Rules for dating? How bout some observations and tips instead?
1. If they seem crazy on the phone, it's a good indicator they are crazy in person. Probably not a good idea to invite them to a concert, and then uninvite them once you've met.
2. Telling someone that you are still in love with your wife is a great way of getting yourself out of future dates with that person.
3. Don't be afraid to be nervous. I've found most of my dates are equally as nervous if not more. Just relax and be yourself. That's who they'll eventually get to know anyway.
4. If you have allergies, take your Allegra before meeting someone at the Starbucks patio.
5. Surprisingly, driving a car with a big penguin on the side isn't as embarrassing to your dates as you might think.
