In all seriousness, good luck out there. May you have better luck wherever you are than I could ever have.
Tips...can't really think of anything much. Gague the person you're dating. Everyone is different. If there is chemistry go for it but be careful it's not just physical chemistry. Be prepared for rejection. (Although, judging by the profile pic, you may not have to worry about it as much as other people. you are pretty.) Be prepared for heartbreak. Be prepared to find a bunch of toads among the frogs. I believe opposites attract but only if they compliment themselves nicely.
1. Return calls promptly
2. Honor dating commitments
3. Let the man take the lead/ no personal baggage
4. No speaking of other romantic relationships
5. Be engaging
6. Don't drink too much (she has two drink minimum at her mixers)
7. No gold-digging/worrying about how much the guy makes (her show is The Millionaire Matchmaker. She sets up millionaires but it's pretty good advice for the regular people as well. I watch the show to kind of get little tips on how to go about dating and a few things. At least to gain some kind of perspective.)
8. Act like a lady (gentleman for the guys out there)
9. If interested, express interest
10. No sex before monogamy
Of course, I have never tried any of these before because, I haven't had the chance to go on any dates. Well, the closest thing to a date was this one time when a friend took me out to dinner and then drinks at a bar across the street. I wouldn't call it a date though since she had a boyfriend already and she paid me for cleaning her patio (no double entendre intended). we talked about why him a little. Anyway, it's also a good idea to remember that everyone is different so everyone has different dating styles and tastes in the opposite sex.

might be some good points here- but chemistry either takes over- or it doesn't...the first time meeting can get very deep- if conversation is flowing well.....
first dates are like interviews, for the 2nd date
In all seriousness, good luck out there. May you have better luck wherever you are than I could ever have.

Good list, but #4 is typically violated for us middle age daters. I want to know early on the person's relationship history. That doesn't mean I need intimate details, but things like how many marriages, how did they end, was it amicable, etc. Same for LTRs.
There are red flags for me. For example, if a marriage was bad from the get go or there is a lot of lingering anger, especially years later. I've seen these issues recently in several dates and they're indicators of the future. I know from experience.
#2 is important to me too. If she's late on the first date it's usually bye bye. Some dates think that's cute.
In all seriousness, good luck out there. May you have better luck wherever you are than I could ever have.

I've watched the show a few times, it can be kind of a train wreck. A lot of times there is no chemistry.
The actual millionaires(men and women), often tend to be jerks. It is funny she has these rules when she knows some of her clients can't possibly follow them.

Interesting. lol I suppose it helps that on her show both sides get these rules ahead of time so they know them, they just have to follow them after that. In real life dating it doesn't go like that. Every person has their own rules and it's not always easy to get in the same page.

I've seen the show before too and what I mostly remember is seeing the men and understanding why they were still single and needing her help. lol
I also remember not seeing much chemistry between couples either.

It's just that at this stage (age) in my life, time is a precious commodity.
Are you trying to have kids or referring to a biological clock? Men don't really have this sort of pressure.

I think they do that for ratings. They show mostly train-wreck dates to make it interesting for the viewer. As for the rules, I try to keep an open mind. I don't think they need to be followed completely. I do, however, like the no sex before monogamy and the two drink minimum. It's good to get to know the person before getting into bed with them and everything.
