What's the key to a successful first date?

The key to a successful first date is to be yourself and have fun. Anything more than that is really gravy. I can't tell you how many times I've had friends who've gone out on first dates and they've had fun, and they've ended up being friends with the person, but not even going out with them. So don't put so much pressure on the first date, thinking this is someone I have to be in a relationship with. Just have the intent of going out there - you're meeting a new person, and you're going to enjoy yourself that evening.
