Eh, I disagree with the no sex on the first date thing. I think it's entirely a "your mileage may vary" situation. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

As for rules/guidelines:

1. Be sanitary. If you are an unsanitary person I won't be interested. Mess to an extent is fine, but I hate seeing dirty dishes and lots of clothes lying around, etc.

2. Be able to accept differences and spending time apart with friends / other people. I'm good at accepting people for who they are, you should be too.

3. I've started looking for shared interests. I've met up with a few girls recently and it's a whole lot easier to strike up a conversation when you mutual interests. Having a strong interest in music and going to concerts is a big plus.

4. Not be outwardly political / religious.

5. If I'm on a date with you or out in public I'm probably going to pay attention to how you treat waiters/waitresses/other employees.

6. This is just one where I want to state a couple of things I agree with you on. Physically fit and a non-believer in "energy", ghosts and all that nonsense is a must.

7. Be interested in meeting my friends if you're not already in that group of people, and have friends that don't suck. That was a problem in my last relationship.

I'm sure there's others, but there's some off the top of my head for you. Please note that these are all coming from someone who isn't in a relationship and is in a bit of an extended fling situation.
