Granted I've been out of this game for a long time but that doesn't stop me from commenting on the subject of dating etiquette. As I have noted in previous TOR posts, there are many different steps to the speed of dating which seem to vary greatly between races, religions, age groups and gay and straight dating cycles.
Some people put out more quickly other's are prudes. Some introduce their new partners to their parents almost immediately while other people refuse to ever acknowledge being in a relationship.
One thing is for sure though, regardless of who you are, you should hold to the following hard rule. Never make plans with a new chick which is planned further-out than the amount of time you guys have dated.
Basically you need to have gone through at least two continues seasons like winter and spring if you want to make plans in the fall. Relationships are hard and most fail so unless you are prepared to go to the Alicia Keys show alone, you have to be realistic.
Let me explain. If you are dating a girl for 3 weeks don't make plans for a vacation in St Lucia six months from now or you're likely to have two tickets, a heart shaped hot-tub and a bottle of bubbly for you to drown your sorrows into.
No camping trip plans for late spring can be made in February if your first kiss was under a mistletoe.
You can't make Christmas plans during an Indian Summer when you started knocking-boots after the Fourth of July
No discussion of turkey stuffing in July if you started to stuff your turkey after baseball season started.
Now after a year all bets are off!! But before that you need to think with your start thinking with your head not your heart.
