The secret is not to chase butterflies,

but to take care of the garden

so they'll come to you.

- You teach people how to treat you.

- Look your best. Wear colors like red, pink or leopard. Wear jewelry, makeup, perfume and heels. Make sure that your hair and nails are done.

- If he brings you a gift, say "thank you" and smile.

- Allow him to open the door for you and help you with anything that you have in your hands, to walk on the side of the street that the cars are passing by, to give you his jacket if it's cold and to pull the chair out for you.

- Put the purse in your lap or over the chair. Not on the ground or the floor. Under every bar there's hooks to wrap your purse around.

- Smile, make eye contact and make sure that you're engaged. Put your phone on silent and keep it in your purse. Don't take pictures.

- You don't have to answer any question that you don't want to answer. Just smile or laugh and turn your head. Change the subject. Listen more than you talk. Don't try too hard. Stay away from topics that can be uncomfortable, unhygienic or unpleasant. Avoid topics like personal belifes, politics and religion.

- Allow your date to flag down the waiter. Don't order too much food and don't drink too much alcohol. Not more than one glass of wine or champagne. Order light food and don't overeat.

- Speak in a feminine, soft voice. Have a nice low tone.

- Give compliments but not too many.

- Let him take the lead. Allow it to be silent sometimes. Make eye contact and smile.

- Flirt. Learn from movies and other women. Lean in and tilt your head. Use your body.

- Observe his behaviour towards you, the waiter etc. Take in everything.

- Have manners and etiquette. Take your napkin and dab your face. Make sure that you're not spitting when you're talking or talking with food in your mouth. Be mindful of the noices that you make with your mouth. 

- Always say "excuse me" before you get up from any table. Go to the restroom and touch up your makeup. Make sure nothing is stuck in your teeth.

- Don't reach for the check or ask him what you're going to do with it. If he doesn't pay - it's not a date. 

- Don't complain about anything.

- Allow the man to lead, help and impress you.

- At the end of the date, let him know that you had a nice time, smile and thank him. Be genuine and grateful.

- Let him pursue you, ask you out on another date and start a conversation with you.

What an amount of suffering and cruel

punishment the poor creatures have to

endure in order to give a few moments

of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

We know we cannot be kind to animals

until we stop exploiting them -

exploiting animals in the name of science,

exploiting animals in the name of sport,

exploiting animals in the name of fashion,

and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.
