Inquirer writers Jennifer Moroz and Matthew P. Blanchard report from the dating scene on some quirks, jerks and other tell-tale signs that this date will or won't work out. What makes the red flag come up for you?

I'm 33 and I've never dated anybody, really, but this gives me a certain objectivity from what I observe in others. So, if you'll allow me:

1.) Too much emphasis and adoration seem is spent on sex. Too many sexually active people put sex at the center of their relationships, adhering to ridiculous "rules" such as what you simply "MUST" do at the end of the first, second, and third date if the relationship is to go anywhere.

2.) A date should be special. You should have some sort of feelings for the person before you go out with her/him. If you're just going out to meet somebody, don't call it a date.

3.) Both people should be equally kind and generous toward the other. Each should want to hold the door. Each should pay his/her own way. Love should be mutual and reciprocated. If one person is doing all of the giving, then it's not love, but rather a master-and-servant relationship.
