dinner with a girl, much nervousness

Whoa whoa whoa, how nice is this restaurant? Are you going to some fancy French place, a Denny's, or the Burger King? Your dress should reflect where you're going. If you're going to the Burger King (haha loser) then you'd better dress casual. It won't do to have you show up in nice clothes when you're ordering a burger and fries.
If you're going anywhere halfway decent, at least wear a shirt with a collar, even if it's a polo shirt. A lot of girls dig the button-down shirts. Cologne is never necessary (and sometimes will turn off the date), but smell nice. Open doors, be chatty. Think of things to talk about before you get there. Have a few stories in mind. Try to be yourself. If you're a funny guy, be funny. In fact, dropping a few jokes or funny stories never hurts even if you're usually a quiet guy.
This girl obviously likes you if she wants to go out on a date, so you really don't have to do anything. Just be nice to her. Another poster recommended buying her a rose, and that's a really nice touch.
Walk her/Drive her home. When you get back to her place, ask if she wants to have anal. After a nice evening, it's inevitable that she'll say yes. In fact, she may be upset if you don't ask at all.

surprisingly, no...our town is small...population ~4000....school has 550 students
And one last thing, don't stress out about it. If she wants to do something after dinner, ask her if she has anything in mind. If she doesn't, offer to take her to the park. If there aren't any parks nearby, just walk around someplace like a mall.
And don't forget to ask her for the anal.

The shy is what's killing you I think. Physical appearance can be compensated for by a good personality and the ability to make the girl laugh. Although if you're really really ugly theres no hope. But if you're mediocre looking, with a good personality theres no sense why you cant get a mediocre girl 😉

In the back of my mind I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to devolve into this.
For the record... Never ask for the buttsecks.. just try to slip it in and see if she resists. Oh I'm so ashamed.

Take a deep breath and relax
go in with no expectations of a second date and just mentally relax for a pleasant evening
laughing at her jokes goes a long way
ps - I think a rose is waaay too much for a first date... daisies, tulips, etc would be a better choice, but I'd rather save flowers for the 3rd date (depending on activity)

Jot down a list of conversation topics before hand and go over them before the date. The worst part of a first date is SILENCE. It makes both people uncomfortable. Try to get her to do most of the talking by asking her questions about herself. That way she has the feeling of being appriciated and it shows your interest in her (this is a bad idea if the woman sounds like Fran Drescher. In that case, FORGET EVERYTHING I TOLD YOU).
Also, eat something that comes in small pieces (shrimp, pasta, etc). That way you don't feel uncomfortable eating something messy (BBQ is a bad first date choice LOL).
These suggestions served me well. Good luck 🙂

Basically repeating what most other said:
1. bring 1 nice flower (rose - pink is fine, sterling is nice but $$ and next to impossible to get readily)
2. let her talk, don't tell her your life story in detail, your hoddies in detail, school etc. If you find yourself talking for more than 3 minutes straight without her speaking, you need to STFU ;p
3. Open doors for her, let her pass first. If server doesn't pull out her chair for her, you should.
4. She orders first
5. Don't talk with your mouth full of food. If you have to respond to a question and you just shoved food in your mouth, hold the napkin in front of your mouth as you talk.
6. If she asks loaded questions, be careful how you answer.

1. Relax, unless something unforseen happens like the restaurant getting hit by a meteor, you will have a good time.
2. Ask her questions about what she is doing and what her interests are. Listen to what she has to say. Do not make the mistake of just talking about yourself.
3. If the money you have for dinner is an issue, tell her what you can afford.

I'd have to say the rose isn't such a good idea. Roses say love, and if she sees it the same way it might come off as a bit presumptuous. Also, it might be a good idea to tell her you were a little nervous about the date. She might see it as "wow, he was nervous about going out with me!" and take it as a compliment. Sometimes those kinds of statements make a big deal. The nicest thing a girl has ever said to me wasn't even meant to be a compliment, but to me it was, she told me she thought I was "unattainable". That fvcking floored me. See how that works?

small, yet important points to remember 🙂
Good luck man, let us know on Sunday how your date went.

You're being silly. "For some reason, she wants to go on a date with me?" "Some reason?" She likes you, you silly fool. So, what do you have to do? Be yourself, since she already likes YOU. Now, remember to be showered, dressed nicely (don't over do it), have a napkin handy because I tend to sweat when I'm nervous. Have some breath mints incase the smoochies are imminent... But have fun, don't think too much (like I always do!) and have fun. The worst that could happen is that you just have dinner with a friend, the best that could happen is that you guys end up sweaty in the back seat of a car. Either way you'll have a good time, right?
