1. Exchange names-first, middle, last, embarrasing childhood nicknames, the works.
2. Pay some attention to your bodies' un-private parts-stroke the inside of his wrist, feel his fingers trail across your collarbone-and notice how they start to feel private.
3. Slow dance. It's foreplay on your feet.
4. Disagree. Democrat or Republican? The Godfather I or II? To-may-toe or to-mah-toe? Win, lose or draw, just be sure you argue your side with smarts and passion.
5. Play scrabble or checkers or tiddlywinks-it can be a battle of wits or skill, as long as it's a battle.
6. Swap dirty jokes. (Feel too dirty? Heck, girl, what do you think sex is gonna feel like?)
7. Tease him. Get teased back.
8. Meet each other's pets. Family can wait.
9. Send e-mails during the workday. Easy on the emoticons.
10. Have the sexual history talk. Yes, you have to.
11. Cook dinner together. Don't know a pinch from a smidgen? Doesn't matter, as long as the recipe's one part you and one part him.
And last, but, not least...
12. Help him with condom-you do have a condom, right?
