Summarize the following:
A fancy dinner date may put too much pressure on the both of you to keep the conversation flowing smoothly. If you want to make a good impression, take your date to do something fun that takes the focus off of each other. Consider playing mini golf, going to see a movie, or going to a concert. It's also a good idea to choose an activity that you know the girl will enjoy based on prior conversations. There's nothing wrong with taking it up a notch. When you pick your date up or meet her somewhere, give her a small sweet gift, such as a single rose. It will be even more impressive if you get her something unique that you know that she will like, such as her favorite candy. This shows that you care and pay attention to her. You may already know that your date probably won't think highly of you if you don't treat her with kindness and respect. However, how she sees you treat others may also significantly impact how she views you. Make sure to say "excuse me" if you bump into someone while walking down the street with your date, and remember to say "please" and "thank you" to the server at the restaurant you take her to. The kindness shouldn't stop at those around you. Don't gossip or say mean things about your ex, family members, friends, or anyone else. Hateful words may make her question your character. Similarly, be careful about swearing. Early on in the date, ask your date questions that are easy and familiar so that she can become comfortable. This will prevent awkwardness by helping to get the conversation rolling and may also set the stage for more personal questions later on. Ask questions like, "What's your favorite subject in school?" or "Have you lived here your whole life?" Most girls really appreciate undivided attention because it makes them feel valued. Turn your phone over or keep it in your pocket while you're on the date and only turn it over when she's stepped away to use the restroom. While she talks, maintain eye contact and nod now and then to show her you're hearing her. She will be even more impressed if days or weeks later, something she said on the date comes back up and you remember what she said. If you need to keep your phone on for work or a family illness, let her know that ahead of time, and put it on vibrate. If conversation is flowing naturally and you're feeling a strong connection to your date, it may be a good idea to get a little flirty. Incorporate some harmless teasing into the dialogue and/or reach out and briefly touch her hand or arm during conversation if it feels natural. Read her body language. If her legs and arms are crossed and/or she isn't looking you in the eye very much, she may not want you to touch her. Be careful with how you tease her. Some girls are more sensitive than others. For example, if she spills her drink on the table and you see her face turn red with embarrassment, don't tease her. Alternatively, if she starts laughing, you could smile and say "good job," while you help her clean it up. If after the date's over you know you'd like to see her again, don't waste any time being wishy washy. Call her that night or the next day, tell her you had a great time, and ask her on another date. She will likely appreciate your straightforward honesty and certainty. If she says 'no thank you' or doesn't seem to make an effort to keep in touch with you after the date, it's probably best to move on. Try not to text or call her anymore, and spend time doing activities you love with your friends or family instead.

Summary:
Pick an activity to do that requires some focus. Surprise her with a small gift if you're already acquainted with her. Be kind to those around you. Ask her simple questions about herself. Listen to what she says. Flirt with her if things are going well. Be assertive afterwards about wanting another date.
