You Should Choose The Place
Suggest a few date ideas and agree on meeting in a neutral, public place. It's best not to choose places that are too noisy, busy and could have too many distractions. You might consider meeting for a coffee at a cafe, lunch at a restaurant, picnic in a public park, a trip to the zoo or everyone's favorite, dinner and a movie.

Count Your Expenses Beforehand
We all have lack of money or don’t have too much to blow a week's wage on a first date. To avoid any potentially awkward situation it might be best to plan on splitting the costs beforehand. But, remember that a good tip to a waiter demonstrates class.

Keep Others Informed
Tell a friend and family member of your plans: when you're leaving, where you're going, when you'll be home, a specific time you'll call during the date to let them know you're ok, and details about the person, like name, description and if their online dating profile has a photo print it out and give it to your friend.

Don’t Be Shy To Invite One Of Your Friends
You may take a close friend to the date, but maybe just for the beginning and arrange to meet up again and work out a signal to let them know if you'd like them to stay or go.

Calm Yourself Down
Try not to let the nerves get to you. More often than not your date will be just as nervous, so relax and be yourself. This person has agreed to date you. If you've chatted via an online service before meeting offline then you should know a bit about the other person. Don't try to portray an image of the person you are not - others will see through it and any 'little white lies' usually have a habit of coming back to haunt you later in a relationship.

Prepare Some Topics To Talk About
When it comes to conversation, use what you know about them from your online correspondence and also what you know yourself and your interests. That morning, you could take an extra 20 minutes reading the paper to get a few more 'topics of the day' into your mind.

Show Your Intelligence
If you're stuck for topics, then hobbies, work and sport are good areas to start with. Remember to keep the conversation light in tone and don't start arguing. You certainly don't want to bore your date through negativity or me-me-me attitudes, nor do you want to venture into areas that many consider off-ground - past boyfriends, girlfriends etc.

Show More Interest In Partner's Life
Do take an interest in what they say, be attentive and don't be afraid to give a balanced opinion. Be honest at all times, but don't begin to tell your life story. Too much information is a dangerous thing. You want to intrigue them by giving them a taster. You'll have ample time in successive dates to get further acquanited.

Show You Are Having a Good Time
Clock-watchers and over-the-shoulder lookers do not impress. If you're enjoying the date, make it known.

LIsten To Your Inner Voice
If at any time during the date you begin to feel uncomfortable or unsure about the situation, then you can excuse yourself and make an exit 'via the back door'. Never fear any embarrasment in asking for help if your instincts tell you to get out of there.

End The Date On Time
Men can impress by ending the date first. Know when to end the date, usually it's helpful to do so on a funny note and when the conversation is just beginning to wane. You don't want it to become boring. You want it to end on a high-note.

Be Patient And Polite
When asked whether you wish to meet up again be honest and courteous. Treat others with respect and always remember to smile. Don't be overoptimistic in your expectations. Remember the first date for many is a nervous experience and if you're quick to dismiss and not give a person a second chance, that may be your loss.
