Here’s some first date advice: always, always, always have the date planned out. One of the biggest complaints I hear from girls about bad first dates is that the guy doesn’t have anything planned out.

According to my friend Lindsey, “When a guy picks up a girl for their first date, he should always have a restaurant picked out and an activity planned for after dinner. If he doesn’t have these things already planned, he comes off as the type of guy who can’t take charge. A lot of girls find that unattractive.”

Heed her advice guys. Pick out a good restaurant and a fun activity that’s conducive to conversation - not a movie (unless it’s back at her apartment)! And don’t forget, always have two backup restaurants and activities planned in case she doesn’t like your first choice.
