I am extremely nervous and don't want to mess anything up. As you may be able to tell, I've not dated in awhile. We will be going to dinner and I would like some tips and the what and what not to do.Thank you so much for your help.

 I suggest looking your best- hair, outfit, nails, etc. If you feel confident, you will probably be able to relax more and just focus on having a good time. Don't have any expectations- look at it as two people going out and getting to know each other. If you put too much pressure on yourself or expect too much, you may become disappointed. Just go out and have fun! And be yourself!
As far as "don'ts": don't get drunk, don't go home with him (and don't take him home with you). Other than that, just be you and enjoy yourself. Good luck!

 Be yourself. Admit to being nervous if that's how you are feeling, it will break the ice as I'm sure he is nervous too, everyone is on a first date. Let conversation flow naturally as you did by talking on the phone. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and you will be fine. Remember it's just a first date. Oh but do make sure you are polite and try to stay away from touchy subjects like religion, how much money he makes, or anything far too personal for a first date. Just get to know each other more and have fun :)

Just don't do anything that you know you will regret.
