Who pays?

Forget boring gender norms. If you initiated the date, you pay. If your date wants to split the bill, go ahead. Always plan ahead to pay for two.

If they paid?

Don’t feel obliged to do anything you don’t want to just because someone bought you dinner. If you want to even things out a bit, offer to buy drinks.

Awkward is okay.

All first dates are a little awkward—embrace it. Laugh off the tension by admitting you’re a little nervous.

Keep your head.

It’s your choice, but maybe avoid getting very drunk on the first date. You’re trying to pay attention to this person and decide if you like them.

Kiss?

If things are going well and your date seems open to it—go for it. Wait until you’re closer to the end of the date. And if your date is a guy, don’t necessarily wait for him to take the lead.

A little more?

Up to you and your date. There’s no rule as to whether it’ll work if you wait to have sex. You may celebrate your 80th anniversary decades after that night. Or not. Life’s a gamble.

Part two?

If you had a good time (or if you didn’t), say so. Be direct, but not pushy, about wanting to see your date again.
