It is very important to keep in mind that your first date is a discovery
period for both you and your potential date. You're both trying to
discover things about the other person who you've chosen to meet...
Many people might feel uncomfortable about opening up about themselves
at first. It's very important to relax and have fun. Dating should be an
enjoyable experience. Be sure that you stay away from asking general
questions. Instead be sure to ask open-ended questions. An example of an
open-ended question could be "What do you enjoy the most about what you
do? This kind of question will help move the conversation along and
make the other person think about their answer.Try to make statements and stay away from topics that make the other person feel uncomfortable. A recent death could be a topic that might make a person feel uneasy. Don't act to needy or desperate, especially if you're a guy being needy is a huge turn off to women. A woman's intuition is said to be ten times stronger than a man's. Being needy shows a lack of confidence in yourself.
Don't forget the person's name, repeat the person's name back to them when you first meet them. A cool trick to remember someones name is to associate it with something you are already familiar with. Association can help you to remember things, names and places.
Don't drink too much, nothing makes a worse impression than ending up drunk on your first date. It's a good idea not to discuss your past relationships too much on your first date. Movies are not ideal for a first date, it detracts from conversation time. Always be a good listener. Bringing something interesting like a prop or a novel will give you something to talk about.
Don't be extremely judgmental of yourself or your date. Thinking that the person is out of your league will make you feel that you're not worthy of the other person and you'll end up placing him or her on a pedestal.
The best tip is to not fear failure and enjoy yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you think that you did something wrong or said something wrong. We're all human and are prone to making mistakes. Not every single situation or date is going to end up going exactly as you want. I find that if you lose your outcome dependence you'll relieve a lot of the stress that you place on yourself.
