What can you add to these social rules for dating?

Ask a simple question hoping for some humorous answers and having some fun running with it and what do I get? FLAMED! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Excuse me, I got some soot in my nose. 🙄

[Purpleronnie]

Reading that list just made me wanna puke 🤮 what a load of old tosh.


I can sum it up in 4 words … ‘ be a decent person’.


There are no social rules , there are social norms and what’s expected but nobody arrives at a date with a bloody checklist to remember.


Nobody has anything to over think or get anxious about , be yourself but don’t be a c***

[Will_Allard]

While I understand your frustration at the list, ultimately there are a lot of people (yes mainly men) who perhaps don't have as well developed an understanding of 'be a decent person' -- perhaps for whom a list of faux pas would be just a little bit useful.

I get 100% where you are coming from truly, but there are also some VERY socially inept guys out there, maybe not you or me, but they are out there

[NoDecision]

You won't have a written checklist, but we all have our preferences, which is kind of a checklist in itself. So what is your excuse for not being married at 37?

[Purpleronnie]

I don’t need an excuse… it’s a choice

[NoDecision]

Well you evidently had a list too and no one has met it yet, right?

[Purpleronnie]

You know absolutely nothing about me , and yet because of my opinion on a list that “you” asked for and the information I “chose” to put on my profile you presume to understand why you “think” I’m single and un-married? . Can you comprehend just how ridiculous that is?

[NoDecision]

@purpleronnieWhat I can comprehend is that you are a jack ass and am surprised that I didn't block you sooner. Don't flatter yourself, no one wants to know some dumb ass.

[Zack-Bann]

I would get rid of #5 because talking about income shouldn’t be this huge taboo thing


But I would replace it with “don’t borrow/lend money to someone you’re dating”


You can share money if you wish but don’t enter into a formal debt because a breakup might become that much more complicated if you do

[DishLady]

Most of these are just common manners and not specific to dating.

[Nikki1989]

Learn how to carry a conversation.

[AviatorTom]

There are too many negatives in that list. Rather than a bunch of don't do's, I have have a simple positive rule for dating... put your date first.

[NoDecision]

That doesn't always work. You will always have Negative Nellies some time or other

[Meatballs]

Definitely never discuss that you collect hair clippings from famous people and have 15 scrap books full of various famous and infamous people and you dress up like a Star wars character at every comic con
Would be a wise choice to exclude from your conversation... 🤣

[NoDecision]

Not something to brag about I guess. Especially if they dress up as Lara Croft for the date.

[Meatballs]

Do you still have to clean out the soot in your nose... You wanted funny replies. Be careful what you wish for... There's always a twisted knucklehead like me lurking to kick out a crazy response

[Meatballs]

Lmao@ nodecision your funny 🤣

[NoDecision]

Do it!

[BeenThereLovedIt]

#30 is in direct contradiction to #28. This is stuff made up by internet noobs. Find something better to do with your time. This is all virtual nonsense that doesn't do anything to add to your quality of life, it just wastes your time.

[NoDecision]

And being on G@G doesn't? 🤔😅🤣😂

[BeenThereLovedIt]

You can interact with me and others on gag and who knows maybe some discussion amounts to something useful or positively changes someones way of thinking or seeing something

[NoDecision]

Don't get all "superior" on us now.

[Will_Allard]

I would add only, don't comment on the other persons order at dinner; they ordered for themselves not for you so no need to comment

[Sal_Monella]

How am I supposed to remember all of that? I'm going to step on a crack within 5 minutes. But here's one always show respect for the person you are dating. They don't have to earn your respect. You are obligated to give it.

[Staximus]

It says unspoken social, rules not dating rules. What's wrong with telling your date that they look nice?

[NoDecision]

Not a thing. I'm sure they would be flattered. ☺

[Phoenix98]

To many rules just be a decent human being who uses common sense instead.

[Anonymous]

LOL @ your update. People be rude. I think it's a good list. Very comprehensive, but clearly written by a woman. :)

[blackeagle007]

Rule #1 always bath before the date

[NoDecision]

That should go without saying.

[blackeagle007]

Amazing some people don’t use simple ideas

[NoDecision]

Well that stinks!

[linka_pat307]

Learn to be by yourself sometimes

[CheriBlossomKisses]

Have fun. If you're not, that's a sign.

[InknKink]

31. Forget everything on this list

[Ask105]

Don’t go outside number 1 !

[LiamJHayden]

Just be kind and considerate.

[Awesomesauce2005]

I would get rid of rules 5,21,22,23,26

[queenofcardio]

Nothing else
