I asked out this girl to dinner and she said she'd like to go with me. I've never been out with a girl before, what do we do? Do we just do dinner? Do we do something after dinner? Do I pick her up? How does all this work?


Update: I mean like after dinner. Maybe go for a walk? Get ice cream? Get some coffee? Get a drink? It'll probably be dark when we get done.    2 months ago

ok, here's the thing, just chill out and be yourself. Be really sweet and charming (open doors, pull out her chair) if she likes that stuff. If she's independent and likes to do everything herself, she won't like these gestures, but a lot of girls do.
make your own judgement on which type of girl she is.
Just talk to her like you would at school. After dinner, you could take a walk (like that other person on here so intelligently said) that would be sweet. Talk to her about stuff. Maybe more than school.

You ask if she wants you to pick her up from her house or just meet at the restaurant. Ask what sort of food she likes but you make the reservations. Be a gentleman. After dinner you ask if she would like to go for a walk. Go to a public place so she doesn't feel pressured or intimidated. You pay for everything unless she insists on paying for herself. If she does let her. Some girls do this because it makes them feel more comfortable and less inclined to owe you something. Some girls are just like that. If it's cold go inside somewhere and keep the conversation light and friendly for a first date. If you feel the chemistry then just let it happen naturally. If it gets awkward the best ice-breaker is just to say that you are nervous...it's really cute to a girl and flattering. It's better than sitting in silence. Just bring up that you are happy to give her a lift home whenever she is ready. Nice and polite and every girl loves a gentleman!

Start with dinner. Use that time to talk to her and find out what she likes to do... her hobbies and interests. Then you'll get ideas of what to do next. And ask her... say "Hey, would you like to go here... or do this..." Getting the date is half the battle!

Dont think about it to much! If she likes you enough to say she wants to go out with you then youve already been doing the right things :) Just continue doing what you havve been doing. Take her to the cinema and aske after it what do you want to do now, Go a drive , walks, take her to the arcade and win her a teddy...just be you don't make to much obvious effort. Ask her what she would like to do. Or even have nights in and order a take away and rent a movie :) You'll be fine :) Just be YOU ! x

Traditionally, you would pick her up and maybe get her flowers or something sweet like that, and then ask her what she'd like to do and give her some options. Or, if you wanted to be really romantic, you could think of a nice place to surprise her with. It doesn't have to be expensive, but just a place that means something to you that you want to show her.

A couple of warnings, if you ARE going to a paid place, you should offer to pay but if she wants to help pay then DO NOT INSIST FURTHER. It could result in a fight (some girls want to be independent). Also, try to be chivalrous, I promise she'll like that. :)

Good luck!

If you know her real well and she trusts you, then you should offer to pick her up. If the two of you do not know each other well, you should ask her if she would like to meet at the restaurant or would she like you to pick her up and give her the option to choose.

The first date, no matter how great it is going, it is best to end it after dinner. There is something about stretching out the time together too soon that can actually work against you. Instead, at the end of the date, if she seems to have enjoyed herself you should end the date by being prepared to ask her for the next one. And not a wishy washy "hey this was fun, we should do it again" but by actually having a plan. I have a girlfriend whose current boyfriend asked her for a game of tennis at the end of their first date. It showed he had paid attention to her, he found out she played tennis regularly and it made for an interesting second date and she accepted.

Do not try and kiss her at the end of a first date and if you met at the restaurant, walk her to her car. If you picked her up, walk her to her door. If she hugs you great, you may also feel comfortable giving her a quick hug, but you be the judge.

You asked her to dinner, so pick a restaurant. Some place nice but not too fancy. Too fancy and formal gives the impression of trying too hard. Second, because you asked her to dinner for a first date, I would stick with dinner. It gives you the chance to talk and get to know each other. And third, because you did the asking, you do the paying. In my eyes, whoever does the asking, does the paying. It's only fair.

As for picking her up, it's always nice to be picked up for a first date. Now, that being said, make sure your car doesn't look like a garbage can or dust pan. Clean it out, wash it, vacuum, clean the windows, the whole thing. A good first impression is key.

On that note, you should also make sure that you don't look like you just came off a 5 day bender. Clean shaven, hair neat, tidy clothes, not wrinkled like you could've slept in them for a few days. Keep in mind the restaurant. If it's some place on the fancier side of things, make sure to look like you belong. If it's a little laid back, still look presentable.

Don't try too hard to impress her, she's already said yes, so that means she's interested. Let her get to know the real you. Talk about interests, and keep the conversation somewhat light.

I hope this helps. And GOOD LUCK!

