Ladies, Get Off Your High Heels

It’s 2017, yet there are so many old fashioned notions about dating that existed when my grandfather was courting my grandfather —  in the ‘50s. Don’t be the one who pursues a guy, that looks desperate. Let him pursue you. You shouldn’t kiss one a first date. The guy should be the one paying.
