If you want to impress dude and make his mouth drop. Do the things for him, that if he did for you when he invites you to his home would make your mouth drop. Basically treat him like the woman. Wine and Dine his arse. Anytime a woman has flipped the script on me, it took me weeks to get my jaw off the floor.
Cooking the dinner is easy..........Seriously, buy his arse a single rose. Just one......attach a note saying what you just said about being so busy, etc. Then sit him down to a nice dinner. Tell him to wear a suit, and you dress up as well, like it is a dinner party. Have the plates(the good plates) ready when he arrives so that you can both sit down and enjoy your meal together. You should have some jazz flowing in the background. Maybe Najee's "Love Songs". Boney James is always kool. I've got some hella Miles Davis, Coltrane, Wynton, kenny G, and George Benson compilations myself. Then after dinner you should just sit and talk, maybe watch a movie, but make sure that if you watch a movie that the movie is somthing that you both have already seen, so that you won't mind starting a discussion if something takes place in the movie. I would suggest my staples : Boomerang, Love Jones, Best Man. The point to this evening is to talk, so make sure you have something to talk about. Movies and music are great conversation starters.
Now if you really want to go over the top. Give him a small gift at the end of the date. Maybe a copy of the music you listened to that night, or the movie you watched, or maybe even a new CD of some artist that you know he likes. For example, with me, a Miles Davis CD is always a perfect gift.
