Offer the person you're going on a date a few options. If both you and your partner are busy people, plan ahead. Offer the person several dates. This way your partner will see that you are ready to accommodate his schedule.[1]
Ask if the person is free on Wednesday or Thursday. This way you will directly state your intentions, but at the same time offer several options. The person will see that you respect their time and can plan a date based on busyness.
Ask the person which day suits him best (weekday or weekend). This will demonstrate your ability to adapt to a person’s schedule and the desire to do everything so that a person is comfortable.

Find out what the person you're going on a date likes. After you decide on the date, offer several options for spending time. This will show the person that you are willing to consider their interests and that you are trying to make the date perfect.
Ask like this: “Would you like to relax or do something more active?” or "Would you rather meet outside or indoors?" The answer will point you in the right direction.
At this point, don't offer anything specific. Let some part of your plans be a surprise.

Book everything you need. To make the date perfect, you will need to make reservations in advance. Don't let it happen and book a table at a restaurant, a mini-golf course, buy tickets to a concert or arrange a skydive with an instructor. Make all calls in advance so that you are calmer.
Some restaurants don't make reservations, and some activities don't require tickets. In this case, it is important to come up with a backup plan in case something goes wrong.

Think of a backup plan. Sometimes things don't go as planned. Some of you may be late at work or stuck in traffic. Whatever you're planning, it's important to always have one more pastime in reserve. It will be good for you to have something else in mind, even if it is just your favorite coffee shop or a beautiful place in the city.
Book two tables at different restaurants that are located nearby: one at 18:00, the other at 18:30. If you are late for the first time, you can go to the second restaurant. This will allow you to make a good impression on the person you are going on a date with, as it will be clear to him that you have thought through everything to the smallest detail.

Tell the person you're going on a date about your plans ahead of time. Let the person know what you have planned so they can get ready and choose the right clothes. Active pastime requires sportswear, and an evening in an expensive restaurant requires evening wear. Tell about plans at least a day in advance so that the person does not make decisions in a hurry.[4]
For example, if you are planning a hike, ask the girl to prepare sneakers and comfortable clothes so that she does not come in heels.
If you want to go to the opera, ask the person to dress up for a romantic evening in the city. If the person doesn't dress well enough because they don't know your plans, they will feel uncomfortable, which can ruin the date.

Consider another place. If the date goes really well, neither of you will want it to end. Decide where you will go for coffee or something alcoholic if you want to continue the date. It's best to choose a location near the home of the person you're asking for a date to show respect for their time and let them know that you don't want them to stay longer than planned.[5]
You can not choose a place, but just walk or ride through beautiful places to spend more time together.
The person you've asked out on a date might invite you to come over, and that's okay! But do not offer it yourself, so as not to seem intrusive.
