Your love to woman, and woman's love to man- ah, would that it were sympathy for suffering and veiled deities! But generally two animals alight on one another.
1: Offer flowers. Those Soulth-American flowers that smell like rotting meat.
2: Be chevalerous*. Open doors. Especially when your date is unconscious or dead.
3: Girls used to consider the deformed, pickled fetus on your dresser "cool". That was when you were 12. Now it's just creepy.
4: Girls used to consider your "Mr.Spock Ears" cool. That was when you were 12. Get a life, fanboy!
5: Most girls will not engage in "role-playing" as characters from "Babylon 5". At least not on the first date. See above.
6: Paying for dinner does not mean your date has to give head. The Supreme Court struck that argument down in 1987.
7O NOT bring her into your little circle of D&D gaming friends!
8: DO NOT greet her father with "Nanoo Nanoo". See number 4.
9: DO NOT ask her "Can i see your photon torpedoes?"
10: "Say, you look like you have a little Irish in you" is no longer considered a valid pick-up line. In certain states of the Union, it is legal to shoot men who use it.
11: However fascinating Hegel's influence on the development of dialectical materialism may be, do not, NOT mention this to your date.
12: If her eyes start to glaze over, it means you have broken rule 11.
13: "I have been waiting for a girl like you for countless aeons" is NOT Gothic-Sexy. It is evidence of mental illness.
14. Besides, "countless aeons" is too old for even Anna-Nichole Smith.
15: "And even the little God may he find, who is dearest to maidens: beside the well lieth he quietly, with closed eyes. Verily, in broad daylight did he fall asleep, the sluggard! Had he perhaps chased butterflies too much?"
is not an expression of "interest". It means you are dating Zarathrusra. See opening quote.
And, I cannot think of any more.
*Hate that word. Hate that word. Hate that word. Hate that word.
