Throughout the years, men have always asked me, "How do I make that first date as perfect as she expects it to be?"
I'vecome up with a checklist of some of my favorite first-date tactics thatwill leave her glowing at the end of the night. In fact, these are sogood, she'll be texting or calling you within the next 24 hoursexpecting more of the same!

It's OK to suggest a drink instead of dinner for a first date. She dreads a potentially boring, four-course ordeal, too!
Alwayscall her by early evening on Tuesday to confirm a Wednesdayget-together -- it's the polite thing to do and it lets her know you'realready thinking about her.
Be sure to leave both your home andwork phone numbers. If you don't leave your home number, she mightassume you have a wife or girlfriend. If you don't leave any number,she'll wonder what game you're playing.
If you want to keep the plans a surprise, at least clue her in as to what to wear. You do not want an overdressed,overstressed woman navigating in high heels on a sunset beach walk.
Always listen to what she has to say, and make sure you wait until she's done talking before responding.
Don'tassume that just because you're out with a beautiful woman, she knowshow pretty she looks -- she wants to hear it from you. Don't gooverboard, though, or she might think you're insincere.
Men judge women according to whether they can picture having sexwith them; women judge men by whether they can imagine kissing them.White teeth, fresh breath, great shoes, cell phone turned off, andunchapped lips make her more apt to lock lips with you that night.
Donot ask her, "So, what kind of music do you like?" The last 10 guysasked that. Be original and instead fill your iPod with a great mix ofmusic that expresses your style.
Tip well. Believe me, she'll be watching.
Readingbody language is simple: If she touches your arm, she's interested. Ifshe touches your leg, she's interested tonight. If she leans away fromyou the whole night, she is not interested at all.
Very smallgestures go a long way and show her you're a gentleman. When you dropher off at her house, be sure to wait the extra 30 seconds while shegets inside (and next time you might be going in with her!).
Women need momentum. Without it, they lose interest or wonder if youhave lost it, too. Follow up with a phone call the next night. Evenmore important, ask her out at the end of the date. Don't play games orwait.
Never look at another woman when you are on a date. If she catches your wandering eye, you are done.
