It seems like people don't really know how to act around each other anymore when they date. In some cases it seems like the men have reverted to our cavemen ancestors. The women are also too forward and aggressive as well.

Whether you do online dating, adult dating, free dating or date the conventional way, you should know the basic rules of the dating game. Knowing them can increase your chances of doing well in the dating arena.

Dating Rule number one: courtesy is never out of style. Depending on their level of independence, women will actually decide on whether you get a second date or not on whether you open doors for her, where you late for the date or if you insisted that she take her shoes off before she could get in your car when you picked her up.

Dating Rule number two: be prepared for conversation. Grunting at your date does not count. In dating you are expected to be interesting and interested. Have some general questions ready to help you and your date get to know each other better. A great conversation will make your date feel more at ease with you and definitely keep you from getting bored on your date.

Dating rule number three: avoid talking about touchy issues on a first date. You never know if you'll hit a nerve. Arguing with your date is totally uncool and will definitely get you taken of the dating list.

Dating rule number four: don't get too touchy feely on the first date. Women rarely like dating an octopus, even if they are into wrestling. Men on the other hand may like women who are touchy. Ladies, best be sure you mean to deliver. No complaining if you get in over your head. Better to keep your hands to yourself.
