I’m out of the ‘dating market’ for more than a decade before I freed myself from my previous marriage, it’s hard though to jump back in to the dating world, I’m like a total newbie, but not as those young teen, they have plenty of youth and time to spend and experience, they have the courage that only teen possesses, and me? there are a lot more thinking and thoughts behind it … hmm … it’s time to get started all over again? oh, I’m confusing but yet, no harm to just jump in and test the water, right?

Okay, with that in mind let’s talk about the dating ethics since I got a date arranged by the local match maker today at lunch

I’m setting some rules and guidelines for myself before I meet up with this “potential prospect”, beside being polite and leave him a good impression, most importantly enjoy the new experience with fun in mind Leave me your advises please.

First ethic: Attitude, this play the big part to me. I must remind myself I’m meeting up with a new friend, not a future husband, just plain new friend, then I’d be able to act naturally and enjoy the present moment with the company of this new friend.

Secondly: Appearance, the word ’sexy’ never link to me no matter how I wish I could be a little bit sexier, or blend the ’sexy’ elements with my femininity, but I just not knowing how to pretend and imitate and turn it to become me, even with the help from my friends (I think they are feeling defeated too :p). I eventually decided to give up on the sexy thing after few attempts, rather, I’d go for the natural me, with a basic make-up like lip stick and eye liner, neat and, proper, and, just me.

Thirdly: Contact exchange, I’ll exchange my contact with him if he is asking, unless he sees no interest in me at all, or fearing that I’m too hungry for man and decided to just run away :D. It’s always no harm to keeping contact with more friends, I think.

Then come to this bill paying part: Say if I see no spark or no interest at all with him, I’ll pay for my own portion even if he’s insisted to pay for me; whereas if I’m interested in him, I’ll still offer to pay the bill but will let him pay the bill if he’s insisted to pay.

What do you think?
