Dating can be a nervous experience for both men and women. What advise would you give to someone going on a first date?

Why not?

What I meant is: no 'touchy-touchy' angry
Some guys will invite you for lunch or lunch date , you never even sit down for chair or order what you want but they have touched you tire. And if you convert all the 'touchy-touchy' angry to dollars, you are hitting $500,000 or more grin

The annoying part is that at the end, the guy can't even buy a decent lunch.
Even if he does, he would come to Nairaland to complain of 'all this Nigerian Girls' undecided

1. have a plan that you discuss with your date before hand
2. bring your wallet (not necessary depending on what you planned)
3. be yourself. Dont be someone you aren't like over spending while you are broke or trying to over impress
4. keep it simple. dates are a chance to get to know each other so you would want to have casual convo that allows you to gather info without seeming like a stalker
5. restrict bodily function. Dont fart if you have to burp (belch) make sure you cover your mouth and dont eat with your mouth open
6. end the date by telling the truth. if you like her, let her know that you enjoyed the time together and you would like to see her again. if you hated her tell her you dont think it will work out and thank her for a pleasant date (dont promise that you would call if you hated her)
7. at the end of the date, if a girl
a. extends her hand to shake your hand = bad sign
b. gives you a hug while smiling = good sign

8. the good night kiss: this is the tricky part. you can always feel the chemistry of the date. Sometimes you can tell if she is feeling you so you should make sure you had a mint or gum before you try to plant one on her. easiest way to get a kiss at the end of the date is to ask.
say something like i'm so happy with this date and i was wondering if it would be ok if i kissed you. most of the time abou 7 out of 10 times (ok maybe 5 out of 10) she would say yes but if you had judged the night wrong she might say no. Then again some girls just don't have any contact on a first date so just ask to see her again.

@ AmBeautiful and Omega25red: I agree with your points. People tend to bring out fake personalities during dates.
Even if its the girl that asked me out, I'll still bring my wallet in case of any 'unforeseen' circumstances. Kissing on the first date might seem to soon. Maybe doing so on subsequent dates would be more appropriate. Though E get as e be if a girl gives her date a ride grin

@OP
it all depends on WHO that girl is, and what your intentions are/were when you approached her.
some women are approached for the only purpose of getting into their pants (and some women fully know it and use that as a way to get a free meal), and therefore such women should be handled just as what they truly are.

so no two dates should be evaluated the same and there is no need to treat a dog like a horse or a donkey like a lion, its disrespectful to the dog/donkey!

What do you mean by that?

For those of you that are into dating and stuff. I've always wondered if dates are like how it's painted in Hollywood movies, where the guy and lady will go out for dinner and then the guy walks the lady to her house and kisses her before saying goodbye. is the kissing part true. Won't the girl give the guy a dirty slap when he attempts to lock pis with the girl? Or do the guys say something "Pls bring your mouth, i want to kiss you".

Make Eye-Contact
Making eye contact on a date is very important. It makes the other person feel important and that you are actually interested and paying attention to what he or she is saying.

Give Compliments
Be sure to give your date a nice compliment- whether it be on their hair, clothes, smile or whatever you personally notice. Giving compliments will show your date that you cared enough to take the time to observe the efforts they made in putting themselves together.

Laugh at His/Her Jokes whether is funny or not
whether you truly think your date’s jokes and sense of humor is actually funny, it is always polite to give a laugh. To laugh at his/her jokes and humor will show the appreciation you have for the efforts they made to make the date interesting. So give him/her a laugh, without being over the top or making it look fake or forced

don't be Late because It gives the impression that you do not respect your date’s time and that you are also someone that cannot be relied on

Nothing is ruder than talking on your cell phone during your date, or checking messaged constantly while on a date. It expresses only rudeness, but that you may also be bored and uninterested in your date, making him/her feel insecure and upset. So wait until the end of your date to check messages and if you must keep your cell-phone on and answer it, then keep your talk short and let the caller know that you are busy and will get back to them later.

Also learn to eat appropriately.

The way you eat in public matters.
Though some girls don't mind,but I hate guys that eat like garage touts,banging their cutlery,on the plate, chewing and breaking bones,spitting food from mouth, messing their eating area with crumbs of food, pinging& over talking while eating, licking fingers, and some other irritating ones I don't want to mention.

Many Nigerian guys have quite an irritating way of eating in public,from my observations which I normally do when I eat out.

Please eat& drink, but then mind ur manners.
