In a few days I am going to go out for a date, and I have never dated anyone before, in fact I don't think that I have ever talked to a girl in my whole life, and I didn't even fix that date, there was a friend who did it for me, and now I have no clue about what I am supposed to do.. What are people supposed to do on a date ? what kinds of things should I say ? And what kinds of things shouldn't I say ? Please I need all the advice that I can get because I am a total newbie about everything that has to do with these kinds of things.

Done that before then E_B??
But, seriously, be yourself. None of this cheesy turning up with flowers like you see in the movies.
Oh, and give her your full attention. If you go to, lets say a pub, and the football comes on pretend it's not there cos she'll only start looking at you and then you'll end up feeling allself conscious.

AHA!
Got a little snort out of me there. Going by Goatboy's theory, does this mean I want to rat you into the New Year?
Laughing is a good thing, but there are two types of laughter.
Good laughter where they laugh at your jokes and keep playfully touching you.
Bad nervous laughter where they think you're going to take them to a farm in the dark that pretends to sell Christmas trees and throttle them.

Shhh!
Get yourself in a good mood before you go out. Try to get to know her - by asking questions and responding to her answers you stand a good chance of starting a conversation, and from that a rapport. If you can be funny too, all the better.
I've never been on a "date" either, the idea scares me. I do have a girlfriend of five years now, so they are by no means necessary. If you can de-formalise it in your mind to something more akin to a social gathering with just you and some girl, you'll probably do better. Imagine you're just going to the cinema with your mate or something, just minus the mate and plus one female.

Well, how else did he get the date? Act like his best mate? I hope not.

Depends which way the date's going.

Last date I went on, first thing I did when I saw her standing outside Liverpool St was stick my tongue out and give her the V's.
She laughed.

Or more seriously: be yourself, have a laugh with her, show her that you care without coming on too strong or desperate. And again: have a laugh with her.
