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 đ

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!

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. :)
