Look smart, but not too smart. You want her to think that you take good care of yourself but not in a vain way.
Bring a small gift for her. Nothing expensive, maybe something she’s mentioned that she’s always liked, something that is relevant to your conversations online or something funny. For example, say she likes cats, buy her a funny cat book or a small cuddly toy cat. It means she has something to take home with her to remind her what a thoughtful guy you are.
Be a gentleman – hold the door for her, offer to pay (don’t make a fuss if she insists on buying for herself) help her on/off with her coat, etc. Don’t mention your ex (if she comes up in conversation just say something like “that’s all over now” and move on to something else.
Be light-hearted, but don’t try too hard to be funny. If things go wrong (you spill coffee on yourself, for instance) be prepared to laugh it off rather than getting embarrassed or angry.
Ask her questions about herself. Try playing a game that my hubby and I played when we first met – taking turns to ask each other questions. It started off serious (like what books we were reading) and got silly towards the end (which do you prefer jelly or custard). It was fun, intimate and we learnt a lot about each other quickly.
Most of all, just relax and be yourself. It seems like you’re quite serious about her so just let that sincerity and eagerness shine through in what you do and say and she’ll be bowled over by you.
Good luck.
smile, don’t ask too many serious question, show interest in what she is saying and keep the conversation light and friendly. If you want to see her again don’t suggest dinner or a club, perhaps the cinema or ten pin bowling. You need to be friends before anything else can develop good luck!
Here is a really great link to a site that is so helpful with dating questions. Go to: http://www.datingtips247.com My brother in law just started in the dating scene again and he didn’t have a clue. We found this site for him and he loves it! Good luck!
do not discuss your ex or how she f’d you over
keep it light, do not get into serious subjects, money, sex, politics or religion
Dress smartly but casual !!! Make sure you smell good and keep topics of conversation light and try to make her laugh.
