Now dating has a lot of unspoken rules but men might have to break out their pen and paper to keep up with the latest addition of demands.
A furious debate has been sparked on Instagram after a list was compiled by a group of women of the 28 places men shouldn’t take them on a first date.
The list has begun to circulate on social media with everyone and their grandma weighing in on which entries they do and don’t agree with.

It was shared on Instagram on Tuesday (24 October) by the page @duvalpromo and has so far proven very divisive in the comments section.
Some users supported a handful of entries while others have rubbished the entire list. It is not clear if the entries are given in order or not, however.
The list is made up of popular American restaurant food franchises but also traditional date activities. The post also stated that it was made by women who reached out with their own suggestions.
It's worth mentioning that this obviously doesn't apply to all women, just the select few who submitted their own preferences.

The Instagram page began the conversation by joking in the caption: "((Thoughts))? Ladies ain’t no way y’all becoming this picky, we need to know."
Some users remarked that the whole list idea was ludicrous as the date should be focused on getting to know one another.
One user wrote: "It really doesn’t matter to where we go on date as long I get to spend time with the person that’s all that matters."
Another added: "What y’all so bougie, this is why man don’t want y’all now. If y’all just don’t be grateful and be happy that he’s even trying to spend money on you."

While a third said: “Baby, take me to any restaurant or church I need you to stimulate my mind matter of fact I’ll treat you to dinner."
Some social media users took particular issue with Church being on the list, with many defending the date choice as it would likely be suggested if the individual was religious themselves, a deal-breaking quality for some daters.
“Church???? Um what I’m sorry but I would be happy if I get taken on the first date to Church." one Instagram user wrote.
What do you think of the list?
