We met a week or so ago when a little drunk, swapped mobile numbers and have emailed a couple of times - but we're meeting tonight for a first proper date. I've recently come out of a long relationship (about 3 months ago) and haven't dated for 3 years now, so I'm a bit out of the game! Any suggestions for do's and dont's??

Just be yourself, the main thing is to relax and have a good time,
wear something that you will feel comfortable in.
Smile and relax
If you are both comfortable and relaxed i am sure that the conversation will flow and you will both have a good time
hope you have a great time and good luck

My friend is taking a communications class and they had a thing about dating. I remember him telling me that the most memorable advice the professor gave was that if you have an excessive knowledge of computers, you should keep it to yourself. Or Star Wars. I mean I wouldn't mind, but someone you are just going on a first date with might. Save it for later (like the third date).
Just talk about your interests, stuff you like, interesting stories (I don't know if you have interesting work stories). Any movies you like, pets, cool tidbits about your family. I always find it stirs up some good conversation when you talk about things you enjoyed in your childhood (for me it was Power Rangers and dinosaurs), and seeing what her childhood was like. It's a way to start intimate conversation and get to know the person without things being awkward, so don't just jump in with "So how was your childhood," make it flow with the conversation.
I guess if you do like her, make little gestures to show you do (touching her hand at dinner), but don't be all overt about it. I think girls really like subtlety because if you jump all over her first chance you get you'd come off as needy.
Could also bring her something when you go pick her up, like a single rose or a box of cinnamon buns, off the top of my head. Haha.
Good luck with your date!

This is what you need to do. I gaurantee that you will get laid! Go somewhere that serves booze. Dont say a damn thing about yourself unless asked. Let her go on about herself all night and be impressed by anything she says or does. Lastly, dress nice nobody likes a slob, but keep your hair on the messy side because no woman wants a man that takes longer to get ready than she does!!

Don't diss on your ex, especially not on the first date!
Ask questions about the other person's interests such as movies or music. Ask about their job or school.
Good luck with the first date! Have fun.

Never discuss ex by/gf on your first date. Don't drink too much, be open tell him/her about yourself but most of all have fun!
Good Luck.

be yourself - you know you will mention your ex - the harder you try not to the more it just slips out - don't feel awkard if you do - it happens. Talk about as much as you can but listen as well.
