The First Date Bill of Rights

If he falls far short in any or several of these categories (one or two small deficiencies may be excusable), starting a relationship with him may not be a good idea. Don’t despair if he does--you're now free to look for other, better prospects.

If all goes well, this first date may lead to another, then another, and you're off on the Road to a Relationship. But don't speed down this road in a souped-up convertible with the top down, no matter how much fun it seems to be! Keep your eyes open and your judgment intact.

As a single woman, you are entitled to expect the following traits from your first date.

• Reliable: Did he call you when he stated he would?
• Accessible: Did he provide you with his cell phone number and email address, in case you need to reach him about an unexpected change in plans?
• Approachable: Did he welcome you to contact him at any time?
• Conscientious: Is the planned activity both convenient and enjoyable?
• Accommodating: Did he suggest and book a suitable place to meet?
• Thorough: Were you impressed with the arrangements that were made?
• Polite: Did he show good manners?
• Connectable: Was it easy to talk, or did making conversation feel like “pulling teeth”?
• Attentive: Did he listen to what you told him or hinted about your personal preferences?
• Generous: Did he reserve a table at a restaurant suitable for intimate dialogue, and did he tip appropriately?
• Comfort: Did you leave with the feeling that you would really enjoy spending time together in the future?
• Chemistry: Are you physically attracted to your date?
• Integrity: Did he seem honest?
• Safety: Did you feel secure throughout the evening?
