First dates can be tricky to plan, because you don't know a whole lot about your date yet. But you can do a few things ahead of time to ensure that you have a memorable date that will have her calling up all her friends the next day to brag. With a little luck, you may even get a second date.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Pick your location wisely. The traditional dinner-and-movie date has been done a thousand times. If you want your first date to be really memorable, choose a unique location that will catch him off guard. Go to the zoo, the aquarium or maybe even a street fair. These offer new sights to explore if the conversation starts to lag, but you'll have plenty of opportunities for intimate conversations as well.

  2. Step 2

    Give her something that she loves. If your date loves modern art, take her to the newest show at the museum, or walk around downtown looking at the different buildings and architecture that the city has to offer. If she likes music, skip the concert scene and go listen to a live band at the park. It will show her that you really care about her likes and dislikes, and you'll surely get a second date.

  3. Step 3

    Relax. It's hard to be relaxed on first dates because you both want to make a good impression on each other. But the best advice is just to relax and be yourself. If you're comfortable, your companion in turn will feel comfortable and the date will go much more smoothly.

  4. Step 4

    Talk. Silence is deadly on a first date, so keep the conversation flowing to have a memorable first date.

  5. Step 5

    Have fun together. First dates aren't about finding your soul mate or deciding whether you have a true love connection, they're about having fun with another person and seeing if you click. You have years of dating ahead of you to find out the other stuff, so for the time being just laugh and enjoy each other's company.
