If you walk to the date because you recently totaled mom and dad's car - and require a sponge bath in the bathroom to be presentable because it is 105 outside ...
Don't show up late and make your date wait while you do so. The first impression is already gone anyways.

Here's a somewhat serious one.
If you tend to be a nostalgic sort of person, DO NOT reserve special places that you and the ex used to go to. That is, never tell your date "We can't go there, that was my and x's favorite place"
I dated a woman (long long ago) who was like that. I think we only had about three restaurants in Milwaukee to choose from. If I wasn't so young and foolish at the time I would have recognized it for the trouble it was going to be.

I have a great tip:
If you are somewhat of a local celebrity in your tiny church, don't make church your first date destination even though it's a safe venue. People will get sore elbows and eyes from the jabbing and winking.
And you may just scare the man off. So, despite having a fantastic first date, he'll never date you again.
True story.

here's another tip i found:
Be positive. Don’t complain on your date. Nobody wants to hear how miserable you are. A poor attitude can destroy a date faster than anything.
i agree, not that you need to be fake, but if you are miserable or really down about something, why would anyone want to join you in your misery?

Because misery loves company?

True but would you want to be misery's company? In a romantic setting? (Friends are a completely different ballgame)

True! I understand. Plus if its our first date, I wouldn't feel comfortable to complain.

Right. We all need to reach out to friends at times for help. But unloading on someone you just met? Not cool. Plus if you're just wallowing in misery, maybe dating is not such a great idea to begin with, because you won't have a lot to give the other person. You would likely be way too focused on just receiving, and that's not a healthy way to start a relationship. (Or conduct one.)
