Back in the 1980's USA noetwork had a collection of dating do's and
Don'ts that showed various clips from the 50's and 60's about dating. 
It was pretty humorous.  I'd love to see it again

Hello.

There seem to be at two classic dating films that were shown on USA's
Night Flight:

(1) "Dating Do's and Don'ts" (1949)
(2) "What to Do On a Date" (1951)

Sources:

 "... it must be DATING DO'S AND DON'TS, which may or may not have
been written and directed by the one . . . the only . . . Mr. Edward
D. Wood, Jr!  (there are a few potential clues, including the fact
that the two lead guys are named "Eddie" and "Woody") I have a
fragment of this somewhere on an old Beta tape (from a USA "Night
Flight" of the early 80s),"

"'What To Do On a Date' (wonderfully stiff dialogue, I think they used
this
one on Night Flight)"

I don't believe that any particular video contains both of these films
together. However, they are available separately.
