I’m always asked “What should I wear on my date?” The answer is always, “It depends.” Where are you going on your date?  What will you be doing?  If you are going to the Opera I would suggest something very different than if you are going to a Rockies or Bronco’s game. The Dinner Date By far though the most common date is the dinner date or lunch date.  These are a little more difficult to figure out what to wear.  Denver is a casual town and you’ll see jeans everywhere you go (including the theater and opera).  This makes being single…

Ladies, you've dated them, and guys, you might recognize if you've been one - The Puppy Dog.  That guy that is "too nice" after or during a first date.  He tries too hard, pays too many compliments, gushes about how wonderful she is, and just seems downright forlorn when the date ends - thus the puppy dog eyes. Mystery Gentlemen, pay attention - - ladies like a little mystery, a little intrigue, a little hard to get, but (and this is a big BUT), they also like nice guys.  So if you are a nice guy, how do you balance…

One of my clients was talking to me about a conversation she recently had where the guy was asking her what she was looking for in a man.  She mentioned intelligence, humor, stable both financially and emotionally but told him she didn't really care what he looked like or how tall he was.

Denver is a pretty casual town, generally laid back and relaxed, but seriously folks, if you are single and dating in Denver are you so casual that you lose sight of common courtesy?  I've recently heard from both men and women about how manners and common courtesy seem to be a thing of the past these days, due in part to technology. Read on, I'd love your opinion! Don't be Rude or Wimpy. Ah, the infamous wimpy way out - I'll just let him/her know via email or text message that I don't want to see him/her anymore.  Hey, at least I'm…

Date Etiquette Whether you are dating in Denver or single somewhere else in the world, everyone gets nervous before a first date.  There is advice galore out there for what to do and not to do on a first date.  But all of that advice is useless if you don't start the date off on time. What Time Should You Arrive for a Date? Early? Right on time? Fashionably late? My advice is 5 minutes early.  Why is that?  Well, think about it.  You are waiting at the bar for your date to arrive.  Maybe you have been stood up before, maybe you…
