Date advice?

So as of right now I’m about to go on a date with a girl in the next few days, I was pretty surprised that see was down to go out with me, she seems to have a really nice personality and she’s real cute but after so many times of gettin rejected by other girls my whole life and having experience with girls ghost me. I don’t want to get my hopes up if that makes sense. I don’t want to end up catching feelings fast cause I know that just makes the rejection even worse.

So what should I do to slow down and not get all caught up. I really would like for her to like me back and go on a great date with her but I guess if history repeats its self I would like for it not to stings as bad as all of the other time hahaha
