For example: After what you have found to be a dreadfully boring date, when asked if you had a good time you say "yes, I did" (just to be nice).

Yes...  It's called compassion.  And it's a good thing, in moderation, of course.  A lot of people have a "who cares?" attitude and end up hurting people in their lives, whether important people or the random fellow shopper at the grocery store.\n\nThere's a thin line in the relationship of being brutal, mean, honest, compassionate, truthful, white-liar, etc..  The trick is to no when you're being TOO nice or when you're being TOO mean.\n\nPerhaps you can still be honest and sincere but not hurtful... like maybe respond with something like... "Yeah, I was thinking maybe next time, if we decide to go out again, we can do something like ----- fill in blank with ideas -----... what do you think?"  ... if he/she says a flat out "no"... hey... why bother making a 2nd date..  ya know?  And if he/she says it'd be fine with him/her... then you've got potential!

Some one who is genuine. If you disagree with something I say on a date, tell me. If you don't like something I do tell me. If I slurp my coffee and you don't like it, say so. Maybe we wont go out again, but you were honest in letting me know your true feelings. That is something I can respect.

Yes.  It loses its effectiveness after a date.

Put some random interesting fact about yourself as an opening statement like an attention getter. Hi is boring.

Asking questions like the one you just did.

i was telling one of those jokes where you describe a disgusting/sexual situation and set up the listener to say the answer, and then the joke is that they have done it before. i told the joke the day before in school, and everybody loved it. one girl was absent, so the next day, everybody wanted me to do the joke on her. so, when I tried, it took like half an hour because she was so ditzy she couldn't figure out what i was trying to say.

The only one that really comes to mind is once I took a girl out to a pumpkin patch a week before Halloween.  We both bought pumpkins, then went to dinner and watched Zoolander, then back to my house to cut the pumpkins...which we never finished until 3 days later.  Never had so much fun on a date before or since.

Once went on a date where a guy was happen to let me know just how much he was at ease with being a "flake". He used the word more than once. So I felt if he is comfort in his "flakiness" and still has a good job. I should be more relaxed about the fact that I liked being super busy as long as I scheduled my "work time" with my "fun time". I thought things we going well until I started to tell him what I liked doing. He started to go on the defensive about being a flake. It didn't seem to matter that I didn't care either way if he liked to relax a lot. He just resented the fact that I liked "keeping busy" and actually liked my job. He became sarcastic about how much I made, trying to get me to tell him. The date just got very uncomfortable and went from an easy date to just pure disaster. I refuse to think it my fault because I simply talked about myself since he talked about himself. Inferiority complex is a baaaaad thing I tell you. Very unattractive in a man.

Yes, you unwittingly broke a rule.  You just shouldn't comment on your date's choice, except to say, "that sounds delicious" or "great choice."  Your comment could be misconstrued as a criticism of her eating/health habits.  It's like saying, "I would eat that, but fried food is bad/fattening/disgusting and grilled food is far superior."  Thus, it's a little rejection of your date.

Many years ago, I dated this one girl.  On the first date, she backed away from my advances. She said she wanted it to be special.\n\nI said OK - that's cool.\n\nI took her out on a second date, and I brought her flowers.  I took her out to a fancy restaurant, then we went out dancing.\n\nOnce again, she pushed me away.  This time, she got a little angry with me.  She said "When I want to have sex, I'll let you know."\n\nI said OK.\n\nThe next four months, we went out a lot.  I bought her jewelry, and I took her to shows.  I treated her  like she was a princess.\n\nShe started asking a lot of questions one night.  Honestly, I felt like I was being interrogated, but I must have answered all the questions correctly, because she said "Make love to me."\n\nAnd so I did.\n\nThen I dumped her @ss.

Mostly, but not necessarily.  It depends on how it's said, in what situation, etc.\n\nFor example, if I'd just spent a fun day full of laughter and sweetness with a best guy friend at an amusement park or something similar, and then, unexpectedly, he turned and asked 'Would you ever date me?", I'd think it meant something.\n\nIf we're laughing and joking as we watch 'The Bachelor' or some other stupid show on TV and he asks "Would you ever date me?", I wouldn't expect it meant anything.\n\nDoes that make sense?  Most remarks probably fall somewhere in between those two scenarios, making it hard to understand, but it could just be that the person wants to know about their own desirability, and is using you as a mirror to tell them their strengths and flaws.

Why not? If its a great date, then you scored.\n\nIf its a so-so date, at least you got out of the house.\n\nAnd if its horrible, then you will have a funny story to tell later on!
