use it, kinda common sense.

10. Sex shouldn't ever be in the question. People shouldn't have sex just because they are "horny", because then it's basically only about the physical aspect of it. What ever happen'ed to "making love"?

lol sorry, this just struck me funny this morning as I am/was truly oblivious to the things mentioned rofl and just thought I'd share cause I thought it was funny on that level lol.

I agree and it's timeless. I remember all that stopped being cool around the early in the early 90's. Now what's cool? Strippers, pornstars, drugs, being gay...etc... things of that nature. That traditional stuff is not cool anymore.

I totally agree with all of them.

Thanks for posting it

Problem with the world in this area, is commitment has gone out the window. And it's all about a selfish outlook on it all, what they can gain for themselves for the moment. With commitment out the window people only focus on the here and now and what is pleasing at the moment without thoughts of the repercussions that will come of the action.

I agree with everything but bringing flowers on the first date...I feel that should come later when both people realize they want to see more of each other...

Plus, WAY TO GO COWBOY!!! ...When did these things become old fashioned?

Yeah bringing flowers on the first date might seem a bit systematical. Like a buttering up for hopes of something later that evening. As it wouldn't be a token of their emotion as their would essentially be none as of the first date. And don't know when they became old fashioned lol, doesn't make sense for them not to happen any longer. But as my post before this one, they don't care about bringing the flowers, ect as they are only focused on that date and that date only. Not thinking about or caring to further it into another or anything more in the future once the night is over. It's sickening and the main reason I have been single for so long as I won't simulate to the world in this area, my standards are to high for that lol.

Id also like to add the simple phrase 'Thank You'...
Feeling unappreciated or taken for granted stinks and can breed negativity in any kind of relationship..

As long as I can remember, I have made a point to say 'Thank you... I appreciate'... and the like. I always will, no matter what 'relationship'.

((((((Cowboy))))))...Sad to hear that about being single, you are kinda like the Brad Pitt of dating sites ....Smart, handsome, nice..Plus, you nailed it on the flower issue....

I would be happy with just a..
. rotary dial phone. with the headset attached to the phone. buy a cord.
no caller ID.. and hoping it is my date who is calling ...lol.. you want to talk about nervous anticipation..lol..
.
#1.. women don't want men they have just met online coming to their homes..
.#2.. nobody really puts on suit and tie.. to go on a date.. anymore...
.. because simply all restaurants are casual.... you would be a little overdressed... but you should always look nice though... showered shaved clean clothes....
.#3. I'm buying you dinner and you want me to bring you flowers too..omg.. we are just meeting.. what happens if I don't like you... this could get expensive..lol..
#4.. yes dancing.. let me show you right off the bat... how little rhythm and timing.. not to mention lack of coordination... I have on the first date..
. so smexy...lol
.. I don't have enough time to finish I'll get back to this later...lol..

Excellent point. Meeting a stranger for the first time, you should meet in a public place.

Very good point

AGREE,,, I REALY DO NOT SEE A LOT OF WOMEN CLAIMING THERE POWER---WE ARE SO DIFFERENT

PHYSICALLY ( HORMONES ETC ) AND EMOTIONALLY YET I SEE SO MANY THAT DO NOT TRY TO

UNDERSTAND THOSE DIFFERENCES--IT STARTS WITH US FIRST WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OUR OWN

FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS (''THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP WE WILL EVER HAVE IS WITH

OURSELVES'')---YES VALUES LIKE OLD SCHOOL ARE IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS FAIR AND

NOBODY GETS HURT---AND TO MAKE THE GUY IMPRINT ON GIRL NOT THE SEX---

8) turning off electronics


this should be an inherent behavior (not even a "courtesy") just an innate M.O., in even dealing with your most familiar.......much less (or more) when trying to impress someone as important to you!

#3 yes, yes, yes ..

Exactly and I agree 100 %. Relationships are not placed in the "highest value" column anymore as they once used to be. Give me "old fashioned" anytime!

No, I just meant that it's cool now to be gay. I mean times have changed. I'm not against gay rights.

1. Said it before, but first date, unless you've known that person previously, you should be meeting in a public place. After that and she feels comfortable enough, then yes, I always pick her up.

2. I don't wear suits and ties, but I do wear nice clothes and clean myself up.

3. Flowers are boring and predictable, I never bring flowers on a first date, but if the relationship seems to be going somewhere I do bring her something I've learned that she would like from our previous conversations. With my current girlfriend who is an artist, I brought gave her my own art I made for her, and still do.

4. Yeesh. I hate dancing. Fortunately my girlfriend hates it too, so neither of us have to worry about it.

5. I've always asked a lady out on a date, and let her know I'm asking as a date and not a hang out.

6. When it gets to that point yes, communication is key. Nothing should ever be assumed.

7. See 3, plus when we were still long distance my current girlfriend and I wrote handwritten letters to each other.

8. Yes definitely, but this should be true for all relationships including regular friends. Nothing more annoying than trying to have a conversation with someone face to face and they take a call or text in the middle of it.

9. I would hope this is common sense, sadly it's probably not with some.

10. I never assume anything.
