If you are going on a date there are a few things that you will definitely want to take with you. These items will differ depending on if you are a guy or a girl, but all of them are necessities.

First and foremost, you definitely want to take your purse or wallet. Even if you are expecting the other person to pay, you still want to make sure that you have money with you. There is no way of telling what will pop up.

Second, even though you do not want to become obsessed with thinking about sex, you may want to take some form of protection with you. Stuff happens, and you do not want to be put in a bad position.

Certainly always remember to take a cell phone. This can be particularly useful for a woman. If you are going out on a date with somebody for the first time, you always want to have a cell phone for safety reasons.

Also, remember that if you are driving, it is always important to take directions. You do not want to get lost. This can be a very embarrassing situation; especially if you have reservations or are trying to make a particular movie.
