Hello everyone once again! Here is another wonderful train for all of you. Hope you like it! Long time no see. Things have been interesting these past couple weeks. I wanted to get your help on a matter. I am a straight guy. I have never dated anyone and have never even been on a date. I wanted to get your opinion on what is a good etiquette to use on a date? What is a good attire to use on a first date? Should I pay for everything initially? I want to know things like that to keep in mind. Any help would be very welcome. In any case, I don't want to keep you guys and gals waiting any longer.

The Conductor Beckons!

PS: Add me on Steam if you want, I always like more friends. :)

PSS: Thank you for all your helpful advice, everyone. When I actually go on my first date eventually, I'll definitely make use of it. :)

If you end up going on multiple dates with multiple people (chances are the girls you're dating probably already are), you're going to end up paying a fortune if you follow the advice of others here and go for a meal every time, especially if they don't offer to split the bill.

I'd suggest just going for drinks instead - it's less formal, more relaxed, and cheaper. You can't really go wrong with smart casual either.

good etiquette

wear a nice shirt and pants (without anime characters)
don't beg for her leftovers (just put them in your pocket when she's not looking)
leave a huge tip, then pick it back when you leave (again, she shouldn't be looking)
if she goes to the bathroom, run away and let her pay 😁

I wanted to get your opinion on what is a good etiquette to use on a date? What is a good attire to use on a first date? Should I pay for everything initially? I want to know things like that to keep in mind.

All of that really depends a lot on the kind of date you're going on. Dressy dinner date (I don't recommend this for a first date, by the way)? Just getting to know one another at a movie or over some lunch? Chilling in the park? Since you're probably most wanting to get to know her better, I'd suggest something casual where there's no pressure - someplace you can chat, laugh, and have a good time and be yourself. Go to the park, or a a lake, have some coffee or tea at a cafe, etc. Dress comfortably, but nicely. The whole paying thing - when the check comes, go ahead and pick it up - if she offers to pay, you can politely let her know you've got it covered, but if she insists on paying for her own meal (or whatever) - let her.

Thanks for the ride, I feel the best way to be is just be yourself and treat her like a good friend, things will naturally flow better that way if theres a spark. Good luck :)

I think a cafe would be a pretty good place, if you'd like to talk a lot. Or generally a nice, quiet place that won't distract either of you. That's just me, though. :D

Good luck and thanks for the train!

A lot of great advice here, but here are my two cents from personal experience.
Don't know if you do physical exercises, but good body tone always helps - better sleep, stress relief, higher energy levels and feeling good about yourself. Beleive me - it shows on the dates. Basic push-ups or burpees do wonders, doesn't take a lot of time or need a lot of room to do them.
If you don't know a lot about her - ask her out for just a walk in the park with coffee, tea, burger even after that. Look for a few places to go, but I suggest against the worldwide-popular brands. Look for a decent (but not trendy) local place.
Don't just ask her what she is working / studying, but does she enjoys it. Maybe ask for her personal near-future-plans, but be prepared to tell her about your plans if you go on that path. A driven person is more interesting than "just go with the flow" person IMHO.
If you know a little bit more about her, think about going for something that you can do together - minigolf, arcade, or local event like a fair or festival, a bar for the pub games and drinks. A chance to do something fun, casual and get an unintentional physical contact maybe, to help the spark and get a smile.
Don't go fancy and formal dinner.
About the look - be clean. Shave, get a haircut and don't have text or character prints on the clothes.
If you act like "just a friend" you will not be considered "boyfriend" material, but don't be pushy or needy.
Be yourself and feel good about yourself. Be confident and have fun. Be a gentleman and make subtle compliments. You got it!
