2. Be romantic, do something that shows how you feel about him/her. But don't do something cheesy, make it unique to your relationship and as your relationship grows make it more intimate with every date.
3. Never talk about old ex's or people you are interested in. Its a conversation killer and creates an awkward moment for the both of you.
4. Be engaged in the conversation. A conversation is two way you need to participate through listening and talking. There is a delicate balance, you can't be talking for the whole date or you won't learn anything about your date. At the same time you have to contribute to the conversation.
5. Don't use terms like love and marriage especially early on in the relationship because so often these terms are misused and should only used when there is absolute certainty.
6. Be open to each other differences and shortcomings. Nobody's perfect and it is just so easy to end a relationship just because they don't meet your idealized dream of what the perfect boyfriend/girlfriend should be.
7. Respect their space. You don't own them and they don't own you. Let them engage in conversation with whomever they want, just remember that the bond you two share is stronger.
8. Take it slow. As the wise John Legend says "We're just ordinary people, we don't know which way to go, cuz we're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow" (Legend). Do not try to rush things. Take it easy and let your relationship blossom.
9. Be polite and courteous. No one likes a jerk, and no one wants to date a jerk. Be well mannered and respectful to your date and everyone you encounter.
10. Be yourself! Don't change who you are for anybody. Be proud of who you are, and if it just so happens that he/she does not like you for who you are then its their loss.
