When the girl or guy you just asked out says yes, you are hit by a
killer feeling. You could bite a tiger if you had to. And yet, only a
few moments later, you find yourself running around like a squirrel
trying to find information on what to do on a first date.
Why is
the first date so important? Because, if you really, really like the
person, you want to make sure that the first date isn't the last one.
You want to go out again, hence, there is this quest for perfection. You
have to be perfect. And if you're not, you think that the person will
think your a jackass, dump you and get the thing over with. More on
dating and dating tips.
What to Do on a Date
Not true. You
can be completely natural, talk normally, NOT show off and yet earn a
second date. Unless of course, you're one of those guys who owns 3
tarantulas or one of those girls who sees ghosts outside their window.
(Kidding!) A lot of people think that the first date is one which
involves great scrutiny. Well it is, but then so is the rest of the
relationship. So relax and go through this small guide on what to do on a
first date. Because, well, you have to plan a little!
What to Do on a First Date with a Girl
Well, since I feel more boys are asking the question what to do on a
first date, it only makes more sense to address their concerns first!
Do not go over the top. Do not go for that fine dining caviar and stuff,
unless of course, that's where you go all the time! Be normal. Take a
good clean bath and dress reasonably well. Don't try a new shirt or a
new hairstyle which you have never tried before. Take a good hard look
in the mirror before leaving. Also don't forget to blow her mind the first time you see her. More on what to wear on a first date.
Now
once you're on a date, act normal. Our dating system demands chivalry,
so open any doors and pull up any chairs which the girl may come across.
After all, you've probably known this person for a while. You've at
least had that one conversation where you asked her out. Ask her about
what she does, what are her likes and dislikes. Be cool. Think of it as
if you're going out with your friends. And most importantly, listen. A
lot of guys start looking elsewhere, fidgeting and yawning when the girl
is talking. What's that all about? Stop it and listen! Back to the
topic about chivalry, guys pay for the first date. Don't ask me why. We
just do.
What to do on a first date at the movies? A lot of us
guys with unbridled libidos might just try their luck in the dark, since
it looks all romantic. Forget about it. No intimacy on the first date.
Don't even put your arm around her. In fact, don't go for horror movies
as it is a recipe for closeness. Don't even see romantic films since you
might give the signal that you want to take the relationship forward.
That's the two things you want to avoid on a date: physical intimacy and
signs that you want to take the relationship forward. In fact, don't go
for a movie at all. I feel that it is one of the worst first date
ideas. Go somewhere you can talk and get to know each other better.

What to Do on a First Date with a Guy
Although I wish there were more such girls who took this effort for
me, there are indeed very few girls who'd look up what to do on a first
date. But then again, I can only dream that it happens one day and write
these basic guidelines on what I, or any other guy would expect from a
girl!
First date tip for girls: dress well. And by well, I do not
mean wear revealing clothes. A lot of girls try too hard and send out a
lot of wrong signals. Dress up decently, but look pretty. Do your hair
really well. Unfortunately, looks matter a lot to us guys, and if we can
try our hands at being chivalrous, you ought to try your best at being
pretty too! Another thing, don't try to be what you're not. Guys aren't
all that dumb. If you know that your date is into basketball, and you
think you can impress him by reading up a little but about the game on
the web, forget it. Because we'll see right through you. Talk about YOUR
likes, and YOUR interests, because that's probably what the guy wants
to know. Don't tell us how the Celtics are doing really well in the
league. We already know that. Maybe you'd like some more relationship
advice for women?
