Times have changed! Those are most things that will get you date these days.

this is so great. what book/magazine is it from?!

I actually have this old magazine! Now I'm tempted to dig it out, if only I can remember where I put it. :D

Great and all, but where's the flip side of that? (and that guy looks a lot like a young Bob Hope!) Happy New Year, Roger.


I don't know of many men who show up with handkerchiefs for dates these days and since I just came back from a night of dancing, I can say with some authority that the right kind of conversation is very welcome while you're dancing.

If anyone should be crying on a date, it should be from laughing too much and too hard (or after because the woman beat the man in a game tennis, pool, or miniature golf).

Of course, I'm waiting for the follow up article: "Girls: Danger signals on a date."

And make sure every time he turns his back to you, you kiss his ass! Ya drunken sleazebag! :)

I haven't been on a date in a while, (I like to seem pathetic on blogs) but I'm pretty sure I'd be like this woman. My favourite pictures are the ones where the woman is talking to the other men. Her date's facial expression is amazing.

Damn straight.

Thiis advice is still true today. If women would take heed of this and exercise some manners then maybe they would appeal to men more. That's all I have to say.

Solid advice, lol

She shoulda ditched that stiff

"Never look bored, even if you are" — WTF??.

OK gang. The real reason she was bored? Her date is clearly a guy who wants to be a gal, but refuses to let his shellacked hair down. How do we know?

1. He is practicing the famous over-the-shoulder "glance down the nose with one eyebrow raised", unique to drag queens. (See fig.1)

2. He is actually fighting her for the car mirror (See fig. 5)

3. He is jealous that other guys are talking to her

I don't think she actually passed out. I think she thought it an opportune moment for a catnap.

Wow that last picture was pretty much my life in the 80's . I so hated the transition from rock in 70's 2 disco..the gold chains, the polyester, the platforms, I had 2 render myself unconcious just 2 be a prop in that era.

I like how the guy is getting more and more pissed as the date goes on. And at the end scratches her name out of his little black book. Serves her right.

Nothing in the list though about checking or talking or texting on the smart phone. Ooooooo, that bugs me....

The look of pure, childish jubilation on the face of the standing guy in the last picture is something else. I don't quite understand it, but it's almost contagious. I'm not kidding, it made me happier just now.

anybody else bothered by the men/girls incongruity? i still see this in text today, tho more often it's men/ladies...

So that's where I've been going wrong...

I love that it's presented as advice for guys, then it turns into slut-shaming for girls. So ADORABLeagh.....

Excuse me. Truly, if I never wanted to see a guy again, I would definitely tease him, act selfishly, use him to buy stuff, flirt with other men, and then leave him to clean up my mess. What are they really getting at here?

"Never look bored, even if you are" says the article — and "WTF??" says Simon.

No true lady would be so rude. Honesty and self-control both are virtues. I learned early that if you don't like one of your birthday presents, you don't just haul off and say so. You show some consideration for the intent of the giver, who didn't set out to displease you.

The man in the article has given the woman the free gift of his company, drinks, a ride, et cetera. She can let him know whether she would accept further offers when he makes them.

I love the "Don't talk while dancing for when a man dances he wants to dance". Haha This was a great read!

She can let him know whether she would accept further offers when he makes them.
