Many of the quaint rituals of dating in the 1950′s show common courtesy that is lacking today. Would you like to see any of these rules brought back?
Dating Etiquette for Girls
- Only floozies ask guys out.
- When someone asks you out, it’s polite to give an immediate answer.
- Never break a date without providing a valid reason.

- It’s only proper to introduce your date to your parents.
- Don’t apply makeup in public (please see first point).
- At a restaurant, it’s ladylike to tell a date what you want for dinner, so he can order for you.

Dating Etiquette for Guys
- Dates aren’t like cramming for exams; don’t wait until the last minute to ask a girl out.
