Can you relate to any of the things talked about, or are you just nervous throughout?? When he asks you Q's, can you answer them? Or do you stumble over words and forget what you're talking about? If the date makes you more nervous, chances are that the attraction is more sexual than emotional. If you can talk with one another about interests and time flies by as you meet, that's a great sign that you've got something special.

Very best wishes to you!
I think this was excellent advice. People enjoy being able to talk about themselves. I would only add that it is important to simply be sincere. A lot of people make the mistake of trying to "impress" people but most of the time those efforts are quickly transparent. If the chemistry is there it will manifest itself sooner or later.

Go in with no expectations, but hold close to hope deep within above be positive, and do not worry too much about the possibility of making "mistakes" as sometimes our little quirks can be just as endearing to another as our obvious positive qualities.
Thanks for this!
