she loves video games and you can take her to a local arcade. Find out and tailor your date around her. She will notice that you took the time to plan it, and she will eat it up.

A few parting tips:

1. Be a good listener an active listener. Women like to talk about themselves, so listen.But at the same time don't be afraid to talk. She will think that you are either really boring, or not really listening. You will probably be able to tell by her body language if you are talking too much or too little.

2. Be yourself, she didn't agree to go out with the guy you wish you were, she agreed to go out with you, flaws included. She doesn't expect perfection and she will appreciate being with a guy who is comfortable in his own skin.

3. Pay attention and be flexible. If you planned to do something and she had something else in mind find a compromise, you don't have to act whipped. But remember that you are both supposed to have a good time.

4. Remember that she probably spent at least two hours getting ready for your date, tell her that she looks nice, but not a generic "You look good." Pick something specific,her outfit,her earrings her hair, something. She knows you think she's hot, be specific.

5. Go up to her door when you pick her up. Don't sit in the car and honk. It isn't respectful and she deserves to be treated like a lady.

6. No matter what you do on your date she isn't going to be impressed if your shirt is dirty and you smell bad. Clean yourself up. Show her that you care about how you look to her. She'll appreciate it.
