Just thought I'd pass on some things I've experienced along the way...please feel free to add your own..

1. First and foremost and I cannot stress this enough...show up.
2. If you have dentures, they are not optional...bring them...putting them in your shirt pocket doesn't count...wear them.
3. Clean your vehicle out, at least the passenger side so I am not sitting on receipts from the Piggly Wiggly and bags of have eaten food from Jack In the Box.
4. You don't have to dress up, maybe save the wife-beater for the second date. Wear clean clothes. I don't wanna see what ya had for breakfast or the previous night's dinner on your shirt.
5. Other than the number of ex's you have, no one needs to really hear any other details.
6. Try to remember your date's name.
7. Your job, though may be fascinating to you, it is not you, be prepared to talk about something else.
8. Cell phone...turn it off.
9. Don't ask your date to dinner and dancing and then spring on her your taking her mudding...which is fun, but not in heels.
10. Don't take them any where you might run into someone you've dated and perhaps pizzed off.
11. Guys pay for the first date. Period.
12. Gals, be prepared to pay.

Hmmmm, really hate when I show up late to a first date, without my dentures, in an almost lived in car, in the wife beater that I worn to all you can eat ribs the night before, then talking about the sexual habits of all my ex's, calling her by the wrong name on several occassions, tell her all about waste management(gets all the chicks!), answering an important call in the middle of an intense conversation, taking her dancing and then figure she'd want to go out ice fishing later, and having her split the bill with me.

Wow, I really need to follow those rules!

Great advice! Ok what's considered a "date restaurant?" I'm in the process of having one this afternoon. Nothing's is set . It's snowing so, I'd like something cozy. Do I let him pick, should I have some idea's? What do you have for advice for me?

Give the boy options on where you'd like to go and let him choose.

BATHE!!!

When out on said date...make her/him feel as if she/he is the only one around, give her/him your full attention.

If it's the first date, it kinda depends on how formal...a cozy cafe for coffee and a slide of pie maybe...I wouldn't go real fussy, keep it casual.

I think all first dates should be planned as a casual meet and greet and if ya hit it off you can build from there.

You know what, do simple. Coffee shop, donut shop, denny's, something simple, no lines for seats(cause those are usually akward when you're waiting to sit down and really don't know what to talk about).
