Date on Thursday, tips/help?

The film will give you some time together without having to talk much, so you should be able to get over your nerves. Then you've just got to navigate dinner successfully!

If you're nervous, neck a couple of shots at the bar to loosen yourself up. The alcohol will help you fly, but unlike necking pints, shots won't make you need to go to the can every 5 minutes. Be sincere, gentlemanly and be yourself. Just kick back, have fun and have no expectations of where the date will go, just let it roll.
 
Be yourself and relax, any expectations/concerns you are thinking about the date, forget about them. They will do you no good. Remember she is going out with you because she likes you the way you are. Be confident and funny...

And if that doesn't work do the vomit thing suggested above...except when she goes to clean off her shoes, whip it out! :D
 
Spend all night quoting Top Gun, and request a fly-by from her. If she responds "negative, Ghostrider, the pattern is full", perform a fly-by.

If it looks like you're going to get a kiss in the final embrace of the night, say "Too close for missiles, switching to guns" and go for it.

You know, I expected an Englishman to suggest quoting Monty Python. There goes that stereotype :hiding:

Sorry to disappoint, but I would expect Monty Python and the Holy Grail to be banned in Bahrain.
 
Buy a compression shirt and some compression shorts the day of the date, and wear them under your clothes on the night. You'll feel amazing. Similarly, a black compression shirt will highlight the finer points of your physique for her delicate eyes. Of course, avoid this if you're a fatty!

And don't forget the TOP GUN!
