1) Being Late

It's okay the for the ladies to show up late, but never for men. You do that, and she may never want to see you again. To make her waiting for you will show that you are irresponsible and don't respect her.

2) Shabby and untidy

Never wear something that looks like you've just got out of bed. Take a bath, shave and dressed appropriately. Never wear yesterday's clothes. You may smell nothing, but why take chances, right? Spraying perfume is an added bonus to your appearance. But don't use too much. Too much can never be good.

3) Don't overdo it

Remember : First date must be a simple and casual one. Never overdoing it by buying bouquet of roses or dine at the most expensive restaurants in the state. Trying too hard will scare her off. It's just a first date, man... not like you're proposing her. And if actually you do, then don't!

4) Don't be someone else.

You are not Pierce Brosnan or Keanu Reeves. So be your own self (unless you are them). By just being you will show that you respect and have confidence in yourself. Thus people will respect and have confidence in you. But never be ‘too' yourself by showing your negative side. Honesty is the best policy but being too honest might turn her off. Remember, on a first date you must be as perfect as possible in her eyes. It's her first impression, after all...

5) Don't be the center of attention.

Don't just babble about yourself the whole time. Women loves to be the center of attention. But you're not women, right? Few experts suggested that on a first date, you should get to know each other and having equal exchange of information. I think that's a load of crap. The best way to make a meaningful first date is by talking about her passions (for example : her job, her pet or her hobbies). You'll be surprise how delightful it will turn out. It's even better if you're not familiar with her infatuation at all. Just ask her tons of questions. Even the silliest ones. She'll be happy answering because it's her passion. You even can see the gleaming in her eyes as she's trying to explain to you. On one of my first dates, all we talk about is her pony. But she's very excited to see me again.

6) Don't be drunk (not for Muslim)

I'm a Muslim and my religion prohibits drinking any alcoholic drinks. So I have no problem with this. But too often I've seen my friends (not Muslim) acting like a fool when on a date by taking too much liquor. You may drink but not too much. If you're planning to take her home after dinner, being drunk is not an option.

7) Tongue-tied

Never let a conversation die into an awkward silence. If you like the girl so much, at least have a few knowledge about herself. Like I said before, the best way to make a pleasant conversation throughout the date is by talking about her passion. And please; never talk about something that makes her uncomfortable. For example : SEX. C'mon; it's her first date. Even if she's a nympho, she still wants to maintain her dignity and impression on a first date. Also don't ask too many personal questions. You're not interrogating her in a murder case, man!

8) Eyeing on other babes

You're dating her, so keep your eyes to her. It's okay to glance once a while around the place just to be aware of your surroundings. But don't do it too often or she might think you're uncomfortable with her. And never check out other women when you're with her. She'll feel insulted and disrespected. What if she's checking out other guys when she's with you? How would you feel?

9) Talking too much about your ex

It's normal that she'll ask you about your ex-girlfriend (or ex-fiancé or ex-wife). Just answer briefly and don't talk too much about her (or them!). If you're talking about your ex more than 10 seconds, then you're talking too much. It's that simple. And avoid complimenting your ex in front of her. You're a fool if you do that. She might have the idea that she's a rebound for you. Just say "She has her good side but in the end she's not the one for me". And never bash you ex too. It'll give her an unhealthy impression about you. If she tests you by asking "Is she beautiful? (your ex)"; just answer "Not as beautiful as you!". She knows that you might be lying. But she'll forgive you because of that heart-melting compliment.

10) Fidgeting

It's okay to be nervous. Probably because she's the hottest babe in the college and you're just an ordinary Joe. Actually I often have that kind of feeling. Just relax. Think of the bright side. She wants to go out with you. You've already won half of the battle. Don't ruin it by being so nervous. You'll look like a wuss. She'll think you're wuss. And never fidgeting with your watch. She might think you want to end the date quickly. Unless you actually do...

All the best! Good luck!
