Here's some tips for the ladies:
1. Don't be so nitpicky! Women may try to pick apart a guy's character on the first date, while we're trying to get past the fact that you're so beautiful...it makes us nervous that we make goofy mistakes to cover up our insecurities. Give us some slack.
2. Try not to get turned off at a guy who gets nervous. Don't follow your emotions. Follow your brain. You tell us to look in your eyes. After a while, it can make us very queasy. Not because we're disgusted, but because we look at those chocolate or marble eyes of yours, and our hearts practically get ripped out of our chests.
3. Don't be arrogant. Girls are definitely not perfect, but thanks to your looks (I don't care how chubby or ugly you think you are, some guy somewhere thinks you're a fox), it obscures all the imperfections in your personality.
4. A lot of guys LIKE to be gentlemen. But sometimes we forget. Please remind us gently.
5. Forgive us if we want to talk about things like marriage and sex. We are WIRED for it, and it's on our minds quite a bit, as I'm sure you're aware. Try to encourage us to keep it clean, but don't be offensive about it.
6. Forgive us if we say something that seems insulting to you. Like if a guy says, "I could teach you a lot." Don't interpret that as "He thinks I'm stupid." Take guys words for EXACTLY what they say. Miscommunication is big between sexes. Know the fact.
7. Be AVAILABLE. Yes, we'll call once, maybe twice, up to 10 times if we're desparate when you aren't home, but if you never call back, a guy will move on (hopefully).
8. Check out "Guy knowledge" at ericandleslie.com for everything else you need to know about understanding guys.
1. Girls are typically nervous as well and swooning over the sweet smell of your cologne and your overall cuteness. Picking apart character has to happen at some point unless you are the type to date for the sake of dating. Some of us girls are more wise than you may think and much less judgmental
2. Hmmmm...I have difficulty looking in someone's eyes myself, especially if the guy is cute and is giving me a compliment.

Girls get bashful too. If we think you are a cutie and we like you, we aren't going to judge you just because you hit your head against the glass of the movie ticket booth
3. Arrogant? yes, I suppose some girls are. But, for the most part, even the supermodels have parts of themselves they find ugly or unattractive. Most girls don't go around thinking they are hotties. We are highly self critical, even the prettiest ones are. Trust me, even if she is confident there are insecurities.
4. We shouldn't have to remind ya'll.

I think it would be kind of rude and not becoming of a lady to tell a guy he needs to open the door for her. You either do or you don't and I can see that. Most guys don't have problems with this. And most girls will not judge you based on whether you remembered to open the door.
5. Still on a first date, sex and marriage are not really things to discuss, unless you know one another very well or are getting engaged! Discussing expectations for what kind of girl/guy you want to marry is fine. You don't have any need to discuss sex on a first date, in fact you shouldn't have a need to do so unless you are very serious and want to discuss past mistakes (not in detail) or are planning to marry and then there should be a discussion of expectations. Wired for sex? Haha. Um, both sexes are wired for sex

Just because yours is on the outside doesn't mean girls don't struggle with lust or have thoughts about sex. Neither sex needs to verbalize those thoughts.
6. Agreed.
7. Yah. Just make sure ya'll actually call us when you say you will.
