Got a first date tomorrow, and I'm fairly excited for it. And I'm pretty sure she's not gonna flake on me (yes, finally) since she called twice in the last 2 days to make sure we were still on (though we did need to postpone our meeting til later in the evening since she had a late meeting come up). But anyways, I don't think I should be too excited when I meet her (I know I'll screw up somehow), so any ideas guys?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
How do you calm yourself before a first date?

I can help you out here, as I just went on a first date last week:Kal0051 said:
1.) Be mentally prepared. Know where you're going, what you plan on doing, etc. Think of some good conversation starters. If you try to wing it, you're going to be more nervous.
2,) Get a good night's sleep beforehand. Rest will calm you down.
3.) Before the date, play some music you like that gets you ready to go. I wouldn't recommend something like Metallica or Iron Maiden, but something that puts you in a good mood will do the trick.
4.) Take a deep breath. You're the one in control. No way you can go wrong.
Good luck man, let us know how it goes.

booze. 1, maybe 2 drinks if you're really frayed.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Agreed. Not only should you plan, but also make backup plans. When taking a girl out, always have a Plan B in case sh!t happens.
Then of course never talk about any of your preparation while with the girl. It will be obvious when things go well. Always know what you want to do. Women are natural followers.
