This is how it goes for me, in one sentence:

I find a quiet place, somewhere simple like a coffee shop (we want to talk intimately and hear each other);

clean up, dress casual, appropriate for the venue, a little aftershave (I'm suave, cool, easygoing);

Iet the woman choose the side of the table she wants (it's gentlemanly);

keep eye contact pretty much all the time, I mostly look at her left eye, but slowly and occasionally move my gaze to her right eye (eye contact is essential);

I talk very little, but if I do it's slowly, plenty of breaks and in a low voice (this took forever to learn, it's very alpha male);

the conversation is about her, questions but not an interrogation, (heard so many times from women that they rejected a man because on the first date he talked mostly about himself),

and answer her questions about you minimally (keep her guessing, be a little mysterious);

be ready to tell her max two interesting things about yourself but bring conversation back to her (show value, keep conversation going);

remember to have some physical contact, no groping, nothing creepy, just graze her fingers, upper arm, shoulder (well it's a date not a business/friends meeting);

I never say anything validating "let's meet again", "I like you", just neutral (I'm alpha, not needy);

my posture should be open legs, hands close to hers on the table, head comes in close, no fiddling or fidgeting (I'm a chronic fiddler and fidgeter);

phone is out of bounds (not vibrate, not even mute and face up on the table, the lady gets full attention);

I assume that I'm going to pay, if she insists on paying for me or halves then it's no problem (I just don't make an issue out of it. Be cool/alpha);

better if she calls me first, at least wait a day or two before contacting her (because IDGAF).

Basically I'm perfect on dates. Don't get me wrong, I'm shit at all the rest: suffer from approach anxiety, no game, text the woman obsessively, rarely actually get dates, performance in bed stinks, treat lovers awfully. Alpha on dates.
