The first date is as much a matter of the head as it is of the heart. You need to think it through. At times, the sequence of events could be organic enough to get organised on their own. But for many without that magic, planning is all it takes to get that magic in the first place.

1. Know what the two of you expect

The two of you may want to talk over a date. So a loud pub is not a place to be at. Maybe you two can bond over your respective sweet tooth attributes, so a dessert place would be the best option.

2. A small present is always a plus

Assuming that you have spoken enough to be on a date in the first place, get a thoughtful present for the other one.

3. Look for intellectual stimulation

You could choose to be on a date at a museum instead of a typical café. If the two of you are into books, go to a bookstore café. Think out-of-the-box.

4. Be prepared to listen

Listen and respond. Initiate and wait for response. If you listen well, you're gonna conclude it nice.

5. Avoid too much of foresight

Have the future in your head, but avoid bringing it on your tongue. Expression of foresight on a first date could actually be repulsive.
