When in private, be sure to move slow, starting with touches on the hand and low on her thigh. Any touch, including kissing, should be stopped if she pulls away or otherwise seems uncomfortable. Reassure her that you won't do anything she doesn't want you to do. Part of respecting her wishes is to restrain yourself verbally as well as physically. While flirting is acceptable, it usually is not appropriate to be lewd. Leave those jokes at home. In addition, her impression of you extends to how you treat people around you. Be as complementary and charming to everyone else as you are to her. Being polite and respectful involves not talking badly about past relationship partners, too. It's often better to avoid this subject entirely and focus on your current date partner. In the event that the date doesn't end the way you want, keep your calm. She is under no obligation to go home with you or even see you again. If she isn't ready to go home, respect her wishes. Greet her goodnight even if you don't kiss. This way, you'll maintain any trust in case you do meet again.
