Is old-fashioned romance dead? No. It refuses to die. In fact don’t call it old-fashioned, its just romance.

What you never should say on a first date 🙊 First dates are like job interviews. They should be constructive and positive. They should be the truth, but stick to the good side of the truth. When I say the truth, please don’t say on a date, “By the way, I have a nasty habit of leaving my towel on the floor, of not closing jars, of forgetting to pay bills on time, or raising my voice and swearing a lot when I totally lose it, of kicking the dog…” That might be the truth, but that’s not really a p Pop Art Vintage

I would say that the golden rules of etiquette are that the gentleman pays. This is the traditional outlook, assuming that a first date is two semi-strangers, one asking the other.
