It shouldn't be an interview. Enjoy the date; don't ask too many questions. Bethenny says, "Keep it light and bright." When you're younger, you tell people your whole life story, and as you get older, you realize men don't want to hear that on a first date. (Let's be honest, do you want to know about your date's first pet and how he sucked his thumb until fifth grade? We didn't think so).

Let's face it, ladies, being single is hard. Whether you're looking for a relationship or trying to get over a recent breakup, being single means figuring out what you like to do. Basically, it's dating yourself. Now, you may not love being single as much as Loni loves it, but that doesn't mean you can't use her tips to find yourself... and your perfect mate along the way.

Loni, author of "Love Him or Leave Him, But Don't Get Stuck with the Tab," has a foolproof list of dos and don'ts for dating and relationships. Loni loves her career and likes dating multiple men, so she calls herself a "satisfied single." She's living in the now and believes that this attitude actually attracts men to her. She isn't looking for a man to be her world, she's looking for a relationship to enhance her current lifestyle.

Every woman and every situation is different. Just always ask yourself, "What is it that I want?" Owning what you want and being in charge of what you get are the ultimate dating dos.
