We all know just how nerve wrecking that first date can be. If you really like the other person and you really want things to progress past the first date then it can add a lot of pressure. In some ways the first date is like an interview and your will get to know the other person and decide if he or she fits your idea of a boyfriend or girlfriend.

It can be a very difficult hurdle that many people don't get over. Its so important to be yourself but when we are nervous it can be very hard to be ourselves. We say stupid things and we do stupid things that are completely out of character. Often these stupid things can put the other person off to the point where the deal is off.

So, how can you overcome these dating nerves and relax and be yourself? Well, the most important step is with your approach to the whole thing. Never put too much on the future prospects of any particular person. You need to go into the situation with an attitude that says - I'm here to have fun with this person. I am here to make a friend and I have no vested interest in what might happen beyond this evening.

This will take all the pressure off you and you will not be so worried about impressing the other person. Your job is only to have fun and to enjoy the evening. In the end, all the pressure you will have on you comes from yourself. If there is a sexual connection, great! If there is no sexual connection, great!

That is the attitude to have. Don't try and still your nerves by drinking too much or by pretending to be something you are not. Usually when we try to impress people it only backfires.

Its important that you get the date off to a good start because a nervous start will only make matters worse. Pick a good location, have a plan for when you walk in and have a few topics ready to talk to.
