Unless your grandchild-obsessed parents have blackmailed you into the date or you agreed to it in a fit of boredom, then your objective is to make a great impression on the said date.

So, check out these first-date reminders:

1. Don’t sell yourself too hard.
Resist the urge to throw your résumé at your date—no matter how wonderful it is. She won’t
be impressed by the fact you have a PhD if she finds you annoying. On a first date, put your best foot forward discreetly like so: “Well, now that you mention it, I like pandas and have tirelessly campaigned for saving them since I was a chubby little kid.” The “formula” is easy. You should always complement the nice-guy detail you reveal with something self-deprecating. A hard-sell man is hard to like.

2. Don’t discuss your ex.
Who cares if you’ve just come from a very bad breakup? Talking about your ex on the first date is just plain bad taste. You’ll give the impression that you’re not ready for anyone new. One sentence about your ex is enough. Beyond that, well, you can look forward to eating alone…for the rest of your life.

3. Don’t let your date pay for anything.
Even if your date insists on splitting the bill, make sure that you’re the only one reaching for cash. This is especially significant if you were the one who asked her out. Thus, if your date protests your generosity, tell her, “You can buy me coffee next time.” This way, you make it clear to her that you are a man of means and that you want to see her again.

4. Don’t ask intrusive questions.
There’s a line of questioning that’s sure to make your date hate you and it goes something like this: “Why are you still single?” Never put your date on the defensive by requiring her to justify why she’s dating. Many men still make this mistake. You should only ask this question if you suspect that she’s married or otherwise attached. Otherwise, you should just thank your lucky stars that she is single and out on a date with you.

5. Don’t get smug.
Never think that your date’s smiles and compliments on your looks guarantee a second date. Women are good at being plastic, you know. You won’t get a second date until after all the details of your first date have been dissected by her friends and, maybe, her mother.
