There is an unspoken aspect of first impressions.

Most of us believe that people are on their best behavior on a first date. So if a man or woman isn't gracious on a first date, then what does that say about the future?

If you don't get that right, chances are there won't be a second date!

With your attitude, I hope you are not dating. It will only lead to despair, disappointment, and eventually throwing yourself off a bridge.

Yes they are.

So what's the opportunity cost of leaving the pants party?

What attitude do you think I have? From my side of the monitor I am neither filled with despair nor disappointment. Though throwing myself of a bridge (bungee cord attached) sounds like it would be fun. I am a bit old for such things but I am still up for it. It sounds like a great special first date.

Umm...not being at the pants party anymore?

I have to admit, I didn't do as well in economics classes as I did in some of the others.

DarrenSmooth and JordanJP,
If you ever have plans to visit an Asian country, let me know, I’ll hook you up so you can have a “different cultural experience” .

ShootingStars and Robee70,
So what do you do for your guy on the first date to impress him?

Goes both ways. Women should stop worrying if the guy used a coupon or not, got a discount or not, took you to grab a burger or for some caviar and champagne, etc. Be glad a guy asked you out and all you had to do was say yes.

And women say guys talk about money when all these rules that have been posted on how a guy should spend money on women comes from women: he should tip good to show me he’s nice, he should not use coupons, he should spend this way, he should spend that way, etc.

Well, uhmmm, yeah.... I guess.

Admittedly my imagination got the best of me and I was expecting you to say "stopping all the goings-on at the pants party ".

Doesn't sound like there's all that much going on.

There's always something going on at the pants party.

I was there once. I was the guy hanging up all the coats.

My first date with my husband was a dinner at an inexpensive boardwalk cafe followed by walking & talking til dawn on the beach. We were in our 20's and if God forbid I was to ever be dating again, it still sounds like an ideal first date to me. However, if he would have pulled out a clipped coupon or started mentally adding up how much each dish cost,, I don't think there would have been a second date.

I would never say yes to a first date with a man if I didn't want to get to know them better. However, they aren't doing me a favor by asking me out any more than I am doing them a favor by accepting.

Actually, chivalry is best taught from father to son.
