You met him and realized that you want to continue your acquaintance, you've probably changed your phone numbers and you are waiting for a date, which promises to be great.
First of all, don't be nervous. First date is just a first date. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you won't see him again.
- Chose a place that you know best, where you feel comfortable and will be able to talk without disturbance. It can be a restaurant or a bar.
Other public places such as cinema or a football match can be too public to have enough time to talk in quiet.
- First impression is very strong; this fact was known long ago. Don't ignore to care about your appearance. Clean clothes and underwear, pleasant scent would do the best.
If you don’t know his clothing tastes well, it would be better to put on something that is not so extravagant, not mentioning that it should suit the situation.
At the beginning of your date you may feel rather confused, worrying about what is going on in his mind, did you make a good impression or not and so on.
Believe me, he is thinking the same things.
- You can discuss anything, more important is "how" than "what". Listen to him attentively, but remember that behind words stay real emotions.
Intonation and gestures tell more about him than words actually. Use your eyes, they are much more expressive, and trust your intuition.
Don’t go too far in your expectations; you can never be sure if he is a guy of your dream, especially because he can turn out to be not what your imagination has drawn so colorfully.
- If you are not sure about his sex orientation, it would be better not to make him face the naked truth just at once: "I’m a gay. Let's start."
- Try to gather as much information about him as possible, for example you can find out what he really thinks of gays by discussing related topics in films or TV programs, where he can tell his opinion.
And you should always weigh possible consequences and chances before.
Even if he will turn out to be a heterosexual, you may stay friends at least.
