You'll laugh... I'm with your mother on this one. At least as far as first dates go. But I'm pretty old-fashioned myself.
When I first meet a guy, the closest I would come to asking him out would be, "here's my number, we should have lunch some time." I leave the ball in his court as to the actual "do you want to have lunch/drinks/dinner?" call.
And he should pay, open the car door, let me sit down first at the table... And first date means a kiss goodnight, no invitations upstairs, etc. If he likes and respects me (and expects to see me again) he can wait to get in my pants.
I know, hopelessly backwards of me, but it's the way I grew up.
