Plus it's the holiday season, and the last thing I want to do is go to a movie, much less a movie on some stranger's couch.
Why don't you just go out to a great restaurant downtown or out for drinks somewhere fun? Holiday party? The Christmas bar downtown? City Center? A show?
I think it says a lot about you that you actually want to do this - and that you're so worried about it. I'm wondering if maybe you need some more time to build up you self confidence before you start dating?

I agree with this except the "stop yourself" part. If you want to have sex, then go ahead and have sex.
This.

Agree (also had sex with my DH on our second date)
OP is not asking if it's okay to have sex on the second date so calm down.
Op has stated she doesn't want to have sex and is looking or tips.

Wear pants - easier to slow things down that way. Or at least tights and a skirt. That way he can take off your top without taking off other stuff. As opposed to a dress where you either have to stay fully clothed or almost naked.

Corny.

Married 11 years. But we had sex on the third date.

You don't need to beat around the bush. If you are old enough to have sex, you should be mature enough to communicate about it.
People who are old enough to have sex and communicate in relationships should not use terms like "second base" when communicating about sex in those relationships.

Yep. And wear ugly grandma underwear.
And don't wash your vajayjay for 3 days prior. To be sure that will be a deterrent to one or both of you.
