so, i gotta say, i dunno what to do in a first date,
its a tad embarrassing to ask but i think being embarrassed now would be better than being embarrassed later, haha
so i gotta ask you guys, what did you do in your first date, feel free to share your stories,
even if its not your first, hehe

I accidentally touched/scratched a scar while I was talking to the guy, and it started bleeding, and I didn't even notice, it was him who noticed. But he liked me enough not to let this thing chase him away :D.
My overall tips:
-be yourself... if they don't like you for who you are, they are gonna be fed up with you later, as you can't always act out of your character (it applies to your accent, your clothing style, you being klutzy etc.)
-don't talk too much, let them talk, too, and show them you care about him/her
-go to a place you know and a place which isn't too isolated or empty, just in case they act weird
-if you're a girl: if it doesn clash really harshly with your beliefs, at least offer to pay for your part if you eat or drink out, it shows you're not materialistic and are willing to pay for your own part, not waiting to use the guy as an ATM machine :)
-if you're a girl: preferably no too harsh make-up, as it's a gesture to show a natural face of yours, that you are willing to show them the real you... also, gltiter products with fall-out, smeary products and sticky lipgloss are big no-nos, no guy wants to touch it or lick it off while kissing :D (I've actually wirn a stickier lipstick once with glitter, and it landed on the guy's lips :D)
-there should be opportunity to talk (movie and theatre aren't bad if you have time beforehands to talk), because that's how you get to know them
-you should be really careful about manners and also, sometimes it's worth checking out how you look

The first time I ever hung out with my first and current boyfriend we went to the beach. He was so nervous he even brought his friend so he'd be a little bit calmer! lol it was actually really cute to see how shy and nervous he was. We had a really good time and afterwards we went to Panda Express where he got to witness the embarrassing scene of rice falling out of my mouth. To this day he doesn't let me live it down when we eat rice.
But on a first date do something fun where you can be active. That way, you're not stuck having an awkward dinner and a silent movie. If you're doing an activity together it gives the both of you a chance to relax and get comfortable with each other. Keep it casual and maybe grab a quick bite to eat but nothing too fancy. Then, on the next date, if you two really hit it off, you can go to dinner, a movie, or whatever.
