I found a tutorial on Psychology Today that outlines five steps to date successfully. Here are the steps:
1. Figure out what you want from a relationship partner.
2. Make overtures and obtain recognition.
3. Develop successful self-presentation and interactions.
4. Build rapport and touching.
5. Negotiate a mutually-satisfying resolution.
The tutorial also suggests taking her somewhere special, such as your favorite restaurant or a scenic picnic spot, wearing nice clothes that make you feel confident so you'll look and feel your best, asking her questions about the things she likes to show you’re interested and keep the conversation flowing, avoiding talking about exes on early dates, paying more attention to follow-through than advanced planning, not feeling obligated to send a thank-you text, giving them two weeks to reach out again, and waiting at least a few dates to have sex.
I hope this helps!
