Where to go, what to do & not to do on that first date

It seems like a lot of you have got it sussed. Basically most of you reckon you should just chill out, be yourself and go somewhere where you can talk easily. What Not To Do? Don't get hot 'n' heavy!

Here are a few of the dating tips other teens have shared with us.

Where to Go:

Bowling - get over all your embarrassment in one bad bowl - have fun from then on.
Somewhere casual, no stress, fun e.g. the beach
For ice-cream
Walk along the beach or a picnic
Laser strike or skating - because then it won't get boring and get a lot of laughs from it
Anywhere relaxed - mall, movies, beach, etc
Nowhere special, just a casual place
Out to dinner
Out for coffee or a drink
Movies
Gigs, concerts
Somewhere fun and casual and not too heavy for a first date
Café
McDonald's
Art gallery
Out in the open - park, beach, Botanic Gardens, Avon River…
The rugby

What To Do:

Pay for yourself
Eat food
Just take it slow, be yourself and get to know each other
Flirt and eat slowly - with your mouth closed
Talk, listen, joke and be yourself
Smile lots
Hang out, chill out and get to know each other
Nuthin competitive - guys hate to lose!
Find out what you're both interested in
Flirt a little, let them talk and make it light-hearted and fun by being calm and casual
Dress nicely
Kiss goodnight
Be yourself - yeah, itz cliché but true - if he/she doesn't like you for your personality itz not meant to be
Kiss and share popcorn
Just enjoy each other's company
Stargazing - very romantic and lots of fun
Eat exotic curry - but check if your date is keen on it first!
If you want to take it further, arrange another time to meet later
Compliment her, be interested, lead her into open conversations
Maybe go on a double date with another couple
A group hang is probably the best for a first date

I hate it when guys think they are the shiznat and act all smarmy. Its so skoady and such a turn off
Act desperate - cling to them and stuff
Be boring
Complain or whine or anything
Forget to wear underwear
Don't make a move, whatever you do
Run away - trust me, it's been done!
Get too excited
Talk about yourself too much
NEVER come on too strong on a first date
French kiss
Talk about your other crushes
Yawn
Play computer games
Drink too much
Flirt with someone else
Ice-skating - it's fine if you can do it but if one of you can't, then falling and total embarrassment is guaranteed!
