3. Check your makeup at the table. As far as your date is concerned, you look beautiful … until you start fussing about it. If you must freshen up, go to the restroom but now every five minutes. And remember what I said before: There’s no need to go over the top. Don’t return from the bathroom looking like a completely different person from when you left. 4. Freak out if he teases you about something. There’s a big difference between cruelty and a joke. If you tell a funny story about getting lost on a vacation, he may kid you later about your sense of direction. Roll with it. The fact that he feels comfortable enough to make a little joke around you is a good sign. 5. Have bad table manners. This is basic stuff that should be true whenever you go out to eat. But of course, it’s highlighted even more on a date. Cover your mouth when you yawn. Don’t chew gum. And, please, whatever you do, don’t talk with food in your mouth. It’s beyond gross. 6. Ignore him. Let’s assume your date has been nice enough to give you the comfortable seat on the banquette that looks out on all the beautiful people at the restaurant. So don’t then spend the evening checking out all those people that you’re NOT eating with (even if one of them is Matthew McConaughey). Look at your date. Note: George Clooney is the only exception to this rule because, like you, men think he’s the coolest person in the world.
