I'm meeting a woman tomorrow for a first "coffee date." As you may know, coffee dates are meant to be casual meetings to determine initial chemistry, conversational compatibility, and whether a 2nd meeting is mutually desirable.
The thing is, I'm suddenly struck by a bundle of nerves. I was fine about it this morning, but it's almost 24 hours until the date, and *WHAM.* My stomach suddenly tied up in knots, maybe because I'm thinking about it so much.
What I need right now is some advice about coffee date successes. I've read a lot about what to do and what not to do, and I have my own successes and failures to draw from, but I'm interested in your personal experiences on first dates.

- What worked?
- What didn't work?
- What topics of conversation did you discuss?
- What topics did you avoid?
- How did you get over any nervousness?
