Dear Allstars,

This one is for you.  The ones who do things right on dates.  The ones who impress us.  The ones who get second dates.

Here is what you guys have done correctly:
- made reservations
- showed up on time
- had plans for ice cream, a movie, something, anything, after dinner so that you don't turn to me and ask "so what do you want to do now?"
- wore an outfit that is comfortable, yet stylish
- ironed your clothes
- hint of cologne (emphasis on hint)
- insisted on getting popcorn and drinks at the movie, even though you just had dinner 20 minutes prior
- remained sober throughout the entire date
- brought flowers
- brought candy
- complimented me at least three times - outfit, unique thing about me (eyes, hair, smile), and non-physical such as intelligence, wit, humor
- washed and vacuumed the car prior to the date
- asked for a second date
- sent a thank you text that night
- said when you would call within the next three days, and actually called
- set up the second date for that week
- used valet
- asked the waiter to "bring ME the check" so it isn't awkwardly left sitting in the middle of the table
- ordered a nice bottle of wine
- didn't talk exclusively about yourself, ie - seemed interested in getting to know me
- did not ask for a kiss, either did it, or did not. don't talk about it.
- did not try to take me out "for drinks" after and then try to take me home
- wore grownup shoes - ie - not flip flops or running shoes
- offered to say the blessing before dinner (for southern girls, this is an awwwwwwwwww moment)
- didn't swear
- took you to a nice restaurant for the first date. you want the first date to be impressive and memorable boys.
- thanked me for a nice time
