Keep a hankie in your pocket in case you get a nosebleed.
Drive if you can. It's cool to drive on a date. It's good not to rely on taxis if you go home early-ish and you can also (jointly) decide to bin the wheels at some point in the evening. Deciding to bin the wheels is normally a good sign.
Don't smoke too many reefers before you pick her up. AS a rule of thumb, if you can remember the alphabet, you’re probably about there.
Don't go out with a loaded gun in your pocket. It makes it hard to concentrate on what she's saying.
Don't turn up in a place where 130 of your mates are getting pissed. It will distract you from your date.
Try not to get into any fights while you're out with her.
If you happen to come across 130 of her mates, encourage her to move somewhere else. You want to spend time with her, not her dumb mates.
Fighting with her mates is probably not a good idea.
Go somewhere where you get dancing as early as you can. Dancing’s cool on dates, even if you’re shit at it. As well as the obvious benefits of getting you into her space, it can be a good indicator as to how things are going. Whether you’re good at dancing is irrelevant during a date. If she digs your moves, you’re in. If she isn’t, you’re probably not.
If you don't end up with as much as a snog after spending the best part of a ton on the night, try to avoid angrily shouting the exact figure at her in a sing-song voice as she tries to say goodnight. It won't help.
Most of your jokes aren’t funny. So if she’s laughing at the dumb stuff you say she probably fancies you.
After your date, her friends are off-limits for at least three weeks. She’ll get all twatty if you try it on with them within this time, even if you get nowhere with her. I have no idea why, it’s just one of those things you have to learn.
If you do drive, there’s nothing at all cool about handbrake turns, Police chases or crashing. Or Wham. Driving dead fast is about the best thing you can do though, they love that.
Mimic her moves a bit. If she touches her hair, you do the same. Laugh when she laughs.
Don’t follow her into the toilet.
Relax.
