Your first date is the most important and the most difficult.
You have to make a good impression and make her want to see you again.
If you blow it, the chances are you'll never get to go out on a date with her again.
Unfortunately many guys become so nervous on their first date, they simply freeze up not knowing what to say.
If the girl is also the shy type, that would be the end of that relationship.
The Power of Words Do not get tongue tied, but avoid controversial topics such as politics, religion and sex on the first few dates.
Both of you are sizing each other up at this stage and the conversation should be light and interesting.
It's good if you can make her laugh by relating a few humorous anecdotes about your friends or family.
That would make you look like a wholesome and friendly person and is sure to put her at ease.
Find out About Her Get her to talk about herself.
Draw her out by asking a few simple questions about her family.
If you feel that she would rather not talk about them, don't go further, but change the subject.
You can always talk about a movie that's showing in the local theatre or a play you have been to.
Once you have managed to draw her out, let her talk while you listen with a great deal of attention.
Remember, a woman hates it when a man looks around when she's talking.
Give her all the attention and make her feel that she's only person in the room that matters to you.
It's the Little Things Pay attention to small details such as asking her whether to pour more wine or water.
Never force her to eat or drink more than she is prepared to.
Don't laugh loud or crack vulgar jokes on a first date.
Your girl will not appreciate it unless both of you have known each other for a long time.
Compliments You can always say how great she's looking.
No girl is going to be offended by a comment like that.
But please don't tell her that she should stop eating too many sweets or the color of her dress makes her look pale or anything that would make her feel mortified.
You can talk about mutual friends and events taking place in your town.
Once the ice is broken, you will not have to think about what to talk.
Be Yourself When you have been on a few dates together, your conversation can become more personal.
By then you would have a firm idea of what her interests are and what kind of person she is.
If she's the bubbly high spirited kind of girl, you will have very little trouble when you are together on a date.
If however, she's the shy type you have to lead her on very gently and not scare her away with raucous laughter and coarse talk.
One more important tip-don't try to be what you are not.
Some guys try to impress their girls on their first date by showing off and doing things that they normally don't, mostly because they are so darn nervous.
My advice is to be yourself; sincere and charming.
A girl can always tell when a guy is posing.
Take things gently and it won't be long before you are comfortable with each other; but mind you, not too comfortable.
There should always be a little mystery between the two of you; because that's the secret to an exciting relationship.
