The First Date from A Woman's Point of View
By Jessica Brooks

The first date between two people can be an extremely nerve racking and uncomfortable experience. Two people trying to impress one another by putting their best foot forward.

As a girl I like first dates to be without a lot of pressure. For example, start the date out with something original and fun that gives both of you something to talk about or work together on. Be creative and take her to play putt putt golf, go bowling or ice skating. That way the two of you can laugh and have fun without so much one on one eye contact.

In comparison if you start the date out with a candle lit dinner at a nice restaurant it could be full of akward moments of silence. It could turn into the feeling of being at an interview where both of you are trying to think of questions to ask the other about themselves. If you have dinner after a fun activity you have both had time to get to know one another and the ice is broken. You have something to talk about besides the usual questions like "where are you from?", "what do you do?", or "do you have any brothers or sisters?".

Don't pressure a girl to kiss you on a first date. Women like to be treated with respect. Don't call a girl right when you get home from a date either. You will seem desperate to her. If you want to let her know you had a good time, send her flowers the next day at work or home with a cute light hearted note telling her how good of a time you had. Believe me she will be impressed.
