So many people around us could be a potential date. A lot of times we don't even see them because they are so close or maybe we believe they are not our type. Truth is, we will never know unless we give them a change. When it comes to dating, it can be confusing, though. Even once we have found a date we may not know what to do.

Dating can bring up a lot of potential issues. We may not be sure about the roles in dating. Who pays for what? Who asks who out? What should a man do? What should a woman do? As confusing as these questions are, there is some method to the madness. The following advice should help you sort out some of the leading questions that most modern daters have.

Men should not be the only ones asking for dates. Women can just as easily ask a man out. Don't worry, the man will most likely be glad because it can be one of the hardest things for a guy to do.

When it comes to who should foot the bill- the answer is still the man. Don't let the woman lose respect for you that quickly. She may seem okay with it- but what she really is thinking is that you may not have enough money to support her.

Making plans for the date is still the man's job. Make it special for the woman. Show her that you put some effort into your date.

Hopefully these rules can help you. The roles of men and women in dating have not changed all that much. Women still want to feel like the man can take care of them. Know the rules and treat each other with respect- your date should go a lot more smoothly this way. Good luck.
