Just be yourself. The best advice to give really :smile:

Also, don't be pressured into anything.

Don't dominate the conversation, but don't just sit there in silence either (unless you are at a cinema :p:

)

Do relax and enjoy yourself :smile:

Try and refrain from dry humping your date. Save it for the second date.

Avoid spaghetti.

Wherever possible, keep your mouth shut and try not to smile like a goon.

And remember, the other person is probably as worried as you are!

my mum always told me, avoid chocolate ice cream because I always get it all over the place. I ignored her advice, had a chocolate ice cream, got it in my forehead, in my eye (painful),in my hair, on the back of m neck, all over my hands, down my top, and it was trickling down my leg. Impressive I must say. Still the person I was on the date with is now my fiance, so it didn't do me any harm :p:

(besides eternal shame)

Lol, okay be myself. I'll be repeating this in my head and try to refrain mention pigeons :smile:

I'm not nervous about it...maybe just slightly. But him asking me out really shocked me, because I haven't really talked to him before, even though we've been working in the same place for two months. So it was kinda unexpected.

Meh, just go and have fun.

On my first date with my boyfriend, I had chicken pasta. We had never eaten together prior to this day and I had often told him how much I loved eating out and what a heart appetite I had. I had one piece of chicken. :redface:

He still takes the p!ss now, over a year later, especially when I tuck into giant steaks!

So, some more advice I have is to order something light if you're nervous and eating out. :cool:

My advice? Just try to enjoy it. Don't worry about what you should or shouldn't be doing... just see what happens. I hope you have a good time. :smile:

She's female. Blokes love a girl to dominate the conversation. Means we don't have to say anything :p:

Be yourself and try and relax. My girlfriend told me the other day the entire list of things she was worried about on our first date.
What if he doesn't like my hair?
What if he doesn't like me anymore?
What if he doesn't like my clothes?
Etc. Etc.

So just try and not think about things like that, he asked you out so he likes you. :smile:

So go and have some fun.
Have a good time!

LLLMAO@ don't eat spaghetti.

Sooooo true, I had that for my 1st ''date'' with this dude. Nothing worse when he was italian so was just naturally eating it, and i'm there thinking ''I'd be better with chopsticks.''

Oh yeah, and do not order salty popcorn if you go to the cinema. If he gives you the choice - it means he wants sweet.

Can't believe I had to refuse to see a nice girl a second time cause o this. But to be fair, she ordered salty, took 2 pieces and told me I could eat the rest! WaAAAaaaAAA!!!

the guy will be as worried as you are, which means you can relax and be yourself, don't worry about talking too much cos as said above guys often prefer it that way...and judging by your profile pic, im surprised it's your first date...

Don't get blind drunk - I am guilty of this on my first date with my boyfriend. We went for a drink and then decided to go to a club afterwards and I was quite nervous so managed to make my usual singles in to doubles. To cut the story short, I thought it was a wonderful idea to try to burn paper in an ashtray to see if it would light (don't ask-it was something I had been discussing with a friend during the day), but it all turned out alright. He thought I was cute and we've been together eight months now.

Juts be yourself you've come this far doing that....

But saying that if your going for a meal don't get something huge and messy try to make it simple. Don't get drunk etc as you'll probably only end up doing things you didn't want to. Do make him think about you and not give all your personally out at once.

Enjoy and have fun :p:

Don't second guess his motives for going out with you, he obviously likes you, otherwise this wouldn't be happening, so be yourself.
