When it comes to dating and mating, women are the judges and the jury, according to Men's Health magazine. Here are top rules that can make or break a date:
Help her with her coat. Turn off your cell phone. If you've forgotten to turn it off and it rings, turn it off immediately without checking who's calling.
Apologize.
Always take the seat facing the wall. The woman faces the room. This automatically prevents you from eyeing other women.
Ignore her chest -- even if she's wearing a shirt so sheer it seems made of gauze, do not steal furtive glances at her breasts. If she catches you doing so, she will respect you less.
Tell her what you're thinking about ordering as you're looking at the menu. (She's waiting to see if you're going to order an appetizer.)
Ask for her opinion when choosing wine, but don't ask her to select the specific bottle. (She's assuming that you're going to treat to dinner but she doesn't have a clue as to what you want to spend.)
Offer her a taste of something. Pay the bill FAST -- without consulting your date. And don't ask her what you should leave for a tip because it will look like you're trying to show her how much you just spent on dinner.
Tacky.
