Here is a short list of essential elements to a first date.

Dating tips: Personality
No matter what you think of yourself, always be you. Don't try to portray yourself as someone you are not. Lies multiply and no healthy relationship can be built on dishonesty.
Do not try to focus the entire date on yourself and your world. A more even approach will do more for the bond which may be growing between you and your date.
Focus on today without focusing on where you will be tomorrow with this person; if the relationship is meant to be it will happen naturally.

Dating tips: Activities
While there are many traditions that have changed over the years, the following are a few you may need to acquaint yourself with. These new 'traditions' include the arriving in separate cars (for safety reasons), double dating (again for safety when not knowing the other person very well at all), and in going dutch on a date (creating the 'equality' feeling if needed).
Ask if he / she would like to use one car or suggest that the two of you take cabs if you are going clubbing on a first date. Let your date know if you like how they look, how they dress, or even if you like something about where you are going, compliments rarely go astray.

Dating tips: Interaction
There are a variety of simple gestures you can also use throughout your time on your date to make the two of you feel at ease. These gestures include: simply walking side by side, looking at each other when asked a question that involves the both of your input, and compromising as needed on your first date.
