Old-Fashioned Dating Etiquette We Need to Bring Back ASAP

Sometimes it seems like these gestures might be gone forever.

6) Dress Up

This is such a wonderful memory for many of us – getting all dressed up to go on a special date. And what a great feeling when they came to the door all dressed up, too!

7) Come to the Door

If you’re picking up your date then coming to the door is a nice touch, something that was expected back in the ’50s and ’60s.
