Lots of good advice has been offered in this thread.
Be and act confident even when you are nervous. You will be surprised how often a girl will go out with you if you ask, but its assured you wont ever date a girl if you dont try to ask her out.
Good advise there.
Women in general are attracted more to strong confident men then weak wishy washy ones.
And by Strength I dont mean physically strong as women are more mentally attracted to someone then physically.
As A woman I once saw said. "A strong and confident man has the same effect on a woman as a large pair of breasts have on a man"
That doesnt mean be arrogent. Just be sure of yourself, what and who you are.
Just Be yourself and make em laugh.
Like I said. just be yourself and the person that everyone else likes about you. And dont try to fake anything.
A movie is a good idea for a first date but plan something for both before and after. Gives you a chance to talk and get to know one another.
In the movie while it will give you both something in common to talk about afterwards you wont be able to talk much during.
So plan on something short before hand. Cup of coffee perhaps or even a walk through a park or a museum.
afterwards maybe some food. Even at a local pizza joint or Diner.
Go to an itallian resturant. Food there is usually pretty cheap and often has a nice setting.
you culd flip the two around and get some food first then the movie then the walk. Or afterwards take her for some Ice cream for deseart. Which also isnt a bad idea.
If the chick is only interested in expencive resturants and high end stuff then she probably is High maintanence and probably not worth it in the long run anyway.
Parties is a REAL bad idea for a first date.
Too much going on. and you want the two of you to be the center of your focus.
Be attentive but dont fall over yourself going overbored.
