For me it's like the key to a great job interview. Remembering at all times that *you* are interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you. Meeting someone for dinner does not mean anything more than spending time together. It doesn't mean marriage, it is not a promise for sex, it isn't even a promise for another date. You just take it as it comes.
The only rules I've stuck to are treat people like you'd want to be treated. If there is no chemistry, just be gracious but firm about not pursuing a relationship.
