What To Do On Your First Date

So you've asked her out. She said yes. Now what?
The most popular way of starting out on your first date, is by going to a movie. Some experts argue that movies inhibit social interaction between the two parties leading to a break in communication. In other words, both of you don't talk much. That much is true. Holding a conversation in a cinema is downright rude. That's why a movie date must be accompanied by having a meal somewhere so that you can make eye contact and talk.

Some words of advice regarding the type of movie to watch. On this first date, or on any first date, the way to decide which movie to watch is like this. Tell her, "What movie would you like to see? I'm open to suggestions There's this good movie in town, why don't we go and see it on our date tomorrow."
Believe me, this saves loads of complications afterwards. Rule of thumb: Don't choose cheap horror flicks, adult movies (NEVER choose adult xxx movies) and movies which critics say suck. Choose romantic comedies instead. You should always book the tickets or risk having a miserable first date.

Food For Thought
Depending on your schedule, you should strive to eat only after the movie. This way, you can talk about the movie when both of you are eating should conversation dry up.
Another option would be to eat first and after the movie, stop for coffee and ice cream somewhere. For the first date, you should never choose one of those fast food joints.

Go to a decent restaurant. These are generally classier and quieter so you can talk undisturbed. They may be more expensive but remember, you need to make a good first impression. Fast food outlets give the impression that you are cheap. Budget the whole outing well, movie tickets and pop corn included.
Remember, you want to make a good first impression, not drive yourself bankrupt. Just to be sure, bring at least a hundred bucks.

Other Options

You could of course, do other things on your first date besides seeing a movie. The reason we would recommend you watch a movie on your first date is because the cinema is the easiest way for both of you to have fun.
One option would be to go for a picnic or outing. Another thing you could do on your first date would be to attend a decent play or Music performance which you would both like.

Pampering Her

When being seated don't allow them to place you in "bad" spots such as noisy areas, next to the restrooms, by the front or back door, areas with a bad atmosphere, etc. Tell the waiter who is seating you, very politely, "Is it possible if we can sit somewhere else, perhaps in the corner, there?" If he says, "no," don't bother arguing and making a scene.
Use your napkin to swipe the area around your mouth every few minutes in case some glob of food remains. If a piece of food happens to have gotten itself stuck on the chin or near the mouth of your date, here is your chance. Don't just tell her that something is on her face, remove it for her with a clean napkin or serviette. Do this only if you feel confident enough with her. The aim of all these actions is to pamper her and make a good impression on her.

If you are at a classy restaurant, you should order for your date. Ask her in advance what she wants and when the waiter or waitress comes, order for her. This makes a good impression on women and lets you remain in control throughout.

Be sure to leave at least a decent tip (unless the service is bad). Single women will judge you on your tipping habits. If you are cheap it can make a bad impression on them. Don't whip out a pen and paper or calculator to calculate the tip; it could leave an impression on her that you are "cheap." If the price is a bit too steep, please don't complain, it will only make you look cheap.
