Try not to go in with expectations other than potentially having a good time. If the two of you click, it will be extremely apparent and you'll end up having a great time. (And hopefully more great times.) I'm of the opinion that you should show up on time; showing up late can be interpreted as disrespectful or manipulative and unless the guy is a masochist or easily fooled he's going to be turned off by that. And be yourself; if you end up dating more than that one time, he's going to find out about the real you sometime and it's best to start out honestly.

I agree with you Jillaroo, I have a friend who is in her late 30s and very anxious to meet Mr Right, so she immediately measures a man's potential to be the father of her child - a little bit heavy for a first date! Her intensity then puts them right off and then she wonders where she's going wrong. Make sure you're interested in what he has to say, but make sure he's interested in you too. That's always what I make note of on a first date - does he ask about me and my life? If not, it's a fair bet he's more interested in talking about himself than anything else!

Turn up 5/10 mins late, dont wait around if he's more than 20 minutes late, dont drink more than half glass wine. Never organise dinner on a first blind date, Never stay longer than one hour on first date. Always dress in your favourite most comfortable outfit - the one you feel most confident in.....confidence means sexiness. Make sure make up and hair are perfect. Engage him in conversation. Dont Haemorrhage out your life history, be an enigma. Pose yourself as a challenge, be the first to have to dash. Never 'ask' but TELL him when you can meet again, i.e Lets do this again, call me. Never have sex on date 1.....want to know more www.gorgeousnetworks.com!!!
