    Please don’t “look her up and down”. Nobody I know would want to be checked out by an acquaintance or first date like that, and she is most certainly not “unconsciously” seeing you check her out. She’s painfully aware of it.

    If it’s someone you’re actually dating already for a few months, then different story. But if it’s a stranger you’re on your first date with, then please don’t do this.

      Okay, but is it really going to be uncomfortable if she literally asked you to rate her? Doesn’t that require some kind of appraisal?

      If someone asks for a rating, aren’t they requesting at least a moment of being “checked out”?

      If I’m off the mark, well, I guess I’m just glad I got the whole dating/flirting thing right once, because if I had to leave my long-term relationship and try again… Well, I think I’d do a poor job.
