Your first date with a new girl is always full of extremes. There is extreme awkwardness, nerves, and a false sense of confidence. When you are ready to make a good first impression, remember these important tips. These will be very helpful in allowing you to achieve the all important second date...

The easiest rule to remember is to act chivalrous in front of your date. Even though modern women are in favor of equal rights, culture and society have left deep impressions on women personalities. Inside, all women still enjoy being pampered and the center of a man's world. You will leave an excellent impression at the end of the night if you go out of your way to open doors for her, plan a wonderful evening, and focus your attention solely on her the entire evening.

Something that should be avoided altogether is talking about how great you are. The first date is primarily to get to know someone. You should talk about yourself, but get ready to listen. A good signal that a first date is going well for the guy, is when a guy can shift the conversation forward. This can be accomplished by listening to what the female is saying, and being attentive to what she might need. Carry the topics and react to hobbies and interests that you may share in common.

A man needs to take charge of the first date. It must be their domain to either succeed or screw up. While on that first date the guy should move it along, but also being sensitive to how the night is going. If something does not work, then move along to another portion of the evening or a back up plan. Also, suggest certain places and events rather than asking, "Where do you want to go?"
