Choose an outfit that complements your personality. Don't wear something you wouldn't ordinarily wear just because it's the first date; it sends the wrong message. But choose something that will make him notice. Keep in mind, there's a fine line between wearing something that will impress versus wearing something that just isn't you.

Resist the temptation to discuss your past failed relationships. It's a negative, and negatives are never good on the first date. Nobody wants to hear why the last guy you dated turned out to be a jerk or why he neglected to call you back. According to the Power Essence website, it may raise a red flag in his mind. He may potentially think two sides of the story exist, so reserve those discussions over past relationships for another time.

Flirt according to the Top Dating Tips website, such as twirling hair, slightly touching his arm, or leaning toward him during conversation. Use his name throughout the date and make eye contact. Smiling also helps.

Ask questions that develop conversation instead of ones that lead to yes-no answers. Tell him what you like to do for fun and what your job is all about. If he tells a joke, laugh even if it wasn't much of a joke. Remember, he's trying to show a sense of humor, too, so play along. The least amount of awkward silences obviously improves the first date.

Tell him you enjoyed yourself at the end of the date. If he says he'll call you again, return the favor and let him know you had a nice time and you'd like to see him again.
