I finally mustered the courage to ask the girl I like for a date (next week).
But I've got no idea how this whole thing works [my social skills are sub-par... and I've never gone on a date before (-_-')]. Do you guys have any tips that could help?

P.S.: Thanks in advance

Just do something fun together and don't worry about the rest.

1) smile, look away, repeat.
2) Keep asking about things you want to know about her.
3) comment on things you find weird,funny, something to wow about.
4) impromptu a story about yourself a funny one annnd a sad one
5) thanked her for agreeing going out with you.

1. Mention your political opinions occasionally.
2. Don't call her beforehand, arrive five minutes late, or thirty minutes early. Fashionably early or late.
3. Dress in a suit every time you see her, and unbutton the first button an hour into any given date.
4. Eat mentos or altoids every ten minutes. Women love annoyingly minty breath.
5. If you get into the bedroom and she isn't a trap, comment on it. She'll laugh, and her laugh will cover up your depression.

Thanks Eff for the tip, even though it sounds simple it surprisingly didn't pass through my mind, so thanks; you most likely saved my ass tonight :)
It went well (at least from my perspective).
