    #20 - Always Say Yes to the Party from Apr 16, 2014

    [Everyone wants to tell you their rules for dating - when to call, when to text, how to leave, when to get naked - but most of those rules are total crap. Let’s do it better.] [After this show, here's what we came up with:* Always say yes to the party. * Texting is important * Contact within 24 hours after a good first date * Calling is cool even if it's not often expected * Schedule a week between the first and second date * Take your time getting to know someone before you binge date * Don’t rush to make your potential beau meet your friends (or to meet his) * Don’t obsess over the existence of a spark, just enjoy it when it happens, even if it feels like a chest cold * The quality of the first date won’t always be determined by the location * Dinner date for first dates - no way * Make sure you can see the exit * Don't overtext * E-mail is sexy * Skype pre-dates are acceptable, but give a good reason why * Leave your phone in your purse or pocket * When you realize it’s wrong, be human and empathetic -- don't be a dick * Own the awkwardness. (It's always awkward.) * Follow Dan Savage's campsite rule -a first date should never be damaging to someone's self-esteem * White lies are an OK exit strategy * If you feel it won't work out--play up the reason why during the date--eg. if he hates vegetarians, don't pretend to eat meat.] https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/55276
