second dates and were already planning in your head
what the

 Choose
a place you feel comfortable and one that suits both your
tastes. For instance, if the man is a baseball fanatic but
the woman has none to little interest, a game is not the
best idea, even if she politely agrees to it.
Ask
questions and
listen carefully – 38% of singles say one of the most
important things they notice on a first date is whether
their date asked questions about themselves.Let them
see
the real you, now is the time to drop the façade and
share your opinions and interests – 46% of single say
that not having
common interests is a deal breaker
(despite all the talk of "opposites
attract"), it’s better to know sooner than later if
you have anything in common.

Share
yourself, express opinions, desires and goals – 49% of
singles say that having
common values and
goals is the top
reason a relationship works in the long term.
At
the end of the date, don’t make false promises
about what comes next if
you
are not interested in taking the relationship
further – 40% of singles have told their date they
would call them to go out again but never did.
Be honest, there’s no reason to be rude to
someone you barely know. (Related:
