First off, I am not an expert, I have just had experience. So, don’t take everything out of this article and think that it will work out fine. Just take some notes and try for yourself!

Location:
The most common question about the first date is the where abouts. For most people, it is hard to choose a place to meet up so that you both feel comfortable, and she may not always pitch in ideas, so its up to you to find the perfect first date location.

Something to keep in mind:
Be creative. It is not exciting to go to a movie and stare at a screen for two and a half hours, not a good idea to get acquainted. On the other hand, you do not want to end up starring at each other for three hours with nothing to say. Perhaps a short daytime meeting, such as a lunch/dinner. There you may get to know each other and not feel to awkward in thinking of what to do all day long. Remember, just be yourself. It comes very easily.

Other locations:

• Zoo
• Movie (If its more exciting and you both are enjoying it, instead of just watching something dumb.)
• Beach
• Someplace with a pool table if you both like pool.
• Mini Golf
• Concert
• Amusement Park
• Party (Small)

Clothes:
Next thing to think about is, what to wear. Clothing should be a concern before you go out on your first date. You do not want her to get the first impression that you are a slob. Wear clothes that make you feel good. New would be nice, but if they are not new, make sure they are clean and do not smell like last nights dinner. Also make sure that your clothes fit you well. Just look presentable. You are in public.

Feelings:
OK, this is one of the easiest parts to get through. Compliment them, and make them feel good about themselves. Say something about her hair, eyes, or shoes, but make sure you mean it. It is not hard to tell if a person actually means it or is just saying it. Plus, if you like them, it should not be that hard. If it is impossible to find something nice to say, then you should not be out on the date. Shows how much you care.

More things to keep in mind:

• Don’t overprice your first date.
• Find a place with a talkable space.
• Keep it comfy.
• Make sure it is easy to find.
• Keep it Non-Alcoholic.
• Allow some time to interact with each other.
• Make it enjoyable.
• Don’t get caught up in a past relationship. (Just do not bring it up.)
• Don’t complain.
• Stay Positive.
• Have Fun!

Manners:
The last, but one of the most important things that you should know. Be nice to your date, she will enjoy it more. Say thank you for the date, it may sound dumb at first, but it is common sense. Human Kindness gets you a far way. Also, make sure that you are at the date and not daydreaming about something, and do not wonder your eyes. She will think you are not interested. Listen to everything she has to say, and do your best not to interrupt her.

The Kiss:
Do not always expect a kiss after the first date. Not all girls like that. Try not to rush things, and if it looks like she wants it then go for it! Just be careful, if you got the wrong timing then you most likely be screwed. Also, make sure not to ask for it, it turns out kind of wierd.

Extra Tip: The date is going to be as smooth as you make it. If you get all worried about how boring the date is, then it might be awkward when trying to make a conversation. Don’t over do it, and just act like she is one of your good friends. Just don’t “fool” around with her unless you know it is alright.

It is not hard to go out on a first date. Just stay confident and everything usually plays itself out. If it does not work out, you can either try again or go to a different person. Just don’t get stuck on that someone that you have that crush on.
