So, I have been going on quite a few dates recently. I've been with 5 girls so far. One for three dates. I'm 26 and meet most of my dates online.

However, one of the issues I am having is this. I am good at getting a number, really good at texting, and then when I go on a date I just talk to them like I would talk to anyone else. Just talk about random things, observations, work, this and that.

But, I am not sure if that is really what I am suppose to be doing. I don't know how I am suppose to structure things. I sort of suggest we eat dinner (although I really and truly hate dinner dates, would rather do something else besides trying to talk to a new person while trying to eat at the same time).

I mean is there a good "flowchart" of things to try to hit over a date. Obviously human interaction isn't robotic, but having some way of structuring a date properly would help.

Thanks for any help with this.

TL;DR: Long of the short, how should I structure a date, what are things I should be talking with a girl about, and how do I make a connection and not ruin it with a girl there is a possible connection with.
