And I need tips. I have no idea how to date. I think the fact that I'm asking this here say enough about me to give you an idea of where I'm coming from.

Relax and enjoy yourself. Be yourself, don't mention your ex if you have one, don't complain about where you're eating, and don't go into the date expecting a relationship. Go into it expecting to have fun and enjoy yourself, and if it goes well then start to think about what could be. Good luck!

Smile, but not to much. Keep your concentration on her eyes. If you aren't looking at her eyes you're done for. (and i don't mean that). Pay attention to what she says.

You should be fine then. LOL. And be you.

First piece of advice: Don't take any advice from the internet. Ever. About anything.

Since you've disregarded that already, try this.

Be yourself.
Have fun.

If you fail at either of those two, you've failed.

Finally, it is okay to scream and run when reality doesn't quite live up to fantasy.

If it's a guy, just be natural and relaxed; talk about whatever comes up, and it will all fall together.

It it's a girl, be fake. Nod your head a lot and listen; bonus points if you don't talk about yourself at all.

If it's a transgendered midget, call me; I'm interested.

No biting.

This can apply to virtually any social situation.


OT: Just have fun, be yourself, you'll do fine :)

Just be yourself, try not to be nervous and try to listen and respond intelligently and emotionally to what shes saying.
That's if she's attractive to you.

Otherwise, I recommend none of the above.

Don't drink excessively, either. Despite being a type of pirate cool, alot of chicks are turned off by swaggering buffoons. Trust me on this one.

I not a big fan of blind dates anymore, so I try to frack 'em up intentionally. Good luck on yours, though!

Basics are always a good start, Make sure you have washed and don't smell bad (bad breath and B.O are instant fail) Also be polite. It goes along way. On top of that be yourself and have fun. Even if it does go spectacularly wrong you don't have to see them ever again.

My first piece of advice would have been "don't accept a blind date"... I don't really understand the whole concept. Love isn't blind, love is all-seeing, guilty, shameful, and is actually lust in disguise.

I beg to differ. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAWj9FJhEo0]

Edit: Never mention the weather. EVER. Also, ignore all this crap about "be yourself." Make yourself seem relaxed and approachable, and be very cautious about humor.

Come on, someone had to say it.
Maybe the reason it wasn't the first post was because it's a pun we all facepalm at.

bwahahahaha

great example, you actually have to bite in that situation :p

OT: well, everyone already told you to be yourselve, one thing is important, never,ever over think what you want to say, it just makes you nervous, just say whatever comes to mind first (unless all you can think about is sex)

This --->

First piece of advice: Don't take any advice from the internet. Ever. About anything.

Also,

don't drink too much.
be polite, open doors and such.
don't give out too much personal details on the first date. EX: She doesn't need to know you sleep naked yet.

Hey that was actually some level headed reasonable advice. I defiantly second that.

It really also depends on your age. Dates where quite a bit different when I was 20 compared to the last couple of years.

However ladies that does not apply to you. He does not mind knowing you sleep naked.

Ohh double standards are fun ain't they?
