First date do's/dont's

So sometimes at my internship we have really awesome/strange/random conversations and this would be what we talked about today...

• Tardiness/ late policy -- If you show up late for the date there had better be a d*** good excuse or some very nice flowers, and even then we reserve the right to not accept either option.
• Q & A -- Don't type/ make a list of things you'd like to know/learn about the person. Awkward first date questions are a given, they go with the territory but for real let's not make the Q & A session anymore painful...
• What type of date/when--Lunch dates aren't a good option because they limit you. (Chances are you're on a lunch break and you've got like an hour tops so that's no good...) Dinner is always a good option as is coffee or a combination of the two. Just avoid the movies because it won't let you do a lot other than sit in silence or well you get the idea...
• Co-workers/office mates/ building buddies... all of the above are a no-go on the dating front. That whole mixing business/ pleasure gets complicated fast because if/when it doesn't work out it creates an awkward work environment.
• End of the date protocol -- You have to close the date somehow, just standing there is awkward and walking away pretty much says " well thanks this was nice but let's not do it ever again..." a handshake is forbidden - it's like saying the date was a business transaction and well that's great if you're co-workers but that isn't allowed so... that leaves us with the hug, sidehug, kiss on the cheek, or legit kiss options so it's up to you to decide just do something...
