First Date Ever Tips?

I am 23 years old and I recently met this woman online, who I haven’t seen since elementary school. We chatted online for a few months and then she gave me her phone number. We spoke on the phone few times and she kept asking me of I wanted to meet up. The thing is, back in elementary school we were not really friends. In fact she ignored me. After her persistence and me having a few beers I agreed to meet up with her near a local cafe . Now that I am sober, I started to think WTF did I just do? I am 23 years old and never went out with a girl before. I am very, very shy (unless I have few drinks).
Any first date tips? I feel like I am going to screw up pretty badly. Of all the dudes in the world, why would this girl want to date me, lol. I look ok, but I am very shy.
Can anyone give me any first date tips?

I Need Help! How Do You Take That Next Step To Feel Comfortable To Seriously Date Online?

I need help! I’m a 26 yr old guy starting to delve into online dating as another venue. Up to this point, I’ve always felt meeting online and conversing intimately online to be two dimensional for my taste and just not for me. I’ve always felt conversing and relationships in person were more genuine.
But, I’m trying to change this because I met two great girls who would like to know me and vice versa online (unfortunately it’s long distance too). This experience is completely new to me and I need basic tips on communication, feeling comfortable doing so and being able to keep things fresh and non repetitive. I think my main problem is just getting past the ‘how are you’ type letters and feel i need to up the intimacy to show interest. If I don’t I usually withdraw but how do i do it without seeming like a pervert or coming off desperate?
I know I’m asking a lot, but could you provide me with good and bad experiences, several things to avoid talking about and things to talk about?
Much Thanks!!

If You Are In Your 30s And Don’t Want To ‘online Date’, What Are Some Other Options?

I’m almost 30 and don’t want to date people at work.
I’m at a loss as to how/where to meet good single men and re-enter the dating world.
Any advice?
I’m a non drinker,non smoker, not into the bar or club scene.
I’ve tried the gym, yoga, and cooking classes.
Will men approach me or do I have to approach them?
Are men afraid to approach women today?
Would a man think I’m crazy if I started talking to him & asked him for a coffee/tea?
I wish men were more comfortable striking up a conversation and asking women out if they saw her at a grocery store, bookstore, coffee shop, etc.
How do people date today? I’ve tried online and it’s not for me. I’ve tried meeting through friends but they’re all married with kids (30s-40s).

I’m A Female, In My Early Twenties And I Need Tips For A First Date With A Beautiful Girl Who I Met Online

By the way, this would be my first date with a girl I met through the internet and I’m excited to meet her in person for the first time. I have only been on one other date with a girl and that was more of a fling (because she didn’t want anything serious). Anyway, I’m not very experienced at dating chics and I have never had a relationship with one – but it would be great if it worked out with this girl.
Any good ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
