Common courtesy demands that if your doll airs you, she rates one day to return. (Unless you have to catch a train home that day—then give her two hours.) If she doesn't show up, find a stand-in. Census bureau says there will be 750,000 more does than stags in this postwar world.
When you take a likely candidate to the Stork or El Morocco, don't try to impress her with your friendship with big shots by introducing her to a movie star or millionaire playboy. She'll probably end up with him—instead of you.
But if she rhapsodizes about a good-looking guy or celeb at another table, go and bring him over and tell him in front of her that your little friend goes for him. She'll be terribly embarrassed.
(Confessions of a Cautious Cutie: Yes, but she'll slip him her phone number, too.)
If you get your dates mixed up and end up with two Little Red Riding Hoods on the same party, don't explain. Smile in a superior way and let the pigeons fight over you—not you over them.
Never enthuse to a fellow wolf about your latest conquest—unless you're trying to lose her.
If you are with a new pretty, tip the headwaiter NOT to give you a ringside table in full view of the other wolves.
Do not let her dance with your pals. Let them dig their own. Be a good fellow, but not that good.
Don't introduce her at all if you can get out of it.
