 Be on time. Unpunctuality is a fault with *no* redeeming features. If an emergency comes up please find a way to inform the other party. As much as possible before the day or atleast before the hour. If you want a person to trust you. Prove you are trust worthy by being a man of your word.
Read a newspaper or watch a news program that day so you'll have something to talk about and sound as if you know what's happening in the world. Nothing is worse for a woman than to meet a pompous, self-important bore who couldn't care less about anything that's happening in the world but himself and how it all affects him.
Be open-to her, her plans, and the shape the evening takes.
Don't lie. Never lie. NEVER. Its OK for one night. You lie through your teeth to be interesting. Great ! You get the second date. Now you have to be consistent with all the lies you told on your first date. Tricky. Five dates later you have to revise for two days before each date.
Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Your date might like this other person. She'll call this other person, she'll come to see this other person, she might even sleep with this other person. But when she says 'Screw You', she'll be saying it to you not the other person.
Never surprise your date with a movie, meal etc on the first date. Not until you've got some vague idea of her likes and dislikes. Putting a poor unsuspecting girl through 'Meatslayer And The Wartoids From The Planet SoftPorn' is not a good idea.
A sense of humor (refined if possible) is your best ally.
Avoid arguing over things that would cause either of you to lose a limb. In other words, chill.
Don't look for a fight. Debate topics, don't argue them.
Avoid calling your date 'stupid' unless absolutely necessary (less necessary than most people think!). Rude words will definitely send out the wrong message.
Never say 'shut up.'
Clean nails. VITAL. That also goes for smelling good (but everybody knows that! :-) ). Good hygene is a must. And as much as possible try to dress right appropriate for where you two are going.
Use every opportunity to be observant, sensitive, perceptive, and appreciative of what your date does or may have done. If something embarrassing happens, get over it.
Don't lie to anyone else about the date and what happened. It always goes horribly wrong. Plus there's this chance of the lie reaching your dates' ears. As news gets passed along it gets exaggerated each time.
Roll over, go to sleep. WRONG. Cuddle, kiss, roll over, go to sleep. RIGHT.
Never take your pants off before your socks.
Practice makes slightly better, but never perfect. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince(s).
If you're having a good time, let her know it. Being appreciative wonderful.
Never call the girl bad names. Be polite. It's not advisable to say bad words, curses, etc... after all you are trying to make a good impression.
This may sound old fashioned but girls (I know I do) appreciate it if you open doors for her, act like a perfect gentleman.
Don't date anyone who you wouldn't someday marry.
Communicate how you feel. Be honest but gentle with words.
And last but not the least, what women don't like is when a man boast about past relationships, people who admire them etc.. How would you feel if it was reversed? Focus on now, on the two of you.
