Having a first date tomorrow. Last date I had was 2 years ago. Taking her to watch the grudge (horror movie) since she's a horror buff. Planning to get a couple seat (not sure if it will be well received by her, since I live in a rather conservative country) and then a bite after. Maybe even the arcade but I'm leaving after around 3 hours into the date.

Made it clear to her we aren't friends, I have no interests in being friends and that it is a date.

Is there anything I should take note of? Any tips? Any advice on how to invoke her emotions?

How do I escalate? I understand first date should always end with a kiss but it's not the norm in my country and she has never had her first kiss before
