The one thing that no first time dates should be is just fun and light. This is not the truth at all. Sure, a first date must be fun, but fun is not what it is suppose to be all about only.

Be yourself while out on a date. Do not try to be something you are not or put on airs. To thine own self, be true. Anything less is unacceptable.

Be polite to as many people as you can and open to conversation. Talk about yourself and ask questions about your date as well.

Do not talk about any ex-boyfriends or girlfriends while out on a date with someone new. This is a definite no-no for a first date. It will only display you as being mean and unforgiving. Live and let live.

Show your interest in your date by asking them questions about him or her personally. Just refrain from making the whole thing sound like an interview.

Be sure to relay your feelings about the date to him or her and say that you appreciate the fact that he or she has taken the time to be with you. My final and very important advice to you is that you must remember to enjoy yourself when going out on a first date.