Answerer Does he have his licence? If so he can borrow his parents, OR if that's not an option, he can always ask to borrow a friends. Otherwise I would suggest choosing a place close by both places (or closer to hers) and walk (if it's nice out). Hmmm...there are many variables. - 2 months ago

Try and relax, for a start. You can only go to dinner, then see what happens next. Personally, I don't like guys being too pushy on a first date. Keep the conversation going through the meal, but don't exaggerate or big yourself up. She'll soon find out that it's fake. As the other answerer rightly says, offer to pay, but accept gracefully if she want to pay half. You could suggest a drink in a bar afterwards, maybe, but at some point, if you want to see her again, you're going to have to ask her. Have an idea in mind, like a show or something. You probably think it's unlikely, but after talking to her for an evening, you may find that she's not the girl you thought she was. If she is, and she agrees to another date, then the signs are good. If she says no, then don't take it too personally. Good luck.

First I would like to comment that some of the peoples answers on here are really rude. I don't see the problem that you have never been on a date at your age. People are so stupid and always judge people just because they have never had a boyfriend/girlfriend. It makes me so angry that people make assumptions before they even meet you. Just go with the flow. Be yourself and have fun!

hang on..you're 25-29? ah ok I'm not gonna judge, because everyone has their own moments. You pick her up at her house usually, and take her to dinner. If the conversation goes well during dinner, suggest a movie or just go for a walk, just hang out be creative. You will know if you have chemistry or not by that time.

Well, first I would recommend that you chill the f*** out. Overeagerness is not an attractive trait in men.
I would, personally, recommend for a first date just going to dinner and talking. It's better to do that then to go somewhere where it's harder to get to know each other, like a movie theater. You probably should have planned in advance how you were going to get there, but since you haven't I would recommend either asking her now what she wants to do, or just going and picking her up. Actually, no. Better idea: call her and tell her you're going to pick her up at whatever time you are able to pick her up.
I'm honestly surprised by your complete lack of having any idea what to do. "All this" can work in a variety of different ways, depending on what the two of you want to do. Just use your best judgment. :\

DrJones I think what Rainbows said is all generally good advice. Also important: try not to expect too much (positive or negative) - first dates are best when they're low-pressure events with uncertain outcomes. - 2 months ago

Dude don't get too caught up in the pre-game. She might not turn out to be the girl you think she is and you'll be setting yourself up for a major let down. I suggest just go with the flow of things and work with the hand you're given if her body language give you the go extend the date and go for the kiss if you think she's totally into you.

You pick her up. (do not take any gifts, flowers--some guys do and you're dead in the water, trust me.) Take her somewhere nice but not overly expensive, and give a tip. First date you can take her anywhere except a movie.. See how she's reacting (watch body language like hair-flipping, putting on make up and keeping eyes on you. Especially watch for her laughing and toughing you. If you get positives, go for the kiss (don't ask her, just do it). If she turns away, take her home (or if you are at her home) leave. If she goes for it but does not invite you in, say goodnight and leave (never ask her if she enjoyed herself, and don't call her after you get home or the next day). If you are somewhere and she grabs your hand to guide it places, you're on your own.

seduce her...touch her, not in a sick way grab her waist hold for a few seconds then let go. Repeat this exercise. Gaze into her eyes, compliment her, not too much. joke around with her be playful. Grab her hand later, see if she gribs your back, if she does than she likes you!

It's the way you word your question that some people aren't taking you so seriously. Here's a link of some things you can do.

Now some of those seem "kid-like" but you get a basic idea of what to expect in a date, and that's to have fun and enjoy yourself. Learn about her. Talk and be attentive and listen to what she's saying. But most of all, you got to be yourself. Good luck.

dude calm down. now is not the time to get over excited. you have a date to plan. ok for you probably wanna do something involves a lot of talking and interaction, so go to a dinner then maybe walk around a park at night or sunset. what ever you do DON'T! try and make it perfect. the harder you try to make everything perfect the more likely it is to fail... the first date is all about having a little fun getting to know each other a little and just see how you feel when with the person around.
ok so take her to a place that's nice but not too expensive like anywhere the food is around 10$ a plate. do not take her to something like McDonald's or burger king and relax. when your talking to her ask a lot about her and wait until she asks about you before talking about yourself. and when you do talk only about what she asked and don't go on and on rambling about yourself she only wants to hear as much as she asks wait till further dates to talk more about yourself
and remember just have fun don't be too serious about this. its the first of many to come so set yourself up with a 2nd date not to fail

I'm guessing, the odds are, is that she's a human just like you, so exactly what you think you should do probably isn't too far off the mark (I'm guessing you've been out to dinner before with friends, or family).

Just plan on going for dinner, nothing more, nothing less. If things don't work out, it gives either party a good chance to call it a day afterwards. If it's going really well, then maybe suggest going for a drink or walk afterwards.

Do you pick her up? It depends, ask her, some girls prefer to make their own way there.
