As I do not meet with blind dates... I have met this person prior to our first date, so I already know what I am looking for and whether this person can supply this and if I can supply what they are seeking in a person... At least, this is a start!!!
I like a person to be who they genuinely are and I will be the same, this determines if we will be more or just remain friends. I enjoy being with people and just enjoy life and see where this will lead.....
Maybe, even a second date or chatting on the phone.....Get to know each other and determine if this will go further.............Hey, these things take time, energy and genuine time on both people. Make a boyfriend or a friend...nothing to lose!!!! Loads to gain as people...

ynotleon69: what do you look for on a first date ???
the whole package --->>> who is he & what is his entire purpose without bombarding him with loads questions while enjoying the moment... I am always fast and quick on this one...
Nothing. I bring no expectations with me other than the hope that the person feels free enough, comfortable enough, and trusting enough to simply be themselves.
If I'm looking for a girlfriend then good looks with the face being the most important. I've gotta look at her and provide for her for a long time, and I won't be much inspired to do either unless her face is intoxicating.
If I'm looking for Pump & Dump then good looks with her body being the most important, as I don't have to sweat the worry of romantically gazing into the eyes of a plain jane year after year.
But of course, whether I'm plotting cad or plodding Dad I really look for the woman who has it all, face and body (and yeah, personality too, I guess) if such a woman is a real prospect.
I'll be honest and say that there are a few things that I look for such as are they showing up, at least on time or call to say if they'll be late, dressed up at least a little (ie. have they made an effort), good manners such as not talking on their cell phone or bringing it out to look at it constantly (to me that's annoying), how they interact with others besides me, how we get along (ie. good flow of conversation, laughter) and whether there is chemistry.

isn't it a sight when a couple appear to be out to dinner and they both have their cell phones out ignoring each other from across the table

Even worse is when a couple sit there eating dinner and never say a word to each other.

I personally think that cell phones should be put away when one is on a date .... if your phone vibrates with a message, at least excuse yourself and go to the bathroom to check if its an emergency or not (call them when your date is over) - otherwise ignore it.
Having sat with someone on a first date as they texted their teenager over something that wasn't important and could have waited until they got home, I realized that they were not "present" and engaged in the moment.
I think if you want someone to take you seriously, give them your time and effort.
