If you want a great first date idea, take her ice skating.

think about it the big fears are talking, touching and keeping the rythem of the date going.

firstly how many of your mates took a chic to an ice skating ring for their first date?

secondly if you can do it (get some lessons if your really hopeless) you can talk help her out, and also make other converstation.

thirdly you can immidatly get over the whole touch her thing when she falls on her ass, give her a hand up and hold it to keep her balanced.

if that fails alchol always makes a night special:p
That's the best advice yet. First dates where you do something are the best, wine tasting, cooking, go karting, anything fun where you can have a laugh without having to try and make conversation with someone you don't know very well, especially if you're smitten & a bit shy. Then if you make it to a second date you have something in common to talk about. Be yourself, be confident without being arrogant, don't try and be too funny, be polite to everyone, let her lead the conversation, try and relate a few slightly embarrassing anecdotes to what she's talking about, be a gentleman, dress nicely but don't make it look like you've put too much effort into it, if you're picking her up go to the door and introduce yourself to her parents if she lives at home, take her home and walk her to her door, kiss her goodnight on the cheek if it feels right, she'll take it the rest of the way if she wants to. Send her a text the next day to say you enjoyed the date, don't call for a few days even if you don't hear back, she's testing you. Don't be too available, be a bit of a challenge.

Why didn't I know this stuff when I was your age?

Read more books and seen more movies now?

Seriously though, it's super duper good advice. Especially the last bits, a lot of guys given the chance to at least date a girl once a ready to jump right in and do everything, be everywhere and be everyone. Chicks are attracted to the challenge of roping a guy in.

Beefcake...BEEFCAKE!!!
Man it would be so funny if I took a chick ice skating on the first date. That would raise some serious red flags, there would be weirdness.

The "cinema yawn trick". Ye or ne?
You mean making a move in total fear like a raging megapussy and having to deal with extended uncomfortableness if you go through with it and it's non-starter? No. Although, if you use the "oops sorry I slipped" excuse, high five.

Girls are like sharks man, they can smell fake from a mile away, so just be natural, no matter what you do.

Pfffft. Come on, how many fakes do you know that get pussy. I know plenty.

Except a lot of people can already rollerskate so if you're not careful it'd become a competition and not an exposure/shared embarrassment kinda thing.

If you get what I mean there.

Feelin' a bit rrranty
Matt.. You're a funny guy, just be yourself. If you can exude a sense of comfort and natural friendliness, you'll immediately put your girl in the right place, too. Even if she feels awkward at first, if you can remain genuine and calm and just friendly, she'll warm up and relax very quickly. Then all you have to do is be nice and hope that you have a few things in common. Feel free to take the piss a little bit (which you're clearly good at), but don't overdo it or make it seem like you're actually being critical of her or something she might subscribe to.

Get the bill if you want, but the important part is just that you offer, really. You don't have to insist and be all machismo or anything like that, but just say something like Tristan suggested, or even just "No no, I want to pay for this" if she objects.

I really thing being genuine and being subtle are the keys. Don't try too hard to be nice or you'll seem sleazy. Don't try too hard to be funny or you'll seem desperate. Don't try too hard to be cool or you'll just seem like a dick. Realistically, if she's accepted a date you're half way there. Just be yourself and be cool and if she doesn't dig that, then.. well.. you don't want to go there anyway.
I think I love you slip.
There's your problem man.. Way too soon.

In the grand design, women were definitely drawn from a different set of blueprints. in many ways they are just like us and in many ways they are worlds apart, i'm by no means Casanova but i always try and be upfront thats all. ps: women seem to appreciate men who have an understanding of a womens body and mysteries like the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. learn such lessons now before you learn them the hard way.

i.e Don't be a fool cover your tool
and definately stay away from lines like that :p

my best first date was very un formal but alot of fun, I picked her up on an old crummy looking motorbike (I asked her to wear jeans but wouldn't tell) went for a short ride, now pay attention never ever be a tool while you have a girl in/on any vehicle. Once we reached a certain point I stopped the bike and we walked up a hill, chatted on the way up at sat on top of the tallest hill in our area (yes it has a dh track :)) and just talked. That worked for me but it all depends on the girl and your personality.

With the payment thing, as Regan says below, be assertive. Be confident but humble. You don't need to flash $50 notes or read the bill out loud - just act as if you were by yourself. If a girl ever protests with me over a bill I'll say something like "It's okay, you can get the next one" - .
pfft. tell her she can pay for your breakfast together, really test out her sense of humour..

disclamer this could go very well or more likely very badly

Apparently getting drunk and telling a girl she is really beautiful and that she should consider doing porn isn't a good way to get into her pants.

Never talk about previous girlfriends unless she asks, and even then, keep it as brief as possible.

Girls hate a guy who goes on and on about their ex.

This can also so go the opposite way as well. I was once seeing this female and all she wanted to know about was me and all the other girls i have been with and after a while of naging it just piss' you rite off.
