Start off with general questions like where she’s from or what she studied in school.

Don't ridicule, no matter what you think.
Turn off your phone or leave it at home. , Of course, you are more likely to continue a date at home if the girl is having fun.

Instead of focusing on what happens later, show that you’re a mature, consistent person who will respect her boundaries.
Continue on with the date. , At the end of the date, break any uncertainty or tension by asking her directly if she’d like to continue the date.
Think of what subject you discussed that served as a means of connection.

Try to build the connection more if you have a second date.
If she refuses, let her go.
Don’t pressure her. , Bringing her home, as well as any touching during the date, should only be done with consent.
