When I started dating my mother gave me some great tid-bits of advice that still rings true to today!
They are:
1) Want a man not need one.
2) If a man gives you a gift or buys you dinner, regardless of cost, all you need to do is say "thank you, there is no need to kiss, sleep with or marry him".
3) Sex doesn't have to happen just at night.
4) Men are dumb jerks, they can't help it.

5. Sex doesn't just have to happen in a bed (thanks for that one Mom, my mind's eye will never be the same) LOL
6. Relax and be yourself. If they don't know the real you how will you ever know if he likes you?
7. Don't be afraid of trying new things. Who knows you might end up liking sushi or bungie jumping.
8. Laugh alot at the world and at yourself. Don't take yourself too seriously.
9. Don't make yourself too available!!! Even the most secure male likes to pursue the female. Make him do the work initially.
10. Listen to your gut!! If something doesn't seem right, it's probably not.
11. Pay close attention to how he treats people in the service industry: waiters and waitreses, cashiers, etc. Get rid of him if he is rude.
12. Do not introduce your new dating interest to your friends for at least 6 weeks. YOU need to decide if you like him enought to keep seeing him before your friends give their opinion.
13. Do not introduce your new "love" interest to your family for at least 3-6 months. Do not subject your family to every Tom, Dick or Harry because your family will not be able to keep up!
14. Do not wear your "Crazy" on your sleeve. He will discovery it fast enough on his own, no need to point it out during the first 3-6 weeks of dating.
15. Every guy has his own "crazy" meter. Some guys tolerate different types of wacko better than others so find one that can cope with one of smaller ones you might have like closing alll cupboard doors tightly or squeezing toothpaste at the bottom first. Then you can disclose your "bigger" ones slowly.
16. Your mate should be your equal and partner. Guys are not real estate so don't invest your time, effort or heart into a "fixer upper".
