There's a whole lot of superfluous dating advice out there, but I find that these simple dos and don'ts work like a charm:
1. Do wear wear stilettos. Avoid sidewalk cracks and unexpected downpours.
2. Don't order spaghetti and meatballs. Trust me, it's a tragedy waiting to happen.
3. Do tell jokes, but stay away from that one about the one-eyed pirate. Way too dirty.
4. Don't drink absinthe then go on carnival rides. (I definitely learned this one the hard way.)
5. Do have a little mood lighting ready to go:

This battery-powered lampshade pops on top of any glass (though a wine glass gets sexy points) for instant mood lighting. How can you lose?
