With regard to what to do on a date, well there are many options. It is important to try to plan something that you think that you both might enjoy. Also, a date that can be somewhat planned as you go can be a good thing, so that you can mutually decide things as the evening progresses. It is good to make the first date into an opportunity to casually talk and get to know each other so that you can assess the situation as then evening progresses. If the date is too structured, you might find yourselves feeling trapped by an activity that neither of you enjoy and for a period of time. Creative energy is so very important on the first date and the more such energy put into this first date, the better.

With respect to what to wear, you should not worry so much about it. Generally, it is best to just be yourself and wear what suits you best. This way, your date can see you for how and who you are, without being misled by false impressions. For instance, if you are an outdoors type person, maybe you should consider doing something outside and wear your sports clothes. This will certainly give your date an insight into what you really are about. If they don’t respond well to your true self than chances are they are likely not the right person for you.

What to say on a date and when is a tricky thing for sure. Again, you will be with someone new to you and so you should definitely play all the conversation by ear. When you start talking with someone, you can get a sense for the type of person that they are and what comments and topics of conversation will go over well with them. You don’t want to overly plan everything that you say or do but rather just be considerate of each other as you go and be a good listener as well as a good talker. You should make an effort to share the conversation airtime and not have anyone dominate the conversation over the other. After all, you want to both learn about each other on the first date and not have one person go home, not really knowing the other as much as they know them.

Finally, a person should treat the preparation for this first date as an opportunity to show themselves off at their best, while still being their true selves. The less superficial in the first date, the better it is for both people. After all, it is an ultimate goal to love and be loved for who you are and not for what you could be. Not to say that people should not see the potential in another, but it is important to see the person you are on a first date with as a complete package whom you hopefully can start a relationship with. Be true to yourselves and see what the date has in store for you. Embrace the opportunity to spend some time with someone new!
