Ever asked someone for a date? If you are single and answer NO! These are finesse ways for a first date.
Go someplace where you can talk. Consider a museum his/her reaction to the art will give a sense of how he/she thinks. Choose any convenient meet for your first date.
Keep the conversation light and easy, as if you were getting to know a new friend.
Reveal something about yourself. What you want to be when you are married? Among other pep talk. Unless you two spontaneously plan another rendezvous, do not decide whether there will be a second date until you have had a couple of days to process the first one. And do not be afraid to ask her/his out again.
