How to plan a first date?

Well you’ve asked him out and now you’re nervous, obviously you don’t want to introduce him to your sex toy collection on your first date, and if you take him home you probably want to make sure your rabbit vibrators are safely tucked away in your wardrobe as they probably aren’t first date topics of conversation. So what are the best ways to go about planning a first date?

Location is the first thing to consider, assuming it’s up to you think carefully about where to go, restaurants are an obvious choice but you may spend the date eating rather than talking but then if you just meet up for coffee what happens if there is a conversation lull. You could try something a bit different like an amusement park or sporting event, I’d avoid the cinema because on the whole it’s not a very social occasion if you are looking at the screen the whole time. Mind you if you go to a football match and he’s football mad you haven’t got much chance for conversation either. You could stick with the restaurant idea just avoid spaghetti, there just isn’t a sophisticated way of eating it. Your location should say something about you and the kind of person you are so try to pick something interesting.

Etiquette is of upmost importance for the first date as with a job interview first impressions do count, so good manners and good personal grooming. You will probably be a little nervous but avoid babbling incoherently, listen and pay attention and chat. You are there to have fun, so enjoy yourself.

Conversation topics for first dates should probably remain fairly general avoid anything too controversial like religion or politics. Also a list of why your past relationships failed is probably not the best start to a first date conversation.

So the date went well, do you kiss, if you think it went well lean in and go for it. If you are not too sure you can go for a hug, plus if the kiss doesn’t happen the hug could be a good save. Probably not best to go for sex on the first date. There are exceptions of course if there is some sort of primal instinct.

A few things to remember ring if you are going to be late, otherwise your date may feel stood up and switch of your phone during the date or your date may feel like you don’t want to be there. Most importantly have fun, if it doesn’t go well, there are plenty more guys out there.
