Money and Spending: Remember there is a nice balance between extravagant and cheap. There are certain occasions in which it is appropriate to splurge, but other than that, be sure to set some money to the side for future use.
Time: I would suggest a few years. You never can really know a person. It's good to be cautious, because once in a marriage situation it's difficult to get out and at times, there could be children involved.
First Date Rules:
1) Don't kiss until perhaps the last few moments, observe her and try to assess the vibe she is letting off, that way you can indicate whether it is what she wants or not.
2) The same goes for holding hands, hugging, etc. All things of the affectionate nature should be properly thought out before done.
Remember: First dates lead to second dates, if you fail at the first one, you may never get the second chance. Try and be open with her, perhaps she will understand that you were nervous if you made a mistake.
Why do you not like the end result? Perhaps you're not cautious enough. I'm not saying go lock yourself up in your closet and never coming out, rather try and get to know the person the best you can before making a real commitment of any nature.

Don't trust easily, and don't expect too much let yourself open up slowly. Calling/TXT a few times randomly a week is okay. Once dating see eachother once or twice a week is plenty. Date at least a year before considering marriage. Be polite, listen, fill in any awkward pauses with meaningless light conversation. Usually I want the guy to drive if we go out, and then I offer to pay for what we do. That works out good most of the time.

Spending time with someone is not the real issue but spending QUALITY time is. Marriage involves commitments and living with someone seeing the good and the bad. Communications with someone and understanding their personal beliefs and feelings various things is also important. How you handle disagreements is also very important so discussions that lead to disagreements is not always that bad. Not everyone believes the same in politics, religion, sports etc.... You aren't looking to break up with someone or scare them off but you also need to be able to communicate with someone and understand them and their beliefs before committing to be this ones life long soul mate or partner. As a man I also believe it is the man's place to treat the woman on a date. There may come times when she wants to pay or give you a gift but to me the norm should be you treat her and make her feel special by your gifts and treats.

If your dating, never bring up past relationships.
If you know you don't like a girl, let her know from the get go, don't waist hers and your time, she might feel the same way.
Big No! No! Don't pay more attention to your car than to your girl.
Only bring her home to meet the parents if it's very serious.
Always use protection, better to be safe than sorry.
Never lay a hand on a person you say you love (beat).
If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything.
White lies are allowed. "No babe your not fat"
For married couples.
Once your married, your money is combined.
Don't always worry about paying bills, its stressful and bills aren't going anywhere, i promise. Of course pay them but if they aren't always on time. It's o.k. Go to the movies. They can wait.
No girls night out, no guys night out. It only created problems.
Never bring a girl or guy into your home (to stay for a while)
Find married couples to hang out with. Peer pressure and Singles don't mix with married people.
Be open minded, honest, and willing to work to make it last.
Don't give up so easily, And last but not least Never go to bed mad!! Even if it means staying up until 8:00a.m. and having to be at work by 10:a.m.

Date a good friend, not a stranger.
Make dates fun not expensive.
Have an out of town weekend date before you marry.
Don't say "I love you" until you've had a few good fights, forgive and make up.
Marry only for love!!!!

one of the best rules for dating and marriage is to be honest with eachother, no hiding things from your spouse anything you think she should know tell her straight up because it hurts more for her to find out, and be faithful, cheating isn't good in a relationship.

The "waiter principle". If a person isn't nice to other people, they will eventually turn on you too.
