primatx Spring, TX 59, joined May. 2012	Many of the quaint rituals of dating in the 1950's show common courtesy that is lacking today. Would you like to see any of these rules brought back? Dating Etiquette for Girls Only floozies ask guys out. When someone asks you out, it’s polite to give an immediate answer. Never break a date without providing a valid reason. There’s no such thing as fashionably late; be ready when your date arrives. It’s only proper to introduce your date to your parents. Don’t apply makeup in public (please see first point). At a restaurant, it’s ladylike to tell a date what you want for dinner, so he can order for you. Don’t humiliate guys by trying to pay for a date. Dating Etiquette for Guys Dates aren’t like cramming for exams; don’t wait until the last minute to ask a girl out. It’s poor form to honk the car horn to announce your arrival; call for her at the door. Ask her parents when they want her home — and make sure your watch works. It’s only polite to help her don her coat. Real gentlemen open car doors for girls — or any door, for that matter. It’s chivalrous to walk between her and the curb. Bring enough money along. No kissing on the first date. On prom night, don’t leave the corsage in the fridge.

bumblebee7 Fort Payne, AL 59, joined Apr. 2011	I remember those days and still carry one some of the traditions, mixed with some new ways of thinking....which is what women wanted to. Remember this...that image of women we had in those days....and the one thats projected now. I think this has some bearing on why things are different...and society changing in general. The thing about wanting the best of both worlds is...is not wanting the worse of either, and someone else getting stuck with it. The reality is, men and women are just humans, not some projected image. Most people investigate a company, before investing stock in it. Either way, if given a choice between those times and these.... I'll take the 50's [Edited 9/11/2013 7:45:24 AM ]

But then again he's "old school" and so am I, it's just NICE. Sweetie does all that and then some, some I'd forgotten about, he did the switching when we'd left an eatery to shop along the Town Center, and I couldn't figure out what he was doing..he was putting himself between me and the curb!! I'd not had "that" in over 30 years!! It's NICE. But that's me, when we take my future son in law and my daughter out to eat with us, she rolls her eyes when Sweetie opens the truck door, the door and pulls out my chair, but she shot my future son in law a look and he did it too for her exaggerated but I have noticed he's treating her better and she him since they had some polite good behavior modeled for them! Nothing wrong with being nice and treating the one you love WELL. When dating, he's a potential significant other, wouldn't you want to be a lady, polite and have good manners with them of all people?? js.

vanir Victoria Australia 44, joined Mar. 2008	’s chivalrous to walk between her and the curb. Actually the tradition of walking to one side of the lady being chivalrous began in early London and it was the other way around. There was no plumbing in city buildings and people emptied their bed pans (a potty to crap/piss in during the night) directly out the windows and onto the street below. The drainage gutter ran along the buildings, sewerage drains against the buildings and the cobblestone streets curved upwards in the centre. The puddles could only form against the buildings, they were literally full of crap, and it was gentlemanly to walk on the building side, so the lady didn't mess her shoes walking in crap closer to the raised centre of the streets. In the very middle carriages and carts passed certainly, at about 2mph less of a bother than walking in crap on the building side of the path. It's in modern streets that you have footpaths on the building side of a drainage gutter and cars moving the other side of that, so sure it would make sense to swap it around so she doesn't get splashed by passing traffic but at the same time that's what nature strips are for, specifically in fact. In any case it's not chivalrous to walk the street side of a lady, chivalry denotes tradition and tradition was being chivalrous, or knightly to walk upon the building side where the bedpans are tossed. It's only common sense to swap it around in modern times, not traditional, and even then conditional, unnecessary if there is a nature strip or it's not raining, etc. You might also consider that walking routinely upon the street side blocks her movements between you and fencelines, hedges, buildings offering only forwards/backwards motion to her. You could be making her feel less free by representing physical blockage in one direction of travel simply because you decided, maybe she prefers feeling more free in as many directions as possible when walking with someone she hardly knows. That would be chivalrous.

Ahhh, the good ole days when Jim Crowe kept minorities down and everyone was afraid of McCarthy's pink scurge.

primatx Spring, TX 59, joined May. 2012	I Need To Get Me One Of These!! The Good Wife's Guide 1955 1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. 2. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. 3. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. 4. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the house just before your husband arrives. 5. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run a dustcloth over the tables. 6. Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. 7. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. 8. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. 9. Be happy to see him. 10. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. 11. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember his topics of conversation are more important that yours. 12. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. 13. Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. 14. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. 15. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. 16. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. 17. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. 18. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. 19. A good wife always knows her place.

