A first date is an opportunity to get to know someone; if you screw up on the first date chances are you will never get another opportunity to show what a great person you can actually be. Nothing is worse than spending your time and your hard earned dollar on a date that is a complete bust. Leaving a date with a bruised ego and a few less dollars in your pocket is sad and annoying. However, being yourself is what is going to get you the girl or guy that you are interested in. But if you still feel like you need a little push in the right direction, here is a list of 13 things that you should never do on a first date. It is not a set of rules or a guaranteed set of tricks to get the girl or guy you want, but it will certainly help you to not look like a complete a** on your first date and it could quite possibly score you a second date.

13. Going Dutch

This is mainly for the guys; disclaimer: dutch is the cheap art of suggesting that you split the bill down the middle. Yes, there is feminism and all that good stuff but traditionally, why would you not want a guy to wine and dine you? It is sweet that he wants to pay for your meal and treat you to a nice time. So be weary of the guy who suggest dutch on the first date or even suggests that you pay for the whole meal. He comes off looking like a cheapskate and that is just sad. This is not to say that down the line he has to pay for everything but for the first date let him treat you. Chances are he was the one who asked you out anyway.
