As far as the 'paying' thing...pay for the first date. Always. On the same token, practice chivalry. Just because it's not totally accepted doesn't mean it's wrong. Open doors, be polite, follow basic etiquette rules. I do agree, don't give roses. Know your date well enough. Give her sunflowers, give her tulips. Know her first, and pick a flower that way. It's a little old fashioned, but don't let romance die before it's born. There are way too many 'lessons in dating' type things going around these days, and most of them are wrong. Be yourself, but with a little more emphasis on the thoughtful side of yourself. Don't try anything on the first date. Nothing. If you have to, a hug or a kiss on the cheek. Always have the second date conversation before the attempt. don't be a douchebag. don't talk badly about other people, say something nice about your date, don't complain. At all. Ever. Positivity goes a long way. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. It's chemistry. I agree with some of it, but….

Your last paragraph about being right in yourself and the rest will come is so true. I put on alot of weight and with it, I lost my confidence. Spending a few months riding my bike in Canada, helped me lose some lbs and I am feeling so much more confident. I've now been down in California for three weeks and have already had a first date with a stunning girl who I would simply put out of my league.
