It can be difficult to be a woman in the dating arena. A lot of things can go wrong for you more than it can for your male counterpart. But, don't fret!

Here are a seven do and don't tips on what to do and not to do during your first date:
1) Be on time
Be punctual.There is no such thing as 'fashionably late'. For the first date, this can give the guy jitters and make him think that you've stood him up.

2) Keep your head on straight
Knowing what's going on during a date is important both for your own safety and love life. Is your date acting suspicious or just nervous? Maybe you'd want to end the date early or do something to calm him down. Situational awareness is not just for soldiers on the front but also for young women on the prowl.

3) Be nice
Have a positive attitude, find things that you like and tell him. Compliment him about his clothes, how he looks and how well the date is going. It puts him at ease and also makes him feel important. It also shows him that you're taking notice of him and you appreciate him.

4) Do not complain
If something went wrong, tell it to him in a nice way. The way you phrase it and the tone you use is important here.

5) Enjoy your first date
A date is a chance to get to know each other and to enjoy yourselves. Have fun during the date. Just take things in stride. If you're not having fun, your date will notice and, trust me, he will get nervous which will probably start ruining the experience for both of you. Also, just let your guard down for a little while. Let him see the real you. He may or may not like it, but in the end he will appreciate the honesty of the act.

6) Afterwards, show interest
If you really like the guy, waiting for the call after a successful date is nerve-wracking. You know he's interested and you're definitely interested, you're just waiting for him to call you so you could arrange another date. Try giving him a day or two. He usually has to get his act together and work up the courage to call. If he doesn't call, call him up to say hello. Talk about the date and how you had fun and give hints. He'll probably take it and ask you for another date!

7) Be consistent
For subsequent dates, try maintaining the impression you made on him on that first date. Men don't like surprises except, of course, if they plan them. Talk to each other, both on and off dates, to get to know each other more.
