First dates can be among the most nerve-wracking times in any girl's life.

But being nervous isn't all bad because if there's chemistry there then it will overcome them.

Ex-No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani is proof of this fact. When she went on her first date with husband Gavin Rossdale, she broke out into red blotches.

"We went for lunch ? and as I was talking to her, I could see these red marks on her throat ? She broke into hives!" Gavin told Tyra Banks on her TV show.

But they dated anyway and eventually got married, which shows that there's no need to worry.

However, if you want to calm these nerves, there are a few helpful tips you can put into use.

These include breathing deeply, picking a pleasant environment for your first meeting and ensuring that if you've never met in person, you have a rough idea of what the guy looks like.

And if he's not your Gavin Rossdale, come back home and chat online again. Complete this form to search for your perfect guy or girl!
