1.    Never ask someone out on a first date by email, instant messenger or text message. A phone call is always in order.

2.    Emails relating to dating should be brief, upbeat and fun.

3.    It's ok to correspond using email regarding your plans for a date, where you will go, time etc., but always confirm the date by phone--it's much more personal.

4.    It's always nice to hear from someone after a date. If you plan to see them again, a phone call and email is nice. If you are not planning another date, a short, nice email is appropriate.

5.    Never discuss your personal life by email. Remember--emails can be forwarded or read by others. (8% of singles have read their dates personal emails.)

6.    Don't discuss friends you might have in common via email--especially anything negative.

7.    If you've gone out with someone and they are not returning your emails, consider that person not interested. Move on. Remember the trolley car comes around every 5 minutes.

8.    Don't recap details about your date on email with your friends. (22% of singles send personal emails on their work email account%u2026remember your boss can read that.)

9.    If you are not interested in seeing someone again, don't give out your email. Be straight forward at the end of the date and tell them there is no chemistry, but it was great meeting them.

10.    Don't give out a phony email address or phone number--that just isn't a nice thing to do and it's completely unnecessary.
