Not really a date

It seems some men (Perhaps women too?) are confused on what, exactly, constitutes a date. Allow me to help clarify.

It's not a date if...

• You invite me to meet you at a deserted football field.

  

  Found it here

• You invite me to meet you at work.
• You invite me to meet you anywhere that is potentially unsafe. This includes locations that are secluded, or otherwise attractive to serial killers.
• You spend the entire time on your phone.
• You invite me anywhere, and then ask me to pay and/or pick you up.
• You refuse to agree to a time and/or place until the last minute.
• You show up dirty and/or stinky.
• You invite me to drive to you - and then sit in my car.
• We've never met, barely talked, yet you invite me to your home.

There are obviously exceptions. However - it's only an exception if the non-date is quickly followed up with plans for a real date.

Also - please don't misunderstand. While I appreciate someone paying for me, it's not expected, or even necessary. There are ways to have a perfectly nice, actual date, and spend very little (or no) money.

Also -  yes, these have all happened to me.
