Going out on your first date is nerve wrecking but what is more frightening is if you are going to clinch that second date.  Many men take out all of their charm and lay it out to make a wonderful first impression.  As the first date comes to a close, you have made up your mind whether or not you are going to want to go out with this person again.  In the case that you do, there comes the moment of insecurity where you may not know exactly what your date is thinking.  However, you should have no fear.  With these dating tips, you will be able to achieve that second date.

• Show interest in your date.  Ask her questions, comment on what she says and create a lively conversation.  She does not want to feel like she is talking to the wall nor does she want you to steal away the spotlight.  Listen to what she has to say and show interest in her.  If you do not or cannot, then this may not be a person that you should go on a second date with.  But if you do, show her you care as this will be a deciding factor for her to go back out with you again.
• Steer clear of topics that make people feel uncomfortable such as politics, finance, religion or any other polemic topic.  Talk about your common points of interest and ask her questions if you do not know anything about what she is interested in.
• Calm yourself when it comes to compliments.  You do not want to be too overbearing when it comes to saying you’re so sweet, you’re so nice, I’d really to see you again, you’re so beautiful and so on.
• Women want to feel secure all of the time, so when the first date winds down, relieve her and say that you would like to see her again.  Once she knows that you want to, she is most likely going to say that she would as well.

In addition to these tips there are a few common courtesies that often turn into pet peeves that you should avoid.  Do not talk with your mouth full, speak very loud in quiet places and shut off your cell phone.  Women find it extremely rude to take calls during a date when all the focus should be on her.  Bringing people on your first date is a total buzz kill even if they are just coming to drop you off.  As long as the body language is positive, then you can be assured that you will achieve that second date.
