Yes, the first date what to do and don'ts. This is purely what I have observed, experienced, and my own opinion, so take what you will from this list. Guys who have done this for me have always intrigued me and have scored a second date. The six listed here are the most important parts (in my opinion) on what a guy should do during the date. This list is to help those who have first date jitters or are dumbfounded on what to do. Trust me, this guide will help!
1. Pick the girl up.
This is important for many reasons but picking the girl up makes her feel as if you are interested and making an effort to do whatever you can to make the date happen. If you are meeting the girl where ever the date is, make sure you meet her instead of her meeting you, this shows that you care enough about the date and the girl you’re on the date with.

2. Ask her questions about her goals, life accomplishments, etc.
Make sure to ask questions about certain topics that she’s passionate about, then relate that subject to your passions, so on and so forth. Any girl loves talking about their likes and dislikes. Also, be on the lookout for questions she asks you because more than likely, she might want you to ask the same question back so she can talk about her perspective.
3. Make sure you guys never notice the waiter.
Rule of thumb, making sure you guys never notice the waiter is important. This indication means the date is going well. For example: let's say, you’re having a great conversation and the waiter comes out to ask for refills or brings out your dinner, it would be annoying if someone kept interrupting you while you’re talking, laughing etc. As vice versa, if the date isn’t going too well, both of you guys will be dying for the waiter to come back to the table. So, if you want a second date, make sure that the conversation is good and the waiter is nonexistent.
4. Compliment her.
Complimenting her might sound cliché, but trust me this works. Don’t compliment her as soon as you see her but towards the middle or end of the date – this will make her remember the compliment and sleep on it. When complementing the girl, it doesn’t always have to be about their physical appearance, it can also be a combination of something she said or you like something she likes. It never has to be about the way she looks. You can still compliment her appearance, there’s nothing wrong with doing so, but still just get creative.
5. Give constant eye contact.
Try your hardest to give constant eye contact. This step shows your interest in what she’s saying and your interest to get to know her. I know that giving someone eye contact might feel weird or make nerves come up, but for her, she’ll know you are taking in what she’s saying and want to give her the attention she deserves.
6. Pay for the date.
This might be controversial for whatever reason, but paying for the first date, in my opinion, shows the commitment you are willing to put into making a dating relationship move forward. It shows that you are willing to invest time, money, and resources into someone who you’re serious about. Paying for the date is a sign of seriousness and readiness for the journey ahead that this person can share with you. Let’s be real, if the guy did not offer to pay for the first date or didn’t insist, chances are he’s just there for a good time and is not really serious about having a second date anyway.
