You've set the date, and now, it's time to pick the perfect date for your first time out together. You select.

dinner and a movie

a sunset stroll on the beach with wine and cheese

a trip to the carnival, complete with cotton candy and the win a bear booth

concert followed by cocktails

Since you both are getting to know each other, the talk turns to family. When pressed for information on your parents, you.

Offer up occupation and whereabouts, not much more

Paint a glowing picture of the perfect American family

Tell some fun memory of the time you got poison oak as a kid and mom showered you with board games, movies and chocolate

Change the subject. Mom and dad aren't on the top of your list of must have discussions

Your best friend just happens to show up in the middle of your date, effectively ruining any hope you had of making it a one on one evening. You.

Let him sit down, and look for ways to escape

Effectively tell him to piss off and go back about your business

Find a way to include your friend without making your date feel like a third wheel

Let your friend join the party-like three friends kicking it after school

It's been a long time since your last date and you haven't a clue what to wear. Assuming you're dressing for your date, not any specific location or event, you wear.

What you had on at work. might as well.

Any one of the five outfits you had pressed and ready to go for the occasion.

Something comfy, something casual, something very you.

Whatever's clean.

He's planned what he thinks is the perfect first date, and you're just not feeling it. Maybe you don't like sushi-maybe mini golf doesn't agree with our wrists. You decide to.

Make the best of it, try and get it over with quickly, and slip in with a quick suggestion on something else you can do next.

Suck it up. No sense in being rude.

Find a way to change it up so you're happy too. Most sushi restaurants have salads. Mini golf has video games, bumper cars and nachos. And, if you don't think you'll hurt any feeling, maybe you hint you might like to do something else.

Say something because you doubt you'll be able to hide your disappointment.

Someone had the bright idea to make your first date all about karaoke, and even though you can't sing worth a damn, you're going to make the best of it and sing.

"I Will Survive"

Something from Phantom of the Opera

Some Kiss, Queen, maybe Joan Jett.

A random rock anthem absolutely no one has heard of

When the waiter comes around to take your drink order, you.

Stick to iced tea for yourself

Order a bottle of wine for the two of you.

Opt for something stronger, such as vodka or a margarita

Ask for coffee, black

"How was your day"? Pretty standard first date question. Once you've had a chance to catch your breath (and maybe order that drink) you.

Give a brief rundown of some highlight and ask, "What about yours"?

Ramble on about specifics and get around to her day after your order's been taken.

Make a joke and say, "I'd much rather hear about your day."

Offer up an "OK" or a "not bad".

You tend to be the type who obsesses over things on a first date. Typical focus of your obsession.

Am I saying the right things?

Is this someone I'd like to see again?

I wonder what we should do next time we're together?

Why do I even bother?

The night has come to an end and, like most people, you're struggling with the perfect way to end the night. Instinct tells you to.

Reach in for a kiss on the cheek, on the lips if signs say yes.

Probably cap it at a lingering hug.

A good old fashioned make out session never hurt anyone

If you're really into it, why does the night have to end? If not, end the night in the driveway.

You're doing well, and everything you're feeling and trying is normal. You tend to like things pretty standard-which isn't a bad thing. There are far worse things than going with the flow. But it wouldn't hurt to take a risk sometimes. shake it up. Try something little out of left field for a first date. Don't be afraid to speak your mind a bit more. That said, you're certainly accommodating and take an active interest in the people you go out with. And in the long run, that's worth major points.

You dress to impress, and by dress we mean the whole package. Perfect date, perfect idea of how you should come across. The one problem is that sometimes, you're too worried about being perfect. So worried you may not realize your date might not be that into wine or might not really want to hear about the ins and outs of a day at your office. Let your guard down, let loose a little bit and don't worry so much about giving off the All American dream vibe. Continue to play up your "got it together" strengths because, in a world of people who are still trying to find themselves, that's hot. Just don't worry about playing the part 24/7.

You're a real charmer who isn't afraid to be himself. You can have fun, kick back, not stress about much-how rare (and wonderful) is that? Just watch that you don't cut too loose. Dates are about having fun and getting to know each other, but you're also the type of person who gets caught up in the moment and goes wild. Definitely show that side of you, just in moderation. And don't ever apologize for letting people see the real you.

Whether it's a lack of interest or a lack of confidence that's keeping you shut down, it shows. That dark and mysterious act may work with some people, but in the long run, it grows old. From your choice of date to the little ways you subtly show you're just not that comfortable, you're giving off the vibe you'd rather be anywhere than on a first date. Give it some effort, and if you can't, sometimes the smartest move you can make is in recognizing you aren't ready for something.
