Hello...unique question that makes one think Okay...Number 1: tell two or four people that you trust where exactly you are going on the date-what the person looks like etc. If something happens;this is vital information that would be need to find out what happened to you. Doubt this??...watch America Most Wanted. 2: IF YOU already have some personal information on your date AND IF YOU can afford it...have a private detective do a background check on the person. This would allow complete trust of the date sayings "like I went to Harvard University" etc. 3: Carry back up money-credit cards or whatever JUST in case the date goes horribly wrong and you got to get out there quick. Just make in in one of secret wallets-money carriers that can be found in any travel goods store. 4: Go to any health foods that also carries vitamins-herbs and asks whats available for bad breath.I could be wrong but If there one universal no-no on a first date....its would be bad breath. Remember....first impressions count !! 5: Pay attention to what the other person is talking about.... Many times I messed up cause I didn't,t want to listen to what she had to tell me about her career. food tastes etc. Its hard to remember but you got to know that people esp your date love to talk about themselves...Our job-primary concern is to listen intently..Believe me;you be amazed what people have to say about themselves. 6: Dress conservatively well...by this I mean that one does not and must not dress like a hooker making one self "EASY" for whatever evil comes but that like say " a casual outfit or simple suit from Brooks Brothers" would be great first impressions. 7: Relax!! Chill!! and enjoy yourself...let things flow and not follow a script. If all goes well..Wow!! If not; chalk it up to experience.
Press on and You will win in the end. Good Luck!! and if you can let know how the date went.. Cheers!!!

If its cold wear something soft... females love to cuddle into that, next when you pick her up take both her hands and lightly kiss her on each cheek, gets that whole awkward do we kiss or not kiss at the end of the date...... do not expect her to share costs on a first date..... you wont see her again if you do.... try not to talk about yourself to much and listen I mean really listen to her. But most of all have fun

Something active like bowling or something, and double dating is always fun. I heard somewhere that those are some good ideas to getting to know someone before getting serious. Don't worry about what they think just have fun. Let them see that outgoing side and you'll be fine.

Make it a short one at first, like an hour or two long.Go for ice cream or coffee at first and then if things are going good then you can make another date for dinner or a movie for another day/night. This way you have an idea if you are interested in each other or if it will be your first and last date with this person.

Be yourself. Hope she is herself as well. You don't want to get into a relationship and find out she is someone else.

BE YOURSELF.....IF YOU'RE A GUY, BE A GENTLEMAN.....IF YOU'RE A GIRL BE A LADY.....TREAT YOUR DATE WITH RESPECT AND BE SURE THEY TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT......KEEP THE SEX TALK OUT OF YOUR FIRST DATE AND CONCENTRATE ON LEARNING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ABOUT ALL THE OTHER STUFF THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER.......TALK ABOUT FAMILY, FRIENDS, HOBBIES, LIKES, DISLIKES, MUSIC ,SCHOOL, ASPIRATIONS, GOALS., DREAMS OF THE FUTURE...THINGS FROM YOU PASTS, YOUR FAVORITE THINGS, PLACES, ANIMALS, PETS, T,V, SHOWS MOVIES (ETC...)....KEEP IT CLEAN , OPEN AND HONEST.......THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME LATER TO FIND OUT ALL THE INTIMATE STUFF ABOUT EACH OTHER ON FUTURE DATES IF ALL GOE WELL ON THE FIRST DATE,....DON'T DIVULGE TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATIN ABOUT YOURSELFAND DON'T TRY TO GAIN EVERY LITTLE BIT OF PERSONAL INFO ABOUT THEM ...DATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN AND A LEARNING PROCESS....BUT NOT AN INQUISITION.....DON'T PUMP FOR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS THAT YOUR DATE MAY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ANSWERING......BUT PUT THEM IN YOUR HEAD AS MARKERS/ RED FLAGS (red flags are warning signs that come up and some times show things that should have been noticed early on in a relationship that are not spotted until something goes wrong later on ,down the road.after time passes, Spotting red flags early in the relationship, helps avoid some nasty things that may occur later on in the relationship) OF WHAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE WILLING TO SHARE WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE......UNSAID THINGS ARE SOMETIMES THE BEST INDICATOR OF WHAT A PERSON IS INSIDE ...SOMETIMES IT IS NOT WHAT THEY SAY THAT MATTERES BUT WHAT THEY ARE UN-WILLING TO SAY THAT DOES......JUST BE YOURSELF AND ENJOY THE TIME TOGETHER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN....

Take it slow and be open to what your date wants to do. Treat the with respect and use good manners. Do not try to be something you are not, especially on the first date. Always be honest and kind, don't be pushy. Good Luck.

be yourself!

but in general, get the basics, clean up if needed, gotta look good for her (because most likely she didn't get dressed up for no thin), examples: clothes clean, hair neat trimmed, face shaved, trim nose hairs or other. fresh breath, chew some gum before hand.

offer and insist to pay for the dinner / movie of whatever activity you two are doing

call her next day to follow up, that's if you are interest in her

Plan an activity. Don't wait until you pick her up and then ask what do you want to do? Or where do you want to go? You make the plans. Some fun thing.