txrose64 Pearland, TX 50, joined Jan. 2013	Quote from primatx:Many of the quaint rituals of dating in the 1950's show common courtesy that is lacking today. Would you like to see any of these rules brought back? Dating Etiquette for Girls Only floozies ask guys out. (It's a mindset and depends on the type of guy you want, that falls into you don't call him nor message first on a dating site, or ask on a date. You want a gentleman BE a lady). When someone asks you out, it’s polite to give an immediate answer. (don't jerk a guy around, if you're interested say so, if not be polite and kind about it, it goes for the same on messaging, just wish them luck no insults or tirades if you're turned down) Never break a date without providing a valid reason. (That's just common courtesy hence the word "court" in it!) There’s no such thing as fashionably late; be ready when your date arrives. (none of that passive aggressive BS, just as your time is valuable so is he it's about RESPECT) It’s only proper to introduce your date to your parents. (well that comes later but if underage or living with them, yes you should). Don’t apply makeup in public (please see first point). (I don't do it, that's what the powder room is for! Now sometimes applying a lil red lipstick can be a turn on, when that's appropriate, yes, never at the table though!!) At a restaurant, it’s ladylike to tell a date what you want for dinner, so he can order for you. (why not? if he knows, like some of the joints we cater, frequently, he asks me first, of course. While I don't subscribe to this as a MUST I can speak for myself but I'm first to order, unless I can't make up my mind and then I'll say "you order first while I decide" and if there's any needs at the table, that's his task to flag down the waiter, it emasculates him if you're jumping up and whistling down the waiter, plus it's unlady like, etc... ). Don’t humiliate guys by trying to pay for a date. (unless before the bill comes you say "It's my treat" but not in front of the waiter the card's on the table, they're going to give him the bill anyways, 9 times out of 10, hell I have him sign my name, see "emasculate"). for my guy, that varies depending of course! Dating Etiquette for Guys Dates aren’t like cramming for exams; don’t wait until the last minute to ask a girl out. (damn skippy, it's presumptuous that I'll be there waiting on you..and respectful of my making plans etc, that weekend date better be cinched up by Wednesday or I'm was going to have other plans). It’s poor form to honk the car horn to announce your arrival; call for her at the door. (self explanatory! yes it is) Ask her parents when they want her home — and make sure your watch works. (or ask me if I need to be home at a certain time due to work/family obligations, nothing is worse than being up since the crack of dawn and dinner's not until ten and dancing afterwards and I have work the next morning.) It’s only polite to help her don her coat. (while not necessary I can dress myself, it is NICE.) Real gentlemen open car doors for girls — or any door, for that matter. (yup that's how he rolls, and I get fussed at as sometimes like with double doors it's habit, and one I've almost conquered! Now if guy didn't? no biggie, I'm not going to just stand there like a log until he does.) It’s chivalrous to walk between her and the curb. (again just "NICE" ah...he cares that I don't get hurt, that's going above and beyond and while not required, it was/is nice!) Bring enough money along. (no shit! or the convenient "forgot my wallet" He actually did one time and he felt so badly about it, it was in his bike and he'd picked me up in the truck, it's OK this one's mine" alieviated that one. It was genuine, the cheap bastard one, not so much!You might be washing dishes after I've paid mine and left! Some pull that crap one too many times! you can't afford the place for TWO don't ask me there! Same goes for me.. If I want to go to an overly pricey trendy place I said it was "on me" or ordering the most EXPENSIVE item on the menu, I was taught to NOT do that, unless when discussing the dishes, he says "I"m having the lobster (or whatever it is) doesn't that sound good" you can gauge if he can afford the meal, it's just polite! I've seen the poor guy ordering a salad or appetizer because she went overboard on ordering a 5 course meal. That's not cool nor polite!) No kissing on the first date. (well ok sometimes it's not a date if you don't!! He's a perfect gentleman about it though, it's a kiss not a big tongue and grope event!It's romantic and awesome, why not!! no tonsil hockey, just a lingering kiss to keep that chemistry going!) On prom night, don’t leave the corsage in the fridge. ( right! well ok my Prom days are long over!But I will say when he'd bring me flowers I'd go put them in water while he paced about nervously!! Vases I have tons of!! the poor guy that came to my door with them, after seeing me on POF, he had them in the vase, it's courteous and they stay fresher longer. I noticed and appreciated that, he's a peach and available Houston ladies, He's going out with a gal I met at the nail salon this weekend!!

jb_13 Elk Grove Village, IL 29, joined Mar. 2013	Quote from primatx: Many of the quaint rituals of dating in the 1950's show common courtesy that is lacking today. Would you like to see any of these rules brought back? Dating Etiquette for Girls Only floozies ask guys out. When someone asks you out, it’s polite to give an immediate answer. Never break a date without providing a valid reason. There’s no such thing as fashionably late; be ready when your date arrives. It’s only proper to introduce your date to your parents. Don’t apply makeup in public (please see first point). At a restaurant, it’s ladylike to tell a date what you want for dinner, so he can order for you. Don’t humiliate guys by trying to pay for a date. Dating Etiquette for Guys Dates aren’t like cramming for exams; don’t wait until the last minute to ask a girl out. It’s poor form to honk the car horn to announce your arrival; call for her at the door. Ask her parents when they want her home — and make sure your watch works. It’s only polite to help her don her coat. Real gentlemen open car doors for girls — or any door, for that matter. It’s chivalrous to walk between her and the curb. Bring enough money along. No kissing on the first date. On prom night, don’t leave the corsage in the fridge.

Are you going to find yourself a nice low paying secretary job to keep up with ttraditionsof the 50's? My guess is no.

During the free sex, hippie, disco, and Woodstock years. I'm Australian and a 'good little Catholic girl' so Woodstock, free sex and hippie-ism was out...I did love to disco though!

The majority of rap songs are so angry and vulgar, it's no wonder the kids are the way they are. Disco music was fun and happy! I was always happy when I left the disco..kids today want to go out and kill someone after going to a club LOL

I can't disagree with you on that point but some of them are artistic and not vulgar at all. Well, that depends on what you consider vulgar. ^^ When I was in school I knew all the words to "I need love"

mrld_ii Stockton, CA 54, joined May. 2011	Funny how people - including the OP - missed how most of the dating rules posted were geared towards teenagers...as people typically got married soon after graduating high school, thus eliminating the need for dating as adults. Haven't been asked to a prom in a long, long, LONG time. Do I miss all those standards? Absolutely not. Most of the other rules, I still observe, in those I date AND in myself: it's called 'having common courtesy when relating to another human being'.

Of course,both my boys were and are gentlemen. Yet there were some changes even then(over forty years ago). Now,after even more time has passed,most of these rules are worthless. And yes being a gentleman never goes out of style.
