How to REALLY Impress a Woman on the First Date

In a recent survey of over 300 women, we asked the question: How could a guy totally knock your socks off impress you on a first (or second) date? The following is the exact responses from the women. To sum it up women want flowers, a guy who makes them laugh and a complete gentleman.

Bring me long stem roses Take me to a dinner in the park and to a concert

Have a plan for the entire night from the moment he picks you up till the moment he drops you off

Pay for dinner

By being polite, and not wanting to rush anything(like trying to talk me into having sex).
