Hi everyone and welcome to the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band! It's that time of the year again when you see starry eyed couples holding hands, hugging, smooching, and declaring unrequited love. For all you singles out there, this thread is dedicated to all of you (and me) lol.

Let's exchange tips on dating and flirting!

Yes, I said flirting. flirting is a delightful, innocent, and respectful way to play with each other! Flirting is performed and perceived as a kind of compliment, an acknowledgement of the beauty and fun in each of us.

A first date can really be a chore for some us. I remember a quote by Jerry Seinfeld,
Dating is never easy. It's like job interview which lasts all night."

So join the band and add your tips here!

1-Add alcohol. A person is always charming, witty and humorous while drinking (at least they think they are!)

2-Don't bring your parents, children or spouse when you hit the town.

3-Always have a friend with you. They calm you down. They also inform you of things you need to know: "there's toilet paper on you shoe!" "you're coming onto a statue!" "he's gay!"
This tip is especially important if tip #1 is also used.

4-Whatever you do, do not mention the things (sometimes obscene) that you did in high school. That gives the other person too much insight and sometimes too many fantansies!

5-Don't giggle! Somewhere along the lines women thought it was 'cute' to giggle. Let me clear the air right now, it is not! Laugh if something is funny. The only time giggling is acceptable is if you've had way too much of #1, and you are not really sure what's going on. The person associated with tip #2 will let you know if you've reached this point.

6-If you are eating, do not order a salad. You know you want food, get food. Hell, if he is paying, get enough for a doggy bag.

7-Always flirt with someone that you will not run into the next day. I say this because chances are you aren't gonna remember what you said, and secondly, if they are interested, they should not be exposed to the morning after party look. Actually, no one should be exposed to that.

8-Be skeptical. No one is perfect. If you think they are, you are lonelier than I and just wishing. Or, possibly, you've enjoyed one too many spirits. In that case, the friend better be dragging your butt home.

9-Notice things: If the man/woman of your dreams has only one long fingernail, that's not good. I promise he will never have money to spend on you. Or, if the man, adjusts himself more than twice an hour, he has some form of a rash. Do not enter!

10-Lastly, be yourself. Why waste all the energy being someone else to get attention from a complete stranger? Waste that energy on something productive...order another drink!
