It is customary to start a series of dates with plenty of entertainment, a moderate amount of food and the slightest sign of affection. As the level of affection increases, entertainment can be proportionately reduced. When affection IS entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances should this meal be skipped.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<cite><strong>Judith Martin<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 id=\"B\u0105d\u017a\">Be authentic<\/h2>\n\n<p>Nothing will make a date more successful than your authenticity.
