1. Do try to look your best and be punctual on dates
2. Do have fun when dating. I know the subject of Mr. or Miss Right is serious but dating is fun too so keep it that way.
3. Do flatter and compliment your date on the way they look and the things they wear. People tend to go to a lot of effort on a date (hopefully) so being told that you are looking good is a nice thing to hear.
4. Be interested and interesting. As the Pet Shop Boys once said, I was never bored because I was never being boring" or something similar. You get my drift.
5. Do tell someone if you are not interested in dating them again. Being lied to and hopes kept alive is an evil and malicious act (yes I mean it that strongly). If you don't want to see someone again then let them know that in the nicest possible way you can.
6. Do date the type of people you like and are attracted to, whatever your friends may say. Approval by your peers doesn't prove a thing.
7. Do stay positive even when dates don't end well. It is most certainly true that you will date a few frogs before you find a prince. Along the way you will meet some nice people too and make some good contacts possibly.
8. Dating is a creative diversion, it requires concentration and energy so when you are dating keep some plans in the forefront of your mind and allow dating to take you to places you always wanted to visit within your own city.
9. Do make dating happen for yourself. People will not come and ring your bell from nowhere. Dating requires positive action so go out there and meet people, as many people as you can. Practice your chat and flirting on shop workers, bar attendants, anywhere and everywhere. Being nice to people is very sexy and great fun.
10. Do surround yourself with positive like minded people who are also dating. Think about the girls from Sex and the City and how they assist each other in dating and matters of romance. Negative friends who don't condone the dating scene or don't understand it will only help lower your own expectations and make you feel negative.
This is something I found on the Internet and to provide food for thought. Feel free to ad more rules like 11,12, and so forth. Not looking for gender bashing or drama stories but helpful rule that you pick up along the way to share with others!

12. If you are the one driving make sure the car is clean inside and presentable. Doesn’t have to be new, just have your old MickyD’s food bags and multiple coffee cups stacked in a way not to fall on you or the passenger. City guys of gals if the birds took a liken to your shiny car then run it through the car wash a couple of times. Country guys and gals just kick off a couple of layers of that mud. Motorcycles guys and gals have a face plate on the passenger helmet so that they don’t have to pick the bugs out of their teeth before eating or kissing.

AAAGHHHHHH Dwain!! 
Enough of these "do's" and "don'ts" about dating!! 
I can't possibly remember them all if and when I ever do go out on a date..
Can't we just have a "Reader's Digest" version of these PLEASE?
I just can't write all these down on the palm of my hand.

All these 'do's and don't' sort of remind me of women who's profiles go into painful detail about 'must haves' and 'deal breakers.'
Be nice, be curtious, and be yourself. AND enjoy yourself! Don't be schlump!
After that, who knows?

I am sorry for the frustration! I was just trying to inject some thought besides “Is belly button lint good or bad in a mate?”

Rachel, dates are numbers you find on calendars....
And here in Florida, they're little orange fruits you find on a certain type of palm tree....
