There is a great possibility of you not getting another chance to go out on another date with a woman after screwing up your first date with her. Here are some tips that may help:

Take a shower.

Looking fresh and smelling good can help you gain a good first impression from your dates. This is especially true if it’s your first time, going out with someone.

Don’t make her wait!

It’s important not to make the girl wait for a very long time. Making her wait is not a good impression at all. It might seem that you do not care about her, or you may look unreliable and arrogant. Just get there earlier than expected. You might even think of a great entrance for the girl.

Be a gentleman.

Women feel special when they are with a gentleman. Now go on and open doors for her and let her pass through first. You pull her chair and go get her along with the people around you.

Listen to what she’s saying.

Avoid talking too much about yourself. Let your date feel that you are interested to know her. Listen to what she is saying and maybe you will have an idea what to say next. This will allow you to get to know her better. And knowing is half the battle.

Offer to pay.

It is appropriate for you as a gentleman to offer to pay. It may display an act of chivalry! However, other women would like to pay half of the cost. If she is insistent on paying, just accept it, but at least you offered, and that’s what counts.

Avoid Drinking Too Much.

Nobody likes a drunk. You may say or do the wrong thing. You want to be sober if you have to drive her home. Nobody likes to have police involved on the first date. The added benefit of not drinking too much is that you are less likely to slip up and so the wrong thing. No woman wants to hear an excuse of “sorry about last night, I got a little drunk”.

Hope this helps.
