Best Dating Advice Ever
We are tempted to say it is "Have fun!"If you are looking for a serious relationship, though, having fun is only the second most important. It is probably the most difficult part, though. Dating should be fun... but it is normally stressful. (If you are feeling you are the only one who is stressing about dates, you can relax. You are not alone.)
If you are looking for a serious relationship, the stress factor goes up even further. That's bad enough, but worse it might lead you to break the most important rule: BE YOURSELF.
If your aim is to find Mr. or Mrs. Keeper (to borrow a phrase from one of our regular readers), then you might be tempted to come across as someone you are not. That can be a real mistake later, when the person you married finds out that you are not the package that they were expecting. Ouch!
Sadly, it happens a lot, even to people who weren't trying to mislead. Premarriage courses can be really helpful here, to get at any undiscovered differences that could lead to later conflict.
Just to be clear: we are not saying that you should show up to a first date in ratty old sweatpants. Of course you should put your best foot forward. The person you are going on the date with is special and deserves a little extra attention. But do be true to yourself.
You deserve to end up with someone who is compatible.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!

I have a notebook full of questions I have collected in the past 10 years. I had a moment in time to use them in getting to know a 'PreciousGift'. I added a question about sick that you had talked about.
I had a roommate in college .. yikes, we were polar opposites when we were sick. very true to get to know the 'sickie' side of the person =)
