You only have one chance to make your first impression, and you'll want to make sure it isn't your last.

Show up to your date prepared, both physically and mentally. Prepping for a first date is like stretching before a workout. It'll keep you at the top of your game, and stop you from hurting yourself if things get heated.

Activate
Partaking in something active before a date is extremely beneficial, which explains why it is so popular in the dating scene. Dancing in the bedroom to my favorite song always works for me, but you can do whatever works for you. Exercising releases endorphins which will make you feel happy and energetic. This feeling will give you a glow and attitude that people will enjoy.

Relax
If you are the type of person who suffers from nervousness, you may want to give yourself some alone time before a date. You only get one chance at a first impression, so it's important to work out any nervous energy you are feeling. Drinking tea, meditating, and massages are great ways to cure nervousness.

Plan It
There's nothing worse than a first encounter that gets off to ...
... an awkward start, with no agreement on what to do. The best thing to do is to do a little research prior to your date. Check your local event listings for the evening in case you need something to do. It doesn't have to be an official plan, but it can't hurt to have a back-up plan.

Prime
When you look your best, you feel your best as well. It's a good idea to set aside enough time prior to your date to go through your prep routine. Do whatever you need to do to feel sexy. Good piece of advice: take one close-up and one afar look in the mirror before stepping out.

Come Prepared
Whatever you want to call that 'little piece of rubber' make sure to always have one packed with you. You never know what might happen, and it's always better to be safe then sorry.
