What are your 5 best first date tips?

I’m going on a first date with a guy tomorrow night, he’s shy so I had to do all of the initiating but he seems keen enough. What are your best tips?

No particular order

1) Plan ahead. Think up at least a few topics that he/she might be interested in, in case the conversation runs out. Shy guys are prone to do that because they over think.
2) Give him attention. Nothing’s worse than going on a date and noticing that the other person could care less about you, in other words, minimal cell phones.
3) Go somewhere fun, not like a bar, but maybe bowling or something. It gives you something to do so there’s not so much pressure on either of you.
4) Kinda obvious, but dress above average. You don’t want to go casual, but you don’t want super fancy either. It’ll show that the date means something to you.
5) Be yourself. Cliche I know, but this is key. The point of a date is to get to know the other person. What’s the point if you’re just tricking the other person by pretending to be what you think they want?

    Be yourself.. dont have high expectations. play it by ear.. and feel of the date. and then take it where its meant to go IF YOU BOTH feel it..

    1. If u live some where warm, id say go on a picnic at a park in the evening time and put candles all around the blanket. Once the stars come out blow out the candles and maybe put out some fragrace and watch the starts. (thats my dream date)
    2. Hang out at a mall or a book store. Go to a cafe and look around
    3. Make fondu or cookies or something like that. If iceing/melted chocolate is involved its more fun cuz you can get it on his face and lips and u can lick it off ;) and who knows what else could go down!
    4. Go around peoples houses that u both hate and Tee-Pee them, egg them, anything!
    5. MAKE OUT SESSION!!!!!!! :D lol (just threw that one out there)
