Courtship, Dating, Seeing Someone & Other Confusing Terms

By -
Apparently, here are the "rules":

1. During the early days of dating, the girl should offer to pay half the bill but the guy should say politely say no to the offer.
2. When a guy is courting a girl and someone asks if they are in the courtship stage, the guy should be the one to answer and admit he is courting her.

3. When they are already in a relationship and someone asks if they are, the girl should answer it.

4. The first date should be casual. Something like, coffee or a snack. That way, either could bail early and soon if it's not working out.



5. The guy should ask for the number after the date whether or not he has intentions of calling.

6. First date topic should be limited to non-intimate topics. No stories about childhood hangups, family problems and when either wants to get married. It should be about safe topics that would reveal a little something about each party.

7. The girl should never choose a place that's too expensive, let the guy invite.

8. To some girls, (not really a rule) it is still important for a guy to ask formally if they can be "official". Some girls still want to hear 'would you be my girl?' or something to that effect.

9. The waiter should hand the bill to the girl and give the guy the chance to ask for it.

10. After about 3 to 4 dates, the guy should be clear on his intentions. If it is just "hanging out", the guy should be clear about it. It is never acceptable for the guy to ask the girl to "wait until he figures it out". By the 3rd date, he should already figure it out.

11. The guy should get down from his car when dropping the girl off and picking her up.

12. The guy should tell the girl where they are going on their first date to give her the chance to dress up appropriately.

Are those right? You have anything to add?

Do You Wish You Are Younger?

"Why weren't I born in the 90s?" I was with a friend for over 6 hours yesterday and we did talk about a whole lot of things but that was the thing I remember the most. She was talking about this hot guy who was in his mid-20s and she is in her mid 30s. She can't help but envy those college student who has a "chance" with the guy. Let me get something clear. This hot guy she was talking about is an international celebrity. Not that you can't dream big, look at Katie Holmes. There is also David Beckham who declared he was going to marry Posh Spice when he was still unknown. Then there's Carolyn Bessett who told her friend she will marry JFK Jr. someday.  As bad of an example as it may be, the truth is that there is still some sort of standards when it comes to dreaming big in this sense.

America's Best Dance Crew is back after 5 years of absence and it inspired to make a come back to my unfortunately abandoned blog. I am not a dancer. Although I can certainly move to the groove I am far from being graceful. It is, however, ABDC that inspired my appreciation of hiphop as a dance. Season 8 brings together the past champions from almost every season including Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, Elektrolytes, I Am Me, And We Are Heroes. Kinjaz is the 6th group composed of different choreographers in the industry including a Jabbawockeez, Ben Chung. From a marketing perspective, there is no better way to bring back a TV show but to pull in marketing aces they have in every season. After all, most, if not all, of these groups have developed a loyal following brought about by their success after their ABDC stint. There are a few, however, who are not as successful but that is a marketing tool in itself. This season is a restart both for ABDC and to many of the crews a

I am truly amazed that someone is reading this blog. Not only that, someone bothered to email and ask me a question. While she asks to remain anonymous she asked me to answer her question here instead of her email. Her questions: You seem smart, why are you still single? Are you ugly? Well, miss anonymous. I did write about how I look in thisentry and I stand by what I said. However, it did inspire me to look into the possible reasons I am still single. Here are the possible reasons. 1.        While I was on a date with my boyfriend, I forgot I was with him. I bought movie tickets while he was buying food. I bought one ticket. You can’t make this shit up. 2.        Having too many male friends made me think like them. A guy feels kinda gay when he goes on a date with me. 3.        I have too many gay friends and think and act like them. A guy feels kinda gay when he goes on a date with me. 4.        I almost died when I was a kid. I had such a high fever for mo
