Also in all sorts: Do remember you're talking to a person, regardless of gender.  :v
Sentimentalities, for one.
Do: do something original. "Dinner and a movie" is as completely generic an boring and unmemorable as you can possibly get. Don't show a girl that your'e boring and unmemorable.
Like this, for example.
First sentence? Ok.
Second sentence? A spawn of modern advertising and 'omg you shouldn't do this because [reasons]'
Third sentence? Back to Ok.

The advice should be to operate on how you know that person: its all in what you put into that activity rather than the idea of the activity itself. There is no surefire way to do these things other than:
> Do it with all you can, and do not rely on stereotypes or whatever to know a person
> Know a person and understand em when it comes to these scenarios. Specifically, dating.
> Be open. Open minded...and all that.

*AHEM*

How about

Don't: approach a human being as a pop psychology focus test :P

That's what I was saying :v What we're saying is to contradict any uncertainty--however it is up to the OP's knowledge to use such and such.

You could do with a bit of explaining yourself, too. :-\

July 5, silly. Also ask me that in a PM and not in this kind of thread. xD

Also, as a relevant note, keep your thoughts Simple, H_I. It's like talking to a friend and/or meeting and making a friend. Just like that.

In any case, it's probably not worth going overboard on meeting a girl whom I've never met, have only seen in Facebook photos, and am going on a date with as a means of introduction.

I know.

It's just...

I'm meeting her as a potential romantic interest, rather than as a friend for whom I may later develop an attraction (which i never act on, 'cause nerves). It feels different, anyway.

You can do this! Unless you've any problems still nudging you there?

Been on one of these before. You should probably realize that if she's being set up for dates, it's improbable that she's some kind of social goddess who has her pick of the man-heap. The guy I went out with was a guy who was, yes, brilliant but was doing a PhD on modeling salmon populations and had a personality rather fitting to that endeavor.

He was pleasant enough, but yeah, don't worry.

Eh... It went okay. Funny thing, though, I ended up going on a date with a different girl the day before, and, honestly, I liked her better. Turns out, it's easier to have a date with someone when it wasn't set up by a third party. Who'da thunk?
