As to what to wear, I'd suggest that you wear something that does not smell. It has to be fresh, and in unison with your overall outfit. Indeed, some girls might have special preferences in style. Dress accordingly.
I prefer to dress the way I like, so I generally get zero dates because I dress a bit too old-fashioned and...bydlo, sometimes, but recently I've began wearing sneakers and coloured shirts with designs on them aswell, in order to be more in touch with the masses, tainted by popular culture.

My first date with my bf started with him luring me to drink a bottle of tequila and the date continued on for 24 hours. But I don't think that's a strategy that works for everyone..

The only advice I can give that holds true in every situation is be yourself. If you go on a date with a girl/guy that you potentially want to see more of, it's vital that you don't fake anything in the beginning. It's better to realize from the get-go if you are compatible or not than to find it out later.

Agreed.

NEVER be a fake! First date with Zen and we just "gelled" ...why? Because we were not phoney, valued what the other presented and took it from there. At any moment we were both ready to 'walk away'

Keep it Real. No one wants to live a lie (contrary to what most religious people want to believe)

What do you do/not do one a first date....

How do you act? What do you wear? What are some pro tips...

Act like you're hanging out with a friend. Be yourself, be honest, but don't feel like you have to share your deepest, darkest secrets on that first date (that can come off as creepy, but if you're connecting with your date, maybe not).
Wear something that suits whatever activity you are planning on doing.
As for what to do... I say do something that you enjoy doing, or are interested in trying out. Sharing a meal is a typical first date activity. But really, anything will do (going to see live music, a museum, wandering around a street festival, etc.). My only advice in the "what to do" arena, is make sure whatever you do, you will be able to talk to your date (ie. going to the movies isn't such a great first date, in my opinion).
Mystic, you seem like a nice guy, just be yourself, and it'll go fine :-)

All what they said, but if this is a blind date, and you have never met the person before there is one thing that is more important, make sure you have an escape route!

What do you do

Hopefully, her.

not do

I don't know, the thought never crossed my mind back when i was having first dates. Off the top of my head though, I probably wouldn't talk about the "first date" I had the night before.

How do you act?

I wouldn't, acting is exhausting.

What do you wear?

Hopefully, within -at most- a few hours time..nothing..see the above.

What are some pro tips...

Wrap it up.

lol Rhythm.

I'm just not that type of person.

At this point in my life, the only thing I would do is try not to make it too obvious that going on this first date is making me feel like the guy in the closet in that baseball comedy that I can't remember the name of.

Don't worry buddy, keep trying and you'll get there......
