This past summer I talked with a good guy friend of mine. We discussed his dating habits and he asked for some advice. That night I gave him a few pointers and he made a Dating Memo on his Blackberry. Since then many of my guy friends have come to me in frustration and I have given them some simple advice. I think that many other women have had these same conversations with their guy friends. I have found that advice from the opposite sex can be very enlightening and helpful. So this blog posting will be dedicated to give the opposite sex some dating advice/tips. I will write some and I hope that the rest of you will comment and add your own.* I really do hope that I get to hear from some of you. I am sure that what you say would be funny and some what enlightening.
MEMO
1. Follow through. Enough said.
2. Every woman wants to feel like she is special and beautiful. Make her feel special by what you say, how you treat her, and little surprises.
3. Be genuinely interested in getting to know her and listening to what she is saying.
4. Share your own thoughts, interests, and insights. Make it personal, not confessional.
5. Be prompt. On dates, phone calls, etc. It shows your respect for them.
6. Remind yourself that you are not nervous. You are just excited. Calm confidence is very appealing.
7. Dress sharp.
8. Make your date laugh.
9. Don't be nice....but be kind.
10. Have a plan. Women like to know that men have put some thought and effort into their time with you.
*Constructive criticism only. This is not the place for negativity or venting. Please note that I am not perfect at this. I am simply having a conversation regarding the skills of dating.

I recommend minding your own temperatures before checking everyone elses.
I repeat "This is not the place for negativity or venting. Please note that I am not perfect at this. I am simply having a conversation regarding the skills of dating."
Far be it from me to give advice on dating. But I think you just have to use common sense in how you treat the opposite sex. Beyond that I have no clue. I thought your list was pretty thorough though.
P.S. Take it easy on Daniel Nelson.
