Hi everyone. I'm sure this is a problem for a lot of people so hopefully any advice will be useful to them as well as me.

 

Despite being 24, I'm about to go on my first ever real first date with a female. Since I was 15 and in school, I'd been in a relationship with a girl who was the same age at the time until almost a year ago when we finally split up after many years of ups and downs. She's still the only woman I've ever been with and I was convinced for a long time that she would always be the only woman for me and we'd marry etc. When we split, it took me a long time to accept that it was over and move on. I wasn't interested in trying to find a new relationship despite my friends encouragement.

 

Recently, I've started putting myself out there a bit more and going out with friends at the weekends. This past Saturday, I was at a club and met this girl through a friend. We hit it off right away, swapped numbers and it was the first time I'd found myself interested in a woman in nearly a year. We spent the last hour or so of the night dancing and kissing. She's literally only the second girl I've ever kissed passionately.

 

We exchanged texts most of Sunday and I eventually asked her out after some encouragement from a friend! She agreed and we're going to dinner together on Wednesday evening. So now I'm ever so slightly nervous, being as this will be my first ever first date with someone I barely know!

 

So any words of advice on how to not make a fool of myself?

 

Thanks for reading. Any help would be greatly appreciated and feel free to call me an idiot if that's what you think!

Just be yourself and do what you would do if you were going out. Be nice and kind show some caring also. Open that door always for her no matter where you are. Don't just jump into your vehicle make sure she's buckled up as well. This shows her your concern about her safety. Other things to do make sure don't talk to much and let her do the talking never interrupt her either. Try to do the things you did while you text her and apply that behavior in the real world so you at least know you can get things right the first time. Whatever you do try not to go overboard. Watch her make the moves and you just follow through. Each date is going to be different but at least I know if you make things right on the first day you'll have more dates to come. One more thing don't rush into things let them develop as things will happen on the date that you both will enjoy!

 

Good Luck and let us all know how your first date with her turned out!
