  Don't Get Sloppy Drunk

  
  You want to make it a night you love to remember, not a night you love to forget. Or a night you couldn't remember if you wanted. Look, just pace yourself, and remember you've got nothing to prove and you're trying to have fun. So, sure have a few to take the edge off. Just remember, you're trying to be Robert Downey Jr. now, not Roberty Downey Jr. in the 90s.

  If the Other Person Seems Incredibly Bored Just Call it Quits

  
  There's a simple rule for life, relationships and first dates, "If the bad out weighs the good, do something else." It's a first date, don't force it if the two of you don't have a connection, there is no reason to stick it out. Even if it seems a bit rude, at least you won't be wasting the rest of either of your evenings.
