It is very important for there to be some sort of guide for young ladies when it comes to dating. Nowadays, there is so much false information and bad advice out there that suggests a girl should bend over backwards for a guy in order for him to show interest, when nothing could be further from the truth. Here are three main guidelines to follow to ensure you have a wonderful time out with your new friend, and leave him longing to see you once more...

First and foremost, BE YOURSELF. Be the soft, feminine, lovely lady that you truly are inside. All too often girls will become nervous on dates and start talking way too much until she inevitably sticks her foot in her mouth. Just remain cool, calm, and collect. Do more listening than talking. Ask him questions about himself. He will love answering you, and you will leave him more curious about you than ever by keeping some of the mystery about yourself. You also want to meet him in a public place until you feel you can trust him alone.

Second, LET HIM SHOW YOU A GOOD TIME. Guys feel good about themselves showing a girl a good time on a date and knowing she truly enjoyed herself and her time spent with him. Wherever he chooses to take you, let him know you think that it is an excellent idea, unless you truly do not want to do it, then politely suggest something else. When the check comes, always attempt to help pay, but 9 times out of 10 a guy will pay the bill as long as he knows you are appreciative, and you are good company to be around. You shouldn't mind letting him, you are a lovely young lady, and it's a good thing that there is still a little chivalry left in this world.

Last but not least, NEVER LET A GUY PRESSURE YOU INTO ANYTHING YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH. We all know the first date is way too soon to take it to 3rd base. At this point, he is still a complete stranger and it will take some time to get to know if he is worthy of your affections. A brief kiss on the cheek or lips will do, depending on how comfortable you feel, maybe even a nice, warm hug. That will definitely leave him wanting to see you again. Always look your best, smell good, be confident but not over-opinionated and you will leave him with a lasting impression. Most importantly, have fun! Going out with a cute new guy is always a blast. When he drops you off, thank him for everything but do not ask him to call you, he will decide that on his own. Soon enough, you will hear that phone ring and he will be on the other end waiting to take you out on date #2
