" 1. &amp;quot;Does She Always Talk This Much?&amp;quot; It can&amp;#039;t be repeated enough: Guys have a low threshold for mindless chatter. If you&amp;#039;re rambling on about your friends, coworkers, or anything you read on a gossip site, he&amp;#039;s gonna feign interest, then fake an emergency doctor&amp;#039;s appointment. Stick to asking him about bigger-picture topics, such as music and movies he digs, or what his friends are like. 2. &amp;quot;Can I Afford Her?&amp;quot; Think twice before ordering a Petron margarita. When you start with a pricey cocktail or appetizer, dudes hear that ching-ching cash register sound in their heads\u2014they think you&amp;#039;re going to be too effing expensive to take out all the time. Unless he orders a fancy drink or dish first, stick with standard fare, and save the $$$ orders for when he&amp;#039;s already smitten. 3. &amp;quot;Is She Gonna Tweet About This?&amp;quot; After a first date, guys worry that you&amp;#039;ll go all Carrie Bradshaw on them\u2014you&amp;#039;ll critique their every word and move on Facebook, on your blog, or on the phone with your girlfriends. To assure him you&amp;#039;re not simply gathering material for your next man-bashing girls&amp;#039; brunch, do not hate on their kind (&amp;quot;what is it with you men?&amp;quot;), do not pause mid-date to update your FB status (it will just make him think you&amp;#039;re posting something about him), and, for the love of God, do not mention that you aspire to be a dating blogger one day. 4. &amp;quot;Can I Bring Her Home to Mom?&amp;quot; When guys first meet you, they picture you naked\u2014you know this. But here&amp;#039;s the kinda cute part: If they get a good vibe from you from the get-go, they&amp;#039;re also picturing what their mom will think of you. To get Mother Approval right away, hold off on the F-bombs and plunging tops until the third or fourth date, when he already knows you&amp;#039;re capable of at least pretending you&amp;#039;re a perfect angel. 5. &amp;quot;Can She Hang With My Buddies?&amp;quot; Men want to date women who can chill with the guys. If you&amp;#039;re critical of the food, mean to the waitress, or uptight in any way, he&amp;#039;ll conclude that you might be a drag around his boys. Not only is it a turnoff, he&amp;#039;ll get crap from them about it, and he doesn&amp;#039;t want that. Be sure to show off your easygoing attitude so he&amp;#039;ll know his pals will totally dig your presence. 6. &amp;quot;Can I Make a Move Tonight?&amp;quot; Sex. Sex. Sex. Yeah, it&amp;#039;s running through his mind even as he&amp;#039;s asking where you grew up and the name of your favorite childhood pet. And while most men won&amp;#039;t try to sleep with you on the first date\u2014they know enough to play the respectful guy card\u2014they are still looking for affirmation that you also feel some chemistry and won&amp;#039;t hold off on hooking up soon. So if you&amp;#039;re feeling it, give him a subtle signal\u2014like an upper-arm or wrist touch or a flirty smile. That way he knows you&amp;#039;re on the same page...and you&amp;#039;re guaranteed a date number two.
