When picking a date, prioritize traits and proofs that can be displayed effectively, rather than spending a lot of money or going to expensive places.

The Purpose of Dating
Dating is an opportunity for both individuals to evaluate each other, showcasing their traits and proofs through conversation, activities, and a good experience. The specific details of the date don't matter as much as creating a context for verbal courtship and connection.
Considerations in Choosing a Date
When picking a date, it's important to prioritize traits and proofs that can be displayed effectively, rather than focusing on spending a lot of money or going to expensive places. Fun activities create a positive experience and serve as social proof for women to share with their friends.
Dating Etiquette and Physical Contact
Dating etiquette is about displaying considerate and reliable traits, rather than following specific rules. Understanding a woman's intention through her clothing choices is crucial. Physical contact on a date is purposeful and signals moving toward a potential first kiss. Handling moments of awkwardness with smooth recovery is key.
