The moment has come. You have butterflies in your stomach. You are nervous but excited. What is going on with you? What is the big deal about going to your first date?

Hey, I know that going on a first date can be a nerve wrecking experience, but it need not be that way. Yes, you are nervous about saying or doing the wrong things on the date and is wondering how to impress him or her as you really do fancy the partner you will soon be going out with.

Get a grip on yourself mate, or otherwise, not only will your date not be impressed with you, the person you adore may even be turned off by your nervousness and stuttering single word vocabulary. So use these dating tips to leave a good and lasting impressive impression on your first date.

The first thing you should do is to relax. Listen to some soothing music while you are on your way to meet your date or just meditate on happy thoughts or on beautiful sceneries such as white sandy beaches or luscious greeneries and just relax. Come on, it is only a date, really. Treat it as an outing with a good friend.

Your aim is to have fun for the both of you and if you are a nervous wreck, how on earth are you going to have fun together, but awkward silent moments? When you don’t expect too much, you will be relaxed and so will your date.

One important thing to remember is that before going on a date, you must find out what your dating partner likes. Can you imagine what a disaster it would be if you bring your date to a dance club later to find out that your date does not like music and can only dance like a toad in heat? So find out beforehand what your date likes and then reach a compromise so both of you can end up being in a dating vicinity which you will both enjoy and have a whale of a time.

Another way to release stress so as to impress your date is not to think of the occasion as a date, but to know more of your partner. This is your moment to get to know someone special and make him or her feel special. So turn off your cell phone or at least put it in a silence mode while you enjoy the date.

When your date is talking, listen attentively and do not interrupt to talk about yourself. No one is going to be impressed with you if you keep talking about your achievements and your past glories, instead you may nauseate your partner with your oversized ego, or that is at least what your date will think.

Here is another great tip to impress your date. Do not take him or her to the usual dating places such as a dinner or a movie or just shopping. Remember, your desire is to leave a lasting impression. So do something different that your partner will remember such as going for a picnic at a beautiful location to watch the sunset or go horse riding or wine tasting. Just do something different that your date will remember.

The most important thing of all is just to be yourself and do not act like someone else and do not fib. Your date will know sooner of later and you will come across as insincere. If you want your date to be impressed, give him or her an enjoyable outing with you and you will leave a very pleasant and impressionable first date memory for the both of you.
