It can often be awkward trying to organise your first date with the girl of your dreams, the worrying starts immediately, hoping that everything will be okay, what to wear? were to go? will we get on okay? will she like me? will she want to see me again? It can leave a sense of insecurity among us but one of the best solutions would be to create a personal touch to the event, if your a dab hand in the kitchen and you can cook why not invite her over for dinner, personaly prepared by you, a lot of ladies love a man that can cook, you don't have to be an expert but the fact that you've made an effort would win her over.
I would suggest to ask her what style of dishes she likes and even what dessert or ice cream she loves, I would recommend this because she may have allergies or certain dislikes to different types of food, remember to have some soft background music with scented candles, this creates a relaxed mood for the two of you where you can dine, find out more about each other and feel comfortable, as a surprise after the meal you can offer her a gift of chocolates or a cuddly teddy bear with a card that reveals a romantic poem written by you, this would melt her heart and make her feel special to be treated in this way, it sure wouldn't be long before she would like to be invited back again.
