I've mentioned this before but in my dating days, I was initially unsuccessful. This was the late 1970s period when beta "sensitive men" were supposedly in, like Alan Alda from MASH and that one teacher guy from WELCOME BACK KOTTER. So that's how I pretended to be on dates. I would ask the girls what they would like to do and I would pretend to like their music and try to talk to them about fashion. Girls did not like it and I never got a second date.

I was then given some advice. On a date, the girl wants the man to decide what to do and where to go. They like the man to be decisive. So I would arrive on a date with a plan for the entire evening and the girl would not have to make a single decision. This immediately turned my dating life around. Then I ended up getting married and have been so ever since.

You did the right thing. It’s been a very long time since I’ve dated (been married 35 years) but I do remember HATING IT when my dates would pick me up and ask me what I wanted to do. Those guys never got a second date.
