Dating in the new millennium is interesting to say the least. You find yourself looking in the mirror, wondering what the opposite sex will think. Well take heart singles, they're wondering too!

We all take pride in how we look, but do we take pride in how we think and act? Mental hygiene is important too. How you carry yourself when meeting the first time is very important. It sets the tone for the evening and is part of the final verdict on whether or not you get a second date.

Leave your emotional baggage at home. The new person in your life has their own and is trying to recover just like you are. Why add to the tension by bringing up the past. Keep the conversation light, and pleasant. Listening is a much appreciated trait. Be genuine, and honest.

Manners and courtesy are always appreciated. Guys, holding doors, offering your hand when they exit your vehicle, letting the lady order first, these all sound simple, but it shows you are a gentleman. This is always appreciated on the first date. Make mental notes of her dress, and what she ordered etc., it will come in handy if/when you reach an anniversary.

When dating online, make notes. Favorite food, music, perfume, etc.. This will all come in handy when you want to surprise them. Flooz.com has a great way to send gift certificates to the special person in your life.

What it comes down to is simple. You want to be treated special, and so will your date. Take time and prepare, pick your clothes out, make any needed arrangements, like dinner reservations, that trip to the gourmet grocery, and don't forget to visit our cooking.com page for special tips, tools and recipes.

When all else fails guys, a single rose and a sweet card will go along way if you are genuine and a gentleman at all times.. She'll let you know when to make your move..!

And as always I could be wrong, I'm no expert..:)
