How to Act on a First Date For Women

 As cliché as it sounds, being yourself is probably the best way to ensure you not only have a good time on a first date, but also get a second date, too. That said, there are a few dos and don’ts to keep in mind when hanging out with someone totally new, remember, it’s all about making a solid first impression.

There's no single age that girls begin dating. Many girls start dating in Year 6 or 7, while many others begin sooner or later. Whenever you begin dating, you can help ease those first date jitters by learning beforehand what sorts of things to say and do on your first date. Above all, simply be yourself  worthwhile boys will like you for who you really are.

If he is picking you up, wave, say hello and SMILE: This should instantly make him think "OK, she's happy. Good start."

If you are at the movies, cry if they're showing cute dirt-poor people: If there is a kissing scene, say "that is so romantic" or "that is so cute!" then lean on his shoulder and do your best to cry. This will make him feel sorry for you, and 86% of guys will put their arm around you. He might even kiss your head or rub your shoulder.

If it is a dinner date, ask him what he wants first: Pretend you can't read a word if you are at a different language restaurant, if not, you will just seem weird and partially dumb, also don't do this if you are taking that language as a class but can always say "you forgot your glasses" or something, good thinking, then it will work. Lean over to him, squint a bit and ask him what it says. This will break the touch barrier, and gets you two closer.

If you asked him out, offer confidently like you know you should, to pay, unless he insists he should: This shows that you can be a leader, with strong personality.

When the date is over, say goodbye and wave: If you haven't already, exchange numbers or e-mails. Hug him right before you leave, give him a quick peck on the cheek if you are that daring! (look at How to Kiss A Boy to know how to do that.

If you go in a group make sure you tell him that he can bring his friends too that way he isn't surrounded by girls: Trust me, he will not like that.

If you bring guy friends make sure he is okay with that; he might not but respect that: It might be weird; it's kind of weird and awkward altogether. Anyhow, don't give too much attention to them or your boyfriend might get jealous and think you have.

Do speak up:Nobody likes a pushover, so if your date tells you he’s planned an evening at a sushi restaurant and you don’t eat fish, or he wants to hang at a cocktail lounge but you don’t drink, speak up. It’ll only look strange if you tell him all that after you’re already seated and waiting to order. Same goes for being decisive. If he asks what you’d like to eat, drink, or share for dessert, don’t say “I don’t care, what do you want?” Wishy-washy can get real old, real fast.

Don't wear things that you can’t walk, eat, breathe, or talk in: Obviously, you want to look your best, but a first date isn’t the time to take those new 5-inch stilettos out for a road test, or wear that dress that’s a little too tight. Why? Because first dates are anxiety-filled enough and being uncomfortable in your clothes only makes it worse. Plus, won’t it suck to not be able to walk a few blocks on a nice night because your heels are too high? Instead, wear things you know look good on you but won’t hinder you from being cool, calm, and collected.

Do be on time: Yeah, we know the whole fashionably late ideology still exists, but on a first date, you’ll make a better impression if you show up on time. Would you want him to show up late? Probably not. What’s that? It takes you two hours to do your hair? Sounds like you’re perfectly aware of that fact, which means you’ll know exactly how much time you need to prepare ahead of time, even if it’s five hours (hey, we don’t judge.)

Is She Gonna Tweet About This?: After a first date, guys worry that you'll go all Carrie Bradshaw on them you'll critique their every word and move on Facebook, on your blog, or on the phone with your girlfriends. To assure him you're not simply gathering material for your next man-bashing girls' brunch, do not hate on their kind ("what is it with you men?"), do not pause mid-date to update your FB status (it will just make him think you're posting something about him), and, for the love of God, do not mention that you aspire to be a dating blogger one day.

Can I Bring Her Home to Mom?: When guys first meet you, they picture you naked you know this. But here's the kinda cute part: If they get a good vibe from you from the get-go, they're also picturing what their mom will think of you. To get Mother Approval right away, hold off on the F-bombs and plunging tops until the third or fourth date, when he already knows you're capable of at least pretending you're a perfect angel.

Can She Hang With My Buddies?: Men want to date women who can chill with the guys. If you're critical of the food, mean to the waitress, or uptight in any way, he'll conclude that you might be a drag around his boys. Not only is it a turnoff, he'll get crap from them about it, and he doesn't want that. Be sure to show off your easygoing attitude so he'll know his pals will totally dig your presence.

Does She Always Talk This Much?: It can't be repeated enough: Guys have a low threshold for mindless chatter. If you're rambling on about your friends, coworkers, or anything you read on a gossip site, he's gonna feign interest, then fake an emergency doctor's appointment. Stick to asking him about bigger-picture topics, such as music and movies he digs, or what his friends are like.

Can I Afford Her?:Think twice before ordering a Petron margarita. When you start with a pricey cocktail or appetizer, dudes hear that ching cash register sound in their heads they think you're going to be too effing expensive to take out all the time. Unless he orders a fancy drink or dish first, stick with standard fare, and save the $$$ orders for when he's already smitten.
