How to Ace Your First Date

1-Dress Appropriately. What you wear depends where you go, but also consider that you can only make one first impression.
2-Think about where to go. I used to think a movie is the wrong place for a first date since it's "getting to know you time." But if you have dinner first, go to a movie, then go some place else for dessert to discuss the film, you won't have to do hours of talking.
3-Avoid too much information. You don't have to tell your entire life story the first time you meet. Save some for later dates.
4-Listen. It's really an art to listen (and hear) well. Ask open ended questions so you won't have to deal with a one word answer. Don't ask "Do you like museums?" better to ask, what do you like to do when you visit the museum?
5-Mind your manners.Don't get drunk. Use please, thank you, and if appropriate, use I'm sorry. Good manners are the confirmation of a good first impression.
