Bear in mind those times when your parents would sit you down and present their wisdom concerning dating, offering a blend of advice that seemed both complex and classic? "Be a gentleman," they 'd claim, or "Always let her order first," echoing the vintage etiquette rules they adhered to in their youth. While their intentions were rooted in care and practice, the dating world has evolved, and sticking rigidly to their rules could not serve you well. In fact, authenticity usually exceeds adherence to a rulebook; if you act solely according to a person else's descriptions or a messy old dating guidebook, you could locate yourself in a quagmire of miscommunication and awkwardness.
