First dates truly matter in terms of first impressions, and the chance to make any impression past that. Whether you’ve experienced a first date disaster, or even just witnessed a traumatic first between two others, you know that there are certain activities to steer clear from. However, if you are not a regular first date professional as of now, here are some tips of what not to do on a first date.

Ever wonder what’s a good DVD to pop in that will turn your date on and generate chemistry?

Well, look no further. Here is a list for 50 best date movies ever. My favorite from the list? It’s got to be Dirty Dancing and Casablanca!

However, I’m not quite sure how some of them made into the list. Movies like “The Descent”, “The Science of Sleep” are IMO just too bloody or too weird to be considered good date movies.

What do you think of the list? Do you think it missed anything?

One movie I think that should definitely be on the list is “A Knight’s Tale”, with crazy tale mixing jousting and classic rock songs. Heath Ledger was just amazing.

Another one is gotta be “Fatal Attraction”. Michael Doughlas and Glenn Close was really great! I like that scene when she sneaks in their house and she’s holding a butcher life cutting herself now isn’t that creepy!!

Internet dating can be tricky, you never know if the person is telling the whole truth. Often people fudge on minor details. For example, I tell people I am 30 when I am really 33. Maybe today I’m 130 pounds, but yesterday I was 145 pounds. Little white lies can be expected, but what happened next made me question disclosure ethics in the world of online dating.

I met Miguel online in a dating chat room. He appeared to be funny, sweet, and interesting. After chatting for a few weeks, we agreed to meet in person for a real date.

Let me just say this first: I am no authority on the so-called “gold diggers”. In other words, I have been fortunate so far not to date anyone who is interested in me solely for my money, nor had I dated anyone who took off with what little money I had. Yet I was able to come up with this extensive list rather effortlessly. How did I come up with this list so easily, you ask? It is probably because of fear of losing the money I need to eat, pay my rent, and pay my student loans. It also could be because I am so sick of hearing about these “celebutants” whose every move is thrown into the faces of Americans whether they want to hear about it or not. Either way, I surprised myself when I was able to come up with not 10, not 20, but a whopping fifty indications.

You try to ignore it, but the queasy feeling won’t disappear. Is it all in my head? you wonder. Blaming yourself for being insecure, you sweep your worries under the futon.

Three months later, you’re purging the debris of a hit-and-run relationship, wishing you could rewind and stop at the instant you sensed you were getting the short end of the proverbial stick.
