You really don't want to tell your whole life story in just one date. Your life story needs to evolve over the next few dates. What makes it worse is if the restaurant supplies alcohol. Most guys on their first date will consume alcohol and end up saying inappropriate things which will basically guarantee that you won't get a second date. I would also avoid going to the cinema as it is too early on in the relationship to do so. The setting may be too intimate and your female date may feel uncomfortable.
A better option is to have your date in an informal setting. A good first date is to have a picnic at a park or at the beach. Take some packed lunch or buy some takeaway, after all it is only a casual date. Take something with you to play with such as a ball to throw around. It is important to be care free. No one wants a marriage proposal on the first date.
If you have a photo of your mom in your wallet, don't show it to your date as you will first of all appear to be a mommy's boy and secondly you will appear to be getting on too strong. Save the family photos for later on in the relationship. Don't appear to be a serious guy. For example don't talk about your job unless she asks you about it. Instead show her your fun side and show her that you have a great sense of humor. If you have a pet such as a dog, take it with you on the first date as it will add to the informal and fun feel to the date. Also most women like animals.
If you take the above advice, I can almost guarantee you that you will get to have a second date with your lady friend. Remember to make the first date fun and informal and preferably in an outdoor setting.
